for an investment company. The
manager is trained to select in-

try picking individual investments

the fund reflects changes in the |
prices of the stocks or bonds.To [i od
invest in mutual funds, you can

you often can switch among funds

you're spreading the risk: While
the price of one stock declines, for
example, the price of another may

There Ts a little of the rebel in all
of us "especially when we're grow-
ing up "This is often reflected in
teenage attitudes toward drink-
ing "many teenagers look forward
to their legal drinking age as the
threshold of a more glamorous
life "and some even attempt to
move this age forward through a
rebellion againstauthority.Or they
may feel that using alcohol will
make it easier to fit in with the
crowd, and help them be oin on
things. ?Having friends, being liked
and accepted by the group is im-
portant to everyone, at every age.
But it Ts especially important to
teenagers.Yet those who drink
because they feel it makes them
attractive, or better able to fit in
with the crowd, find that drinking
does not make them glamorous. .
. or even better liked. If you live in
an average American community,
it Ts likely that alcoholic beverages
are for sale and in common use
there. In today Ts society, where
drinking is accepted, every young
person growing to adulthood is
faced with a decision whether or
not to follow the social custom of
drinking alcoholic
beverages.Those who choose not
to drink at all should not feel any
obligation to conform to the pres-
sure of others. Those who choose to
drink should be aware that there
are dangers involved in the use of
alcoholic beverages. One of these
dangers is alcoholism "a disease
that develops insidiously and pro-
gressively in about 1 out of every
15 persons who drink alcoholic
beverages. The signposts or symp- "
toms are clearly identifiable and a
well-informed person can detect
the kind of drinking that may be
leading to alcoholism. People who
develop alcoholism do so because
they use alcohol for reasons which
are different from those of most
persons who drink. In place of an
occasional drink for sociability and
conviviality, they drink because
alcoho] makes them feel less inad-
equate, inferior and insecure. Be-
ing a depressant, (a drug) alcohol
pushes off the insecure feelings
and blurs anxieties. So...

Gentlemen Vs.
Ladies
A gentleman is a courteous,
gracious man with a strong sense
of honor. A lady is a woman who is
polite, refined, and _ well-
mannered.Today, the world needs
more ladies and gentlemen. Please
mothers and fathers, let your chil-
dren see these qualities,
attributes,characteristics in you,
for omore is caught than taught ?.
Ladies still respect men who
open doors, walk on the curb side,
have table manners, allow them to
precede them through doors, as-
sist older or feeble ladies upsteps,
take off caps and hats when intro-
* duced, rise if seated to shake hands,
instead of saying oexcuse me for
not standing ?, is careful about his
language, and who sneezes or

ight?
Good manners are never obso-
lete. These reality judge a gentle-
man or a lady.
As Jesse Jackson says, oAny man
can get a baby, but it takes a real
father to rear him ?. Would your
son nominate you as his role model?
Would you be deserving if he
should?

QUESTION: Why are some
people afraid to take an unpopular
stand?
ANSWER: At least four signifi-
cant reasons usually surface:
1. They fear they will lose popu-
larity. What oOthers ? think domi-
nates their decision-making. They
fear relationships will be affected
" they may lose friends. Other

NAACPled civil rights struggle from lynching to subtle racism
By Katrina Huffman
Special to the AmNews
During the early 1900 Ts and be-
fore, lynch mobs prevailed and
attempted to exterminate the race
by killing Black males. There was
no legal protection for the Black
man, woman and child. The Su-
preme Court turned a deaf ear to
their cries for justice.
It willingly embraced amnesia
and ignored its duty to uphold the
Constitution, especially the 14th
Amendment (which guarantees all
citizens equal protection under the
law) and the 15th Amendment
(guaranteeing American citizens
the right to vote.) Black children
were being deprived of a decent
education, and no one seemed to
care.
In 1909 a concerned interracial
group of 60 people, including W. E.
B. Dubois, breathed life into an
organization aimed at bettering
the plight of Blacks in America
called the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP). This organiza-
tion changed society as we knew
it.
With a strong legal department,
a thriving publicity bureau and a
powerful political and civil rights
bureau, the NAACP has been suc-
cessful in making significant
changes in education, litigation
and legislation.
It is directly responsible for co-
ercing Congress to enact a series
of laws making discrimination in
public facilities, employment, edu-
cation, legislation and housing il-
legal.
No one can look at the nation Ts
integrated public school system
without remembering the 1954
Legal Defense Fund giant
Thurgood Marshall waging war
on the Board of Education of To-
peka, Kansas on behalf of 9-year-
old Linda Brown.
In this case, Brown vs. Board of
Education, the Supreme Court
deemed discrimination in educa-
tion unconstitutional, ruling that
state public schools desegregate
owith all deliberate speed. ? This
case overruled the 1896 oseparate
butequal ? Plessy v. Ferguson case.
The NAACP also published The
Crisis, a magazine that not only
publicized every injustice done to
Blacks but offered solutions. It was
a vehicle by which progressive and
aggressive ideas were spread
throughout the Black community,
causing its readership to swell up
with a passion for change and join
in the NAACP Ts fight for freedom.
Since its inception, members of
the NAACP have been concerned
with people of color worldwide. At
the 1978 convention, held in Cin-
cinnati, over 2,000 delegates took
a strong stand against the war in
Southeast Asia and called for an
immediate withdrawal of Ameri-
can troops.
As part of their mission, they
have spearheaded pan-african
movements worldwide. DuBois
used The Crisis as a platform to
inform Negroes about Africa and
her plight. He also showed how
the U.S. and Britain colonized her.
In the late T70s, under the lead-
ership of their last executive direc-
tor, Benjamin Hooks, the NAACP
challenged Capitol Hill to take an
aggressive stance on its policies
toward African nations.
Because of numerous victories
achieved by this 85-year-old orga-
nization, Blacks dine at any lunch
counter and restaurant they
choose; they no longer have to drink
from rusty water fountains desig-
nated by oJim Crow ? and lynching
asentertainmentis nolonger fash-
ionable.
Doors have opened for Blacks to
become blue-collar and white-col-
lar workers. There is not one uni-
versity or college in this countries
whose population is not at least
one percent Black. By exercising
the right to vote and serving on
juries, African-Americans are ex-
panding their political power.
The recent headlines concern-
ing the NAACP Ts present execu-
tive director, Benjamin Chavis,
should not overshadow the
organization Ts historical achieve-
ments, nor should it snowball the
work he has done in the short time
he Ts been there.
His courage to include leaders of
all factions of the Black commu-
nity in the African-American Lead-
ership Summit is noteworthy and
so is his role in helping to diffuse
the Black rage which sparked the
Los Angeles riots.
Chavis spent 10 years in prison
for standing up for Civil Rights.
Great minds such as Roy Wilkins
and Walter White help to build the
strong foundation the organiza-
tion continues to build on today.
In its struggle to better the lives
of Blacks in this country they offer
job referrals, tutorials and day care
services. They also sponsor semi-
nars and provide scholarships and
training for young Black lawyers.
The NAACP Housing Corp. con-
tinues to assist in the develop-
ment of low and moderate income
housing for families.
And the struggle against insidi-
ous forms of racism in every area
of American life is the work of the
NAACP. It changes as the struggle
changes.

Frazier fights for equal justice
(As promised under the oAmeri-
can Way ?)
The Justice System in this coun-
try is built, supposedly, upon the
premise that ALL men are pre-
sumed innocent until proven
guilty. However, in many instances
the absolute reverse of this prin-
ciple seems to prevail. Guilt is
readily assumed, making one Ts
innocence even more difficult to
establish. Then, to complicate this
dilemna even further, consider the
odouble standard ? that exists and
is applied at the discretion of those
persons in positions of authority.
That is the system that uses one
standard to govern brothers and a
different standard to govern
others.Such is the plight of Attor-
ney Reginald Frazier, who has been
- disciplined by the N. C. State Bar
for allegedly embezzling or misuse
of clients T monies., Charges based
on hearsay evidence. Frazier, while
not the only attorney to be scruti-
nized in this manner, finds how-
ever that the standard applied in
other situations is not the same
standard that is applied to him.
Clearly, racial insensitivity and
personal feelings in this case have
abused Frazier's civil

ECU program helps children
manage cronic abdominal pain
GREENVILLE "On the eve of a
major academic exam, most of us
have experienced that sudden,
nagging stomach pain that myste-
riously disappears when we an-
swer the last question. That Ts not
uncommon, says Dr. Allan
Rosenberg, pediatric gastroenter-
ologist with the Department of
Pediatrics at the ECU School of
Medicine.
However, 15 percent of school-
age children suffer from recurrent
abdominal pain with such fre-
quency that they miss an average
of 26 days of school each year.
oWe are talking about a tremen-
dous number of people, ? says
Rosenberg. oA lot of times these
children are stigmatized because
others think they are ~faking T the
pain or are told the pain is ~in their
heads. T
oThis pain is real, ? Rosenberg
adds. oHowever, just because it is
real pain and thereis a real reason
for it, there is no real medicine for
1%."
The pain these children endure
stems from stress and cannot be
treated with medication or sur-
gery. When involuntary muscles
such as those in the intestine are
working correctly, they contract
and relax in a synchronized man-
ner. Stress can cause these muscles
to get out of sync, causing pain.
Antidepressants, antispasmodics
and other drugs are not effective,
so doctors are turning to self-help
techniques to teach these children
to recognize muscle tension
brought on by stress that would
lead topain.These proven pain
management techniques are part
of a special program at the East

temperature sensor is also placed
on one finger and children are
shown visually and audibly how
stress can lower the body's tem-
perature and how relaxation can
raise the temperature and pro-
duce a warm feeling in the body.
Children use relaxation tapes to
help them learn to achieve a less
stressful state of mind and
body.Once children learn: to relax
and contract arm muscles and
achieve a relaxed state, they can
use that skill to relax when faced
with a stressful situation. Many
children see positive results after
several visits, says Rosenberg. The
children can practice relaxation
away from the clinic with take-
home tapes. ?Soon they can sit
down and say to themselves, ~I am

said. oIf you do this in conjunction
with a stressful situation or when
the pain starts, you can prevent

ages of 7 and 17 are accepted into
the program only after a complete

Black leaders must coordinate our fight for Democr
The oil workers of Nigeria have
been on strike for democracy since
July 4, demanding that the mili-
tary government of General Sani
Abacha free Chief Moshood K.O.
Abiola, who won the country Ts
presidential election last year. The
military prevented Abiola from
taking office, and then charged
him with treason andarrested him
on the first anniversary of his elec-
tion. In recent weeks, the oil work-
ers (oil is Nigeria Ts largest indus-
try) have been joined by other
workers and students in bringing
the West African nation to a vir-
tual standstill .
The African continent and its
people have for centuries been the
victims of gross economic and po-
litical manipulation and destruc-
tion by Europe and America: from
slavery and colonialism, to CIA-
inspired civil wars, to U.S. and
European government support for
dictators, murderers, and thieves.
That kind of treachery continues
to this day, ofcourse, as the Clinton
administration maintains its sup-
port for rulers such as General
Abacha and Mobutu Sese Seko of
Zaire.
The Reverend Jesse Jackson Ts
visit to Nigeria has highlighted
the importance of Black leaders
speaking out against the Clinton
administration Ts policies. Rever-
end Jackson, representing the
State Department and the Clinton
administration, has delivered a
letter from President Clinton to
General Abacha calling on him to
release Chief Abiola, the demo-
cratically-elected president of Ni-
geria, and to turn power over to a
civilian government.
Reverend Jackson Ts trip has,
however, provoked controversy.
Prominent Nigerian democracy
leaders have identified Reverend
Jackson as a ofriend and collabo-
rator of the military oligarchy in
Nigeria. ? The brilliant, Nobel
Prize-winning Nigerian author
Wole Soyinka has objected to Rev-
erend Jackson Ts visit on the
grounds that General Abacha will
be able to manipulate it for his
own anti-democratic ends. And,
indeed, he has. The latest word is
that General Abacha has agreed
to release Chief Abiola, but on the
condition that he give up all claims
to the presidency.
Reverend Jackson has also
worked closely with Congressman
Ron Dellums of California, whose
wife is employed by the Washing-
ton, D.C. lobbying firm that repre-
sents the Abacha government. Mr.
Dellums has introduced a congres-
sional resolution which gives cred-
ibility to the idea of a constitu-
tional conference allowing the mili-
tary dictatorship to extend its ten-
ure and play an influential role in
any transition to democracy. While
Reverend Jackson and Represen-
tative Dellums have tried to mobi-
lize support among
Black leaders for their sympa-
thies for Abacha, Congressman
Donald Payne of Newark, New
Jersey, the Congressional Black
Caucus member most influential
on Africa policy, has made sure
that the CBC has held fast in its
backing of Chief Abiola. So strong
is Congressman Payne Ts support
of the democratic forces in Nigeria
that he was denied a visa by the
military government last week.
Reverend Jackson Ts visit to Ni-
geria, in my opinion, was mis-
guided. It is extremely dangerous
for a Black leader of his interna-
tional stature to lend any credibil-
ity whatsoever to the Abacha gov-
ernment. In Zaire, the
U.S. government has continued
its backing of the Mobutu dictator-
ship, allowing Mobutu to sabotage
the new constitution and depose
the democratically-elected prime
minister, Etienne Tshisekedi. I am
among those in this country who
have militantly supported
Tshisekedi and worked to expose
those "Black or white " who
would allow any compromise with
the Mobutu government. I appeal
to Reverend Jackson to learn from
the example of Zaire. Any legiti-
macy afforded to General Abacha
undermines the Nigerian democ-
racy movement and Chief
Abiola.Reverend Al Sharpton Ts

health care reform
living in rural communities. ?
Clayton urged leaders to include
universal coverage, a lower tobacco
tax and equitable treatment for
small business persons.
oThe proposed bill would ask for
a .45 tax on tobacco compared with
proposals that were as high as
$1.25.
oI am happy we were able to
include a reduction of the tobacco
tax by more than 50 percent com-
pared to some of the other pro-
posed increases, ? Clayton said.
Universal coverage would be
phased-in by 1999, large busi-
nesses would have until 1997 to
phase-in care and smaller ones by
1999. Subsidies are proposed for
small firms and a new Medicare
Part C program is slated for low-
income families, seasonal and part-
time workers, and the unemployed.
oAs we begin to develop a plan
for comprehensive reform, we must
be careful not to overlook the needs

This plan would reduce the defi-

planned visit to Rwanda raises
some similar concerns. The
Rwandan tragedy is, of course, of a
magnitude thatis hard to describe.
But, as ever, the U.S. government
has found a way to manipulate it
for its own political ends, namely
by allowing President Mobutu to
control the relief and military situ-
ation on the Zairean side of the
border. Mobutu is being politically
rehabilitated, at just the moment
when the anti-Mobutu democracy
movement needs the greatest
support.While Reverend
Sharpton Ts visit to Rwanda is mo-
tivated by humanitarian concerns,
the Hutu hardliners responsible
for the genocide are massed at the
Rwandan border under the pro-
tection of their old ally, Mobutu,
ready to reinvade Rwanda. I urge
Reverend Sharpton to use his visit
to challenge the Clinton adminis-
tration to fully withdraw its sup-
port for Mobutu. Reverend Jack-
son must do the same for Nigerian
democracy and challenge the U.S.
