Earnie Shavers
Hardest Puncher?
Who’s the hardest punching
heavyweight in boxing history?
Slaving over a hot computer,
John Condon, Madison Square
Garden’s imaginative vice
president in charge of boxing,
placed the names of every
single professional
heavyweight, past and present,
into his infernal little machine
and the one who came out on
top was Shavers, who by
sheerest coincidence meets
Muhammad Ali for the title at
the Garden on September 29.
To determine who the
hardest puncher was, Condon
went solely on percentage of

computer schools.
A related problem involves
the “reverse discrimination”
attack on programs designed to
make up for past inequities in
graduate and professional
schools, such as the California
court’s Bakke ruling.
Special admissions programs
today account for an estimated
60 per cent of all Black
students attending medical and
law schools. If such programs
are ended in other schools as a
result of the U.S. Supreme
Court upholding the Bakke
ruling, educators expect a
sharp decline in Black
enrollment.
At the Harvard Business
School, which disbanded its
special committee on Black
admissions last year, first-year
Black enrollment declined to
just 30 students in 1976,
compared to 47 out of a total
of 750 students in 1972.
Even before the Bakke case,
in 1974, only 3.5 per cent of all
doctorates awarded in the
country went to U. S.-born
Blacks, and nearly 60 per cent
of those were in one field:
education. Less than one per
cent of all the post-graduate
degrees awarded went to
anoint new Black attorneys
and physicians.
A recent study by the
National Board on Graduate
Education cites financial and
motivational stresses as the
main obstacles.

knockouts in relation to total
victories, which may not be the
purest possible determining
factor but certainly is as good
as any.
Shavers, with 52 knockouts
in 54 wins, leads all
heavyweights living or dead
with a 963 percentage. George
Foreman is second with .932,
Rocky Marciano third with
.878; Joe Frazier fourth with
.843 and Jack Dempsey fifth
with .822; Down in seventh
place is Joe Louis with his
.779. How about Ali? His
.685 puts him in 10th spot.
“Upon graduation from
college,” the report says,
“immediate employment
opportunities may appear more
rewarding (to Blacks) than
advanced study in view of the
prospect of further financial
difficulties, the academic risk
of graduate studies and labor
market uncertainties.”
These root causes often are
cited to explain the serious
high school drop-out rate,
which annually disqualifies
more than seven million Blacks
between the ages of 16 and 34
from attending any kind of
college. The college entrance
exams and proficiency tests all
students face have been
attacked by various Black
oiganizations as “inherently
racist” and “rewarding social
and economic advantage more
than they measure talent.”
The Association of Black
Psychologists and the National
Education Assn, have both
called for a moratorium or
outright ban on all
standardized testing.
Even those Blacks who pass
the tests and win admission
often discover that “the college
environment is not congenial,
says Benjamin Payton, a
former Black college president
who now works on educational
issues for the Ford
Foundation.
While 20 per cent of the
whites who enroll in college
complete their degree studies,
only 9.3 per cent of the Blacks
do, according to the Census
Bureau.

Racism
Continued from page 3
compelling word pictures tell
infinitely more about the evils
of racism and the deepening
differences between black and
white life than could a
thousand arguments.
Listen to some of his timely
and human news: “...most
newspapers do not talk muqh
about (racial) incidents
now... But the minority press
does carry full coverage... A sa
result...we have two entirely
different sets of information
about life...” “We Whites have
no idea what racism does to
people.” “The more racism
succeeds, the more it damages
both the racist and his
victims.”
Classrooms, public forums
and other discussion groups
will find this remarkable book
invaluable. It places racism
historically in a Twentieth
Century perspective. It shows
racism to be unconscious and
pervasive.
The book draws its readers
into its warmly told and
gripping recollections of
human life pleading to become
itself as other human lives,
perhaps wholly without
knowing, deny and
desecrate...themselves and their
fellows. A mini classic. It
should stir us to debate...and
action.
Ethel Waters
Continued from page 1
Pa.At 14, she got her first job,
doing domestic work at $1.3 5 a
day.
She got her theatrical start
when she won an amateur
contest in a Philadelphia movie
house, singing “St. Louis
Blues.”
That started a career that
took her to Manhattan’s most
famous night clubs,
Broadway’s leading musical
shows, radio shows and movies.
Miss Waters introduced at
least 50 hit songs during her
long career. In addition to
“Stormy Weather,” she was
also widely known for her
rendition of “His Eye Is On the
Sparrow,” and “Am I Blue?”
A few years ago, she wrote
her autobiography, calling it
“His Eye Is On the Sparrow.”
Miss Waters was generous
with money, alloting 20 per
cent of her income for Black
charities alone. She adopted 12
orphan children in seven
different states.

Providing Good Service
CAMP LEJEUNE, N. C. -
When Marine reservists from
Augusta, Ga. were redesignated
a service company, they took
the change in name to heart. If
they were to be called a service
company, then they were going
to provide the best service
possible -a commitment one
would expect from the first
reserve unit to receive a
meritorious unit citation.
“We’re only 115 miles from
Parris Island, S.C. so we
conduct training there year
round, and we have field
exercises at Ft. Gordon,”
explained Chief Warrant
Officer-3 R. E. Parker.
“What we need is the

gain by working alongside
active duty Marines; we’ve only
been reorganized about a
year,” he continued.
“Since maintaining
generators is a new job for the
unit, we’re attending casses at
Piedmont Technological
College in Greenwood, S.C. on
our drill weekends,” said PFC
Adrian Dye of North Augusta,
S.C. “Here we’re using the
knowledge we gained at school
to fix combat equipment. It's
good training.”
“I was here last year as a
mechanic,” added PFC Henry
Sanders of Augusta, Ga. “But
last year we participated in the
MAUEX, a large scale reserve
field exercise, and I didn’t get
the chance to work on
equipment. During the exercise
I was a guard for the vehicles.
I’m really enjoying the work
we’re doing here. I’d rather
work on the vehicles than
guard them.”
