WHY & HOW
The News-Review is a brand new newspaper. It has no
relationship with any other newspaper past or present. We
feel that there is a need for another newspaper in the
Central Savannah River Area because there is a significant
amount of newsworthy information, particularly news
that would be of interest to Blacks, that is not being
printed. We would like to make it indisputably clear that
we intend to serve the total community but we want it
equally clear that we have a particular concern for the
Black community.
We would further like to emphasize that our goal is
communication. We feel that only when people
understand each other can they move toward a
meaningful relationship wherein the differences of each
individual are respected and the dignity of all is insured.
In order to achieve this goal we plan to feature
interviews with persons shaping the destiny of our
community. We will seek to interview the mayor, the
chief of police, the sheriff, leaders of organizations and
institutions so that you may know their answers to
questions that concern you. We will also have an ‘action
line”. This will be a service by which you can write to
the New Review about a problem. We will get in touch
with the person(s) responsible for knowing the answers,
and we will print your question and their answer. Be
sure to include your name and address. We will print
only your initials, but we must have your name and
address for our records.
We are setting our rates at prices we feel that everyone
can pay. We want you to support this paper, and we want
you to feel that this is your newspaper.
The News-Review recognizes the lack of jobs as a major
community problem that contributes to crime, the
welfare rolls, and a sense of personal unworthiness. As a
service, the News-Review will print, free of charge, every
available job that comes to our attention. We urge
employers who have or know of job vacancies to inform
us and we will print the information. •
Drugs are also becoming an increasing community
problem. We will print, again free of charge, any
advertisements aimed at preventing the spread of drugs in
our community.
We feel community problems can often be solved
before they get out of hand, if the responsible persons
know about them in time. So we will have a “Voice of the
People” section wherein we invite you to write in and
speak your mind on the problem concerning you.
The New-Review feels that everyone should be aware
of the important contributions that Blacks have made to
this country and to the world. So you can look to us for
Black History.
A special feature will be our “celebrity” of the week.
This will be a person who probably never has done
anything outstanding, and through the normal course of
events would never appear in a newspaper. We will feature
such persons just to let them know that we feel that they
are Somebody.
We believe that our community should be well
informed. We have asked Mrs. Carrie Mays to keep us
abreast of important issues before the City Council.
Reverend N.T. Young will give us reports from the Board
of Education. Mrs. Jean Blount, Mr. Roscoe Williams, and
Mr. Willis J. Walker will report to us from Paine College,
Augusta College, and the Medical College of Georgia. Dr.
LE. Washington, Mrs. Nancy Anderson, Mrs. Mary Utley
and Mr. Livingston Wallace will keep us up to date on civic
affairs.
In this issue we are simply presenting ourselves to let
you know what we are trying to do. In the future,
editorials will be on the editorial page. We will also have a
society page, sports and whatever you suggest. We will
continually be trying to improve our newspaper, so let us
have your suggestions as to how we may best serve you;
and always send us your news.
We feel we have a worthy purpose and a capable staff.
With your help and God’s we are going to produce a good
newspaper.

[Scene
lii Higher Education
By Dr. DuPree Jordan, Jr.
16th in a Special Series
The common concern of
business leaders and- educators
seems to be growing day by
day. Indeed, the common
interests of all American
citizens seems to be that of
our educational leaders,
particularly in the field of
higher education. The various
philosophies of education, and
attitudes toward college
training, seem to be gaining
greater attention every day
from all our citizens.
Share Basic Goals
Many leading businessmen
in Georgia have become
increasingly concerned about
the future of higher education
in this state, and particularly
the needs and opportunities
available on the campuses of
the independent colleges and
universities in Georgia.
Walter B. Mackenzie,
president of Plantation Pipe
Line Company, serves as state
chairman of the Georgia
Foundation for Independent
Colleges, and he has led other
top businessmen to growing
involvement with a
commitment to high quality
higher education. At a recent
meeting in Atlanta. Mr.
Captain,” he said. “And eight
hours of additional training
for units has been scheduled
during this short period of
time to prepare guardsmen for
their vital role if called upon
to quell civil disturbances.”
Vandiver explained that the
Governor has authority to
order the National Guard to
active duty to assist local law
enforcement officers control
civil strife, if requested to do
so by local officials.
“While we hope this type of
duty will not be necessary, the
Georgia National Guard must
and will be ready to respond
quickly and effectively to
restore civil law and order if
called on by the Governor to
do so,” Vandiver commented.
Vandiver, who organized
the post World War II National
Guard units in the state and
was appointed adjutant
I
A
Mackenzie called upon leaders
of business and industry
throughout the state to
increase their support to the
independent colleges all over
Georgia.
This gathering of top
businessmen heard Mr.
Mackenzie say: “Independent
colleges depend solely on
tuition, gifts and endowments
for their finances, and cannot
raise tuition fees as freely as
economic changes would
normally require every
tuition increase limits further
the number of students who
can afford these quality
private colleges.”
Help One Another
Mr. Mackenzie pointed out
in a most forceful way that
the business community and
private colleges need each
other in the era of economic
and social turmoil, when the
private enterprise system is
under fire, and private colleges
are struggling for their
financial survival. “Profit and
free enterprise are not dirty
words,” he said. “They are the
strength and lifeblood of our
republic .. .the foundation
stones on which our economy
general by Gov. Jimmy Carter
with instructions to reorganize
and modernize the Guard,
praised Georgia Guardsmen
for passing the annual federal
inspections conducted by the
Third Army.
Citing Secretary Defense
Laird’s memorandum of last
August stressing the nation’s
increased reliance on the
ational Guard and other
serve forces, Vandiver also
r ealed that there have been
substantial increases in the
Guard’s inventory of
equipment. He said Guard
units have received all of their
authorized Ml 6 rifles. Other
items such as new trucks,
wreckers, ambulances, heavy
engineer equipment, radio and
signal equioment and
self-propelled howitzers are
coming in, he said.

rests.”
The top business leaders
attending the Atlanta
conference were told that the
independent colleges and
universities “actively promote
the private enterprise
philosophy within their
institutions,” and were told
further: “Neither private
business nor the private
colleges can survive as they are
presently constituted without
the support of the other. They
are interdependent; they must
consider and treat each other
as partners.”
Concern of Citizens
This partnership between
business and the leaders of
higher education is one of
great significance to all
Georgia citizens and
taxpayers. As more and more
leaders of the business
community recognize the
importance of maintaining a
healthy, viable system of dual
private and public colleges in
our state, the values of this
choice and diversity will
continue to benefit all
Georgians.
Durin g its recently
concluded 1971 session, the
Georgia General Assembly
approved legislation which will
assist thousands of Georgia
citizens in obtaining the
college training they need and
prefer, at the same time saving
state dollars for all Georgia
taxpayers. This bill provides
modest tuition grants for
students wo live in Georgia
