A m adu Korom a: Falcon soccer star
By Tom Boothe, PhD.
Professor of Communications Heuristics
D e a r D r . Boothe:
I am African, and 1 am con
stantly asked by white people
why are the Blacks w earlry
A fro's and Dasheiki, and most
of the Africans are dressed
modestly western style? 1
really don't know how to
answer th eir questions, what
would you suggest?

Ona of the brighter «U |»r-
stars In the Oregon High
School Soccer League this
year la Amadu Koroma of the
Oregon Eplacotwl Falcons.
Amadu, a junior and a native
of Sierre Leone, Africa, la
an IM-goal scorer for the F a l
cons and the most Integral
p a n of their offense. Coach
John Hicks has much pralae
for his star forward, calling
him
the
heat left-footed
a hooter in the League.
D e ar Western Dresser:
Why do people wear Italian
styles dress, French style
dress o r any of the current
styles of dress? Because
different styles project dif
ferent Images and certain p er
sons who ask you these quest
ions is "Because They Like
It.”
Koroma begun hla IV72 sea
son
auspiciously,
scoring
three times In his firs t game.
And he haa teen most valua
ble to tie Falcons when a
goal was needed. In a crucial
game against La Salle in
October,
Koroma
scored
every Falcon goal In a much
needed 3-3 tie. In tie same
week he le a l M t. Angel with
a pair of goals in a 2-1 Fal
con victory.
Ke1!gle Jones, the black M arine corporal who trounced a Russian boxer during the Munich
Olympics yet ‘ ’ lost’ ' the highly controversial and widely viewed match, w ill fight his Eastern
European opponent again.
This time, however, the bout will not be fought near eith er the beer gardens of Munich or the
cold monuments of Moscow.
Instead, Las Vegas w ill be the site of the re-match between a
Soviet light middleweight namt»I Valery Tregubov and Reggie Jones of Newark, New Je rs ey.
In the last bout, Jones ended the fight with more points than TreguDov, but the scoring system
was so convoluted and complex that the Russian was declared the winner. The crowd of 6.000
watching the bout In person hooted with dishelief call ing the officials "Schiebert1" (crook).
As tie Falcons leaded down

D e a r D r . Boothe:
1 have been living on the
streets, and on my own for
over 3 years. I am 19 and
I have been in M cLaren and
I have been warned that if
I have one more arre st it's
Rocky Butt. About 7 months
ago 1 knocked up my 15 year
old g irlfrien d , and I promised
to m a rry her but the judge
told me no dice along with
her fam ily. I do w art to sup
port the child as it is due
very soon. But 1 can't find
a job because of my record
and I fell out of school at the
10th grade.
Now my g irl
don’t believe me about look
ing for a job, and when 1 do
get a job I can't seem to
hold it over 2 weeks. I real
ly want to work to support
my child, but 1 just can’t seem
to have any stability. Now
I am desperate, what can 1
do to change my image?
D ear Desperate:
You'll have to make that
commitment to yourself and
work at it. The State of Oregon
has a program which deals
with your kind of situation
make a visit to the Oregon
State Personnel Division 1400
S.W. 5th Ave. Phone 229-5844
and ask them about th eC .E .P .
program and level with them
about your background and ex
press your desire to work and
improve your image.
The secret is making the
commitment to your self.
D ear D r . Booth:
My husband is just great 4
days a weak and then he gets
paid on Friday he finds his
friends and they stop by the
bar and drink and gamble his
money away and it's usually
Su/xlay night when his cronies
deliver him at my doorstep
on his knees dirty; smelly,
and broke. I have cried,
pleaded and threaten to leave
him, but each time he swears
it's the last time but comes
pa play the whole mess starts
all over again. I have 3 lovely
daughters and if 1 gave up my
part time job, we would of
starved to death long time ago,
but 1 still love the bum. Don’t
tell me to pray because 1 have
tried everything from a Voo
Doo doctor down to trying to
hypnotize him. 1 need help,
what do you suggest?
D ear Wife:
1 think you and your hus
band
needs
professional
counseling at the fam ily level.
You may check with the County
Court House, Fam ily Con
sultant Services are available
If you call 227-8411. They
w ill be able to recommend a
counselor who is qualified to
effectively deal with your
problem.
D ear D r . Boothe:
I am a Church going C hris
tian, and I have always been
taught that prayer changes
things.
M y problem is that
my
husband won’t go to
Church, and he has argued so
much that 1 can’t get the rest
of the fam ily to go because
of his attitude. We are al
most breaking up over this
because he knows how much
it means to me. How can 1
get my husband to shut up, if
he wants to go to hell fine,
but why should he force every
body to join him?
D ear Church Goer:
I think if you prayed more
and argued less, prayer would
change things. You are going
to have to show your children
the advantages in going to
Church not just m e rrily tell
them that they should go.
