What You See Is, ls What You Get, What You Read Is What You Know & Save — Eastern North Carolina’s Minority Voice GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 27834 THURSDAY MARCH 31, 1988 oe KALENA EVERETT, MISS NATIONAL TEENAGER The Black Vote In the view of these elders, it is blatant self-interest that draws thig new black professional class to the Republican party in the 1980's. The likelihood of a change in this picture is slight. Class stratification among blacks in- creased dramatically between 1970 and 1985. And the latest polls indicate that the gulf between the black underclass and middle class continues to grow. The ultimate irony may lie in conservative Republicans’ failure to realize that the pro- grams are determined to abolish- those aiding qualified minorities- are what has created the pool of more fortunate black voters Chronicle Staft Writer T. Williard Fair speaks "Our problem is values, not racism” first fired, But we ain't never been as bad. By ROBIN BARKSDALE off as we are now. The solution is that we among whom they are prospec- ting. Thornton has followed the trend. ‘I’m not sure the buppies are very concerned with the social issues. But that happened across the board in 1984. What’s probably reached them is our pro-business attitude.” U.S, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-CA) confirms that ‘“‘Young Democrats have bought the economic part of the Reagan package.”’ Bradley believes their own ex- perience has given them a perspective entirely different from that of their parents, who “were struggling with basic kinds of civil rights and attached themselves to a more liberal (Continued on page 9) save their community. T. Williard Fair came home last Satur- day night and he came with a powerful message for Afro-Americans in Winston- Salem: That only a spiritual rebirth can Fair, who pulled no punches during his keynote address at the NAACP Free- dom Fund Banquet, said that a lack of val- ues is Causing much of the trouble in Afro-American communities. That com- bined with the devastating effects of racism, Fair said, have caused Afro- Americans to lose touch with the force that guided their enslaved ancestors. - "We're the only group of people who continue to make progress but still remain behind," said Fair, the director of the Urban League of Greater Miami. "That has nothing to do with racism, It has to do with values -- ours. As we shout for joy, remember the one thing missing in 1988 that was present in 1716, is that there was a God we respected. Black people have always been poor and we've always been the last hired and the Everett has been selected finalist in Miss NC Teen-ager Pageant Miss Kalena Everett, age 16, daughter of Mrs. Addie Everett from Winterville, has been selected to be a State Finalist in the 17th Annual Miss North Carolina Teen-ager Pageant to be held in Raleigh on April 1, 2, & 3 at the Holiday Inn North and Raleigh Memorial Auditorium.

The Greenville Community Shelter to provide basic needs for the homeless The Greenville Community Shelter, located in the multipur- pose building at the old Agnes Fullilove School, opened January 11 of this year. The primary goal of this church supported program is to provide shelter and other basic needs to the homeless of our community. The shelter, staffed totally with volunteers, opens its doors each night at 9:00 p.m. During the next hour people of all description (black, white, young, old, male and female) enter seeking a dry, secure place to lay their head for the night. When they enter they are given a mattress and bed- ding. A local restaurant provides soup each night for the shelter’s guest. Shower facilities are available as well as an opportuni- ty to obtain adequate clothing. In the morning the two volunteers who have spent the night awaken first place in state contest Brown finishes the guest and provide coffee and donuts for breakfast before clos- ing the shelter at 7:00 a.m. Currently, the number of peo- ple the shelter serves averages about 22 each night. Nearly 75 people have been seved at the Greenville Community shelter ‘since tts openitig:” Over thirty local churches and organizations have provided volunteers and other support for the operation of the shelter. Only a few of these are a part of the black communi- ty of our city. Looking ahead there are some exciting things happening at the shelter. Working with Communi- ty Action, job counseling will be made more readily available to those who stay at the shelter. Working with Mrs. Mary Outer- bridge of Pitt Community Col- lege, education counseling as well as some basic education classes will also be available on site at the shelter. The volunteer staff of the shelter will also soon receive training in how to help the homeless obtain help from other helping agencies such as the Department of Social Services Security Administration. As this article suggests there are many good things happening at the Greenville Commmunity Shelter but your help is needed. The Greenville Community Shelter was established and designed to be a community wide project. This means there is a place for everyone in our com- munity in helping the homeless and the helpless. The shelter especially needs more black leadership and participation. The shelter is managed by an executive committee which gains their direction from a Board of Directors made up of represen- tatives from all the churches that support the shelter with volunteers, money, or supplies. Here is an excellent opportunity for the churches in our communi- ty to learn how to work more closely together.

MONTY FRIZZELL, TEACHER, SOCIAL STUDIES Mayor Ed Carter spoke to the Wellcome Middle School student body on March 14 about his early childhood, stressing education. Although he was poor, he finish- ed high school as valedictorian. Receiving a scholarship to Virginia State College, Petersburg, he was awarded a B.S. Degree with a major in physics. He then served 81/ years , in the army, receiving an honorable discharge in 1971. Then he applied for a job with Bur- roughs Wellcome. He has been promoted many times. Mayor Carter has served on the City Council and the Board of Education. The point he wanted to get across to us was the value of an education. He wanted students to be determined and to perserve in order to be sucessful in life. Additionally, he wanted us to try to improve in our studies, amking better grades, and be aware that nothing but our best will lead to a good education. MRS. MAYE WELCOMES NEWS FOR THE PAPER!! TELEPHONE 830-0567 HOW TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC BY BEATRICE MAYE Eloquence is a gift not many are born with. Yet all of us can learn to speak with sincerity, simplicity and directness. At some moment in our lives, most of us are called upon to make a speech, at a town meeting or community function, a graduation exercise or even a family gathering. Yet, few of us do it well. Either we get up and talk unprepared, stumbling over- words, or we overtalk, boring our audience. All of us know that we could have done better, but we ‘just aren’t much at public speaking.”’ The are, however, simple steps we can take to bolster this impor- tant means of communication. Planning is probably the most important. We may have a grating or squeaky voice, our choice of words and grammar may not be exactly right; but if we give serious thought to our speech and build it properly, we'll be successful. The basics of speechmaking are simple. Know your audience and what role you will play. Get a theme. Research it. Make notes if you must. But do it using key words that will bring entire sentences to mind. Practice before a mirror. Make the speech before your family, if possible, and ask for their criticism. And remember, the next time you’re upon to speak in public: Have humor, be sincere, be brief, be seated IN THE YEAR 2000, 12 YEARS FROM NOW, LIFE EXPEC- TANCY FOR BLACKS: BY BEATRICE MAYE Men . . . 68.5Women .. . 77.6 Problems: Threats to the Family: s Unemployment (Socioeconomic Pressure) 2.

Closer family ties TAKE TIME TO LAUGH... BY BEATRICE MAYE ‘“‘A good laugh is more than mere fun—it’s healthy!”’ Remember: 1. Mix with people who laugh 2. Practice the art of laughing 3. Keep a laughter file 4. Make time for laughter 5. Laugh when you need it most You aren’t here for a spell, so get a few laughs.—Will Rogers ALCOHOL BY BEATRICE MAYE Alcohol is America’s most prevalent drug, says Dr. Lewis Goldfrank, Director of Emergen- cy Medical Services at New York City’s Bellevue Hospital Center. ‘‘There are over 10 million adult alcoholics in America.”’ NATURAL MENOPAUSE BY BEATRICE MAYE Natural menopause occurs when menstruation ceases and ovaries no longer produce eggs. The median age for menopause is 51.4 years, which means that women can expect to live one third of their lives after this “change of life.”’ EXCUSES BY BEATRICE MAYE Excuses help people feel good about themselves. ADVANTAGE BY BEATRICE MAYE ‘“‘Nobody can take advantage of you without your permission.” “Serving Our Dis trict Well” RE-ELECT SENATOR TOM TAFT STATE SENATE Democrat FINANCE OFFICER BY BEATRICE MAYE No patient should attempt to leave the hospital until he is strong enough to face the finance officer. LOWER BACK PAIN BY BEATRICE MAYE The reason women suffer from lower back pain if obvious: pot bellies. Making love with an out- of-shape, overweight man can and does cause an awful lot of problems. (Ann © Lander’s Column) STRIKING/HITTING WOMEN _ BY BEATRICE MAYE Striking/hitting any woman is a cheap shot. It’s cowardly. If I could change the world, one of the first things I would do is get rid of the creeps and cowards who do it any way. From the ‘News and Observer’, Wednesday, February 17, 1988. HELPING OUT BY BEATRICE MAYE For people who bring food to the family of a deceased person, bring food on paper plates, aluminum plates or any disposable dish. The family won’t have to worry about returning the dishes. If you do put the food in a dish, be sure to write your name on it clearly. Don’t use your best dishes! Family and friends are nervous enough without worrying about breaking a special dish. TRACKS BY BEATRICE MAYE ‘People don’t leave tracks.’”’— Vice president, George Bush OUNG MEN BY BEATRICE MAYE ““Young men, you are not a man because you make a baby. You are a man if you raise that baby, provide for that baby, and young woman, young men cannot make babies by themselves.’’— Jesse Jackson THE BLACK CHURCH BY BEATRICE MAYE ‘“‘The Black church is the most efficient way to reach the people. There are more of them there at any given time than anywhere else,” said Bishop Adams, Chair- man of the Congress of National Black churches. MARRIED WOMEN BY BEATRICE MAYE ‘Married women do not cheat. Married men do cheat.’’ Oprah Winfrey Show, February 23, 1988 GOOD NUTRITION BY BEATRICE MAYE - Good nutrition, well-chosen dietary supplements, exercise, stresscontrol—these and other things can be extremely impor- tant in both maintaining health and fighting disease. GROWN-UPS BY BEATRICE MAYE It takes a real grown-up to be a good parent. And some men never really grow up. MARRIAGE RISKS BY BEATRICE MAYE Some men are not good mar- riage risks. They come from broken homes. Real fathers don’t want their children to do the same. CHILDREN BY BEATRICE MAYE You can leave a bad marriage, a bad job and a city where the sun never shines. But children are forever. REAL FATHERS BY BEATRICE MAYE Real fathers miss the ‘“‘Good- night Daddy.” FOLLOWING THE CROWD BY BEATRICE MAYE There’s nothing inherently wrong about following the crowd if we pick the right crowd. Con- formation to the world is where the danger lies, for the world is heartless and unfaithful to its friends. ‘‘Be not conformed to the world,” Jesus said, ‘‘but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds.” BABY PLAY PENS BY BEATRICE MAYE Let’s caution parents abaut play pens. If the play pen is put together with screws, be sure to tighten each one before and after every use. If one gets loose and baby stands on the side and shakes the slats, eventually: a screw may fall out. Baby may see it and put it in his/her mouth even swallow it. A little effort may well be worth a precious life. SMOKE BY BEATRICE MAYE If you smoke, you’re not likely to lose hearing when you are ex- posed to loud noises. MEATS BY BEATRICE MAYE Pick low-fat meats for broiling.

Williard this country, Fair said that there were "5,000 people who looked ~olike me" that were explorers and _| Settlers before being enslaved by “Colonists. He charted the progres- sion of Afro-Americans through the Civil Rights Movement, which he remembered as a time when _., We marched wherever they would | BlVe us a permit to march, Then we said, ‘Marching ain't enough.’ We need to sing while we march. We sang and we shouted and we shout- ed while we marched and they still ~treated us like niggers. ...then we aid, 'No more. We're going to burn : this country down.’ All over the United States we burned. We burned in Watts, we burned in Chicago, we bumed in Washing- ton. We started a little fire in Win- ,ston-Salem." Fair said that a retrospective Often serves as a blueprint for the present and the future. The racism of the past, he said, is not dead, but that, in light of the past, it must not be tolerated. Driving his point “Home, Fair referred to an article in a recent issue of the Winston- Salem Chronicle which reported the activities of a local white man - who had been charged with mak- _.ing repeated threats against his Afro-American neighbors. "I say to you that while racism does exist, we will not tolerate it. I say to Eugene Campbell, let me -move into your house and let me think that Mr. McHone is going to hold me hostage because I don't look like him,” said Fair, a Twin z City native. "I will do all the things most white men fear coming from me. I say to you, I ain't no nigger and, in 1988, you will not treat me like one. I say to you that while racism is not dead, if it raises its ugly head around me, it will be." Fair said that many of the problems within the Afro-Ameri- can community are caused by the failure of the residents to monitor activities in their own communi- ties. He said that the breakup of Afro-American families, poverty and unemployment are only symp- toms of the true culprit of the dis- proportionate crime rate in Afro- American communities. Fair said that in Miami, a group of citizens united and attended the trial of a known drug dealer to give testimo- ny against him and to encourage the judge in the case to exercise the maximum sentence possible. "Drugs are in our communities not because they put them there but because we let them stay," Fair said. "Until we rise up and say to the drug dealers, who look like us and not like them, that we're not going to tolerate it anymore, they will stay there. When we take the leadership in cleaning up our own communities, we can expect others to." Scoffing at Afro-Americans’ dependence on white America for liberation, Fair said that "people who look like me" must begin to rely upon one another for help. He said that as Afro-Americans pre- pare to move forward they must FT ge Ere eR Se aD eg ey ee |. meat... ' eo: " . ~“ XK — vy tug : eet 7 +? Pir ee) eg TT tT.

"As long as you believe that white people who put you in this mess can get you out, you'll still be in this mess when I come to sce you again,” said Fair.,"The time for us to separate ourselves from any- one except those who can help us has come." But Fair cautioned against expecting an Afro-American entrepreneurial class to blossom overnight. Rather, he said, it will take time for young Afro-Ameri- cans to learn to think in terms of entrepreneurship just as they have had to take time to learn other things. Fair concluded his address to the banquet audience with a glance to the future waming Afro-Amen- can males that "you are in trouble and unless you are prepared to do something about it, there's not going to be any need for you by the next century." Fair said he based that obser- vation on the fact that by 1999, 72 percent of all Afro-American households will be headed by females, leaving only 28 percent of the male-headed households intact. He noted also his concern that in his own community it is not unusu- al for a young Afro-American boy to complete a full day of activity without ever coming in contact with a resnonsible Afro-American 20th Century Club 41st.

"A litle black boy can get up in the morning and see only his mother, get on the bus, which, because of affirmative action pro- grams, probably has a female driv- er, attend classes with female teachers and go to lunch where the cooks and servers are female and then come home again to a house headed by a female,” he said. "He can go from kindergarten to high school and never see a responsible black male and then it's the wrong black male. Black men have got to understand that our roles and responsibilities have got to change. Part of our responsibility is to look at what's happening to little black boys.” Part of the Afro-American agenda for the future, Fair said, also must include a political agen- da that will allow them to "have access" to political candidates. That access, he said, can only be gained by contributing financially to the candidates of their choice. But all roads to future progress for Afro-Americans, Fair said, lead in one direction. "There is no problem that you've got that you cannot resolve. If we want to make some real progress, it is left up to us," he said. "Progress that is going to be made by us is based on our ability to trust, work with and cooperate with each other. There is no prob- lem that black Winston-Salem has that it cannot solve. Your destiny is in your hands."

The same amount that coun- try’s drug traffickers clear in co- caine sales. During that same time, the U.S. sent a measly $11.5 million in foreign aid. Who do you think pulls more weight? When judges send the smugglers to jail, they respond by shooting Rigi the judges. More than 20 to date. And more than a hundred cops. Mexico, another major offender, is the largest exporter of heroin and marijuana to the U.S. Investigators also believe that somewhere between 40% and 75% of Latin America’s cocaine passes through Mexico before entering the U.S.In * Mexico, says one drug expert, “you could countthe number = >; of corruption-free law enforcement officers on two hands.” —:! What worries many officials trying to put together a co- herent anti-drug foreign policy is the prospect that well- meaning anti-drug measures may turn out to be counter- productive. What about cutting off foreign aid to major drug-supplying countries? Will they stiffen their. resolve= or sign themselves over to the drug kings outright? Even interdiction is trickier than it looks. A recent study by the Rand Corp. suggests that when the feds seize drugs, the supply goes down—while the demand remains con- stant. That pushes the price up, giving the smugglers a greater incentive to work harder and smarter. N: MATTER HOW WELL THE U.S. manages to con- trol the drug smugglers, it won’t be good enough. Ac- cording to Robert Stutman, special agent-in-charge of the DEA’s New York office, you could get enough opium to supply all of the heroin addicts in the entire U.S. from 10 square miles of poppies. Drying up the supply side completely, then, is an impossi- ble task. In the end, the real solutions to the U.S. drug prob- lem must come on the demand side. But without a coher- ent, generously funded attack on supply, demand will stay <<, high. Leading to more addicts. And more dead cops. bY What works? The answers aren't simple. But there are |. two things to remember. l Make ’em suffer. Drug smuggling isn’t a crime of pas- e sion. It’s a cold-blooded business run by cold-blooded businessmen. Send them to jail. Seize their assets. Eventu- ally a lot of them will take up another line of work. 2 Save the sermons. When countries try to cooperate, ¢ cut the finger-wagging. Save the sermons—and the , sanctions—for the ones that laugh off the drug war. Drop the diplomatic hammer on Bolivia. Mexico. The Bahamas. The U.S. has a moral obligation to try to reduce the de- mand for drugs nationwide. But it also has a moral obliga- tion to try to cut off the supply of dope at the source. The lives of the children depend on it.

Even so, he is frustrated. He is frustrated because he has never had a re- match with Sugar Ray Leonard or Marvelous Mar: vin Hagler, the only people to beat him At a news coriference yesterday in Manhattar the 29-year-old Hearns announced his ups WBC middleweight title defense against (Blade) Barkley (24-4 with 14 knockouts) on June 6 in Las Vegas. He talked briefly about Barkley knowledging the veteran from the Bronx had great left hook.’ But it was clear Hearns, who 46-2 within 39 knockouts, would like to Hagler or, preferably, Leonard In a national publication recentl; tled Hearns’ four world championships. “HH fourth title,” Leonard said, ‘‘but let’s be honest didn’t fight [anvbody]. If that makes him feel bigger than me and Hayler, fine. He’s the onl lieves it.” Said Hearns: guys who weren't even rated comers ‘I don't see how Ray can under rate me. Look at the people he fought. He fought I’ve taken on al! be higntiy y one who de } ‘Why won’t he fight me? Why wasn’t he my [oppo nent] for my fourth title instead of Juan Roldan?’ Hearns knocked out Roldan in 2:01 of the fourt} round for the vacant WBC middleweight title on Oct “7 29, 1987. ‘“There’s nothing left for me to prove,”’ he said. ‘History has been made.”’ But Hearns still has to prove something to him self. The losses to Leonard and Hagler gnaw at him In 1981, he outjabbed Leonard until Leonard un- et corked a smashing hook that sent Hearns reeling into t the ropes. Hearns was ahead on all cards when refer- up ee Davey Pearl stopped the fight at 1:45 of the 14th He: round. Four years later, Hagler stopped Hearns in the third round. ‘‘T want these guys again,’ Hearns said yesterday “It’s a burning feeling inside, almost a hate-type said thing. I don’t like to feel that way, but I want to do unt terrible things to them Blacks,others respond By CAROLYN S. CARLSON Associated Press Writer ATLANTA -- Black Roman Catholics came of age with the appointment of Bishop Eugene A. Marino as Atlanta's archbishop, according to some of his fellow bishops, his new parishioners and other black religious Icaders. "It's a wemendous blessing for the people of Atlanta and for the entire American church, since he becomes the first black archbishop in the history of our church,” said Bishop Carl Fisher of Los Ange- les, a fellow native of Biloxi, Miss., who as a youth attended Marino's first mass as a newly ordained priest. Fisher is the auxil- iary bishop in charge of the San Pedro region. "He is a real sign of the true coming of age of black Catholics today," the 42-year-old Fisher said ‘Aare ° The “M”’ Voice JIM ROUSE Publisher Georgia Rouse Business Manager ABDUL JAMES ROUSE lil Co-Publisher WILLIAM T.

This can be used as’a match for the HUD renovation grant and we therefore do not expect any addi- tional local funds beyond our or- inginal investment in the property. 2. Operational Costs. A budget is in the process of being prepared, but preliminary estimates indicate that an annual cost of $50,000 to operate this pro- gram. This will include a salary of staff member, a live in caretaker, fringe benefits, utilities, equipment, and maintenance. The HUD grant will provide $25,000 or 50 percent of this cost and the remaining $25,000 will have to be raised locally. Of this we can identify $8,000 per year from client rental fees plus agen- cy support of client rents. That leaves a total of $17,000 which must be raised locally as mat- ching money. It is for this sum that we are now in the process of fund raising. FACILITY DESCRIPTION In October of 1987 the Center bought a property previously owned by the school board and used as a elementary school. This property is 96,000 square feet of land representing an entire city block, on which stands two buildings. The larger building was a former school classroom building and is of two floors, each being 7,000 square feet in size. The smaller building is a school cafeteria/activity building and is 6,000 square feet in size. The overnight shelter is currently located in the activity building, and it is proposed that the tran- sitional housing program be located in the larger classroom building. In this building there are 13 large classrooms, each between 700 and 800 square feet in size. We propose to utilize eight of these rooms, dividing each to create two small apartments. — Each apartment will have a bathroom and toilet, a small kit- chen area, and a single sitting room/bedroom. The program will be located on the upper floor and part of the lower floor of the building and will be handicap ac- cessible. It is anticipated that a single homeless individual will occupy each apartment, but they may also be utilized by couples when necessary. In addition, THE GREENVILLE COM- MUNITY LIFE CENTER The Center was formed in 1987 for the purpose of developing resources for the homeless. Since its formation, the Center has become incorporated as a non- profit organization and applied for tax exempt status. The Center was able to purchase the current property from the past owners in October of 1987 and is currently paying off a short-term debt that was incurred in the purchase. Following purchase the Center supported the development of a second organization, the “‘Green- ville Community Shelter Incor- porated’, headed by two members of the Center’s Board, Rev. Sam Loy and Rev. Dan Nug- gle. With the support and Shelter Board obtained financial backing from many churches, other organizations and in- dividuals, as well as an emergen- cy shelter grant. With these funds the activity building was renovated and opened in January of 1988 as an emergency over- night shelter. A large number of churches and civic clubs have volunteered to provide night time staffing, and currently groups have sign- ed up for four months of coverage. There are two volunteers who sleep at the Center every night, a total of ap- proximately 200 individuals thus far. This commitment is in- dicative of the breath and depth of support that the program has received from all sections of the Based on this degree of sup- port, the Center now proposes to go the next step in this program for the homeless and provide a more long term housing option for those who have the potential for becoming independent. BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Center is governed by a Board of Directors composed of the following individuals: 1. David Ames, Chairman of the Board; Physician, Medical Director of the Pitt County Com- munity Mental Health Center. 2. Dennison Garrett, Jr., Vice- Chairman; Assistant Vice- President for Guest Relations, Pitt County Memorial Hospital. 3. Joseph Chalovich, Treasurer; Biochemist, Assistant some of the rooms willhaveinter- assitance of the Center, the community. Professor in the Department of connecting doors so that they may be utilized by families when _ Ce needed. There wil! not be any — central cooking and eating facili- ty but rather each resident will have his own cooking area and be responsible for their own food preparation. The one apartment will be reserved for a live in caretaker, and one will be reserv- ed as a common room office area. The building has been thoroughly inspected by a builder and realtor, and found to be in good condition and well suited for aa these purposes. With the planned ok repairs and rehabilitation it will provide a satisfactory housing resource at a very low cost. It is anticipated that the re- maining space not utilized for transitional housing, will be put =e to use in some other program for the rehabilitation and care of a homeless people. tiorseorecgts t7 perreticgs: SHELTER EMERGENCY OVERNIGHT : = [All-Season Radial <3 | 60,000 MILE x | Free Road Hazard Warr.

Dansey speaks to Ayden Rotary Club recently © Bill Dansey, candidate for: the State Ninth Senatorial District and a member of the East Carolina University of Trustees, told the Ayden Rotary Club that our educational leaders need to realize, as well as: the general public, that we no longer compete within our state system or a national system but, our students now have to compete with students around the world. Educational standards need tobe drastically improved, not only in our primary, elementary, secon- dary levels and higher education but in our pre-school programs. Dansey said he was glad to see that the dollars have been com- mitted through the basic educa- tidn’ plan but he does not agree with the manner in which they are being spent. He said too many dollars are allocated to ad- ministration and not enough for the pre-school program. Dansey indicated that by the year 2000, 30% of our population will ‘be minorities and by that same date 50% of our entry level jobs will re- quire a college education. We will have somewhat of a dilema on our hands unless we act quickly and make some hard and fast decisions to provide a foundation for all our students. ; Dansey indicated one way to do that is to have an incentive pro- gram in order to make sure that the part of our population that has not received at least a high school education are encouraged to do so and that their children are enlightened as to the need for proper education in order to be able to enjoy the good life as'the American citizenry has come to know. " Dansey also indicated that we have a lack of male role models in our schools and that is primari- ly brought about due to the salary structure. He indicated the thought that entry level teaching jobs ought to be at $22,000 per year and a 12 month contratt; with the other two additional months being used for up-dating teacher certification and teacher knowledge, as well as par- ticipating in summer school pro- grams for the students who do rot achieve the necessary academic levels during the regular academic year. At the same time, Dansey in- dicated that in comparison ‘to other nations with which we com- pete in the world economy, our school year is far too short. Our school year runs an average of 187 days and the Japanese spend 240 days in the classroom. Dansey feels it would be beneficial for our students ‘to start spending more days in the Classroom; especially if we went to a 12 month contract for all our teaching professionals. Dansey indicated that there: is no easy solution and that we need to start treating the results of the problem. We have a tendency :to take a bandaid approach to real difficult problems and we needito i 7 { | | ‘ ' ithout advertising a terrible thing happens . . . | NOTHING!!! | « The Black Vote : political persuasion. The younger people take for granted that the fivil rights are there, and I think rightly so. Now they are in- terested in taking advantage of _ those civil rights like the rest of America. They are slowly putting economic rights on the front _ burner, because they assume the civil rights battle has been won.” . , The forget-the-past attitude of ,new-minted black professionals is, by their critics’ reckoning, shelping to cut the cable of the bridge they themselves so recent- _4y crossed. Those critics com- plain that this new middle class, having won some concrete and _ hard-fought personal battles, is mistakenly assuming that it has _won the war. “In the last six years there has . been a ‘me-first’ attitude,’’con- cedes Thornton, who speaks as part of that younger generation. “But I see a change, at least among my peers. There might be a sort of guilty feeling developing in this country among young :professionals-a feeling that says ‘Yes, I did these things that were selfish last year, but this year I should do something new. On the - other hand, how do you put that ‘into a commercial? It’s so nebulous an issue that I don’t think any campaign will really _ deal with that. Most will focus on the yuppies, showing them as an active, upcoming group. But both parties are going to break their necks to reach them.” ' . Targeting black professionals on an economic level is no great leap for the Republican cam- paigns now shaping up. The true test of GOP effectiveness will be their ability to tap into the frustrations that older and less _affluent blacks are feeling within the Democratic party. As Garret puts it: “IT suppose logically you’d say Republicans could (simply) go after the young professional -black who drives a BMW and .neyer went to a segregated school. But...the older black man who may work in a kitchen by day and is a janitor by night, and his wife, who may be a domestic worker, are the parents of a «young MBA from Wharton. And they have just as much concern about conserving what they have --worked for. They want a safe ‘street so they can walk out at night. They want a quality educa- - tion for their grandchildren. They want social security secured. So there’s no real difference here. . The problem with Republicans is - that they have got to learn to go -, where the people.are.”” .,,.:; soi» There is.no denying that the , Republican party has had a ,, masterful control of both image -, and symbol in this decade-a point conceded by Walter Mondale in , 1984 and a distinct advantage in this television age of quick _ response to image. In the last na- tional elections, Republicans were consistently able to project an image of its supporters as society's winners. Americans may sympathize with underdogs, but they identify with .thoroughbreds. Would ‘‘Bill Cosby” be the number one show _ if he were protrayed as a man on welfare? No. Many young profes- ., sional blacks are ready to iden- _ tify themselves as winners. ~aje This basic bit of psychology -has so far escaped the - Democrats. The old coalition of . the disenfranchised clearly equated the party with America’s «underdogs in 1984. In an age when _ material wealth is foremost in people’s minds, the association is . self-defeating. Consider, for ex- support for welfare programs, which plays right into the negative image that an increas- ingly conservative America disdains. Thornton addresses another aspect of the perception problem. “There is a misconception in this country that all blacks are doing poorly, but it’s just under a third that fall below the poverty line. The rest of the black population is made up of hard-working working-class Americans, another group that’s rising; and still another that has always done well.” Bradley believes the GOP is on the brink of becoming the majori- ty party for the first time in its history. ‘‘But I also believe it won’t become the majority par- ty until it reaches out and in- cludes within it some reasonable number of every constituency.” The fact that Republicans have recognized their problems with blacks, both real and perceptual, and are willing to address those problems is a leap forward for them. Their interest is more than academic. Political strategists predict that if their party could attract 15 to 25 percent of the black vote, they could at last realize their long-sought goal-to take over the House of Represen- tatives. They are also painfully aware that inept appeals to black voters in 1986 may have cost them their Senate majority. A full quarter of the Democratic vote in the 1984 elec- tion was black. But politicans have begun to realize that the black community is not a homogeneous one-an advance on the rhetoric of the sixties. Sophisticated polling techniques make this a different kind of elec- tion. Republicans will use their considerable polling expertise to speak directly to different segments of the black population. Many in the new class of pro- fessional blacks want to be ad- dressed on economic issues and foreign affairs in a manner that acknowledges that they are capable individuals rather than part of an anonymous bloc vote. Furthermore, there is a per- vasive sense among blacks as a whole that their voting power is greater if both sides have to com- pete for it. All of this could spell trouble for the Democrats. If the Democratic party doesn’t work for the black vote or if it ig- nores Jesse Jackson as it did in 1984, they could pay a heavy price. ‘‘Some of the Democrats are falling behind the Republicans,’ in terms of the visibility of blacks in their cam- paigns, observes Garret. ‘‘The Republicans are stumbling all over themselves to mend fences with black voters, and the Democrats are trying to back away. Maybe even more so because of the ‘Jesse fac- tor, which we are going to use. The mistake they make is that 1988 is going to be a different kind of year. The Republican nominee, whoever he is, will not have a hostile record on civil rights, so that is not a significant factor. Secondly, I know Jesse Jackson very well and I guarantee he will not go quietly.” Thornton will be one of those strategists overseeing Republican campaigns in 1988. “Though most blacks will pro- bably line up behind Jesse Jackson, he will probably not get the nomination. So Republicans want to be in a position to take ad- vantage of a voting bloc that is energized and wants to get in- volved.

Country- club Republicans have their own pariah in fundamentalist minister Pat Robertson. Com- bating an image problem among blacks, he kicked off his cam- paign in the heart of Bedford- Stuyvesant, New York, amid a chorus of act-calls. But the at- tempt to build bridges to the ur- ban black community-however received-was significant in itself. As for the Democratic fold, Jackson is already viewed by some Democrats as a “‘spoiler’’ within the party. If he stays in the race all the way to the conven- tion, analysts estimate he could garner as much as 25 percent of the vote, making it extremely dif- ficult for any other candidate to attract the 50-plus percent need- ed to nail the nomination. Some have referred to the Democrats’ ‘“‘Jackson problem,” in much the same way insensitive politicians used to refer to the ‘‘Negro pro- blem”’ in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

Like some insecure mother, they continue to play the guilty card with the black community-with decreasing effectiveness. “In appealing to younger, suc- cessful blacks specifically, the Democrats are going to say, ‘We did all these things for your fami- ly. This is why your’re here. We're the party that started affir- mative action. We helped you get where you’ are _ today,’ speculates Thornton. ‘“‘But on the other hand, what the Republicans should say is ‘Yes, you ve arrived! You’ve made it! Look at our candidates. We have things that are of interest to you!’ The questions are: Can the Democrats offer blacks more than nostalgia and guilt? Can the Republicans overcome decades of old-fashioned ill-concealed in- difference and hostility to the poor and to blacks’ needs and desires? And will their appeal to self-interest attract enough blacks to make the effort worth their while? Fasten your seatbelts.

Greenville 756-4145 12-THURSDAY, MARCH 31-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1988 Transitional housing program for homeless individuals developed by the Greenville Community Life Center SUMMARY The Greenville Community Life Center proposes to develop in Greenville a transitional housing program for individuals who are currently homeless but who have the capacity to become indepen- dent and self-supporting follow- ing a period of stable supervised housing fund supportive services. It is proposed to develop this pro- ject as part of the overall plan of services for homeless _in- dividuals, to compliment the cur- rently existing overnight shelter. The property currently owned by the Center will be renovated to provide 14 apartment units in- cluding 2 handicapped accessible units. The Center will employ a full-time supervisor/manager who will operate the project and be fully responsible for the ser- vice. Their major responsibility will be to assist the clients to par- ticipate in rehabilitative and training programs that will lead to independence. One focus of the program will be meeting the needs of persons who have been deinstitutionalized with mental disabilities. The Center will apply to the department of Housing and Ur- ban Development (HUD) for a grant to complete the renovation and operate the program. The Center is in the process of seek- ing local funds to match the operational grant, a total of $17,000 per year is required as match. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Transitional Housing Pro- grams are designed to provide an intermediate level of care and housing for individuals going from total dependence to in- dependence. It is designed for that portion of the homeless population that could become in- dependent given a period of stable housing and supportive services. Since the emergency overnight shelter was opened in January of 1988, the utilization has rapidly increased so that at present there are usually 20 to 25 individuals there on any one night. In addi- tion, there is a undetermined number of people who endure primitive or abusive situations within the community for want of any alternative; they find themselves stuck and unable to make a change. Lastly, there are individuals who are currently maintained in institutional care who with assistance, would be able to obtain independence and self-care. The transitional hous- ing program is designed for these various groups. Research in other parts of the country have demonstrated that the homeless suffer from a high incidence of mental illness and alcoholism. Data from New York and Philadelphia indicates that of the population using shelters and soup kitchens, 40 percent are mentally ill, 20 percent are men- tally ill and substance abusers, and 20 percent are substance abusers. In addition, among the homeless are found individuals who are temporarily unemployed, those who have temporarily lost their home for a variety of reasons, as well as an increasing number of women and children. To meet the needs of these individuals the Greenville Community Life Center acquired a property in Greenville in Oc- tober of 1987, and created a emergency overnight shelter which opened in Januarv of 1988. We now wish to move beyond pro- viding overnight care and develop a more comprehensive and long term approach to the needs of homeless individuals. The Transistional Housing pro- gram will allow us to provide a small efficiency type apartment for single individuals or families who are unable to find housing elsewhere. Clients will be able to stay in these apartments for up to 18 months and during that time will receive the ongoing counsel- ing of the project supervisor. Every effort will be made to enroll clients in those supportive services necessary to help them become independent such as in- come maintenance programs, medical treatment, mental health and substance abuse rehabilitation, work training and vocational rehabilitation. Since most of the program costs will be covered by grant funding, we will be able to serve individuals who at the time of application have no income and are not necessarily enrolled in Social Security Disability or welfare programs. These are the individuals who find it most difficult to obtain stable residential care and who at the same time have most poten- tial for rehabilitation. The role of the program super- visor will be to control the overall operation of the program, to manage the physical plant, to evaluate and identify acceptable clients, to provide supportive counseling to them and to assist them in accessing needed addi- tional services. As clients move towards independence the manager will help target a date for them to leave the project and to become fully independent HUD GRANT Congress developed a much enlarged homeless assistance program in 1977 which set aside funds for provision of overnight emergency shelters and addi- tional services to homeless peo- ple. One of these additional ser- vices is the Transitional Housing program which we now seek to develop. The Transitional Hous- ing program will provide up to 50 percent of the cost for rehabilitating the structure and up to 50 percent: of the cost for operating the program. HUD will commit to funding the opera- tional grant for five years and re- quires that the program continue for an additional five years. If these requirements are met, no repayment of the grant is required. The HUD grant requires that the program commit to serving individuals with a mental han- dicap, particuarly individuals who may have received institu- tional care in the past. It is re- quired that at least 75 percent of the clients fall into this category. The other 25 percent may come from many other category of homeless individuals. BUDGET 1. Renovation Cost. Plans are presently being prepared by an architect and will be submitted to a builder to obtain definite pro- jections for the cost of rehabilitating the facility. However preliminary estimates indicate that the cost of renovating the building and pur- chasing equipment will be $110,000. (Continued on page 8) COMING SOON ...
