Called the Women's Psy chological Clinic, the service operates on the premise that some women may want to take advantage of psycho logical counseling from other women rather than men. The clinic is staffed by Carol Gygi, a graduate stu dent in urban studies at PSU, and Courtney Good monson, a psychology doc toral student. The two women founded the clinic last year. Ms. Goodmonson said the clinic will add an additional therapist this year to met an increased demand for counseling services. "Our goal is to reach women in the community with a counseling service that otherwise would not be available to them at such a moderate price," she said. There is a fee schedule for both individual and group counseling sessions. The hours of the clinic, which is in Room 365, Cramer Hall. 730 S.W, Mill, are be tween 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information on the clinic, call Ms. Good monson or Ms. Gygi through the D epartm ent of P sy chology at Portland State University at 229 3923. hnuxnma cook ................. $ Same dude with a different plan. in another country with a different man. The All NEW SIG SHORE Production i _______ __ ’ Kent Russell is one of five Portland Community College ituder.ta using a shoe repair shop as a classroom this fall. The college launched a one year course in shoe repair following a plea from the Master Shoe Repair Associa tion of Oregon, whose spokes men say their trade "to dying”. Portland’s shoe repair shops have dwindled in number from over 300 to less than 40 in recent years. Shop owners (eel that low apprenticeship wages have been one of the reasons for the apparent tack of interest in the trade. Their idea was to make available a more productive way of entering the trade, enabling younger members of the profession to buy into existing shops and “fill the gap" left by retiring shoe repairmen. The result is the PCC course in which students work a 40-hour week with a shop owner his only teacher, the shop his only classroom. Russell, formerly of Eu gene, has been learning the craft from Dave Vanek, who owns a repair shop in East port Plaza. Vanek shares his know ledge of the use and main tenance of equipment, and bench work, including stit chery, heel and sole work, and reshaping BLACK HISTORY THROUGH COOKING I had heard about “ The Historical Cookbook for the American Negro.” I knew it was out o f print and that no one who owned a copy wanted to part with it. A precious document o f reci pes honoring famous Blacks of the past. In a bookstore in Harlem I met a woman who knew Dorothy Height, National President of The National Council of Negro Women, publishers o f the book. She suggested I get in touch with her. Even the Council didn’t want to let their copy out o f the office. Then by chance I met a fellow w ork er at Best Foods who knew the book. Her sister Helen Norvelle was a regional Director of NCNW in 1958 when th< book was publish ed and she offered to let me borrow her book. There were so many recipes I wanted to try, and so much to read about Black history; pictures and documents to study-a delight in every way. Here is just one recipe from the book, Banana Nut Bread. Now that I know there’s a copy of “ The Historical Cookbook for the American Negro” in the Schomburg Collection at 103 West 135th Street in New York City I may refer to it again. BANANA NUT BREAD F r i.

She test ed the recipe for Banana Nut Bread with Karo corn syrup, using margarine for the shortening. « wot He will also teach the stu dent his techniques for mak ing leather bags, belts, and watchbands. Vanek, who has been in the repair business 14 years, says he shares his skills enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, with its fair housing title.” Senator Edward Brooke, the only Black member of the Senate, was the guest speaker at the dinner which honored a series of Black elected officials at the county, city and state levels. Many of the 2.621 Blacks holding elective offices around the country are expected to at tend a day long workshop on “Black Politics and the l,eg ialative Process” preceeding the Caucus dinner.

(Continued from pg. 1, col. 6) (Please turn to pg. 4, col. 5) these centers would attract, voluntarily by reason of their quality, middle class children in sufficient numbers to pro vide a healthy balance of student enrollment. This would give additional re sponse to those who feel that our administrative transfer program is too much ’one way’.” Blanchard also admonished staff members to apply an equal standard of conduct: “I challenge all teachers and administrators this eve ning to renew their effort to provide consistently the same type of firm, even handed discipline and understanding they would expect for their own children. This should be carried out with respect to all students, irrespective of background. I am convinced that that is what the parents of this community want. This superintendent will back this staff in that renewed effort regardless of the num ber of suspensions and the consequent number of times parents are required to come to the school to get the issues resolved. The college has set no fixed terms or enrollment dates for the shoe repair course. Interested persons may register at any time during the year bv contacting Geraldine Pearson. PCC, 244 6111. The Crusaders & Grove Washington Jr. Mitchell earns award Nation's Capital. His greatest triumph was perhaps the part he played in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In 1969 he was awarded the Spingarn Medal for “his selfless devotion to the task of ending racial bias: his uncompromising re jection of racism, white or Black; his wisdom and te nacity in the pursuit of just laws; his abiding faith in the dem ocratic process as a means of achieving freedom and equality for all; and the pivotal role he has played in The college haa a waiting list of other shoe repair bus inessm en throughout the Portland area who would like to train atudenta.
