JOE BROWN
VALDOSTA, Ga. - Being
named assistant to the dean of
students for minority affairs at
Valdosta State College is
doubtly important to Joe
Brown because he is a product
of VSC. He holds both the
bachelor of fine arts and the
master of education degrees
from the college that has
entrusted him with the
sensitive post.
“I’m a Valdostan who didn’t
set foot on campus till 1 was
24, because I had to go into
the Air Force and earn G1 Bill
privileges before I could afford
a college education,” said Dean
Brown, adding he worked as a
music. She is also writing a
book of poetry.
Presently, Miss Fuller is
employed as an announcer and
public service affairs director
of WASC Radio in
Spartanburg. She plans to
pursue a bachelors degree in
English and continue singing.
She is the daughter of Mrs.
Helen G. Fuller of Hub City
Courts in SnaHaatkna*
student lab director in the VSC
speech and drama department
to supplement his veteran’s
benefits.
“I also worked as an
inventory clerk at the VSC
warehouse, so you could call
my appointment in the Dean
of Students Office my third at
Valdosta State. And I’ve had
three years’ teaching
experience in the military and
two in public schools.”
Certified at Amarillo, Tex.,
Technical School to teach
conventional fuels. Brown
instructed airmen at several Air
Force bases in on-the-job
training sessions from 1965-68.
He taught at the Lowndes
County Association for
Retarded Citizens (LARC)
from 1973-74, and he taught
remedial math at Crisp County
Junior High School from
1975-76.
Brown sees his varied work
experience as a big phis in
counseling students at Valdosta
State.
“Actually, I am carrying a
regular counseling load to the
general population at VSC,” he
said. “Half my day is devoted
to minority students and the
rest to Student Development
work.”
Brown helps minority
students through freshman
orientation, offers them regular

AL CARTER

Administration major at Paine
College, was appointed
Regional Coordinator for the
Georgia-Florida area at the
annual convention of the
National Student Business
League held in Washington.
D.C. Sept. 23 through 26.
The objectives of the NSBL,
which was founded in 1972,
are to improve the relationship
between students and minority
businesses, increase
professionalism among
students, and to prepare them
for graduate study.
Carter’s initial goal is to set
up additional chapters in the
Georgia-Florida area and
coordinate activities. The
predominantly Black colleges
Congressional Black
Caucus Dinner A Success
Congresswoman Yvonne B.
Burke (D-Calif.) Chairperson of
the Congressional Black Caucus
called this year’s Caucus
Dinner weekend “the most
successful Caucus Dinner to
date and an expression of the
political unity and strength we
as Blacks have gained.”
The Caucus Dinner is held
each September to raise funds
to support a seven-person
legislative and research staff to
serve the 17-member Caucus.
This year, in addition to
Saturday nights’ Dinner itself,
the Caucus held a series of
legislative workshops on
Friday, a conference on the
situation in southern Africa,
and a fashion show and tennis
tournament to benefit the
newly established Caucus
internship. The theme for the
weekend was “Direction ‘76:
Political Power Through
Unity.”
Participating in the
workshops and the southern
Africa forum were some of the
top Black political,
organizational and academic
leaders. Workshops focused on
Voter Mobilization, Full
Employment, Education,
Communications, Minority
Businiss and Hosuing. and
Foreign Affairs.
Recommendations from the
workshops will be used in
formulating the Congressional
Black Caucus Legislative
Agenda for the Ist Session of
the 95th Congress. The
southern Africa conference, led
by Congressman Charles C.
Diggs (D-Mich.), issued an
“African-American Manifesto
on Southern Africa" and a
press release raising a series of
questions on recent
developments regarding
affiliate chapter. The NBL has
great impact on legislation
affecting SBA’s limits that
were increased and on
legislation affecting the
railroads’ funding and
contractual appointment to
minority firms.
For the local chapter,
Harvey Johnson serves as
executive director, Henry
Howard, board chairman, and

“The National Student
Business League will become
more vital as it ages,” Carter
said. “It will be an information
center supplying students with
data on graduate study
opportunities and career
opportunities throughout the
United States and
subsequently, increase the
mobility of Blacks in the
business world.”
Carter, a native of
Baltimore, Md., is presently on
a Presidential Scholarship at
Paine for his performance
during the spring semester
when he earned a 4.0 average
on Paine’s 4.0 scale. He is also
majority rule in Rhodesia.
At the dinner, a serious
drama on Black political
involvement over the past
century was presented.
Entitled “The Advocates
Among Us,” the show was
written by Lonnie Elder and
those appearing in it included
Roscoe Lee Brown, Rosalind
Cash, Novella Nelson, Ron
O’Neill. Brock Peters and
Esther Rolle, star of the TV’s
“Good Times”. Special guest
Ella Fitzgerald, charmed the
sell out audience of nearly
3,000 with a selection of
popular solos by Black
composers.
Congresswoman Barbara
Jordan stirred the audience
with a speech calling on Black
Americans to participate in the
elections: “You have been told
this evening that you’re going
to lift your voices and sing....
But 12 million Black
Americans don’t plan to vote
this Fall. How are they going
to lift their voices and sing?”
Many participants praised
the Caucus Dinner weekend as
the most substantive such
effort to date, and indicated
that the message that Black
people must participate fully in
the elections to have a voice in
government was now being
heard and understood across
the land.
