JUST I A C TS
A recent research study
showed that women who had
abortions before 197,1 were
more likely to have a miscar
riage than women who had
abortions after 1973 The
researcher attributed this to
the fact gentler abortion
methods are being used
Ronald .1 Shcehy, chair
man o f the biology depart
ment at Morehouse College
in Atlanta, Georgia, says
that the most useful scientists
in the future will be truly
creative thinkers.
fie says that black scien
lists have special respon
sibilities to reflect on their
experience and rich cultural
history then objectively ap
praise reality to the benelits
of both their communities
and the total society.
“ Too often American
s c ie n tis ts
a llo w
th e
paradigms and models ol the
status quo to lim it their
scopes,” Sheehy laments.
Consequently, mans o f the
issues and problems plaguing
the world remain unsolved
by the scientific community.
It is important that institu
tions o f higher learning —
especially black colleges
begin to put more emphasis
on teaching creativity and
problem
solving,
says
Sheehy.

The Tri-County M etropolitan Transportation District of Oregon w ill not
discriminate with regard to race, color, creed, sex or national origin, in con
sideration for contract award.
“ The greater number o f
black people being educated
are being educated in this
country, and most often at
black schools," he explains.
"W e have got to be able to
produce scientists for the en
tire Third World people of
color.”
In order to meet the
challenges and needs of the
future, Sheehy contends,
scientists must develop the
abilities to sec beyond pre
judices and deceit, and
creatively comprehend new
ideas.
