PROGRAMS FOR
MINORITY STU­
DENTS
WIN NATIONAL
HONORS
LOS ANGELES, -- Four college pro­
fessors who have introduce black stu­
dents to exciting careers in small, en­
trepreneurial businesses will receive
prestigious Leavey Awards for Excel­
lence in Private Enterprise Education
in ceremonies in Los Angeles.
The awards, sponsored by Freedoms
Foundation at Valley Forge, Pa., near
Philadelphia, carry with them $7,500
cash prizes.
Since the awards program began in
1977, Freedom Foundation, one of the
country’s leading education organiza­
tions, has awarded more than $1.3 mil­
lion in prizes. Many of the awards over
the years have gone to high school and
college teachers who have developed
innovative free-enterprise education
programs for African American, His­
panic, and other minority sludents. This
year’s awards are no exception.
One award-winning effort, the Black
Enterprise Summer Training (BEST)
program , was created by Stella
Nkomo,Robert Homaday, and Ben
Nunnally of the University of North
Carolina, Charlotte, professors of man­
agement in the university’s College of
Business. The BEST program places
black students as “ interns” and “ fel­
lows” with successful black business-
owners in the area who are members of
the Charlotte Business League. Begun
last year, the program will place 15
interns this summer. The purpose, say
Nkomo, Homaday, and Nunnally - who
will share one of the $7,500 Leavey
Award prizes -- is to build a “ founda­
tion of a potent network of outstanding
black university graduates and success­
ful black entrepreneurs.”
A second award-winning program
being honored this year was created by
Prof. Ibrahim M. Salama of South Caro­
lina State College in Orangeburg. A
native of Egypt, Professor Salama also
is being honored for developing a spe­
cial program to teach minority students
about the benefits of the American pri­
vate-enterprise system. As part his
program, called “ Project Turning
Point,” 14 business leaders -- ranging
from operational-level to corporate
CEOs - were recruited to serve as vis­
iting professors at South Carolina Slate.
Because of their experiences with the
program, a number of Professor Salama’s
students arc now considering careers
business, some even contemplating
starting their own businesses.

The Western Region of the National Newspaper Association convened
its annual meeting in Oakland, California a fortnight ago. It was co-hosted
by the House of Seagram and the Oakland Post. Clyde C. Allen, director of
Public relations and special events marketing gave the key note presentation.
He emphasized the fact that in the very competitive world of newsprint, or­
ganizations would have to change their methods of operation if they were to
survive the onslaught of their competitors. His speech was augmented with
special seminars in which Jeff Douvcll, director of marketing and public
relations for the Oakland Post gave the visiting publishers specific hints and
suggestions on how to lower their production costs and improve their profit
