The anthology is a collection of the finest poetry written by the college men and women of America. Selections were made from entries submitted by thousands of students from very state in the country. Women in the U.S.S.R. By Lenora Carter PUBLISHER HOUSTON FORWARD TIME Our tour of the Soviet Union (Russia) was a very educational ex perience. In our country we have been raging about Women’s Lit, we speak of freedom, Civil Rights and Equal Rights. On this trip we witnessed all four, black women have always been liberated, therefore we have something in common with the women of the soviet union. Before the revolution in 1917 Russia was ruled by Czars, but after the revolution it was like a new day for the people. It put an end to poverty, unemployment and inequality. During the revolution approximately 20 million men were lost in war. This forced the women to take on quite a responsibility as far as being the head of many households. Women in the Soviet Union have very little time to spend at home with their families, but they are encouraged to many children hoping for male babies. When a mother have more than ten children she is called mother hero and given many prizes in cluding bonuses. For maternity leave they are given four months with pay, if she has twins or if she has any complication she get additional time off. They work side by side with men in fields, factories, cleaning streets, parks, hotels, driving buses and trains. Unfortunately we came in contact with very few women on person to person basis in conversation to ask their feelings about the working conditions and how they felt about the responsibility of carry WANTED NEWS BOYS Good Pty CALL News-Review Office 722-4555 Violence divides.

We were greeted by a charming young lady who was chief engineer of the plant. There were a total of over 5,000 employees with approximately 60 percent female and 40 male.

Simmons. women started in the same department as the young women where the work load is heavy and you have to be alert and fast to operate the machines, but as you grow older instead of early retirement they move you into an area where the work load is much lighter and easier. On the grounds of the factory there area total of three large nurseries for the working mothers of the mill. They pay for the service according to how much they make per month and how many children you have. The more children you have the less you pay. This amount could range from 6 to 8 rubles.

School teachers average pay is 160 - 170 rubles per month. Those ladies working in the fields are paid the same as men if they are doing the same job.

Bell Until this movie, I felt that the film industry was really doing us in. With our Black brothers and sisters writing and directing the scripts, unlike “Super Fly”, and all the rest of the long, rapid line of Black exploitation films, “The Spook Who Sat by the Door” is really driving a clean, positive message home. Black director Ivan Dixon of Hogan Heroes fame must be commended for a superb product. The film is based on a novel by Sam Greenlee of the same title. Mr. Greenlee assisted with the screenplay and I believe this fact contributes greatly to the fine quality of this film. Lawrence Cook plays the leading role. And what a lead he plays. Unlike “Super Fly” “Hit Man” and other hustler-type films. He doesn’t wear his hair in any European manner or dress in an “over hip” fashion. Even his role with the Black prostitute is one I must commend him for. Cook plays one Black from 50 who through hard determination and constant persistence modes the CIA against their effort to keep them out. He later quits and returns to the ghettos of Chicago where he teaches CIA type tactics to the Brothers. This is where the excitement begins. I recommend this movie to all mature Black audiences.
