Russell Ford Refuses Draft
Registration
By PATRICK OTNEILL
i Staff Writer
Russell Ford, the first
American citizen to be im-
prisoned for refusing draft
registration since the Viet-
nam War, will be visiting
East Carolina during the
first week of February at
the invitation of the Green-
ville Peace Committee.
Ford, 19, who was in-
dicted by the federal
government last summer,
spent five weeks in jail
when he refused the condi-
tions of his bail bond.
Presently, Ford is. still
awaiting trial on the failure
to register charge. If con-
victed, Ford could face a
maximum of five years in
prison and-or a $10,000 "
fine. Due to the illness of
the judge hearing his case,
Ford has been free awaiting
tiral. His first appearance
to introduce motions is now
scheduled for February 8th.
Like the other 13 men
who have been indicted thus -
far, Ford was open and
vocal about his refusal.
When he reached his eigh-
teenth birthday, he wrote
letters to President Reagan,
the Selective Service
System, and several other
~government officials, ex-
plaining his reasons for his
refusal to comply with draft .
registration. |
~~It has ~always been
young men such as myself
who have done the killing
and the dirty work that the
government leaders have
directed,TT Ford wrote in his
1981 letter to the govern-
ment officials. ~~It could
have been me who nailed -
Jesus to the cross, who ran
the ovens at Dachau, who
bombed Dresden, and then
Hiroshima. It is men like
me_all over the world who
are training to kill, to die, at
the order of their govern-.
ments.TT :
Ford went on to write: ~~I
say ~enough!T I refuse to .
kill, I will not cooperate
with you in your murderous
business from which some
profit while others die. I
will not compete with you
in violence by turning guns
and threats of destruction
against you... I regret that
this has brought me in con-
flict with the government of
my country, but I cannot
comply with the dictates of
that government while still
seeking to serve the cause of
life on earth.�T
Ford signed his letter. .
~*for the generations yet un-.
born.�
FordTs visit to ECU is
tentatively slated for the
dates of February 1.- 5.
During that time, he will be .
available to speak to local
organizations, classes at
ECU, and with the media.
T He will also be available .
informally to discuss his
own feelings concerning
draft registration with other
18, 19, and 20 year olds
who are also faced with this |
difficult decision.
FordTs itinerary is not yet
firm, but according to the
Greenville Peace: Commit-
_tee, Ford will: probably be
speaking at a public
meeting on the evening of
Wednesday, February 2nd.
Other groups or in-.
dividuals wishing to get
more information on the
Ford visit.are asked to con-
tact the Greenville Peace
Committee at 758-4906 (610

Speak Out!
Td like to take this. op-
portunity to challenge the
black organizations. and
students on this campus. It
seems that the hardest thing
for the fraternities and
sororities to do is work
together. You already
represent a minority
because each individual
Organization can not hope
to measure up to the larger »
white fraternities and
sororities, who enjoy the
lavish, ritzy old homes
along Fifth Street.
So why not begin to work
together in an effort to pro-
mote prosperity for blacks
on this campus. ItTs time
for petty jealousies to be
put away. You are in. col-
lege now; itTs time to act as
adults, not as paranoid
teenagers. The time has
come for you to trust one
another. Do you want to
always have meetings and
parties in a small sweatbox,
two room house disguised
as a cultural center? Do you
- want to always bé treated as
a second rate student who
enjoys few social activities
because of the lack of -uni-
ty?
I put it to you, the black »
students of this campus. It
is time to take your head
Out of the ozone, and make
some changes.
The first way is to re-
establish a council of biack
organizations. This council
could help represent. the
Organizations and be as one
voice, instead of many
small voices that cry out,
See eee ey
~~ you donTt even participate
~pill are never heard. There 5
are many opportunities that
are not being exploited,
such as our potential
strength inT working
together. But not to be
overlooked is the black stu-
dent apathy. How do you
the black student criticize
the lack of social activities
for the minorities, when
tu
Maw ralie
in the activities that are
planned. DonTt you think
itTs time to participate? Or
do you choose to spend
your college years quietly
and uneventfully like a
jackass?
I challenge you all to get
involved, or either you can.
do as you usually do: Read
this article, shrug your
shoulders, pretend that ITm
not talking about you, and
go on to play the same old al
game with the JonesT. But
then, it doesnTt take brains
to sit in a soda shop and be

I Spoke To ~Martin Luther Kites
Last night,
I got down on my knees and asked God
if I could speak to Martin Luther King.
When Martin Luther King stepped into my prayers
I asked, ~~Now can I be like you?TT
He looked into my face and replied,
o*Love every man as if he were your brother.�T
o~Raise not your hand against any man, but
turn the other cheek. Treat every man
as if he were your neighbor.�

Said Dr. King, ~~Every man in his heart
can love his fellow man. If you can

Hiram Rhoades Revels, a
native of North Carolina, is
~the first negro to have serv-
ed in the U.S. Senate.
Revels was elected from his
adopted state of. Mississip-
pi, and served for approx-
imately 1 year, i.e. from
February 1870 to March
1871.
Born in 1822 in Fayet-
teville County, Revels was
educated in Illinois. Or-
dained a minister in the
_ African Methodist Church,
he worked among negro set-
tlers in the northwest ter-
ritory, and in the border
States of Kentucky and
Missouri before settling in
Baltimore, Maryland.
There, he served as a church
pastor and school principal.
During the Civil War,
Revels helped organize a
pair of negro regiments in
Maryland and, in 1863,
went to St. Louis to
establish a. freedmen
school, and to carry on his
work as a recruiter. For a
year, he served as chaplain
of a Mississippi regiment
before accepting the post of
provost Marshall of
~Vicksburg. While in this
part of the country, he was
also active in organizing a
number of negro churches,
particularly in Jackson, the
State Capitol. |
Revels settled in Naiches
at the end of the war. In
~ 1868, he joined the
Methodist Episcopal
church, and was appointed
alderman by the union
military governor of the
state. Revels accepted this
post with some frepidation,
since he feared it would lead
to a conflict of interests.
Eventually, however, he
won the respect of his con-
stituents for his alert grasp
of important state issues
and, as such, found it ad-
vantageous to . pursue a
political career. He even
supported legislation which
would have. restored voting
and office-holding
privileges to disfranchised
Southerners.
Revels was named presi-
dent of Alcorn University
near Lorman, Mississippi
after he had left politics for
good. He devoted most of
the remainder of his life to
developing Alcorn as an in-
stitution of learning. which
the Negro could place his
trust. In 1876 he became.
editor of the Southern
Christain Advocate, a
religious journal.

One of a handful of
names which. immediately
leaps to mind at the men-
tion of the American negro
is that of Frederick
Douglass, probably the
foremost voice in the aboli-
tionist movement of the
ninetenth century.
Born in February of 1817
in Talbot County,
Maryland, Douglass was
sent to Baltimore as a house
servant at the age of eight.
He learned to read and
write under the instruction
of his mistress. At the death
of her husband, Douglass
was sent to the country asa
field hand. In his early
teens, he began to teach ina
Sunday school which was
forcibly shut down by
hostile Southerners.
- Douglass himself was sever-
ly flogged for his resistance
to slavery.
After making one unsec-
cessful attempt to escape,
Douglass managed to make
his way to New. York
disguised as a sailor. Once
in the North, it was not long
before he found his true
calling---leader in the anti-
slavery crusade. Taken on
as an agent by the
| oMassachusetts Anti-Slavery
Society, he soon helped in
the fight then taking place
in Rhode Island against a
~New constitution aimed at
disenfranchising the negro.
As the years passed,
Douglass became an in-
creasingly familiar figure to
abolitionists throughout the
- country. In 1845, after hav-
ny ing published his Narrative
at great personal risk (that
of re-enslavement as a
fugitive), he went to
England, where he raised
enough money, through lec-
tures on slavery and.
womenTs rights, to buy his
freedom. Upon his return
to his native shores, he
founded the famous
newspaper, The North Star.
Later, he was forced to flee
to Canada when the gover- -
nor of Virginia swore out a
warrant for his arrest on
charges that he had con-
spired with John Brown,
leader of the HarperTs ferry
revolt.
With the outbreak of the
Civil War, Douglass---once
again back in the. United
States---met with President
Abraham Lincoln, and
assisted him in recruiting
what were to become the
celebrated 54th and 55th .
Massachusetts Negro
regiments.
In 1871, during othe
Reconstruction peroid, he
was appointed to the ter-
ritorial legislature of the
District of Columbia; . in
1872 he served as the
presidential electors-at-
large for New York and,
shortly after, became
secretary of the Sante Dom-
ingo Commission,
~In 1877, after a short
term as a police commis-
sioner of the District of
Columbia, he was ap-
pointed Marshal---a post he
held until named. Recorder
of Deeds in 1881.
8 years later, in return for
his strong support of the
presidential campaign of
Benjamin Harrison,
Douglas was appointed to
the most important Federal
posts he was. to- hold---
- ~Minister. Resident and
Counsul General to the
Republic of Hati, and later,
Charge deT Affaires for San-
ta Domingo. - However,
when he saw his efforts be-.
ing undermined by.
unscrupulous American
businessmen interested sole-_
ly in exploiting Hati, he
finally resigned his post in
1891.
4 years later, Frederick
Douglass died at his home
in Washington, D.C.

Organization of United Africa
By CAROLLE DAVIS |
: Features Editor
The Organization for United
Africa, is an organization that is
vastly sweeping through North
Carolina. Their purpose is an ex-.
pression of solidarity for the conti-.
nent of Africa.
OUF feels that this is a year for
unity, and invite you to participate
in the celebration.
Black Arts Festival Week, spon-
sored by the Student Union, to
begin January 30, 1983, is urging -
students to contribute their talents.
It-may be song, dance; arts and
crafts, original dress, or folk tales.
East Carolina University has ap-
preciated the participation of OUF,
and they have offered transporta-
tion and accomodations during the
time of the performance, which will
be the 4th and Sth of February,
1983.
The ; Organization. for. UnitedT.
Africa) was formed by Apollo
Okoth, to discuss the countries of
Africa. The countries of Africa have ..
many common problems. The OUF
is working to find. solutions. for
~those problems of importance, since
the continent of Africa is endowed
with human and. natural ~resources
which should » make ~herT self-.
sufficient, to defend herself against "
economic exploitation.
Here are five important points,
that the Organization of United
Africa can solidly and relentlessly "
nee to conquer a cherished goal.
Fostering cultural and social
ties ~with all peoples of African des- .
cent
2. To foster unity among
members and promote social,
political and cultural awareness of
_ Africans:
*3. Promoting understariding bet-
ween Africans and the outside world
4. Providing " a forum for the
discussion of issues pertaining to.
Africa .
5. Promoting the solidarity Of:
Africans
The OUF can be achieved and the
solutions to achieve it are important
both; in their own right and in the
context that they will be achieved.
The chairman of the OUF, Apollo
C. Okoth, believes that, ~~AfricaTs
needs are not the massive injections
of capital which the west tries to buy
. the favor of developing countries.
Such. ..-hand-outs, «disappear. like «
snowflakes in the Sahara Sands and
little possitive effect.TT He continues
to say, othere is sufficient practical -
background and know-how. to
utilize it for true future develop-
ment,. _ Even.less does
Africa need the massive shipments
of arms. and ammunition which the
communist world so gladly Siophcs
on the pretext of aiding the so-called
oppressed people in their struggle
for freedom, a struggle which
reduces fto futile arguement with
AfricaTs colonial past.�T
Nations _ everywhere frequently
claim to desire peace. OUF, in fact,
| supports this claim, yet peace re-
~mains as elusive as ever. Why? .
~Unrealized by most of us, it did
not ever occur to us that there is a
cause for every effect. Are we truly "
educated unless we know where we
are going in the end?�T The answer,
oour Motherland...Africa. Unless
we know the true values from the
false, and the way to such desired
conditions as peace, happiness, pro-
sperity, and the enjoyable pleasant
and interesting life. Brothers and
Sisters, did you ever wonder why ~it
is, that nearly everybody wants to
live a life that is pleasing.. -without
boredom, aches, pains, suffering, or
unpleasant environments and cir-
cumstances? We experience a
hunger for something that will really .
_ Satisfy; yet somehow, we never find
it, except at brief intervals that
never seem to last.�T se ak
Okoth says we are living in a time
of economica! and political turmoil.
_We are driven away from reality,
and made to forget the good old
days, the days where we took pride
- cultural values. ~
in our tradition. He feels itTs a
shame that we are all gathered here
today and have to use the English
language as our way of aN Races com-
munication.
When Okoth was asked why
Africa) was underdeveloped, |
member of the third world, and ;
host of. illiteracy, disease and
hunger, this was his reasoning.
~*There is no difference in mental °
capacity. Some nations succeed
because they cheerfully pay the price

Would you like to ake aust a mo-
. ment to.save.a seal pups life?
~Seal hunting is a grisly business.
oif youTve seen pictures of it or heard
stories about it, you know what ITm
talking about. The seal pups are less
_than three. weeks old and helpless.
They are too young to.swim, too
young to escape across the ice...too
young to die. As the hunters ap-
_ proach across the ice, the pups can
. only. look up with uncomprehending
eyes as death comes on the end of a
club.
... This instant death comes from the
steel-tipped clubs that are swung
like heavy bats...crushing the pups
skulls. Skinning knives are. drawn,
and the pup is quickly and unmer-_
-cifully slit open from throat to tail.
Its bloodied coat is severed from the
babyTs corpse. The hunters then go.
to the next..and the next...and the
next.
Last. year, over 300,000. hard and
hooded seals were clubbed or shot
to death, so the fashion conscious
~amohg us could stay. up with the
latest style.
~ You can help stop that killing--by
helping GREENPEACE.
GREENPEACE ~is getting ready
for the seal hunters, just as it has for
the last seven years, by working on
ways to stop it.
GREENPEACE began their cam-
paign by protecting the seals with
their bodies and trying to spray the
pups with a harmless, organic dye.
_ Bye being dyed, the pups pelts
become worthless to the hunters.
The efforts of GREENPEACE to
protect the seals are numerous.
They dyed the pups pelts to destroy
their economic value, and they
_ physically blocked boats loads cf
hunters, to name.a few. Their main
goal is to generate. the publics outcry
over the ~thunt�T to force the Cana-
dian and Norwegian governments to
ban it.
GREENPEACE is asking for.
your help, before the hunt begins.
The final vote on the Common
Market ban tock place in»
December, the same month the seal
kill quotas for 1983 will be set.
A large scale and costly public
pressure battle will be necessary--
either to enforce the ban, or, in the
event of its failure to use the
momentum they need individual
countries to ban seal products on
their own,
Christian Rieber, director of the
largest. sealing company in the
world, admitted not long ago to
.feporters that ~~if the seal hunt pro- "
testors continue their campaigns, |
the future of the sealing industry
doesnTt look especially bright.TT
bright.TT
Liss vou agree with
-GREENPEACE, that we must sup-
port and feel for all forms of life as
we feel for ourselves.

Naylor Fitzhugh has long believed

was largely closed to them. He never

Seven black roles need to be filled.
to forget those color bar-
riers. broken by black
athletes by
Olympian Jesse Owens and
baseball hall of fameTs
Jackie Robinson who made
it possible for future
_generations of young black
men and women fo compete
with white for athletic
acholarships as well as
acedemic scholarships.
These important -ac-
complishments by -Owens
and Robinson not only in-
iated the black manTs accep-
tance as an athlete, bu also
served as a catalyst to in-
_itiate the black manTs social
acceptance by a white socie-
ty.
Before the gains made by
Olympic track star, Jesse
Owens and the first black
American to play in the ma-
jor leagues, Jackie Robin-
son, the black athlete was
confined to the barriers of
negro athletic leagues. as
well as the barriers of strug-
eling negro colleges.
Betore Jackie Robinson
signed with the Brooklyn
Dogers in 1947, he -was
forced to play in the negro _
league because of the color
barrier that existed in the
major leagues since 1876.
But Jackie still remained -
fiercely competitive, despite
being- denied, the oppor-
tunity to play in the majors.
But the Dogers could no
longer continue to ignore
his outstanding statistics
and in the Spring of T47 the
Dogers offered Jackie a try
out and he accepted the
challenge. Jackie survived
the jibes of other players
and soon demonstrated. his
capabilities as he led the
Dogers to the World Series
and became Rookie of the .
Year. As JackieTs team-
mates and fans accepted
numerous others, we tend.
people like "
athlete
black men to win an athletic
_ scholarship to a
predominantly
ouniversity. Robinson excell-
white
ed in four major sports
while attending the Univer-
sity of California. In foot-
ball, in 1938, he led the na-
tion in punt returns; in
basketball, he won the divi-
sion scoring title, while also
competing as a baseball and
track star.
Robinson quit baseball in
1956 and became a promi-
nent businessman while also
engaging im politics .and
civil rights.
Probably the only black
whoTs | ac-
complishments can shadow
those oi people like Jackie
Robinson ==was_ Jessie
Owens. In the 1936 Olym-
pics in. Berlin, Owens
became the most striking
figure there, besides Adolf
Hitler. Hitler saw the 1936
Olympics as his chance to
prove to the world- the
supremacy of the ~~Aryan
RaceTT as he predicted Ger-
man victory in every event.
But when the: athletes
burst through the tape at
the finish line of the 100
and 200 meter .run, Jesse
Owens, - representing the
U.S.A. was the victor who
would wear the gold.
Owens returned home to
~ the United States, a hero
and was accepted not only
as black athlete but as a
black American. America |
accepted Jesse and soon ac-
cepted other blacks as a
part of them. .
When reminiscing the
gains made by blacks like |
Dr. King, who got us to
front of the bus, we should
also remember blacks like
Jackie Robinson and Jesse
Owens who made the first
strides to get us ON the bus.
