November 2t,19M Volume LX Number It The University ef North CaroHaa at Greeasborc Cal Our Hotline: 379-5041 KKK Could Face Federal Charges By EDDIE H ARD1N Associate Editor In the wake of Monday's shocking "not guilty" verdict passed down from a 12-member all-white jury in CWP-Klan-Nazi trial here in Greensboro, local and state officials have been made aware of a new possibility - federal interven-tion. Should federal authorities decide to do so, the case could be reopened on a higher level. Though no one has confirmed such a decision, the federal government still has the authority to open the case again from a different angle. As in cases of the sixties, the government can now reopen hearings under the heading of Civil Rights. If federal authorities decide that the rights of CWP members were violated, then the North Photo by Craig Rubin CWP member hands oat leaflets to students in front of BE Building. Gusson Gives Food Lecture Carolina ruling can be struck down. The basis for such a decision lies in the direction taken by state of-ficials in such cases. North Carolina tried the six defendents on murder charges. The United States could try the defendants on a more in-depth charge of violating the civil rights of the CWP. In light of CWP accusations that the trial was politically and racially influenced, the reopening of the hearings would probably give them the opportunity to prove this. Evidence not accepted by the State would become prime evidence in a federal hearing due to its political intentions. The testimony of wit-nesses such as Bernard Butkovich, who reportedly sat in on numerous KKK meetings, would be important testimony in a government civil rights trial. Inside informants and police records of KKK activity prior to the incident would be introduced. But, in order for the government to step in, they would first have to reivew the evidence given by the state. They would need to review the prosecution's case to determine if any injustice was done in the proceedings. They would have to prove sufficient and reasonable doubt in the State's claims that "everything possible" was done to assure a fair trial. Internship Opportunities Available By MARY L. TURNER Special to The Carolinian Ms. Turner is the Field Experience Facilitator in Academic Affairs and can be reached at 3 79-5496. One of the most frequent remarks heard from prospective employees is "they won't hire us because we don't have experience." Well, students, there is one way to gain this experience and sometimes you can even get paid for it. Internship opportunities are available in almost any field you are interested in, from voluntary agen-cies such as the Greensboro Cerebral Palsy School to N.C. State internships which pay SI25 per week. Some internship programs in-volve a whole semester away from oamput and cost little- more than it does in an in-state student living on campus. One such program is the Washington Center for Learning Alternatives (WCLA). The Center assists universities in placing studen-ts in agencies around the Washington, DC, area. A student can receive up to 12 credit hours for this internship experience. Do you want to work in a museum, a camp, or a social service agency? Are you interested in Ecology? There are numerous agen-cies, private and public, throughout the country looking for you. En-vironmental Intern Programs are located in the northeast, west, and mid-west or you can find a program closer to home. Slate internships are available in many states. Most are limited to students from those states, but, of-ten out-of-state students are accep-ted as well. In the Field Experience Facilitator's Office, we try to find a program that you are interested in and will even try to arrange course credit for the experience. The only problem is that you have to be interested and you have to ap-ply and the sooner the better, bee-cause most internships are com-petitive and require early ap-plication . So, when you start rewriting those resumes, just think how much more impressed your future employer will be when he finds out you have had some experience. By TAMMY MCK1NNON Staff Writer Dr. Juan D. Gusson, chairman of the nutrition program of Teachers College at Columbia University, delivered the fourth annual Ellen Swallow Richards Memorial Lec-ture Monday at UNC-G. Recognized nationally as a specialist in food and nutrition, she spoke on the topic, "Growth, Truth, and Responsibility:Food Is The Bottom Line." The lecture was in com-memoration of Ellen Swallow Richards, who in 1873 became the first woman graduate of MIT. Known as "America's first lady of science" and the "Mother of Home Economics", Mrs. Richards was "a woman of formidable energy" who made a science of homemaking because no one would permit her to pursue a true science. Dr. Gussow began her lecture with the assertion that the American home has changed with "progress" to a place where women are forced to wonder about the value of what they are doing there. Such women, whom Dr. Gussow referred to as "insecure young homemakers", are preyed upon by advertisements featuring "pizza warmers, new drain cleaners and convenience foods". Dr. Gussow scorned "convenien-ce foods" and stated that we should be eating "the dull but hearty food we urge on the poor, we the educated who always feel we know what's best for them. She referred to "absurdist nutrition education", whereby vegetarians are told that cornflakes are a valid substitution for cows and "there is little left to do but teach people how not to be zapped by doing little to inform students or the eating public of im-pending doom. "If there isn't enough food", she stated, "It won't matter if there isn't enough of anything else. All of us in the world are dependent on someone, somewhere, for food. We, as Americans, assume that we will con-tinue to produce that food, but we will need both farmers and topsoil and we're running low on both." She fears "no-till", minimum tillage agriculture with its excessive usage of herbicides and pesticides, and also warned of a "loss of soil to asphalt." Dr. Gussow called our current food producing situation "a devastating picture", and em-phasized the degree to which we already depend on other nations for food. She predicted a drastic and necessary diet change by the year 2000, which will result from a for-ced choice between •'microwaving and survival." Dr. Gussow finally stressed the "elasticity of the human species" and our ability to adapt. She urged in conclusion that the U.S., par-ticularly North Carolina, move to greater food self-sufficiency. Career Project Planned Minimum Wage Act Survives WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS)-- After a brief but heated battle, the U.S. Department of Education af-firmed last week its intent to allow students on College Work-Study financial aid programs to collect minimum wages retroactively from October 1. The new Higher Education Reauthorization Acf, passed in Sep-tember after two years of intense politicking, made work-study students eligible for the $3.10 minimum wage for the first time in history. Then a political battle erupted over when students could start getting the minimum wage. Many administrators-who had claimed giving work-study students the minimum wage would eliminate jobs for students-complained the new pay scale should not go into ef-fect until January I, 1981. Primarily because of the wage dispute, the Department of Education delayed sending out a let-ter to all colleges that explains how to implement other parts of the lan-dmark reauthorization act, which provides the guidelines which colleges must follow for the next five years. At the department. Student Special Services representative Skcc Smith confirmed the explanatory letter had been delayed, adding the "the department has acknowledged that schools will be inconvenienced (by the new wage), and that it will cost them money." But she said it was clear from the start that studen-ts would be eligible for the wage as of October 1. not January I. Consequently, work-study HEW Discussed atUNC-ASG By TAMMY MCKINNON Staff Writer Kelly Chandler reported to senate Tuesday night that Bill Starke, Mark Newton. Carol Rouse and she had attended a UNC-Association of Student Government meeting. A major look of the meeting, attended also by the sixteen system presidents, was the HEW issue. Al Sneedon. President of the Outing Club, obtained approval oa appropriations of the entire S4.300 necessary to purchase a new activity van. The club received $1000 from senate, and took the remaining $1300 from its own budget. The new van will bt available for use by any cam pus organization, at the discretion of the Outing Club. Randy Carlisle, chairperson of Social Concerns and Activities, reported on a proposed concert at Aycock on the 23rd of January. He informed senate also that the Christmas party scheduled ten-tatively December 5th is off. but it will be replaced on January 9th by a First Annual New Year's Party. Richard Roper. Chairperson of the committee on Legislation, received approval in legislative changes in the UNC-G Merchan-dising Policy. The policy now requires that any money spent on fundraising events be approved by the Appropriations chairper-son, and thai records be kept of bow fund* are spent. Roper also submitted legislature which would allow the President lo ap-point six dorm senators when and if necessary, but the change was not approved by senate. students will soon be getting an ex-tra paycheck for the hours worked since October 1 that they hadn't received $3.10 per hour. The Department of Education let-ter warns schools to deliver the ex-tra paychecks before the end of 1980. Opponents of making the wage hike retroactive were worried about more than paying the extra money to eligible students. They worry that since work-study funds are awarded as a lump sum, students will have to work fewer hours to make the same amount of money. Schools would therefore have to hire more people to work when work-study students have finished their hours. Administrators also feel that the new minimum wage will anger other workers on campus. Federal exem-ptions allow schools to pay "un-classified hourly employees" sub-minimum wages. When they suddenly find co-workers making a higher wage, "there is bound to be some disgrun-tled employees," cedes Dallas Mar-tin of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Ad-ministrators. Martin predicts that, as the result, schools will be forced lo extend the minimum wage to iheir "un-classified" employees as well. Martin, who favors the minimum wage for students, notes that the October I dale will be troublesome. "Many of these schools already have their budgets figured for the year, and we sympathize with their predicament." wage has been anticipated so long that some lobbyists were surprised that it has become an issue again. "There was never any formal at-tempt along the way to knock the provision out of the bill," recalls Joel Packer of the National Association of State Universities tnd Land-Grant Colleges. Special lo The Carolinian A year-long project designed to enhance career development and career guidance programs and materials for Greensboro and Guilford County will be coor-dinated by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, beginning in mid-November. To be known as the Guidance Team Training Program, the local project will be part of a national ef-fort in all SO states designed to im-prove career development and career guidance programs. The national effort is being funded by the U.S. Department of Education and is being conducted by the National Center for Research in Vocational Education al Ohio State University. "Bui this provision ha* been in the proposed bill for almost a year," he points out. adding thai many colleges made the switch long ago in eartcspeikm of the buT» Indeed, the U Dr. W. Larry Osborne, an associate professor of counselor education at UNC-G, wil serve as local coordinator for the program. He will preside at a public hearing on Friday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. in which the Guidance Team Training Program (GTTP) will be described in more detail. The meeting will be open to the public, and will be held in Room 11 of the McNutt Building, located at UNC-G behind Park Gymnasium at the corner of Forest and Spring Garden streets. The GTTP will include represen-tatives from the Greensboro public schools, Guilford County schools. Vocational Rehabilitation Program, the Employment Security Com-mission, Guilford Technical In-stitute, Manpower Development, the Greensboro Chamber of Com-merce, and the UNC-G Career Planning and Placement Center. These agencies already are involved in career development and career gudiance programs. "The assumption is that these existing programs can be coor-dinated better to provide a more ef fective career development emphasi' for the students and others who need these services," stated Dr. Osborne. He added that such ser-vices can be helpful to young people both in and out of school, minorities, older adults, persons with disabilities, those who change careers at mid-life and women, along with other groups in society. In addition to seeking to bring improved coordination lo existing programs, Dr. Osborne said the GTTP will study: •The objectives these programs presently have. •Other goals that could be established. •Activities which could meet these additional needs. •Ways to work together in a year-long effort to improve vocational development in Greensboro and Guilford County. "The programs in place arc ahead! doing a good job." stated Dr. Osborne "But we believe that by working together, we can better coordinate our efforts, and beyond thai, parbaai we can cotne up wnh sosne additional objectives which would further improve services in vocational development in ibis
