Bill Russell

BILL RUSSELL
The Augusta College
Lyceum Series for 1970-71 will
draw to a close Tuesday, May
11 with the appearance of Mr.
Bill Russell, former coach of
the world champion Boston
Celtics Basketball Team.
Russell will speak at 8 p.m.
in the Performing Arts Theatre.
Tickets will be sold on a
space-available basis at the
theatre box office the evening
of the performance.
Mr. Russell replaces The
African Heritage Dance and
Music Ensemble which was
initially scheduled to perform
May 11.
The speaker is the first
player-coach in Boston sports
history and the first of his race
to manage full-time in a major
league of any sport. SPORTS
ILLUSTRATED named him
Sportsman of the Year in 1968
and 1970 he was named
Athlete of the Decade,
“The career of Bill Russell is
astonishing for its consistent
brilliance. Still, in 1968, he
brought it to a new demension;
as coach as as star pl a Y er
of the Celtics - leading and
doing - he drove his group of
veterans to Boston’s 10th
world championship since he
joined the team 12 years ago,”
SPORTS ILLUSTRATED
wrote on naming him
Sportsman of the Year.
The rows of trophies which
line the walls in his den
commemorate one of the most
remarkable records in sports:
14 years of play at the pinnacle
of basketball -two years
leading the University of San
Francisco to the National
championship and then 12
years with the Boston Celtics,
leading them to two
second-place finishes and ten
world championships.
Russell’s interests are not,
however, confined to the
basketball court (from which
he is now retired). He is very
much concerned about today’s
“young scene,” saying, “This is
the greatest college generation
in this country’s history
because it has become involved
in people.”
The sportsman talks of race:
“If someone could find away
to make a profit out of better
race relationships, it would be
solved in four or five days, or a
couple of weeks at the most.
Os the Country: “This is a
1 great, great country - it can be
I even greater....For this country
I to be as great as it can be, I
would die.”
Os the Game: “Players react
I to different stimuli. Some guys
I you berate, some you praise. If
I you happen to have a team of
I guys who need to be yelled at,
well, you yell at them and you
hope your manner is
I convincing.”

COSMETIC DISTRIBUTOR
A man came to our houae
trying to get us to invest in his
■company. He said that for
$5,000 we could become
cosmetic distributors for his
firm, and make lots of money.
Do you think this would really
be a good investment?
It’s doubtful. Under this
so-called “multi-level
marketing plan,” you will get
a quantity of the product for
your $5,000. Then, you are
supposed to recruit other
people to help you sell the
product, and split the profit
with them. Unfortunately, in
many cases, there have been
few profits to split. In one
reported instance, only 79
people out of more than 1,600
even made $5,000. In another
example, a company that
practices multi-level marketing
is being sued in 17 states.
Also, GCSP files show that
some of these companies sell
so many “distributorships” in
one area that there’s no one
left to buy the product
nearly everyone’s trying to sell
it.
Cosmetics are not the only
products offered through a
multi-level deal. Among the
others are soap, detergents and
wigs.
Before investing in any
distributorship, you should
investigate the market, find
out how long the company has
been in business and if it has a
good reputation, talk to other
investors, and get the advice of
a lawyer.
WELCOME CLUBS
We just moved here from
another state. Yesterday,
someone called saying she
represented a neighborhood
welcoming club, and could she
come by to give me some free
gifts. Can you tell me if this is
a legitimate offer?
You should find something

out about the organization
first. There are some very
good welcoming clubs,
sponsored by local business,
that give out free samples and
literature about community
activities at no obligation.
However, some unethical
salesmen may claim to
represent such a club in order
to get into your home, and
give you a high pressure sales
pitch. They sometimes even
fraudulently claim to
represent a legitimate club.
You should check the name
of the organization out with
the Better Business Bureau if
there is one in your area, or
with the local Chamber of
Commerce. If the club has a
good reputation, call its
headquarters to find out if the
person who called you really
works for it Finally, if
someone uses this story to get
in your house, and then goes
into a heavy sales pitch, or
says .you must sign something
if you accept the “gift”, don’t
hesitate to say you’re not
interested, and ask him or her
to leave. Report the incident
to the club the person claimed
to represent.
