Carter Proposes
Draft of all
19, 20-year-olds
By EDDIE HARDIN
News Editor
President Carter proposed Friday
that the 8 million men and women
who turn 19 or 20 this year will be
required to register for military ser-vice
according to an article ap-pearing
in the Winston-Salem Jour-nal.
The call will be extended to 18-
year-olds in the future. The decision
will effect approximately 75 percent
of UNC-G's students.
The plan to register women is an
American first, but 11 other
nations, including Russia are now
registering women.
I he president said women would
not be assigned to combat units if
inducted but "there is no distinction
possible, on the basis of ability or
performance, that would allow me
to exclude women from an
obligation to register."
Under Carter's proposal,
everyone born in I960 or 1961
would register this year, probably
starting in the summer. Beginning
next January, those born in 1962 -
and those turning 19 in 1981 - would
register.
Thereafter, men and women
would be required to sign up when
they turn 18. Everyone's name
would remain on the rolls in-definitely.
Those affected would pick up
registration forms at local post of-fices
and fill in name, address, and
age. They would not get draft cards
or be required to take physicals, but
there would be a penalty for failure
to register. A White House
spokesman said, however, that the
maximum - 5 years in prison and a
SI0,000 fine - would not be im-posed.
In Canada, Prime Minister Joe
Clard said that American draft
dodgers seeking a haven in Canada
would be given a low immigration
priority because federal im-migration
laws have been revised
since the Vietnam War.
Carter, who has said he does not
envision any draft, but only
registration in case the need arises,
would have to get additional
authority from Congress before the
induction of anyone, male or
female, could take place.
Carter already has the power to
register men for military service, but
he asked Congress to appropriate
$20 million this year and $24.5
million in fiscal 1981 for the mam-moth
task of organizing and
keeping track of the records.
Because opposition is expected on
Capitol Hill, the president said he
would submit the plan to register
women separately from his request
for funding. That way. if Congress
decides that women should not be
included, the funds needed to~.
register men could still be approved.
House Speaker Thomas" O'Neill
has predicted that Congress will
reject the idea.
Carter's decision to register men
in peacetime is not unprecedented -
the first peacetime draft was in 1940
- but the United States never has
registered or drafted women.
The 11 countries that do register
women are Russia, Israel, Romania,
Brazil, North Korea, South Korea,
Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Peru and
Chile.
Carter cited the Soviet invasion of
Afghanistan as one reason America
needs to get its armed forces in bet-ter
order.

trustees; Dr. Walter Puterbaugh,
vice chairman of the Faculty Coun-cil,
for the faculty; Mrs. Bern
Bullard of Raleigh, president of the
UNC-G Alumni Association, for
the alumni; and David Payne,
president of student government,

The special ceremonies will open
with the traditional academic
procession. Marching in it will be
representatives of colleges and
universities arranged according to
the dates when the institutions were
founded, delegates from learned
societies, the faculty and those who
will be seated on stage. Afterwards,
Dr. Moran will deliver his formal
address, which will be a major focal
point of the convocation.
Following the convocation, a
reception will be held in Elliott
University Center.
Dr. Moran assumed office as
chancellor last August 1. He suc-ceeded
Dr. James S. Ferguson, who
held the chancellor's responsibilities
for nearly 14 years before returning
to full-time teaching as a
Distinguished Professor of History
at age 62 last fall.
Dr. Moran, 47, was appointed to
the UNC-G position following a
nationwide search. He came to the
Greensboro campus from the
University of Michigan at Flint,
where he had been chancellor for
eight years.
A graduate of Princeton Univer-sity,
where he majored in English
literature, Dr. Moran obtained his
master of business administration
degree from Harvard University's
Graduate School of Business Ad-ministration.
He received his Ph.D.
in business administration from the
University of Michigan's Graduate
School of Business.
Dr. Moran is the eighth chief
executive officer in the history of
the UNC-G campus, and the sixth to
hold the title of chancellor.
Charles Duncan Mclver, the in-stitution's
first president, served
from 1891 until his death in 1906.
Dr. Julius I. Foust succeeded him
and remained in the post until his
retirement in 1934. Dr. Walter Clin-ton
Jackson served from 1934-1950,
and was the first to hold the title of
chancellor under consolidation.
Other chancellors have been: Dr.
Edward Kidder Graham, 1930-56;
Dr. Gordon W. Blackwell, 1957-60;
and Dr. Otis Singletary, 1961-66.
Dr. W. W. Pierson served twice as
acting chancellor in 1956-57 and
1960-61.

Bennett Wants U.S.
To Come Together
By STEFANI NICOLETTI
Staff Writer
The Neo-Black Society sponsored a talk by
LeRone Bennett, editor of Ebony magazine,
last Saturday in Aycock Auditorium.
LeRone, who has authored six books, spoke
on the topic "Black History-White History;
the American Dream." The talk was part of
the Neo-Black Society's Black Arts Festival.
Bennett began by calling all Americans to
"come together to remember black history."
It is a time to remember all the black people
in American history; from the sharecroppers
to the railroad workers, from the people that
laid the foundations for cities and towns
across America to the Civil Rights marchers.
"Every month is white history month;
black history cannot be secure until we have
equal time." He continued by saying, "A
crucial part of the American identity is in the
waters of black history. . .it is im-possible
to understand George
Washington without understanding
that the very foundation of his
economy was based on slavery. It is
impossible to understand Thomas
Jefferson without realizing the fact
that he fathered several black
children."
He also stressed the appreciation
of the achievements of blacks in
history. For instance, the automatic
TV Show gets $34,000 Grant
UNC-G News Bureau
Marcy Maury's hands move with
a swift, fluid motion as she
welcomes her audience, in sign
language, to another edition of what
some consider one of the most
remarkable television programs in
the nation.
During the half-hour following
that signed greeting, thousands of
deaf and hearing-impaired persons
across North Carolina have a rare
chance to see a television show that
is produced, written, and directed
particularly for them.
"As far as we know, 'you
the Deaf is the longest-running
regular show of its kind in the coun-try."
said Gary Todd. associate
producer of the program.
Produced in the Carmichael
Television and Radio Center at
UNC-G, "You the Dear* has been
a unique leader in the field of deaf
communications for over two
decades. Since the fall of I9S8, the
information and entertainment
program has been a regular feature
of the WUNC-TV network.
As partial proof of the program's
success. "You the Deaf" starts its
I960 broadcast season this month
»nh a $54,000 grant from WUNC-TV
through the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting, by far the
largest budget received by the show.
The funds are made in the form of a
community service grant which is in-tended
to assist public television
stations in developing and
producing local programs.
"Deaf people as far away as
California know about this show,"
said Ranee Henderson, director of
the N.C. Schools for the Deaf.
"It's a remarkable program with
excellent ideas."
Dr. Edgar Shroyer. an assistant
professor in the communication
disorders division of UNC-G's
Department of Communication and
Theatre, has over 20 years exper-ience
in the education of the deaf in
four states. "Nationwide, people
are becoming more and more aware
of the needs of the deaf." he said.
"But to my knowledge, 'You the
Deaf hasn't been duplicated
anywhere in the nation."
"You the Deaf' uses a
"magazine format" of interviews.
taped feature stories, and infor-mation
on general subjects, as wefl
as those pertaining to the deaf.
Host Marcy Maury. director of the
Guilford County Communication
Center for the Deaf, uses sign
language and the program carries
tomecaptioning. But there is also a
full soundtrack on the show for the
"You the Deaf' wfll be aired over
the WUNC-TV network this season
on the first Saturday of each month
beginning at Sp.m.
"We're trying to feature as wide a
scope of activities in the deaf world
as possible, everything from main-streaming
in the schools to learning
how to read an audiogram," Ms.
Maury observed.
Estimates of the number of deaf
persons in the nation put the figure
at about 2.2 million. However, if all
those with some form of hearing
impairment are included, that num-ber
jumps to over 20 million. In
North Carolina, according to some
figures. Dr. Shroyer said, those who
are profoundly deaf number as
many as 8,000 or more. Those with
hearing impairments in the state
bring the figure to about 25.000.
Not only . are some television
stations increasing limited sign
language use on news broadcasts,
but the Public Broadcasting System
includes nightly captiooed reruns of
ABC national news, noted George
R. Smith, producer of "You the
Deaf* since the mid-1940*.

interest m the deaf wil begsa later hi

stop sign was invented by a black
man. Blacks have devised many
major medical techniques and, in
fact, the first successful heart
operation was performed by a black
surgeon. Black men invented ice
cream and potato chips, and George
Washington Carver is famous for
his extensive work with peanuts.
A black man by the name of Jean-
Baptiste DeSault built the first set-tlement
and established the first
business in a remote area of Illinois
early in American history. Local In-dians
called him the "first white
man who was a black man." In ef-fect,
DeSault founded the city
known today as Chicago. "And this
is the biggest hidden fact in
Chicago." Bennett added.
On the topic of the Civil Right!
movement he commented that more
was usually accomplished for the
benefit of other Inter-American
races than for the black race. For
example,"The Civil Rights
movement was responsible for the
integration of Irish. Italian. and
byAntfrtwrr
editor LeRone Bennett
Jewish history into classroom tex-tbooks."
The topic of the lecture turned to
the question of why the appreciation
of black history, and all history in
general, is so necessary. Bennett an-swered
his own question by saying,
"Those who don't get involved with
the past lose both the past and the
future. He who controls history
controls an image, and he who con-trols
an image controls the future. It
is the past that teaches us to hope.''
Bennett cited some fallacies in
modern opinion toward the
motivation and drive of the black
individual. "According to the black
past." he said."blacks prefer
welfare to work." He corrected his
notion by stating the fact that blacks
have literally "built America," with
their work in the cities, on the
railroads, and in the fields of the
past. The black past supports the
idea that Mack students have in-ferior
I.Q's. Bennett erased this
misconception by saying. "Blacks
