Pierce joins
Emanuel staff
Emanuel’ s H ealth Care Psy
chology Department grew to five
with the addition o f Diane Pierce,
PhD .
Anise Hell, resident of the Hollywood area, teaches slim and trim exercises for Portland Com m unity
College.
Exerise brings health, beauty
Anise Hall is a successful P ort
land model who plans to share her
secrets to maintaining a trim figure
in a Portland Community College
exercice class starting Monday,
March 30, from 7:30 to 8:30 at
Alameda School.
The dance exercise class will con
tinue on Mondays and Thursdays
for ten weeks. Cost is $ 17.
Ms. H a ll, a H ollyw ood d istrict
resident, has been a familiar face in
major department store advertising
in P ortland fo r more than seven
years.
‘ ‘ It’ s hard w ork,” Ms. Hall said.
She keeps trim with a half hour o f
dance exercises daily plus a h a lf
hour of jogging.
She said she does not like exercise
which involves a lot o f jum ping
m otions, but prefers the graceful
fluid motions o f the dance exercises
which she has developed over the
years. The flowing motions o f her
exercise look more like a ballet dan
cer than a gym workout.
Ms. H a ll said she believes that
improved diet habits must accom
pany good exercise in order to
achieve and maintain a good figure.
‘ ‘ I also lean to the natural
foods,” Ms. Hall said. “ I avoid red
meat and prefer chicken and fish
plus lots o f vegetables.”
Ms. Hall said that men as well as
women are welcome in her class.

H ollyw ood d is tric t. The study,

Dr. Pierce came to Emanel out of

and their fam ilies cope w ith the
emotional and behavioral aspects of
illness, such as anxiety, depression,

Oncology Rehabilitation Team, and
the A rth ritis C lin ic . She is also
available fo r consultatio n w ith
medical and surgical patients
throughout the main hospital. She is
also available to work w ith s ta ff
members.
Duke: In your opinion, what are
some o f the issues facing Afro-
Amencans today?
K ing: I think one o f the basic
issues facing us today is that if we
are not able to provide a decent job,
at a decent wage, for all people who
are willing and able to work, that we
are going to continue to have the
kinds o f unrest, the kind o f violence
that we see in this country today.
I t ’ s interesting that the Ku Klux
Kian is emerging in this period. I
realize that it’ s not a Black or white
issue but an economic issue. Poor
whites are feeling the clench and
crunch as well as Blacks and other
m inorities in this country. As a
result, they’ ve been conditioned to
blame it on Blacks and whoever
else. W hat we are going to have to
do is implement the Humphrey-
Hawkins full employment bill which
is going to be d iffic u lt since the
Republicians are against it. Their
priority is to balance the budget.
Duke: During the 60s your father
was pitted against Malcom X, do
you in any way, feel that they were
truly rivals?
King: “ Malcom said that what he
really was showing America what
the alternatives were if they decided
not to fo llo w the pretext to my
King: Certainly that had a lot to
do with it. My father said that when
President Kennedy was assassinated
that if he kept on going at the rate
he was, he would end up the same
way.
He realized it and unfortunately
that’ s the case when you stand up
for right you have to be w illing to
lay down your life. W'hen it began to
be a much broader issue, and when
he began to move in to the N orth,
that the movement took on w orld
wide implications. This is when the
focus or whomever decided that it
was quite enough.
Duke: During the 40s and 50s
when your fa th e r's tactics were
gaining momentum, one o f the main
forces that stood in his way was the
Philosophy o f States rights and
today with the current ad
ministration this term pops up as a
solution. Is this sentiment one we
should be concerned with?"
King: U nfortunately, th a t’ s one
o f my biggest concerns. I don’ t
worry about his cuts although these
cuts will affect a lot o f people. What
could be even more dram atic in
terms o f directly affecting peoples’
lives are the decisions that the
various states make. There w ill be
some that w ill do very well and
others w ill take the opportunity to
take back many o f the things that
they were forced to have to concede
because o f the civil rights act.
Duke: In the 60s religion was used

to promote social change. Now we
see groups like the Moral Majority
using religion to maintain the status
quo. ff'/i y the change over?
ROUND STEAK
King: I don’t think there has been
much o f a change in the way religion
is being used. The people who are in
the Moral M ajority who use religion
that way are ju st com ing out.
Historical religion and its practice
for Black people has been very d if
ferent from the way it’ s practiced by
whites. This shows that there are at
least two different interpretations o f
"C hristianity.”
Duke: What advice could you
give our younger readers?
King: l think its important for us
to realize that if anything is going to
happen, we have got to make it
happen. People are not going to
hand us anything. In fact, Reagan
may take away what little people
have. It may be good because people
are forced to do som ething, they
end up doing very little. We got the
energy to carry it on. Instead, we get
what we can get, and sit on the can.
Our generation feels that we don’ t
have any dues to pay, and we do.
Too much has been done to
provide us with the opportunity to
do things that we take for granted.
Just 20 years ago we couldn’ t just go
to any movie, or just any club or
restaurant. Please people, you have
got to pay some dues so that we as a
race can stay on the move.

Questioned as to what differences
