Frank Dileo declined to specify the amount Jackson would donate and said, at the singer’s request, the sum will never be revealed. In July, at the beginning of Jackson’s current tour with his brothers, the singer promised to donate his share of proceeds to charity. Since then, he has been criticized in the media for failing to identify those charities. Black African bishop wins Nobel Peace Prize Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutu, Tuesday named the winner of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize, has waged a tight rope battle against apartheid in South Africa by balancing a churchman’’: hatred of violence with a politician’s pragmatism. Believing that international pressure on South Africa is “the only option left to Blacks,’’Tutu has pushed foreign governments and corporations to use their economic influence to improve conditions for South African Blacks. And he has openly criti cized President Reagan’s policy of constructive engagement, which advocated quiet, low pressure diplomacy with the South African government. Throughout his six years as secretary-general of the South African Council of Churches, Tutu has become his country’s most daring and visible spokesman against apartheid. He has raised his voice against the government’s forced removal of hundreds of Blacks into resettlement areas and has criticized a new South African constitution as “an elaborate hoax”. In awarding the prize in Oslo, the five-member Norweigian Nobel Committee stressed the im portance of Tutu’s role as a unifying figure in the campaign to overcome apartheid, as South Africa’s legalized system of racial segregation is called. Tutu, 53, said in New York, where he is a visiting professor at the General Theological Seminary, that he would accept the $190,000 award on behalf of “all those who have been involved in the liberation struggle, working for a new society in South Africa.” Tutu said Tuesday that the award is a symbol of the ultimate victory in his struggle against apar theid. He said he would travel to Johannesburg later Tuesday to “go and celebrate with the people” Stye Augusta •Neuis-llteuuui James Brown takes new bride The ‘Godfather of Soul’, James Brown, was “on the good foot” when he walked out of the Aiken County Probate Court recently with his new bride, Adrianne Modell Rodriguez. Several of Brown’s relatives, in cluding his mother and a cousin, were on hand to witness Brown, 51, betrothed to Ms. Rodriguez, 34. She was lovely in a beige chif fon dress with a hat to match. Following the 10-minute ceremony, an overjoyed Brown paused to sign autographs for fans. The newlyweds, who met during a taping of Brown’s guest Along with the United Negro College Fund, the other organizations that will benefit from Jackson’s largesses are Camp Good Times, a year-round camp for terminally ill children, and the T.J. Martell Foundation for leukemia and cancer research at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York. The heads of the three charities attended a ne.ws conference at a video recording sound stage in of South Africa. He also said he would travel with his family to Oslo to accept the prize. The prize “is a kind of sacrament, a wonderful symbol that, despite all appearances to the contrary, we will make it.” Tutu said. When he received word of the prize from a Norweigian diplomat, the tiny impish-looking prelate said with a laugh, “My wife and I were pinching each other” with surprise. “It is a tremendous political statement that has been made,” Tutu said, “that those who oppose apartheid are in the same light as Black mayors to push five T’s TUSKEGEE, Ala. - The Five T’s, a concept developed through the National Conference of Black Mayors, became the focal point of the first annual summit conference of the World conference of Mayors sponsored recently by Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. The Five T’s are trust, trade, tourism, technology and twin cities. They represent the five common goals of some 200 mayors from around the world who are members of the organization. “It is within these five areas we hope to develop common strateges around the world in the furtheran ce of our international goals”, said Tuskegee Mayor Johnny Ford, who serves as president ot me World Conference of Mayors.

October 20,1984 Discrimination follows Augustan to Africa by Mallory K. Millender Dr. Cynthia Butler Omololu has gone a long way since she left Agnes Street in Augusta, where she is once again living with her mother. She married a Nigerian and went home to live in mother Africa, but she has found that she is severely discriminated against there as a woman, and sometimes is not free in her own home. “You’re not free in your own kitchen because your mother-in law or sister-in-law could come in and bring their maid or use my maid. You’re not in control. You want to be able to dictate your kitchen at least.” “I am their wife. The mother runs the son’s home. And you’ve got to be mighty powerful to fight your mother-in-law. And if you get into it with her, you’re also in Watch for sick Republican The News-Review has learned from a reliable source that a Republican candidate for the County Commission, who is not doing well in the polls, plans to get sick or whatever necessary to withdraw from the race just before the election. The result would be a postponement of the elec tion. To finish out the scenario, a Republican on the County Com mission who is running for the State House, if he loses, will come back and run for the vacant Coun ty Commission seat created by the “sick” Republican. Linda Beasley, head of the Richmond County Board of Elections, told the News-Review that she “got a drift” of the plot two or three weeks ago, and that it is within the law. She cited Election Code 21-2-134 which Recount leaves mayor’s race unchanged A recount Tuesday of the ballots in the Oct. 10 mayor’s election in creased Mayor-elect DeVaney’s vote total by 4 and Second Ward Councilman Wille H. Mays 111 by seven. Mays requested the recount after missing a runoff with DeVaney by 156 votes. DeVaney had 50.7 per cent of the votes to Mays’ 42.3 percent. City Council woman Inez Wylds had 5.8 percent and realtor J.W. Spence had 1 percent. Mays expressed concern over the fact that 229 ballots were in- Less than 75 percent Advertising A Dr. Cynthia Butler Omololu Editorial states that “A vacancy occurring in any party nomination (filled by a primary) for a public of fice for which a candidate must qualify with the County Executive Com mittee by reason of death, disqualification or withdrawal of any can didate; therefore, oc curing after the nomination, shall be filled by a substitute nomination made by a special primary to be held not later than the 14th day after the scheduled date of election for which the deceased or with drawn individual was a candidate.”' So it is lawful to pull such a stunt. But it is also an abuse of the public trust. Such can didates demonstrate a willingness to waste the tax-payers money for their own selfish ends, and are unworthy to hold public office. validated in the lower four wards where he took more than 72 per cent of the votes cast. In addition to filing for a recount of the votes, Mays filed a petition to contest the results. DeVaney said after the recount that things wen “much as I an ticipated.” Mays said that his request for a recount did not suggest that there was wrongdoing, but that he “would have been derelict” not to have asked for the recount. trouble with the boy.” A 1967 graduate of Paine College. Dr Omolou earned a masters and a Ph.D. in psychology at the University of Georgia. But she has learned that achievement doesn’t always pay. “I always had the perception that the sky was the limit if you worked hard, and the sky was not the limit for a woman there. “You’re not supposed to stand out. If you do, you’re supposed to be knocked down like a nail. And I would say, ‘You’re not going to knock me down with a hammar’ (while the blood oozed out of my ears).” The equivalent of an associate professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Lagos, she says she has had to work 10 times as hard as every one else. She received two promotions in five years, but said her department chairman “didn’t want to see a woman rise that fast.” The department chairmanship rotated and she could have become the head of the department. “He was threatened and it was very im portant for him to keep me down. She was promoted by the University of Lagos Senate which overruled the department head. Dr. Omololu says she has always been achievement oriented. While she was a student at Paine, she majored in philosophy and religion Ibecause everybody in the depart ment had Ph. D’s and “I wanted to be around people who had at tained.” Her professors, Dr. Cecelia Sheppard and Dr. Roy Delamotte had Ph. D’s from Yale. Dr. Marcus Gayton had his Ph.D. from Emory. After graduating from Paine, she studied German at Haverford College. Then she went to Pamona in Clairmont California where students had “maids, private baths and very elegant food.” After Pamona she went to UCLA where she started meeting lots of Africans. “There were Africans at Paine, but they were ugly, just inferior, and had a very negative image. Now they are coming over here and taking all the girls back.” She said the African students were very political and she was “very impressed” by their in telligence. And she found them to be very patriarchial. “I believe that deep down, most women want to be taken care of, and African men certainly give you that image. “They are not threatened by your success because, to them, you’re nothing but a woman and never will be. And a womman has status anyway.” “I went into Nigerian society as a wife of the population. And their view is, ‘You must not have anything going for you or you wouldn’t be here in the first place.” One of the things she is proudest of is the program she started for women in Nigeria. Now that the program is successful, she said, “the provost has appointed a man to head it. Os course, I’m his assistant.” Dr. Omololu is the author of one book, “Three Women in Lagos”, and has another in progress. She also is a member of Who’s Who in Nigeria. She will be in Augusta for a year, lecturing and working in private practice as a clinical psychologist. 30C
