Located on the Gulf of Guinea, the Ivory Coast is slightly larger than New Mexico and has a population of 5.5 million people. The majority of the volunteers there have been involved in education programs, teaching English as a second language. Future programming will focus on agriculture, health and community development, according to Dr.Kamara. ‘I’m really extremely excited about the opportunity of work ing with the Peace Corps in West Africa. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do,’ said Dr. Kamara,who has traveled to the Ivory Coast and West Africa.

This is especially meaningful because women are assuming tremendous roles in the development of these - countries. Having worked with volunteer organizations in the United States, I am looking forward to sharing my expertise with the people in West Africa.’

INDY FOUR: Four North Central men are now midshipmen at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Left to right are George Brown,

Bill Bastian, Doug Meyer and George Station.

North Central graduates doing it at Naval Academy

Two blacks are among the four North Central High School graduates benefiting from years of tradition, military discipline and valuable education at the Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. In the plebe class is George Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Brown, 5858 Kathryn Drive. In his final year at the Academy is George Station, a 1973 alumnus of North Central and son of Mr. and Mrs. George V. Station, 1629 Stevenson. They are joined by Bill Bastian, son of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Bastian of 8920 Rosewood Lane, and Doug Meyer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Meyer, 801 Englewood Road, a 1974 graduate of North Central. The Naval Academy is the Navy’s four year college for young men and women who want to become officers in the Navy and Marine corps. Midshipmen, who come from every state in the union, study an academic and professional curriculum that qualifies them for Bachelor of Science degrees and commissions them as ensigns in the Navy or second Lieutenants in the Marine Corps. Though midshipmen study collegecourses, the Navy Academy is very different from a civilian college. It is a military school, and midshipmen live in a military environment 24 hours a day. They weai; uniforms, march in parades, form up for meals, stand watches, keep curfews and receive demerits for break ing regulations. It is the military part of life at the Academy that the new midshipmen are first exposed to. In July and August before their academic classes begin, plebes undergo rigorous training and discipline. Under the tutelage of first class (senior) midshipmen, the plebes march, sail, shoot, exercise, memorize and march some more. Though the physical harassment has been eliminated from plebe training there is still plenty of mental pressure on the plebes. “Plebe Summer was rough ”, recalls George Brown. “You go from civilian to military very quickly. I thought I knew what to except, but it turned out to be a little different". Adds Bill Bastian, “I was prepared physically for Plebe Summer, but mentally it’s quite a change from civilian life. You have to get into a routine and learn to budget your time. If you have 15 minutes free you have to use it to do something”. Bill and George still have plebe duties to worry about, but studies are the most important thing now. Each

semester midshipmen carry 18-20 hours of classes that include required engineering, science, humanities and professional courses as well as courses in their major areas of study. Says physics major George Station, "I think the education here is one of the best I could get". A midshipman’s day is not over when classes end at 3:30. Physical fitness is an important part of the Naval .Academy’s program, and, in addition to taking physical education classe all midshipmen are required to participate in one of t h e Academy's 22 varsity or 23 intramural sports. George Brown, an All County and second team All State football player at North Central, played for Navy's plebe football team this past fall. He hopes to make the varsity this coming season. Bill Bastian has picked up a new start at Annapolis. A varsity tennis player in high school. Bill is now the number one player on Navy’s plebe squash team. He plans to go out for the tennis team in the spring, but says the tennis competition is tough at Navy. Professional training also is important in a midshipman’s education.'In additon to taking courses such as navigation and seamanship during the academic year, midshipmen spend their summers getting a look at what they call “the real Navy". After their plebe year midshipmen sail aboard Navy ships to learn the life of the enlisted man. The following summer they travel to several Navy and marine Corps bases for trainine in aviation, submarines, sur face warfare and marine Corps infantry. During their last summer as midshipmen they go back to sea on ships and submarines, this time as junior officers. George Station, who wilk report to the USS GRIDLEV in San Diego after graduation, said his cruise on the west coast last summer “convinced me that I wanted to serve on a surface ship. I worked as an assistant division officer this summer". Doug Meyer also enjoyed his summer training. “My first summer I was in the Mediterranean and got to visit Spain and the islands of Palma and Majorca. I loved Spain. Last summer was when I decided I wanted to fly. They took us up in a jet in Pensacola. The feeling of flying is great". All of the Academy training will pay off for George Station on June 8 when he tosses his midshipmen cap into the air at the Naval Academy graduation. He says he is a little

nervous about going aboard his ship for the first time”, but I’ve gone into new situations here several times. This place teaches you adaptability”. The Naval Academy is not an easy place to get a college education. Midshipmen live under a rigorous schedule and do not have the freedom of social life that their contemporaries in civilian colleges have. But so far the North Central men agree that the Academy is worth the effort they put into it. Says George Station. “My job is the school. I’ve gotten a good education, and I have a job waiting for me when I graduate". Adds Doug Meyer, “When I think about my friends at college I think I would like to experience college. But I also think that my friends didn’t get to go to Spain or to the Army game or do a lot of things I’ve done. I've given up something to go here, but I've gained too. I will have plenty of free weekends after I graduate. It’s worth it".

More ironey in n inority banks urged Piesident Carter has urged all federal department and agency heads to cooperate with a program to increase the level of deposits in minority banks. Last week, he sent a memorandum endorsing a seven-year-old ongoing governmentprivate effort in this area. The Treasury Department has set a goal of $100 million of government-controlled funds depositied in minority banks by the end of 1977. “It is important that the minority banks continue to participate in the progress of our nation’s banking industry. Your cooperation is vital. The costs of this program have been low and the dividends high,” President Carter stated in his memorandum. He noted there has been a decline in government-controll-ed funds in minority banks from a peak of $89.2 million in

mid 1976.

The memo continued: “...I urge you to make every possible effort to locate deposits under your control or administered through your agency which can be channeled into minority banks. “I will keep abreast of your progress through the quarterly reports that you submit to the Treasury Department."

FOR AIDING MINORITIES: Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Nichols accept a Brotherhood Award on behalf of Kellogg Company of Battle Creek, Mich., in recognition of the cereal maker’s national leadership role in human relations. Mr. Nichols is president of Kellogg Sales Company. The award given annually by the Chicago Conference For

Brotherhood is presented by Chicago Aiderman Bennett M. Stewart [left], vice president of the Conference. Sen. Dick Clark of Iowa [second from left], who led the successful fight in the U.S. Senate to halt the import of Rhodesian chrome, also was honored by the Chicago human rights group.

Carter gets letter from Black Caucus The Congressional Black - Caucus has urged President Carter to appoint black Ameri1 cans to a new commission which will control who gets paid for published music ideas. In a letter to the President, , Parren J. Mitchell, Caucus chairman, expressed the Caucus’ keen interest’ in seeing that one of the five positions on the copyright Royalty tribunal was filled by a black person. Mitchell stated ‘the decisions of this Commission will have special implications for the significant numbers of black Americans who compose and arrange the music and write the lyrics of many of this nation’s most popular songs. In fact, these decisions will affect the people who own the publishing rights to soul, rhythm and blues music.’ Moreover, the five man Tribunal will have significant control over who gets paid from copyrighted material used in the music, television, radio, cable television and the jukebox businesses. ‘There is no question,’ stated Mitchell, ‘that black Americans generate a large percentage of (the) total revenues in the music industries.’ Numberous stories have - been told about musicians, especially black musicians, who have written songs, only to fail to reap the economics benefits because they did not understand the copyright laws. Congressman Mitchell further stated, ‘we believe that many black Americans possess (professional competence in the field of copyright policy) along with the special awareness of the impact of copyright law on those in the entertainment and communications in-

dustries.'

This is a significant position which can have immense benefits for American’s creative community and particularly so for America’s black people. Black veterans applaud Carter The National Black Veterans Organization has applauded the action of President Carter in authorizing the armed services to upgrade more than 422,000 veterans with undesirable and general discharges. Dr. Aaron Henry, chairman of the NBVO, has urged the adoption of such a proposal as a positive step that will do much to further heal the divisiveness growing out of the Vietnam War, and help erase the stigma attached to other than-honor-able discharges. Dr. Henry suggested that all less-than-hoporable discharged veterans immediately contact their nearest VA office or the NBVO office (629 -F Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20004) for further details about this upgrading process. “All veterans should understand that now a former serviceman whose undesirable discharge isu pgradedto honorable can expect to receive benefits previously denied him, Dr. Henry added. Richard N. Hamilton, NBVO executive director, has expressed the hope that President Carter will make provisions for viable “outreach", full employment, and counselling program for young men who may be in need as a result of the hardships fostered by less-than honorable discharge. Michigan educator at CTS Dr. David Noel Freedman, director of the program on studies in religion at the University of Michigan, will give public lectures at Christian Theological Seminary May 3 and 4, one on Biblical archeology and the other on poetry in

the Bible.

Dr. Freedman, who has been profesor of Biblical studies at the University of Michigan since 1971, is a visiting professor at Hebrew University, Jerusalem, this academic year. The May 3 lecture at 8 p.m. is titled “Ebla and the Bible." It will be illustrated by slides Dr. Freedman took on what he calls “the sensational discoveries made at Tell Markikh, ancient Ebla, in Syria.” The May 4 lecture at 11 a.m., on “Poetry in the Bible," will deal with an area about which Dr. Freedman has written for many years. The lectures are part of the seminary’s Hugh Th. Miller lectureship series, which are intended to explore in breadth the involvement of the church in the contemporary world. Dr. Freedman, an ordained Presbyterian minister, has taught at three theological seminaries and at Johns Hopkins University, where he also earned the Ph.D degree.

statewide Junior Outreach news by Herman Appleton’

“WO BE AM I” (CONTINUED) Last week we talked about when I was in court. I was there for something that I did that was not in keeping with the law. I had made a left turn at the corner of 16th and Illinois at the wrong time, so I had to stand before the judge. In other words when I broke the law, it was woe be to me. Oh, if I had known the right person I could have gotten it fixed, but would that be justice? The law says that there is no left turn there from a said time. There is no excuse for ignorance of the law. What laws are we talking about? Any law!! The laws of the land are the laws of the Bible (God). Just to make a parable, here is a man at the top of a 20-story building. He says, “I don’t think it will kill me if I jump off’, so he jumps, and when he passes the 10th story he says, “so far, so good". Once he hits the ground he is killed, so he was ignorant of the law of gravity. There was another man that knew if he jumped he would be killed, so he slipped and fell. Now, which one was the most dead, the one who was most ignorant or the one who knew the law. So it is wo be unto all of the people that are breaking the laws of the Bible (God). The Bible is available for everyone who wants to read it. “ON RIGHTEOUSNESS” Most people that you talk to

today will say what they think. Is this right? Would it be better if they would search out what the Bible says? It did not make any differnce what the man thought that jumped off the 20-story building, the law of gravity had taken over. “For They Being Ignorant of Gods Righteousness and Going About to Establish There Own Righteousness, Have Not Submitted Themself Into the Righteousness of God.” (Roman 10:3.) r CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.
