SGA And Miss Clark Elections- Vote April 22 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 the Peachtree Plaza Hotel Ballroom on April 26 at 6 pm. Expected to co-host the banquet is Monica Kaufman, co - an- chorperson, WSB Channel 2. A fashion show and slide presen tation is also expected to be •shown. Tickets are on sale for $25 per person. All proceeds will go to the Sickle Cell Foundation. For further information contact Dionne Lee, Chairperson, Volunteers for Sickle Cell, at 885- 7466 or 876-6889.

Approximately 240 hours of programming will be provided by the service monthly. Motion pictures (12 to 15 a month) still too new to be aired on regular television will be shown uninterrupted and uncut. Current movies such as "In vasion of the Body Snatchers,” "The Wiz,” and "Saturday Night Fever” will be available. The Atlanta Cable Television Network, however, will not telecast X-rated movies. Attached to the system will be a device for the purpose of emergencies. In the case of a cardiac arrest, the device (at the push of a button) will alert the hospital and para-medics. The device will also automatically alert the fire department if a fire occurs and contact the police in the event of a robbery. Cable Atlanta will operate out of five locations, one central 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.

Take advantage of the Spring Arts Festival and feel a sense of belonging. “This festival is an outstanding arts event throughout Atlanta,” said Dr. Robinson, “and the public is en couraged to attend.” Ad mittance is free of charge. center with a studio control room and four other locations with similar facilities (called Neighborhood Access Centers). Panelists for the discussion were Clinton Deveaux - Cable Atlanta Television Advisory Board, Shirley Franklin - Com missioner, Department of Cultural Affairs, Haynes - Cable Atlanta, Susan Korn - Cable News Network, Ben Whitley - Home Box Office and Moderator - Ben Davis - President of Access Atlanta, the sponsor of the discussion. 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.
