Pharmacist-a ;! job 'unnoticed' f Far too few blacks consider the thriving and critical pharmaceutical profession when thinking of a career and Indianapolis NPHA (National Pharmaceutical Association) is out to do something about it. NPHA's benefit Las Vegas Disco Saturday night, beginning at 9 p.m., at the YWCA, 4460 Guion Road, will be for scholarship purposes—a continuation of determined organizational efforts to see that interested black students with potential, interest and scholastic ability are encourag-

ed.

High starting pay with a single degree (BS), the satisfaction of being part of the health team, and contact with the general public are three of the prime lucrative benefits rattled off by Howard Bell. A pharmacist for 12 years, he can speak with authority, having served a term as NPHA president. He’s assistant manager of the Super X Drugs at 2636 W. Michigan. Bell quotes statistics showing only three percent of the nation’s 200,000 pharmacists are black. He attributes this partially to the fact most write off a pharmacist as merely the “guy in a drugstore behind a counter filling prescriptions." "There's a lot more to it than that." he explains. “We have community practices, clinical pharmicists and doctors of pharmacy who make hospital rounds with doctors." When speaking of the industrial end, he mentions such local giants as Eli Lilly and Company and Dow Chemical. Both employ plenty of pharmacists with good pay. Then. too. there’s a lot to earned (something like $50 an hour 1 and learned by going in the consulting phase advising others. There are 22 black pharmacists locally and 800 nationally. Bell says, and many of them were in Indianapolis last year for NPHA's national convention. The low black ratio is reflected more by the fact there are only two black-owned and operated pharmacies in town—Medical Arts Pharmacy, 21st and Capitol, and Midtown Pharmacy. 27th. and Northwestern. I'nder president Ron Davis. NPHA wants to continue its scholarship grants and counsel young blacks, male and female, willing to explore the possibilities. One scholarship recipient, straight A Purdue junior Rondey Chandler, will be at Saturda night's function. Hopefully sometime in the near future, the Indianapolis chapter will establish a Haywood Campbell memorial scholarship fund, named after the late black Eli Lilly executive. In the meantime. NPHA is counting on everyone interested attending the benefit to help a little financially and learn more about programs.

Today’s man

By MICHAEL M GREENE

FASHIuNFREE’! It take' aii kinds .and that-s what the rap is all about in this new !a>hionfree era-a fa>hionage that demands orig ality, daring and versatility he used by T0DA\ S M \N when he -teps out “GQ DOWN ...which could be any dnd 4.ii t tmes. Remember your High School Prom or the jams you ‘requented m the past years? Do you recall the uniformity o! sv. es worn by all your partners, including you? 5 eah! Everyone was sharp .but everyone looked virtually the samo Ren ‘nrher your old habit, an hour before a jam, calling y.our partners to -*ee what they're wearing...and then dres-ing a c irdingly Well, check it out'!! TODAY'S MAN is like;) domt the same thing, only he's making sure he tails out totally unique. Color '' homes play a major role in this present fashionfree era Traon .nally. Italian designers have utilized daring color combos and have managed to succeed in uniting three brights together without heavy clashes. French designers, on the other hand, deal more with the subtleties m their color /(^ordinations. The French fabricators idea is to allow the paler beauty of their designs to become the emphasis. Thusly. greys, pale blues and dusty browns become the Pans trademark. Y et, the dominant color this spring summer will likely be the most unlikely: white! sure, white has always been one of man s favorite contrast colors m the warmer months. The difference during this fashionfree spring/summer is simple. TODAY "SMAN will GQ DOWN" white from head to toe. The old taboo against white socks and white shoes has been discharged. TODAY’ S MAN is stepping across old fashion boundries and creating new ones all his own! An extensive view of New Y’ork last year has given me the opportunity to see the changing fashionattitudes that will surely sweep the country. Stacey Adams and Florsheims were formerly “IT" in man’s footwear. Yet. TODAY”S MAN is stepping out into the softer and more simple styled shoes. One astounding change is the utilization of tennis shoes in T0DAY”S MAN’s fashion wardrobe. With the newer free styled, unconstructed suits spanning the fashionglobe.. nothing seems more logical than simply-styled tennis shoes. Belts are also becoming more and more important in this fashionfree era. Wide belts are out...thin belts are in. The best w ay to explain the style of the new belt buckles in to let you explain it yourself. Just take a look at the belts in your father or grandfather’s wardrobe...and there you have it! THE PERSONAL TOUCH...that’s what today’s fashion is all about! Forget about what everyone else is wearing. Be versatile...be daring...but most of all be original! That’s what defines TODAY S MAN “GQ DOWN.”
