DON’T LOSE YOUR HEAD
Paine’s Joseph Hipp (41) appears to have literally lost his head during recent game
against Voorhees. The 6’7” center apparently got his head together and went on to
pull down 19 rebounds.

shooting of Douglas Jackson.
Nathaniel Coxon of Paine

tie the game again 25-25. Paine

of money or personal

could be satisfied. But vou
and I both know it’s much
more than that. And that’s
why it’s so difficult. Every
time I sink a basket or run
for a touchdown or hit a
home run I realize I’m
striking a blow for the
“cause.” I’m weighted
down with that knowledge.
The responsibility of help
ing to fulfill the dreams
and aspirations of my peo
ple is heavy. I’m proud to
have been given the talent
and skills to make me wor

I’m afraid. Afraid that I

such a large responsibil

A steal and lay-up by Coxon
put Paine ahead 43-37 at

In the second half, Paine fell
into a slump after Johnny

conduct.

“Equal Opportunity Employer”
No Paine-AC Series
This Year, Says Vanover
Augusta College head coach
Marvin Vanover answered some
of the comments made by
Paine coach Ernest Tolbert in
the News-Review last week. He
refused to answer other charges
saying they were
“unprofessional and unworthy
of comment.”
Vanover made his comments
in the Augusta College student
newspaper, The Bell Ringer.
Tolbert’s remarks came at a
time when the two teams were
kicking off their seasons, yet
the Paine mentor was insistent
that the series between the two
institutions be scheduled for
the current season. Vanover
told The Bell Ringer that
scheduling at this late a date is
impossible, since schedules are
made in the spring for
budgetary reasons. Vanover
also commented that the
possibility of an invitation to
the 1975 Christmas Classic has
been discussed with Paine
College officials, though no
formal invitation has yet been
issued to any schools for the
tourney.
Vanover also pointed out.
that Tolbert's apparent
approval of the on-campus
facilities at both colleges is
unrealistic, since the maximum
seating capacity at AC is about
1200, and that at Paine’s is
less. Vanover contends that
neither is capable of holding

the capacity crowd that would
be generated by such a series.
Bell Auditorium, remarked
Vanover, is completely
inadequate as a basketball
facility, and with the prospect
of a new city coliseum on the
horizon, improvements are not
forthcoming. And though the
Richmond Academy gym is
available on a limited basis,
Vanover said that many people
here have objected to the
college having to play games in
a high school gym.
On the issue of the NCAA
status of AC - while Paine
remains in the NAIA - Vanover
said that the NCAA urges its
member schools to schedule as
large a number of NCAA rivals
as possible. This, added
Vanover, is the result of a
natural rivalry between the two
sanctioning bodies.
In the N-R article Tolbert was
quoted as saying that he had
been invited to speak at AC,
but Vanover flatly denied ever
issuing such an invitation,
remarking that there has been
“no occasion” for such an
invitation.
Vanover was reluctant to
offer comment on many of the
allegations in the News-Review
article, saying only that he
considered Tolbert’s remarks
“unprofessional and unworthy
of comment.”

Resources (DHR). Aggravated
by rising unemployment and
inflation, these problems have
become even more apparent
over the last few weeks as
shown by an increase in the

public assistance applications.

public assistance, food stamps

’ Today / A
<* -W-
ASTROLOGY FOR DECEMBER 1-7:
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) - You may have to bum the candle
at both ends for work during most of this cycle. You can be
asked to do things that are really not in your province but for
whom there is no one better than you to act.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 20) - You are very enthusiastic about
Christmas, especially if you have children. You want to get busy
and buy, buy, buy for them. But it won’t do. You are inundated
with debts and can have a difficult time even just imagining such
expenditures. Calm it down.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 21) - You May feel very youthful this
week and get a lot done that otherwise might have to wait. It is a
good time to buy something or take something youthful and
precious into your life - such as a tiny puppy to care for all the
time.
CANCER (June 22 - July 22) - You will have plenty of spirit
coming around quite early, but don’t get rebellious and excessive.
Go along with the family, rather than expecting them to yield to
your wishes, which are not really healthy or reasonable.
LEO (July 23 - August 23) - You may not be at home much this
week and your lifemate or family can be quite loney for you. Try
to keep in touch by phone or letter. You may be on an important
business mission and will be quite successful.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 22) - Keep your mind on your
work and you’ll win something you want. Concentration is just
about everything now. If single, a romance may enter your life in
a new way and you can be at the same time pleased and
provoked. You are not quite satisfied with the appearance of
your new love.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22) - You have a problem
connected with home life, perhaps with pets. Don't waste too
much time with this; it isn’t worth it. Just do what must be done
and forget about it. Your home is dear to you now, so keep it
spic and span.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 22) - You may think you
know your own mind about love, but this may not be the case at
all. You can give up one person to start going with another, but
before the month is over you may wish things were back as they
were formerly.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) - You can become
angry with a friend who does something you disapprove of. You
also have suspicions about this friend being deceptive and perhaps
undermining your reputation in talk with others.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) - You may spend
much on gifts for friends but not enough for relatives. You tend
to take certain people too much for granted. Try to get your
mind straightened a little bit about people and you won’t be so
harsh in conclusions.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) - Do shopping early.
Don’t buy anything for one you do not trust -- just send a card.
Entertain in a small way this week. Get new ideas for Christmas
and how you want to celebrate it at home. Avoid worrying about
companionship. You’ll be kept busy.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) - You are in such a silent and
morose state that you can scarcely bear the approaching holidays
and don’t want to buy presents at all. You may send cash gifts to
a few people and that’s about it. If married you may have to go
along with Christmas plans of a life mate but won’t do it with
good grace.
0 If You're Looking*
For Integrity,
.Service And Value;
Who you buy a car from is
just as important as what
you buy. When you buy
VW, you know you’re
buying the best. And when
you buy from us, you buy
more honest effort and a
greater desire to satisfy than
anywhere else.

Mentally
Retarded
Defended By
Justice Dept,
The Department of Justice
sought today to join in a
private suit to establish the
constitutional rights of
residents of a state institution
for the mentally retarded near
Philadelphia to proper care and
treatment.
Attorney General William B.
Saxbe said a motion to
intervene as a plaintiff in
H ALDERMAN VS.
PENNHURST STATE
SCHOOL & HOSPITAL was
filed in U.S. District Court in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The class action suit, filed
on May 30, 1974, charged that
the 1,450 residents of the
Pennhurst State School and
Hospital at Spring City have
suffered substantial
deprivations of their
constitutional rights. The suit
was brought by the
Philadelphia Mental Patients
Civil Liberties Project and nine
parents.
A proposed Justice
Department suit also submitted
to the court said the institution
officials had failed to recruit
and hire sufficient qualified
professional personnel to carry
out a minimal program of
treatment or to establish
individualized programs for the
Pennhurst residents.
The proposed suit said
officials had failed to provide
decent and humane living
conditions and to keep
Pennhurst residents free from
harm.
In addition, the proposed
suit said officials had failed to
prevent the administration of
excessive amounts of
tranquillizing drugs to patients
over extended periods of time.
The request to intervene said
the Justice Department could
assist the court in developing
issues and facts and present
expert witnesses.
If permitted to become a
party to the private suit, the
Justice Department will ask
that the court enjoin the
officials from engaging in
unconstitutional and unlawful
acts.
The Department also will
ask that the defendants be
required to provide treatment
and care conforming to
standards developed by the
court.
Assistant Attorney General
J. Stanley Pottinger, head of
the Civil Rights Division, said
the Justice Department has
filed suits to obtain reforms in
state facilies for the retarded in
Maryland and Montana.
