AVENUE OF NATIONS
Proposed budget cuts threaten
student financial aid
Larry Hough and
Victor D. Alexander
Spark Staff Writers
To the dismay of students,
parents, and collegeadministraters,
one of the aims of President
Reagan's proposed new budget
is to reduce federal aid to education.
This would mean deep cuts in
federal educational spending and
the possible dismantling of the
two year old cabinet level
Department of Education. Although
Congress promised to
resist any further cuts after
approving major cuts in Guaranteed
Student Loan and other programs
last year in the Budget Reconciliation
Bill (Public Law 97-35) ,
there is cause for concern among
studen ts- and-parent .
Cuts \Nill Continue
The president's budget released
February 6 detailed plans for
sharp reductions in college student
assistance, the Title I program
of compensatory education for
the disadvantaged and dozens
of other educational programs
over the next three years. The
budget includes 10.3billioninbudgetauthorityforeducation,4.8 billion for higher education
and 1.1billionforresearchandotherprograms.Thatcomparedto13 billion proposed to be
spent on education in fiscal 1982
and 14.9billionin1981.Another1 billion reducation was planned
for 1984. In addition to the cuts,
the administration has asked
Congress to rescind more than 1billioninfiscal1982appropriationforeducation.BudgetauthorityforanumberofprogramsincludingPellGrantsandWorkStudyprogramsforcollegestudentswouldbecutto2lessthanhalftheir1981levelsby1984.Severalotherprogramsofaidtocollegestudentswouldbeabolished.PellGrantswouldbecutfrom2.2 billion in 1982
to 1.4billionin1983andto1 billion in 1984 and 1985.
Considering this, one may wonder
if the ultimate goal is to gradually
eliminate all federal aid to education.
Student Loans
The administration has estima~
ed that 1.8 million would
get grants in 1983 compared
to 2.5 million in 1982 and the
maximum grant for an individual
would be reduced from 1670 to
1600. Cam pus based aid for stu.
dents___w_QuLd e_ cut ram 1
billion to 400million.Theadministrationwantstoputtheentire400 million into the
College Work Study Program
and eliminate Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants and
capital contributions for National
Direct Student Loans. There will
also be changes in the Guaranteed
Student Loans Programs. Among
other things, graduate and professional
will not be eligible for
these loans and students who
remain eligible must pass a much
stricter "needs test."
Along with his budget, the
administration plans to dismantle
the Education Department and
replace it with a scaled down
Foundation for Educational Assistance
with a meager 8 .8
billion budget. The foundation
would assume responsibility for
block grants, student loans and
grants, programs for compensatory
and equal educational
opportunity, and educational research
services.
The effects of these cuts on
students here at CPCC- should
they be passed- are not exactly
known, though the impact probbly
would not be felt as heavily
as at larger, more expensive
institutions. There are some 1600
students here receiving some sort
of financial aid. The ones in that
number who are enrolled in
transfer programs and planning
to transfer to larger, more
expensive schools would have
more cause for concern over
these proposed cuts for they may
be forced to postpone the last
two or three years of their
education or switch to a less
expensive school not of their
choice. Either way it puts students
in a very offensive situation .
Kent Eargle of the financal
aid office has his doubts about
the wisdom of the administrations'
proposed education cuts. "The
administration won't save any
money by cutting the educational
budget because the individuals
who will not be able to attend
college as a result will be unskilled ,
uneducated, unemployable and
therefore dependent on some
form of public assistance or some
social program for a longer
period of time than if they
would have been in schoolprobably
the rest of their lives,"
says Eargle .
Eargle also urges students to
take action in order to prevent
these cuts.

FLAGS RAISED DURING
by Victor D. Alexander
Spark Staff Writer
Ten thousand International students
of 98 different nations
come from all over the world
. to attend CPCC, and on February
22 in front of the Hagemeyer
Learning Resources Center they
gathered together to celebrate
the first annual Flagday celebration
during International Brotherhood
Week.
The ceremony consisted of
speeches, music, balloons, snacks
and flagraising, including a huge
20/30 American flag donated to
CPCC Foundation by Observer
Charities of Knight Publishing
Company. The flag was raised on
a 70-foot pole in the center of
the school by a local U.S. Colorguard
. In addition to the American
flag, 25 smaller 3/5 flags were
raised along the railing of the
LRC building to form the
"Avenue of Nations." The countries
represented were Argentina,
Brazil, Mexico, Haiti, Belgium,
Denmark, Great Britain, Switzerland,
Italy, Portugal, Chad, Egypt,
Liberia, Libya, Algeria, Iran ,
China, Australia, Sudan, Lebanon,
Israel, Philippines, Afghanistan,
Greece, and Norway.
Laura Friedlein, coordinator
of the ceremony and Director of
the International Culture Department,
calls the huge American
flag, "The Landmark," because
she said." It makes our campus
stand out, and when people see
our flag they will say that's
CPCC." Friedlein also says " It's
our goal to someday get all of
the nationalities at CPCC involved
in the Avenue of Nation ceremonies."
The foreign flags were donated
by students of the International
Culture Department and interested
people in the community. Friedlein

BROTHERHOOD

pointed out that she hopes that
during every holiday celebration
at CPCC concerning flags, the
International Culture Department
will be able to present the A venue
of Nations.
The ceremony ended with
songs by the Independence High
School band and a Human
Relations award presented to
Lynn Bonavita by Powell Majors
of the CPCC Foundation.

BLACK HERITAGE CELEBRATION
by Larry Hough
Spark Copy Editor
The singing of "Lift Every Voice
and Sing" by Patsy Parks opened
the second annual Black Heritage
Week celebration here. About 400
people assembled in Pease Auditorium
at noon on February 17
for the opening ceremony.
Highlights of the celebration
were the appearances of exDallas
Cowboy Pettis Norman, a
native of Charlotte and graduate
of Johnson C. Smith University ;
nationally known classical pianist ,
Horatio Miller; and Maggie Ree,
the Jazz-Blues duo from Spartanburg
, SC.
The theme for this year's
celebration was "Attribution and
Retention of Students" which
Norman spoke on. In his speech,
he stressed the importance of
education in the Black American's
struggle for equa lity and urged
students to be persistent in the
pursuit of their educational goals ,
despite obstacles that may arise.
Horatio Miller's contribution
to Black Heritage Week was "a
program of music composed,
performed , and inspired by black
people." He played selections by
Horatio Miller

Pettis Norman stresses a point.
DRAWS CROWD
composers Scott Joplin, William
G. Still, R. Nathaniel Dett, and
1helonious Sphere Monk who
incidentally passed away on
February 17.
Jazz and Blues being forms of
music originated and/or made
popular by blacks made Maggie
Ree's performance more than
appropriate for this occasion.
The duo performed such Jazz
and Blues standards as Ray
Charles' "Georgia on My Mind"
and '.'Silk Shiny Stockings," a
song composed by Count Basie
and sung by Ella Fitzgerald.
This year's celebration was a
success and a joyous experience.
It is hoped that everyone who
participated gained something
that will stay with them long
after the celebration.

This 1951 photograph shows three bank executives counting the proceeds donated from the Patsy Edwards Benefit Show. Patsy Edwards was the ballad champion in 1949 and 1951 in the Mountain Youth Jamboree. Her father was accidentally killed while Ms. Edwards was performing for the Dance Masters of America in Washington, D.C. with other Mountain Youth Jamboree contestants. The Jamboree champions gave a benenfit program to assist her and her family. Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University

This is my earliest version of this book. I have two other copies printed in 1970 and 1972. All three of these stem from the 1961 copyright. Earlier copyrights were in 1949 and 1954. This copy differs from the 1970 printing by using the blue page facing the title-page as a paste-down inside front cover. The same is true in the back of the book. Thus two nice illustrations are not included, as they are on the first page facing the blank inside cover and the corresponding last page facing the blank inside back cover: Pierre Bear reading a book (excerpted from the front cover's picture and the first picture in "Pierre Bear") and Duck sleeping in bed. As I wrote on the 1970 version, TMCM told by Patsy Scarry has a quaint flapper city mouse in its water colors. The picture of the cat discovering the two mice may be the best. This story adds a vacuum cleaner! The picture on the back cover has a dog never mentioned in the story! FC by the same author adds an elephant and a tiger to its cast of characters. Overall, I continue to believe that there is little special here for the lover of new and different understandings of fables.
