Bill Russell To Speak At A.C M 2 •T' 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.” Latest Style, Greatest Fit Be a standout at the prom in our custom fitted formal wear.

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 NUMBER ONE Package Shop "PARTY PRICES" 2856 Deans Bridge Rd. "Across From Cadis's Motol" J.B.WHITE’S CELEBRATING 97 YEARS of SERVICE to AUGUSTA 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.
