Senate Approves NBS
Budget of $9,656
By DAVID OSBORNE
Staff Writer
The senate approved a budget of
S9.656.0S last week for the Neo
Black Society, but according to
NBS coordinator Walter Pritchett,
"with the number of black students
that must be served, the amount of
money is not enough."
Pritchett also wishes that NBS
"could have more co-operation,
more support from the white corn-

munity, but unfortunately they
(whites) can't see the relevance of the
appropriations because they don't
participate in any of the program."
The total body of members in
NBS were fairly satisfied with the
way the NBS presented the budget
with the exception of having to
delete the money for the Black Arts
Festival and the NBS Choir's annual
trip to Atlanta. "We were faced
with the choice of deleting certain
things in our budget or deleting total
things," said Pritchett.
Pritchett said that there could be
a possibility of more funding, but
that "the only way the NBS budget
is going to change is for there to be
more participation from other
departments in the affairs of the
NBS." Pritchett explained that
NBS would like to see more help
coming in from departments like
music, drama, etc. on programs
sponsored by NBS.
As an example Pritchett cited the
recent problems the NBS Jazz En-

semble encountered with trying to
practice for their concert Sunday in
Cone ballroom. "We have tried to
get PA equipment and request space
from the Music Building for prac-tice.
But the Music Department
explained that in the light of recent
problems they have had with other
groups music space and equipment,
they couldn't allow any other
groups, including NBS to use their
services." said Pritchett.
Pritchett said personally, that he
would like for NBS to be used "as a

San Fraactoco-A federal judge
hiled Tuesday that IQ tests, that are
the basis for the placement of many
black students in classes for the men-tally
retarded, are unconstitutional.
The ruling came from chief U.S.
District Judge Robert F. Peckham
following evidence presented to him
showing that these tests violate federal
aws recently enacted as well as
violating state and federal con-stitutions.
All of the students, who are now
assigned to these special classes, will
be retested by the state by an order
from Peckham.
The state of California was also or-
Idered to review the criteria used in
assessing such tests and the state was
also ordered to have court approval
before instigating the use of standar-dized
tests for placement purposes.
Washlagtoa-Tuesday night, the
Senate approved President Carters
proposal of a $20 million fund for a
program for the production of syn-thetic
fuels.
The final vote was 59 in favor and
38 in opposition with North Carolina
Senators Robert Morgan (Democrat)
and Jesse Helms (Republican) among
theopposers.
The Senate also reversed it's
decision from the previous night and
voted to provide SI.2 bimon to hasp
needy families pay the cost of winter
heating bills.
Wasaiagtea-The Transportation
Department reported Tuesday that

been actual accidents.
At the news conference, Secretary]
of Transportation Department, Neil
Goldschmidt, stated that he wast
"particularly encouraged by th<
showing of such small can as the
Chevrolet Citation and Chevette, tin
Plymoth Horizon and the Ford
Mustang."
He also stated that the results of the)
test on the American-made can wen
"a dear indication that it is possible
to build safer small can."
Philadelphia-At least 421
passengers on 3 commuter trains werej
injured Tuesday when the trains
crashed at the peak of the morning
rush hour.
According to authorities, most of]
the injuries were minor with no repor-ts
of fatalities.
R.B. Hoffman, an official of]
Conrail,operators of the commuter
service, said that "we have no idea
what triggered the accident. All

catalyst to help black students
realize their academic potentials
through projects and events that
would stress black awareness and
black achievements." He said he
would also like to see NBS "try to
bring about more togetherness bet-ween
blacks and whites."
"Even though I don't feel there is
a racial problem on this campus, I
do feel that there is not enough par-ticipation
or togetherness between
blacks and whites," explained Prit-chett.
But Pritchett said that the budget
for NBS is having to be used mainly
for "programing for the blacks" on
UNC-G's campus because there has
been a lack, by any white
organization or group, of coverage
of the black community on campus.
Pritchett used as an example the
recent publicity following Falderal.
"NBS kicked off Falderal with the
Miss NBS Pageant and ended it with
a poetry reading," and he stated
that "no pictures in the two page
spread in the Carolinian showed any
black students participating in
Falderal."
Pritchett also commented that
"A lot of what NBS does is to go out
to different black communities and
recruit unoffically with the
programs they sponser." He stated
that "We (NBS) get out to more
people in a shorter amount of time
which is more than any recruiter
could accomplish in that same
period of time." Pritchett also says
that "because NBS represents such
a large number of diverse student in-terest
I do not feel that our budget is
large enough."

Revolution Members
At Hampton House
By EDDIE HARDIN
Staff Writer
Thursday afternoon, nine suppor-ters
of the Revolutionery Com-munist
Party were arrested at the
Hampton Homes housing project
for inciting a riot and disturbing the
peace. Three persons were also in-volved
in the incident here at UNC-G.
John Leavers, 26, of Tampa,
Jeffrey Alan Rooney, 24, also of
Tampa and Tom Hirschi, 26, of
Houston, Texas had been arrested
earlier Thursday for their in-volvement
in the UNC-G incident.
All were being held in the Guilford
County Jail in lieu of $500 bonds.
The two incidents were staged to
publicize a rally that was to be held
Sunday night at the Holiday Inn
Four Seasons Mall.
The rally was organized to
welcome Bob Avakian, the leader of
the RCP. After a tense hour of
waiting, the audience began to
disperse from the rally. There was
some speculation as to whether
Avakian showed at all. Intense
security precautions turned many
interested observers away.
Television cameras were on hand
but were allowed to show only
posters and literature of the RCP.
After nearly two hours of tension-filled
waiting, the rally was can-celled.
It is rumored that the rally
was moved across the street to the
Howard Johnsons and only mem-bers
of RCP and "selected" others
were invited.
Television news stories down
played the event, calling it
"unorganized." Chanel Two
refused to cover the event upon
learning that they couldn't film the
audience. Dave Zeiger, RCP
spokesman said, "We have a few
very simple rules that must be
followed, and if you refuse to ob-serve
these rules, then you can take
your cameras and leave." Chanel 2
Arrested
Project
argued that they were invited and
"you can't govern the press." "We
can film anything we want to, and if
you refuse, we'll leave now. and vou
will not receive any publicity."
"Leave then," answered Zeiger.
Zeiger felt that the press had tried
to build an impression on citizens
that the rally would be dangerous
with a possiblitiy of violence. As a
result, few people showed up for the
rally. When it became evident that
the program would be indefinitely
delayed, if brought off at all, the
small number of onlookers began to
leave. The rally was cancelled
around 8:30 amidst rising tensions
and a sense of unorganization.
As to whether the rally was
moved to Howard Johnsons and re-started,
or aborted completely is not
known. An RCP representative
claimed that Avakian did show and
the rally was resumed at a later
hour. As to the content of the rally,
no word could be reached.
WUAG Tops Cume Ratings
For Educational Stations
By EDDIE HARDIN
Staff Writer
The Greensboro Daily News
Company released its Spring 1979
Cume Ratings of Guilford County
radio listeners last week, and
WUAG had a strong showing. Of
1,419 residents polled, 1.3 percent
listen to WUAG regularly.
Though this figure seems low,
many were surprised by the 1.3 per-cent
showing. The residents were
picked randomly and asked sim-ply.
"What radio station do you
listen to the most?" WBIO in
Greensboro recieved the largest to
percentage of listeners, 9.3. WCOG
got 7.1 and WEAL and WGBG
had 7.5 and 7.4 respectively. Win-ston-
Salem's WTQR, a country
station recieved the largest percen-tage
of any station outside of
Greensboro 3.1. Among the area
university stations, WUAG out-distanced
the rest. WQDR in
Raleigh, which has a strong
collegiate following got a similar 1.3
rating and Guilford College's
WQFS pulled less than 1 percent.
WFDD (Wake Forest University)
recieved a 0.1 percent rating.
WUNC (Chapel Hill's station) did
not make the cut-off-zero percent.
Three popular Winston-Salem
stations, WTOB. WAIR, and WK-ZL-
FM, also failed to make the cut-off.
David Israel, WUAG's station
manager said, "We are very proud
of this rating. It proves that we do
have a market for listeners. Our
rating improved from 0.7 percent 2
years ago to 1.3, and we outdistan-ced
many commercial stations in the
area. This superior rating shows
that we are the area's leading
educational station." Aside from
the 1.3 percent rating from the
Greensboro area, WUAG received a
strong 2.0 percent of High Point
listeners. "We are very proud of
this."
Of the 1,419 people surveyed,
41.8 percent of trie people listened
to stations which did not make the
cut off or did not know or listen to
the radio.
