Sickle Cell from page 3
aware that flying in un
pressurized planes or strenuous
exercise at high altitudes over 8,-
000 feet may cause sickling.
Parents sFiould know whether
they or their marital partners
have the trait. If both parents
have the sickle cell trait each
time a child is born there is a 25
percent chance the child will
have sickle cell anemia. Anyone
with the trait can not get the
disease.
Since there are no symptoms
for the trait, it is highly
recommended that blacks
especially in the childbearing
age take the blood test to find
out whether they have the sickle
cell trait.
The Foundation of Georgia is
sponsoring the Annual
Volunteers of Sickle Cell
Celebrity Show and Banquet at

Book from page 4
Janie and Tea Cake move into
a new life together and Tea Cake
tells Janie that he wants to spend
all of his life with her. He says,
"You’s something tuh make uh
man forgit tuh git old and forgit
tuh die.”
As Janie sits on the old
southern porch in Eastonville,
Florida, she reflects back on her
life, with her old childhood
friend, Phoeby and says, "jus'
like ah told yuh. So ah’m back
home agin and ah'm satisfiedtuh
be heah. An done been to the
horizon and back and now ah kin
set heah in mah house and live
by comparisons.
Dis house ain't so absent of
things like it used tuh be befo’
Tea Cake come along. Love is lak
de sea. It’s uh movin thing, but
still and all, takes its shape from
de shore it meets and it’s
different with every shore.”
Nanny’s dream for Janie is
fulfilled, but it is done in Janie’s
own style and format; Janie does
somehow escape de white man’s
load.
Spring Arts from page 1
"P. H. Polk,” a presentation
written, filmed, and directed b>
Sidney Simmons, a Mass Com
munications instructor, is
scheduled for viewing April 29
through 30. This presentation in
cludes an interview with Sim
mons and Polk, Polk’s works of
musical backgrounds with his
voice narrating. Polk's works are
now on display at the Nexus
Photo Gallery at the Forest
Avenue Consortium through
April. Simmon’s presentation is
labeled a “working progress,”
but is completed for viewing.

Assembly from page 5
The facilities offered by these
public hospitals provide
treatment which few other hos
pitals can.
Residents from around the
state come to Grady Hospital for
burn treatment, diabetes, infant
care and other severe illnesses
which cannot be treated
elsewhere.
Wilson said that the bill sup
porters were trying to "bilk the
state treasury.”
He also said that it was special
interest legislation.
The bill passed the House
however without any
amendments by a 110-64 vote.
Perhaps the passage of the bill
was due to Rep. Dent's story
about his mother who died at
age 30 because she didn’t have
proper medical care.
Perhaps it was due to the trem
bles in Rep. Dent’s voice as he
asked the legislators not to "be
little and selfish and deny the
services that the people of
Georgia need."
Or, perhaps it was due to the
tears that Rep. Dent shed as he
proceeded to take his chamber
seat.
Editorial Letters from page 2
about some of the recent
achievements that the NAACP
has made here in Atlanta. I
would also like to indicate that
there were several Clark
students who worked with the
Atlanta branch of the NAACP on
its recent projects and that the
outcome of such work has been
very beneficial to Clark as well as
the greater black communities in
America.
Did you know that the NAACP
was heavily involved in
negotiations with theCox Broad
casting Company challenging
WSB's television license and
Cox’s plans for a merger with
General Electric Broadcasting
Company. Because of the hard
work and perserverance of the
NAACP, a new minority hiring
program was enacted by WSB TV
station. General Electric Broad
casting Co. agreed to appoint a
black, a woman, and an
"independent” individual to its
board. WSB FM radio station was
sold to a black owned firm; WSB
AM radio station was sold to
Metromedia, which agreed to
appoint a black to its corproate
board.
In addition to these changes, a
pledge of $950,000 from Cox,
General Electric, and
Metromedia was made to the
Clark College communications
program. General Electric also
agreed to contribute some $10
million to a foundation to in
crease the number of minorities
and women in broadcasting.
Aren’t these changes
beneficial to black college
students who happen to be
tomorrow’s leaders? Then why
not support organizations such
as the NAACP. They need you in
order to survive. Join today in
the hope for a more progressive
tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Yolanda E. Thompson
Dear Ms. Thompson:
The editors of the PAN
THER agree that there should
be more student input in the
Clark College Chapter of the
NAACP since we are a
predominately black
institution. We feel that moral
support is definitely needed
towards organizations, such
as the NAACP.

All ofthe panelists shared their
experiences, pitfalls and
successes in climbing the
corporate ladder. Their mes
sages were all full of wisdom, en
couragement and reality. None
of them “left any stones un
turned” in answering students'
questions.
Dr. Gloria Scott, vice-
president of Clark College, was
the speaker for the midday lun
cheon. One can only imagine
how appropriate and timely it
was to hear the first woman vice-
president in Clark’s history
speak.
The conference proved to be a
huge success. Many students left
the conference with a feeling of
pride and satisfaction that could
have only been derived by listen
ing and talking with an A-rated
group of Black professionals.
