We must work hard to see that
educators when they retire will
be the recipients ol a
retirement benefit that will
sustain them without
worrying, for the rest ol their
lives. "We have an obligation to
protect the retirement benefits
of our retired educators, he

and a beginning teacher salarv
of $12,000 per y ear not later
than 1983. Even though some
local systems pay more than
the beginning state teacher

this end would probably be
willing to make a sacrifice. He
further stated that if any group
ol people in this country
received an increase in salary of
mon than 7% thin the
teachers of Georgia who have
always worked for poverty
salaries, always sacrificed, and
always been overworked and
underpaid, must be the first to
receive a higher than 7%
increase.
Dr. Tate concluded his
remarks by stating that all
educators in this stale must be
allowed to hold membership in
the Style Teachers’ Retirement
■''-tern and that by 1981 all
educators should Ire able to
retire with full benefits after
working 25 years and that by
1988 full benefits should be
available to teachers after
having worked 20 years.
Relating to the pupil-teacher
ratio, he staled that in order to
have a profound effect upon
the students attending our
schools no teacher should be
forced to teach mon- than 15
students in a class and that the
Association must make every
effort to see that classes have
no mon- than 15 students to
om- teacher.

Albany State back
is No. 1 in interceptions
SH AWNEE MISSION, Kan.
- Berry Gordy, Albany State
College’s outstanding defensive
back, is tied for the No. I spot
in the nation for pass
interceptions, according to the
statistics released here by the
NCAA Statistics Service
Bureau.
Gordy, a 5’10”, 160-pound
junior who plays the strong
safety position in the Rams
three-deep secondary, has
plucked off eight interceptions
Blacks in spotlight
Continued from Page 3
airports obscure the fact that
there are thousands of Black
actors and actresses denied
employment because they
don’t possess celebrity name
and status. A TV executive
admitted that an advertiser’s
sales depend on the public
“identifying” with the
product’s on-camera
representative.
TV is, of course, America’s
glamor medium, so it might be
expected that selectivity in
hiring of minorities would be a
persistent issue. But could this
also be said of the operations
of radio networks?
The problem for Blacks in
radio boils down to one simple
thing: absence of ownership.
Radio stations yearly reap
millions from broadcasting
“soul music, while Blacks
control virtually none of the
product Blacks own 51
commercial stations nationally,
in contrast to the more than
8,000 white-owned stations.
The deteriorating situation
for Blacks in the commercial
media has prompted many to
explore the possibilities of
employment and access in the
public or non-commercial
media outlets. A few public
networks such as the
independent Pacifica stations
have recently made gains in
Black employment. Black
managers and program
directors have been hired at
Pacifica stations in Berkelv and
Houston.
This positive trend has not
carried over to those public
stations, both TV and radio,
funded by the government
-supported Corporation for
Public Broadcasting. National
Public Radio, which airs news
and views programs daily over
thousands of stations across
the country, has only one
Black correspondent. He serves
as part of the nationai/inter
national news team, with the
primary charge of covering
African affairs.
If tokenism is the order in
TV and radio, their are still
in nine games this season for an
average of 0.9 interceptions per
game. This ranks him in a
virtual three-way tie with Bill
Grantham, Missouri at Rolla;
and Frank Rogers of (Jal State
at Hay wood for the lead in the
NCAA Divisiou II rank--.
A native of Sandersville,
Georgia, Gordy, a regular since
his freshman year at Albany
State, has a career total of 11
interceptions.
large numbers of newspapers
that don’t offer even that. A
study by the American Society
of Newspaper Editors found
that fully 88 percent of U.S.
newspapers with circulations
under 10,000 employed no
minority reporters. Other
survey findings showed:
*ll minority members of
management out of the
thousands of editors employed
by newspapers;
* expenditures for
scholarship and training
programs for prospective
minority journalists decreased
from $225,00 to $115,000
between 1972 and 1977;
*and only four percent of
the editors and reporters of the
newspapers surveyed were
minority.
Not surprisingly , the lack of
Blacks in the media hasseverly
limited coverage of news and
events from the Black
community. White editors,
either through ignorance or
disinterest, often confine their
coverage of the Black
community to stereotyped
reporting of crime or
entertainment events.
Moreover, there is the
additional problem of biased
reporting which continues to
creep into the media’s style.
“Forced busing,” “reverse
discrimination,” “whites
massacred,” are loaded terms
used again and again by
reporters and announcers in
describing the day’s events.
With affirmative action
under attack, and federal and
state agencies increasingly
reluctant to “tamper” with trie
media, the chances of reversing
what the Urban Leagues
Vernon Jordan labels “the new
negativism” as it affects the
media seem remote. Robert
Maynard, chairman of the
Institute for Journalism
Education, noted that
newspapers are no longer
looking for minority
journalists. “It’s not an issue of
supply,” he said. “It’s an issue
of demand.”
Victory and defeat
by Alvin Pierce
The T.W. Josev High School
Varsity Football team proved
victorious as it defeated
Screven (bounty.
In the first quarter, Richard
Dykes threw a 37-yard
touchdown pass to Clinton
“T.C.” Edwards; the field goal
attempt was successful, kicked
by Eddie Fowler. Next Stanley
Clark (who couldn’t believe it)
picked up a fumble and scored
for the Eagles off a 22-yard
fumble recover)'.
And again Eddie Fowler
kicked a successful field goal.
Then out of nowhere came
Gregory ‘"Steal Cage” Makie
who angrily and blindly ran
not one but two outstanding
touchdowns without any
trouble, (of course he only had
to run about J yard to score).
GEE! But the play of the night
was when Don “Lightning”
Lewis interrupted a Screven
County pass and out
maneuvered nine Screven boys
who had the nerve to trv and
stop him, much less run him
down.
Lewis ran over 70 yards to
score our final touchown
leaving the field with a score of
49-17. Other touchdowns
included Richard Dykes arid
“Mr. Fantastic” Leroy
Qurrales.

EEOC chairperson Eleanor
Holmes Norton says the

“The basic social policy
behind law enforcement is to

keep us from suing them by
adopting voluntary affirmative

illustrated by an agreement
between the New York Times
Co. and a group of women who
had charged sex discrimination.
Wh i1 c denying any
wrongdoingk the Times agreed
to pay $350,000 and start an
affirmative action program.
Harriet Raab, the attorney for
the women, says the suit
forced the newspaper to
change its hiring practices.
In 1970 and I 971, she said,
only 6 percent ol the editors
and reporters hired were
female. In 1973, the year after
formal charges were made, 47
percent of reporters and
editors hired were female. But
the plan to set hiring goals for
women may not go
unchallenged. Recently, a
white male reporter al the St.
Louis Post Dispatch filed a
complaint ol “revers,
discrimination with the EEOC
and a woman was selected for
the paper’s Washington bureau.
The llurrv of complaints by
white males reflects a mood of
resistance to affirmative action
fueled by intense competition
for increasingly scarce desirable
jobs. Efforts to ‘‘deregulate’
affirmative action also reflect
the public’s mistrust of
government bureaucracy and
intervention.
But proponents of
affirmative action urge that
racism and sexism are very real
elements in 'he selection
process. Government pressure,
they contend, is essential in
guaranteeing equal
opportunities for minorities in
an extremely tight job market.
