UNCF campaign in gear
The United Negro College
Fund campai<m eoal ha’
increased almost five times
since the campaign resumed on
a yearly basis in 1975. The goal
in 1975 was SII,OOO. This
year, the UNCF goal in
Augusta is $50,000.
Paine College holds the
UNCF campaign each year in
order to receive UNCF funds.
About $12,500 or 25 percent
of the money Paine raises this
year, will be given to the
national organization. In
return, UNCF will give Paine
approximately $150,000.
The money UNCF raises
supports the 41-member
colleges, seven of which are in
Georgia. Carl Ware, vice
president-Special Markets, of
Coca-Cola, USA, stressed the
importance of education at the
UNCF kickoff luncheon in
Augusta last Thursday.

the Augusta City Police on
April 3.

Girl reported

Johnnie Leigh Hampton, 14,
of 535 Fairhope St., Augusta,
was reported missing on April
6, according to Augusta Police
Department records.
Miss Hampton, who is 4
feet, ten inches tall, weighs 105
pounds, and has a short black,
afro hairstyle, left her mother’s
Fairhope St. residence on
Friday, April 4, and has not
been seen since.
Her mother reported to

blue jeans, blue sweater with a
matching pullover hood, and
black suede shoes.
Anyone knowing of her
whereabouts is encouraged to
contact the Augusta Police
Department or the
News-Review office.
Two stores hit
by ‘cool’ thieves
Summer must be upon us.
Two local furniture
companies have reported the
theft of air conditioning units
recently.
Maxwell Furniture
Company, 1114 Broad St., said

Westside band

The Westside High School
Symphonic band received a

and sight reading at the 10th

Washington, Ga.
The Westside band is the
first band in Richmond County

other than a social liability,”
he said.
The traditionally black
colleges that are members of
UNCF offer education to those
who might be unable to afford
it otherwise. Approximately 40
percent of the students at
UNCF colleges come from
families which earn less than
$5,000 a year. Almost 75
percent of the students at these
colleges have families which
earn less than SIO,OOO
annually. Funds from UNCF
enable these students to attend
college by keeping tuition low
and providing funds to be used
in other areas of special need at
each of the colleges.
“During the 1950 s and
19605, blacks struggled for a
chance to ride the bus,” Ware
said. During tire 19705, blacks
fought to drive the bus. During
the 1980 s, blacks will strive to
own the bus, or at least
following an alleged forced
entry by Gilmore. According
to police records, Gilmore
entered tire Williams’ home
demanding to see Williams'
mother, and indicated that he
might have a weapon, which
later proved to be a
microphone in his pocket.
One shot was fired, critically
wounding Gilmore in the upper
left chest. He is a patient at
gunman on April 3 as he was
closing his store. Telling the
gunman that he had no money
didn’t work either, because
Ashley was struck on the head
by the robber.
The attempted robber, in his
early 20s, is being sought by
Augusta police.

determine where it will go,
Ware said. Education, he
stated, will play in important
part in this process.
Black colleges are the
backbone of black society,
Ware continued. They must be
preserved as other ethnic
institutions. Black colleges are
part of the multi-racial,
international community.
However, the doors of black
colleges are open to everyone,
regardless of race, color,
national and ethnic origin. In
fact, the predominately black
college is one of the few places
where “whites can learn what
it feels like to be minority,”
Ware said.
The UNCF drive at Paine
College will continue through
June. Joseph Rogers, general
chairman of the Augusta
campaign, says $10,900
hasbeen raised toward the goal
thus far.

Masters here,
clubs missing
Not all golfers who come to
the Masters are fully equipped,
apparently.
Ms. Charity Bennett
Steeling, 2234 Huntington
Road, reported a set of golf
clubs valued at S3BO stolen
from her carport on April 3.
