Pell is at it again
On Sept 3, college football of
ficially opened its season at Giants
Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
It was a grand opening as last years
champions, the Miami Hurricanes,
were to defend their crown against
this year’s No. 1 rated Auburn
Tigers.
It was a good game and Miami
proved that they still had
something to say when it came to
who’s No. 1.
While the Hurricanes and Tigers
were locking horns in the
Meadowlands under a beautiful
moonlit night, stormy clouds were
hanging over yet another NCAA
major college football program.
Coach Charlie Pell and his
Florida “Gators” had been ac
cused of violating over 107 of the
NCAA’s rules. Now where have I
heard of that name before?
Oh, yes! He’s the same coach
who left Clemson Univ, and the
same stormy cloud was last seen in
South Carolina moving to Florida.
The NCAA infractions ranged
from spying by assistants, to
players receiving cash bonuses
from interested people outside the
school. George Steinbrenner,
owner of the New York Yankees,
was mentioned as possibly being
one of the outside interests.
What is happening here! How
could a football program commit
over 107 infractions against
NCAA rules. I’ll tell you how.
Many of the infractions are still
commonplace; there are too many
rules to follow.
Coaches have always com
plained of not even knowing when
a rule has been broken. The
NCAA has too small a staff to try
Blacks in Western art
a changing image
A photographic exhibition
called “The Image of the Black in
Western Art” will be on view in
the Paine College Odeum from
Sept. 15 through Oct. 7.
The show consists of 106 color
and black and white photographs
of original sculptures, paintings
and artifacts spanning the time of
the Pharaohs through the
Renaissance.
Organized by the Menil Foun
dation and the Institute for the Ar
ts, Rice University, Houston, TX,
the exhibition is based on extensive
research conducted by the foun
dation, and highlights the place
held by the African in the
imagination and imagery of the
Western World.
Subjects included in the
exhibition range from Early Egyp
tian Portrait heads through
representations of the Adoration
of the Magi by such artists as Hans
Memling and Hieronymous Bosch.
A series of works depicts the
legend of the Black St. Maurice,
protector of the Holy Roman em
pire.
One of the more bizarre exam
ples is a reproduction of “The
Miracle of the Black Leg,” a late
15th century Austrian painting
depicting a white man whose life
was saved by Saints Cosmos and
Damian who amputated his
gangrenous leg and replaced it with
one from the corpse of a Black
man.
The exhibit was arranged
through the Smithsonian In
stitution Traveling Exhibition Ser
vice (SITES), which organizes and
circulates exhibitions on art,
history, and science to institutions
in the U.S. and abroad. SITES is
conducting a three-year national
tour of this particular show.
The exhibition is open to the
public on Mondays through
Fridays from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m.,
Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and
Sundays, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

to police all of its member schools.
Many of the infractions are dep
rooted into the system the
“everybody-does-it” syndrome.
Then there is the questions of fines
for violators. Many have referred
to the punishment for violators as
a “slap onthe wrist.” It seems that
the NCAA’s strongest weapon
against the violators is taking away
their television rights.
We all know that a strong
program can survive without T.V.
rights.
Just ask schools like South
Carolina State, Grambling, Alcorn
and others who have managed to
sustain strong programs without
television contracts.
Perhaps it is the amount of
money that is causing problems.
The more they make, the more
they spend, and how the money is
spent is what seems to upset most
people.
You tell me how a good athlete
from a poor family goes to a major
institution and performs well can
suddenly afford to live off cam
pus, and ride around in new sport
cars. The kid takes two pairs of
jeans and three shirts to school and
comes home Christmas wearing
S2OO dollar gold chains around his
neck, a Polo on his chest and
Calvin Kleins on his behind. If
there is some tooth-fairy hanging
out in the practice field, I have a
few I’d like to give him.
Where is it all going to end? Un
til the NCAA is prepared to make
the punishment fit the crime, there
is no end. I wonder who’ll be
next? 107 will be hard to beat, but
as they say at Avis, “We try har
der.”

Blacks suffer ‘fflusion of inclusion’
PENSACOLA, FLA. “ln
America, 95 percent of the wealth
is controlled by 5 percent of the
people,” said Judge Alcee Hasting
as he spoke recently before a very
enthusiastic crowd gathered at the
Pensacola Hilton for a $25 a plate
dinner hosted by the Florida State
Voters League.”
“And all of us in this room are
not in the 5 percent. We have been
excluded. We are talking about
the wealth of America collectively.
“/Ml the doctors, lawyers and In
dian chiefs, Black or white, in this
room can not add up to one tenth
of one percent of the 5 percent that
dominates the wealth of this coun
try,” he stated. “In the final
analysis we end up supporting this
5 percent which means that we are
cutting off our nose to spite our
face”.
Judge Hasting praised many in
the audience for their support
when he was under severe attack
during his court trial, especially
Les Humphrey.
“He’s my friend and I say that
Coverage for religious groups
WASHINGTON Religious
organizations now have a one-time
opportunity to opt out of Social
Security coverage.
The law affects such employees
as the teacher in a church-related
secondary school, or a church
secretary of janitor.
Rep. Doug Barnard notified
10th District churches of the
change in a letter mailed this week.
“Mandatory Social Security
coverage was originally extended
to church employees in 1983, but
this July, legislation was signed
that gave them the chance to
exempthemselves,” Barnard said.
The measure allows a church to
drop out of the system if it is op
posed to participation on religious
grounds. The change came about,

with an abundance of pride. When
I was down he didn’t think that I
was so down that it was not vital
that the people see what happens in
this political orocess,” he said.
Judge Hasting talked about the
“Illusion of Inclusion.” “We have
three levels in our society. Level
one is that 5 percent I spoke of
earlier where 95 percent of the
wealth is controlled by 5 percent of
the people. The Hunt’s and
Rockefeller’s are in that category.
Level two are the professional
jpeople, judges, doctors, lawyers,
“From time to time level one
people must remind level two
people that they are not level one
by giving a $1 thousand a plate
dinner. Now how many ofyou
level two people out there can “Up
$1 thousand? By “Up’J, I mean
afford to pay $1 thousand a plate
for a dinner. (When you owe the
brother on the streets some money
and when they see you they say
“up the duckies, Bro.”) Now this
is done diliberately to insure and
assure that you do not attend these
Barnard explained, because some
religious organizations argued that
forced Social Security coverage
was an unconstitutional mingling
of church and state.
If a religious organization
chooses not to be covered by Social
Security, however, the employees
will then have to pay a higher
Social Security tax as though they
were self-employed.
Barnard said that religious
organizations must make their
choice by Oct. 30, and must file
that decision with the IRS. The
new las does not affect ministers,
who have never been required to be
under Social Security coverage.
The new law also does not affect
witholding of wages for income tax
purposes.
