Ms. Harper, 47, of 359 N. Rail

keeper at W.H. Robinson Elemen-

three adult children, Ms. Harper
felt she could represent all views

women and minorities.

She should not be disregarded
because she did not run, Ms.
Harper said.
oBecause I didn Tt run doesn Tt

she said. oI have attended the
meetings and IJ have kept up with
what Ts going on. ?
In fact, Jones asked her about a
year ago to run for his seatwhile
he was having health problems.
She said she felt her views would
alig~ very closely with his.
As an African American, she
said she could better represent
th~ concerns of that constituency.
oBecause he was an African
American and I am, I know that
point of view. But that is not the

woman for all people. ?
Holloman said afterward he had
no qualms about Ms. Harper serv-

FATHERS
GONE?
Father absence is becoming more
commonplace in America, with
separations, divorce rates and pre-
marital pregnancies at epidemic
levels. The traditional two-parent
family is becoming an endangered
species. Yet decades of research
support the position that the ab-
sence of fathers has a devastating
effect on children. Consider the
following: Half of all fatherless
families in America live below the
poverty line. Adolescents of father-
less families are more likely to be
sexually active and are morelikely
to commit delinquent acts. Young
adults who grow up in fatherless
families are more likely to drop
out of school, divorce and engage
in drug and alcohol abuse. The
best predictor of violent crime and
burglary in a community is the
proportion of households without
fathers. That Ts the bad news. The
good news is that when the trend
is reversed, positive results accrue
for the children and their fathers.
For example: Children with effec-
tive fathers score higher on intelli-
gence tests and are more comfort-
able in new situations. They adapt
to change more easily. A father Ts
involvement produces a more self- ,
controlled son who recognizes the
need for restraint. Four major stud-
ies of factors leading to the suc-
cessful development of children
have shown that youngsters who
have an active, participative fa-
ther demonstrate better thinking
ability, increased empathy for oth-
ers and a greater ability to rely on
their own judgment.
Women who rate high in the
ability to plan their own futures
tend to have fathers who encour-
age them, show trust in their abili-
ties and join them in endeavors.
The positive involvement of fa-
thers, perhaps more than any other
factor, is the key to stemming the

tide of poverty, crime and violence
sweeping the world. Our families
need fathers who are faithful, re-
sponsible, loving and accountable.
But where do we begin?
How about in the home? Fathers
and mothers staying together.
Fathers and mothers loving each
other. Fathers being there, and
being good fathers to their chil-
dren.
Study after study confirms that
growing up in a two-parent fam-
ily, with the father taking an ac-
tive role in his children Ts lives, is a
distinct advantage for America Ts
children. Yet those who place value
on fatherhood in today Ts cultural
climate often face sharp criticism.
The promotion of traditional
families anchored by strong fa-
thers flies in the face of much of
the value-neutral, politically cor-
rect public discourse.
The idea that fatherhood and
two-parent families are still im-
portant to society is not readily
embraced.
But to those who believe the role
of the father is vitally important to
the welfare of the family and soci-
ety, no more fundamental or criti-
cal challenge faces families today.

Vernon Robinson, a former Win-
ston-Salem State College Profes-
sor and the first African-Ameri-
can candidate nominated for State
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion, celebrated this weekend when
the North Carolina General As-
sembly passed a Charter School
Bill shortly before it adjourned
early Saturday morning. Robinson,
40 and President of the North Caro-
lina Education Reform Founda-
tion, led the three year effort to
pass Charter School legislation.
Charter schools are public
. schools that are largely free of the
red tape and bureaucracy that
plague traditional public schools.
In exchange for relief from red
tape, the teachers and other staff
at charter schools must deliver on
the level of student perforrnance
promised int he chartering docu-
ment. Failure to do so would result
in revocation of the charter and
closing the school. oPublic schools
that fail, go on and continue to
maim children, ? commented
Robinson. oCharter schools that
fail go out of business. ? Finally,
charter schools have no attendance
zone. The charter personnel must
convince parents that the program
at that school has something to
offer children.
Charter schools are funded based
onthe number of students enrolled
as if the school was a school dis-
trict. The 100 charters authorized
by the statute may by issued by
either a local school board or one of
the 16 constituent institutions of
the University of North Carolina
with final approval from the State
Board of Education.
Robinson spoke to the congrega-
tion at Bethel AME Church in
Sunday on the topic oPreparing to
the battle to a steady trumpet.
oThis is a great day in the battle to
save young black boys. In 1994,
74% of black male 5th graders
failed the end of course test. These
numbers are devastating. The
charter school bill is the first crack
in the education establishment
and creates the ability for commu-
nity based organizations to create
primary and secondary schools.
African-American reform edu-
cators have responded with ex-
citement at the prospects of set-
ting up charter schools to educate
black children. oI Tm excited and
my organization plans to submit a
charter application before the No-
vember 1 deadline, ? said Dr. Joann
Woodard, Director and Founder
ofthe Youth Enrichment Program
in Wilson. oVernon Robinson was
key in getting this charter school

Tax Credits
Basnight said the incentives
needed to be offered in all counties
to help North Carolina compete
with neighboring states, particu-
larly Virginia, which has an ag-
gressive economic development
program. The bill has the support
of economic development agencies,
businesses and the chambers of
commerce across the state.
oI hope the House will embrace

cate for the job tax credits.
Based on recommendations de-
veloped over two years of study by
the North Carolina Economic De-

critical incentives for attracting
jobs and industries to North Caro-

Twenty-one new fellows nationwide
CHICAGO " Four African-
Americans are among the twenty
new MacArthur Fellows
annoullced today by the John D
and Catherine T MacArthur Foun-
dation.
They are Louis Massiah, a docu-
mentary filmmaker and founder
and director of the Scribe Video
Center in Philadelphia, Pennsyl-
vania, Vonllie C. McLoyd, a devel-
opmental psychologist who stud-
ies the interactive influences of
race, ethnicity, and economic hard-
ship, Thylias Moss, a poet who
conjures an evocative sense of place
and community in her work, and
Anna Deavere Smith, a performer
and playwright who has created a
new form of theater.
The new MacArthur Fellows will
receive stipends ranging from
$150,000 to $375,000 over five
years, depending on the age of the
recipient. Along with their five-
year stipend, the Fellows are of-
fered health insurance. Massiah
will receive $265,000, McLoyd will
receive $280,000; Moss will receive
$265,000, Smith will receive
$280,000. The MacArthur Fellow-
ships are ono strings attached ?
awards, and recipients are free to
use the awards as they wish. The
MacArthur Foundation imposes no
reporting requirements or restric-
tions of any kind on MacArthur
Fellows.
oThe creative person is at the
heart of a society Ts capacity to im-
prove the human condition, ? said
Adele Simmons, MacArthur Foun-
dation president. oBy supporting
these Fellows, highly talented in-
dividuals working in a wide range
of fields, the Foundation means to
honor creative persons every-
where. o
Catharine R. Stimpson, director
of the MacArthur Fellows Pro-
gram, said, oThese ~reatly gifted
people are as diverse as the United
States itself However, their tal-
ents have a common thread. They
renew our hope in human possibil-
ity. ?
Until Stimpson notified them,
these four people had no idea they
were about to become MacArthur
Fellows. Individuals cannot apply
for MacArthur Fellowships. In-
stead, names are proposed to the
Foundation by a group of 125 or
more designated nominators in a
variety of professions and areas of
the country. They serve anony-
mously for one year. Their nomi-
nations are reviewed by a twelve-
member selection committee,
which meets eight times a year.
Final approval for MacArthur Fel-
lowships comes from the
Foundation Ts Board of Directors.
There is no annual quota of Fel-
lows and no predetermined time
for naming them.
Including today Ts group, a total
of 479 Fellows, including 54 Afn-
can-Americans, have been named
since the program began in 1981.
They have ranged in age from 18
to 82. As of today Ts date the num-
ber of active Fellows " individu-
als currently receiving fellowship
support " is 157. In the fifteen
years since the program began,
the Foundation has invested over
$150 million in the Fellows Pro-
gram.

munity cultural worker who pro-

he founded and directs. Scribe both

ganizations address issues of so-
cial concern throu~h a creative
use of video. Scribe has been a key
site for community trainingin film
production in the United States.

mationneeded forthedevelopment ,
of effective prevention and inter-
vention programs for these Afri-

jures an evocative sense of place
and community in her work, ar-
ticulating the subtle rhythms of

ened reality. Moss Ts poetry com-
bines the African-American con-
cept of owitnessing ? with a variety
of Western poetic traditions. She
draws on her experiences and eth-
nic history, combining a gift for
narrative and observation that
captures the flavor of community
interactions and the impact of pub-
lic life on private life. Her work
shows a special talent forlanguage,
imagery, and syntactical music.

from the University of New Hamp-
shire. (Born February 27, 1954,
Cleveland, Ohio; resides, Ann Ar-
bor, Michigan).
Anna Deavere Smith is a per-
former and playwright who has
created a new form of theater " a
blend of theatrical art, social com-
mentary, journalism and intimate
reverie. Her pieces are compelling
and sophisticated views of racial
and class conflict. For these pieces,
she interviews a series of people
connected to a common event or
theme. She then weaves brief
monologues together, recreating
these people in their own words.
Her work has advanced perfor-
mance theory and introduced a
new way for the theater to reflect,
and ref ect upon, society. Smith Ts
work strives to create civic dis-
course about American identity
and frequently deals with contem-
porary social problems. One of
Smith Ts skills lies in creating works

BUSINESSMEN, WHY IS IT?
A man wakes up in the morning after sleeping under an "advertised"
blanket, in an "advertised" bed, on an "advertised" mattress, between
two" advertised" sheets. He pulls offhis "advertised" pajamas, and takes
abath in his "advertised" tub. He washes with "advertised" soap, shaves
with an "advertised" razor, uses "advertised" shaving lotion, and combs
his hair with an "advertised" comb. He puts on "advertised" clothes, sits
down to a breakfast of "advertised" coffee, and eats "advertised" eggs,
and brushes his teeth with "advertised" toothpaste. He puts on an
"advertised" hat, starts his "advertised" car with an "advertised"
battery and rides to work on "advertised" tires. He sits down to his
"advertised" telephone, and write with an "advertised" pen. Then he
refuses to "advertise", he says "advertising doesn't pay." But when his
business fails, finally HE "advertises" BUSINESS FOR SALE.
