WEST LAFAYETTEA program to boost minorities’ prospects for success in fields of health care has been launched at Purdue University with $300,000 from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

These flim-flam artists, claiming to have pull at the SBA, have focused their attacks, on the small firms owned by disadvantaged persons bidding on government contracts. They approach minority businesses directly or indirectly through newspaper advertisements, offers to prepare, submit and get approval of SBA loans, with fees sometimes reaching thousands of dollars.

David A. Davis, the center’s associate director, commented that the need for such minority

programs “is undeniable in that there is a tremendous demand nationally for minority healthcare professionals. “Tremendous disparities in health-care services exist between minorities and the general population. We know, for example, that non whites receive less and possibly less effective health care than do whites.” Futhermore, he observed, there is an absence of minority health-care professionals t o meet the needs of the minority population. He noted that, according to an article in American Druggist magazine last July, the United States needs about 12,000 black pharmacists in order to provide the manpower necessary to deliver a level of pharmaceutical services availability equal to the present capability for non-black communities. “The problem,” Davis said, “is no less acute for medicine, osteopathy, dentistry, optometry, podiatry or veterinary medicine.” Dean of Pharmacy Varro E.

Purdue’s black queen seen as morale booster

Tyler commented that establish ment of the center is due in large measure to the pharmacy school’s successful minoritystudent program which boasts a 93 percent retention rate. Its components include the Pharmacy Education Program, or PEP, an eight-week summer program to help recent minority high-school graduates bridge the gap between high school and college, and Project Awareness. The latter allows representatives of the various schools at Purdue to discuss nontraditional carrers with minority high school freshmen and sophomores. Besides Weaver and Davis, who is minority program coordinator in the pharmacy school, the center’s staff includes Irene Johnson, School of Science minority counselor who is preprofessional counselor for the center, and Heidi AndersonHarper, health career counse lor. Tyler said the staff of the center will continue to build "in support of the university’s goal to provide equal educational opportunities for all."

through efforts of the Ford Motor Company to increase the volume of its purchases from minority firms, Jones said. He was approached by a Ford official several months ago, and proceeded to organize a corporation to enter the business.

added.

The auto handling business involves the shuttling and loading of motor vehicles between plant sites and rail ramp areas, Jones said. The vehicles are loaded onto multi level freight cars and flat cars for shipment, and are also offloaded and shuttled to convoy

shipping areas.

African role to be examined

The Indiana University African Studies Program and the Indiana Council of Churches is sponsoring a conference which will focus on the role of missions in Africa. The two-day meeting this weekend here, Friday and Saturday is open to the public and will bring together academics and mission related church people from around Indiana. Sessions will be informal and have been scheduled to include general discussions.

The first session, “Missions in Africa before Independence: an Assessment,” will be at 7 p.m. at Marian College, Indianapolis, on Friday. Three other sessions are scheduled at the Interchurch Center, 42nd Street and Northwestern Ave., Indianapolis, on Saturday Dec. 2. Topics for Saturday’s sessions are “African Missions since Independence,” "Christian Missions in Southern Africa” and “The Future of Foreign Missions in Africa.”

NEW Y0RK--South Africa has rejected the United Nations Security Council’s demand that it cancel elections it plans to hold without UN supervision in South-West Africa next month, said UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim. The Security Council’s demand, made in a resolution adopted November 13, contained the implicit threat that the world body might seek international economic sanctions against South Africa if it does not comply. The deadline the council gave Waldheim to report on progress in implementing the resolutions expired November 25. In a report to the 15-nation council, Waldheim said he had field talks with South African Secretary for Foreign Affairs Bernard us Fourie, and that Fourie had turned down the demand for cancellation of the elections South Africa had seheduled December 4-8, in the South Wort Africa region com-

monly referred to as Namibia. However, Fourie expressed S. Africa readiness to cooperate in bringing about the later election of a constituent assembly with U.N. sanctioning, Waldheim said. Both sets of elections are intended to pave the way for the territory’s independence from S. Africa. The SouthWest Africa People’s Organization, which has strong UN backing, contends it will not be able to mount a campaign for elections to be held as early as this month. SWAPO guerillas have been fighting a hit-an-run war against South African troops in the area. Most observers there believe pro-South African forces will easily dominate the local government emerging from any December elections. Waldheim expressed he might hold talks in the early part of this week with S. African Foreign Minister Roelof Botha-the proposed site of the UN headquarters here.

morale and low self-esteem of the school’s minority students. Kassandra Agee, a 19-year Md sophomore in management from Gary, beat out 23 white candidates for the title and became the first black person to win any comparable position involving a university wide selection process. "The students feel that Katie’s example of how something can be accomplished in a predominantly white environment encourages the black students toward greater participation in extra-curricular affairs," history Professor Darlene Hines said. Black students, who make up less than 3 per cent of the more than 30,000 students on the Purdue campus, have been reluctant to participate in school activities, such as student government, she said. “But now they feel that something can be done. The fact that a large number of whites voted for her also tells the student that they’re not totally relegated to a minority status,” Dr. Hines noted. Miss Agee, originally of 24 candidates, was elected one of five finalists in campuswide voting. The finalists were interviewed by a committee that looked at academic achievement, involvement in campus activities and general attractiveness. The selection of Miss Agee was "a general recognition that a black woman can be beautiful and can be selected on the basis of her intrinsic beauty," Dr. Hines said. “I think that did something for the group esteem because...the standards of beauty in this country dictate that you have to be blonde and blue-eyed and have fair skin.” Assistant Provost Luther Williams said Miss Agee’s crowning bespoke a change in the attitudes and values of Purdue students. "Obviously if the value systems of the people making the determinations were in opposition to a minority person being selected, it wouldn’t have happened,” he said. “It’s a very positive statement regarding Purdue’s undergraduate population.” fcXPI^ESSYOUROPTNlONS^ ‘ rON THE EDITORIAL PAGES r OF THE RECORDER TODA^.
