Adams of the Department of Afro
American Studies at Howard
University in Washington, D.C.,
explained in commenting on the re-
cent debate over racial identity
during Black History Month.

Writing in the current issue of
the new Black Excellence magazine
on ~~Naming The Race,TT Adams
points out that opersons of colorT
in the United States have been
identified as ~~Colored, Negro,
Afro-American and Black,?T
before the Rev. Jesse Jackson sug-
gested using the original term,
~*African-American,?T for U.S.
citizens whose ancestors came
from the new worldTs . second
largest continent.

The basic rationale for sug-
gesting this specific change now
was that of all the distinct ethnic
and cultural groups. in America,
~blacksT? were the only group
which did not have a clear
geographic reference point in its
name (such as Italian-American or

Irish-American), Dr. Adams em-

__ A Long Wa

By: Deacon James Vines

After the funeral of my dear
friend, I just couldnTt erase the
memory of how he looked when
they dragged him from the river.
I did all that I could to comfort his
brother, but nothing I could say
did much good. So I decided to
look again for a job. This time I
was lucky enough to find one. It
was just what I needed to help
calm my nerves. The job that I
found was at a drug store deliver-
ing medicine and other things
that were ordered.

There were two other delivery
boys there whom I knew very
well, so that made the job a very
pleasant place to work and for a
while I was very happy there.

I quickly learned the route and
was doing good until one day I got
an order to deliver some things to
one of the customers whom I had
delivered to for a long time. The
druggist came to the little room
in back where we sat and waited
for our orders to be called out us
and yelled trip James. So I
followed him to the counter
where the orders were kept and
picked up the one that I was sup-
posed to deliver. It was sprinkl-
ing rain so I put on a short coat
that I kept in the room for such
occasions. I put the coat on and
went out the door where we park-
ed our bicycles. I got on the one
that I always rode and took off.
I soon arrived at the house that
order went to. I parked the bike
and walked up the steps on to the
front porch and rang the door
bell.

After ringing it twice I hearda
voice say, ~Who is it?TT and I
answered back saying the boy
from the drugstore, and she sa
~Just a minute.?T So I waited a fe

said ~How much is it?TT and I said

did. So I took the five and gave

leave when she called for me to
come back, and she asked me if
I had a raincoat. I said ~No
maam.? She then said ~Wait a
minute, I have one here that you
can have.? She turned and went
back to the back porch and came
back with a very nice rain coat
and gave it to me and said that I
could have it. I took the coat and
thanked her and went back to the
store. Little did I know what was
to happen in the next few times
that I was sent to this same
house.

A few days passed and I was to
go there several times when one
day I wnet there and thatTs when
some unusual things began to
happen.

The man at the soda fountain
came to the front door and call-
ed for me to come in the store
that he had a trip for me. It was
a lovely day, plenty of sunshine
and the temperature was about 75
or 80 degrees. I picked up the
order and took off. I arrived at
the place of the address on the
order, parked my bike, and went
on the porch and rang the
doorbell. A very soft voice said in
an almost-whisper to come in
because the door was not locked.
I walked in and just to my left I
could see her and hear a low
voice tell me to come over there.
The shades and curtains were
drawn and it was alomost dark in
the room where she stood. I
repeated that I was the boy from
the drugstore. ThatTs: when she

Strategic Planning Fo

On Tuesday evening, October
18, 1988, approximately 275
zens representing govern-

terests gathered at the Ramada

Inn in Greenville to begin a plan-
ning process that is vital to the

future of Pitt County.

Participants in that event
devoted their discussions to two

major issues:

" What are the obstacles

Some Tips On Getting Along
With Your Boss

1. Listen. Bosses like people
who donTt have to be told things
twice.

motion improve.

6. Accentuate the positive.

7. DonTt stay late; come in ear-
ly. Coming in early says, ~ITm
eager to get startedTT, while stay-
ing late says, ~I didnTt get things
done.? Put in extra hours at the
beginning and not the end of the
day.

8. Keep your promises. When
you find you cannot deliver, alert
your boss as soon as possible.

9. Know your boss. ~Knowledge
is powerTT, Francis Bacon said.
Learn your bossTs background,
company history, work habits,
career goals, and likes and
dislikes.

10. DonTt get too close. You and
your boss arenTt equals in your
organization. Anyone who bases
his standing in an organization
solely on his relationship with his
boss has rooted himself in thin
soil that can easily be washed
away.

The best thing you can do for
your boss is to do your job well.
Still, a good relationship should
help both of you to be more effec-
tive, generating in the process,
blessings and benefits for all.

Everyday Manners In Public
Places
Somke

Doggie bags.

¥estaurants serve enormous por-

tions of food which their
customers canTt possibly finish.
when this happens it is ap-
propriate to ask the the waiter to
have uneaten portions wrapped
for you to take home. I think it
shows prudence and foresight to
take food home rather than to
allow perfectly good food to be
thrown out in the restaurant
kitchen.

Simple introductions. Men
should always stand, and most
women too, when being introduc-
ed to older people or to high of-
ficials. A man always stands
when being introduced to another
man or a woman, and today at
small gatherings more and more
women feel comfortable standing
when the men stand to be in-
troduced to a newcomer. I think
it shows both consideration and a
special interest to stand and
devote your full attention to so-
meone new.

Tipping. A tip of some sort is

- mandatory in restaurant dining.

Whether or not you visit the
salon only a few times a year or
you have a standing weekly ap-
pointment, your tips should re-
main consistent. DonTt pay less if
you visit less often. They are still
putting out the same quality work
for you.

If the owner of the shop has cut
your hair, he or she doesnTt
receive a tip. Often the owner
charges more for a cut, so there
is no reason to tip, though on your
way out show your appreciation
with a thank you.

AUTOMOBILES. A woman is
not expected to wait for a man to
get out of the car and trot around
to open her door for her while she
sits there like some delicate
hothouse flower. Women no
longer need to appear helpless,
just as men no longer need to act

Comments

~Republican National Committee Chairman Lee

Atwater from the universityTs 30-member board
of trustees asa moral victory.

Atwater, who became a convenient umbrella for
years of pent-up student frustration over campus
crime, housing, and student loans, was just as
lame in his Republican defense. Being as pure as
the driven snow, all this official of ~~the party of
OpportunityTT wanted was a chance to serve the
black community by raising money and scholar-
ships for Howard and getting internships for the
students at the White House, Atwater intimated.

Both Jackson and Atwater reeked of political
partisanship; both were conveniently shielded
from the truth by their shared objective of con-
trolling the black vote. However partisan, their
ambitions were at least motivated by an under-
standable objective.

But it was a black columnist for The
Washington Post whose motives are suspect, at

best. Courtland Milloy, who has written previous-
ly that black people are incapable of economic
self-sufficiency, interpreted the student activism
as ~Revolution by Flunking Out.?

The Howard students, he wrote, suffered from
the delusion that what they were doing was mean-
ingful. ~~What black students should really be
outrraged about is the fact that so many of them
are flunking out of school,?T charged Milloy.

To prove his point he quoted from an article in

~~HarperTsTT by an English teacher at a white col- .
lege in San Jose (previously, to prove his point

that blacks were too brain dead to run a business,
he used a white teacher at the University of
Maryland as his reference).

The black ~~drop-out rate is 72 percent,TT despite
the white collegesT attempt to help them. Rather
than demonstrating, they would be better off
oreading and studying,T Milloy quoted the
teacher as saying. After all, blacks have ~~the
highest drop-out rate and lowest grade point
average of any group in American universities,?T
Milloy further quoted his source from San Jose
University.

And, Milloy stressed, the students at Howard
cannot justify this academic failure by denouncing
AtwaterTs presence on the board of trustees. ~o~The
issue, for now, is the proliferation of mediocrity
among black college students, and what to do
about it,TT the Black Sage of The Washington Post
proclaimed. He seems to suggest black students
are stupid (~~mediocre,TT he says) because of ac-
tivism and retarded because they are activists.

oLove's Labour's

ShakespearTs comedy, ~~LoveTs
LabourTs Lost,?T will be perform-
ed at East Carolina University
Monday, April 10, by The Acting
Company, a touring drama com-
pany which has presented some
half a dozen classic plays on
previous visits to the campus.

The performance will begin at
8:00 p.m. in Wright Auditorium.

The . Acting CompanyTs
Shakespeare production is part of
ECUTs 1988-89 Performing Arts
Series. Tickets for the general
public are $14 each, $7 for youth,
and are on sale at the Central
Ticket Office in Mendenhall Stu-
dent Center; telephone (919)
757-6611, ext. 266. Telephone
ticket orders may be charged to
major credit cards.

*fLoveTs LabourTs Lost?T is an
early Shakespeare play con-
sidered by modern scholars to be
the first mark of the dramatistTs
great genius. It concerns the ef-
fects of a vow to swear off women
and worldly pleasures taken by
King Ferdinand of Navarre and
three of his nobles,

Their plan is upset and high-
spirited frolics ensue when the
Princess of France and her ladies
appear on the scene. The result is
humurous deceit, surreptitious
delivery of love sonnets, music
and dance. As the drama con-
cludes, the young menoand
women are faced with the death
of the PrincessT father and the
need to enter the audit world or
reality.

The family is the core one our ex! ~exist stenc y

Back in May of 1984, the National
Association for the Advancement of Col-
ored People, in conjunction with the Na-
tional Urban League, jointly sponsored a
**Black Family SummitTT which was held on
the campus of Fisk University in Nashville,
Tennessee.

The two sponsoring groups recognized
then that the black family, the single most
important institution in our community,
had come under withering assault by any
number of social factors. Among them
were racism, unemployment, inferior
educational opportunities, drugs, crime, as
well as other negative influences.

Those factors had had a devastating im-
pact on the family, the once impregnable
bastion of security and hope in the black
community.

The proportion of black children born
out of wedlock had increased nearly 60% or
almost three times the 1960 rate. The seeds
for an ever growing cycle of poverty, once

sown, had begun to grow to full bloom and

promised to reap an 5 ginticeliie harvest
within the country.

This in itself was alarming and it called "

for immediate action then, and it calls for
concerted action now on the part of the
African American community.

Black family crisis was not one brought
on by an intrinsic weakness in the body
politic of African Americans, but by
economic and political factors over which
African Americans had little or no control.

But, now, many of the conditions which
led to breakdown in the black family have
spilled over into white families as well.

Fortunately, there are some positive signs
that increasingly, all segments of society
have recognized that unless resolved, poten-
tially the breakdown of the family structure
can be as deadly as a nuclear attack.

There can be no question about it,
America must find solutions to he problems
which now involve families of every race.
The solutions must be found soon.
