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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Dr. W. Larry Osborne, an
associate professor of counselor

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

and Spring Garden streets.
The GTTP will include represen-tatives
from the Greensboro public

the Employment Security Com-mission,
Guilford Technical In-stitute,
Manpower Development,
the Greensboro Chamber of Com-merce,
and the UNC-G Career

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
