Watch ‘Dem Dogs
by Mattia A nna C alllar-S pears
A female African American pro­
fessor from Texas Southern, and who is
also an AKA, shared some very im por­
tant information at the multicultural
Education Conference which was re­
cently held in New O rleans, Louisiana.
She said, “ As educators and school
administrators, you should W A TC H
‘DEM DOGS.
“ There are two types o f dogs who
become very visible in the everyday
experience and you should constantly
be on the lookout for them. They are
pointers and setters.
“ The pointers - point at the faults
of others, point at who is doing what
wrong, point at inquisitions in your
program, point at procedure and just
point to be pointing. Then, there are the
setters. They just set. They set on the
progress, set on the program ’s m ove­
ment, they don’t allow progress to hap­
pen, they set on your recommendations
and do nothing, they even set in the way
o f others doing productive things.
“ Yes! I say w atch ‘dem dogs!
“ The morale to this story is - if you
have developed a program and you’ve
done the research and convinced the
assessment o f needs, you can justify and
satisfy your program; then, move ea­
gerly towar ds the implementation o f the
program. But -- always but alw ays
remember to W atch ‘Dem D ogs!”
M ichael Jackson o f Portland, Oregon loves gospel music and plays the lead
guitar.
H e is an active m ember at Emmanuel Tem ple Church. He also plays and trav­
els with the Heaven Bound Gospel Choir.

Church Group Takes
Frankie Laine’s Lead
Providing Shoes For The
Poor And Homeless
The Church o f Scientology’s L a­
dies Society com pleted a food and shoe
drive this week, delivering 60 pairs of
shoes and twenty turkeys to FISH
Emergency Service, Inc.
The dirve was inspired by the
‘ ‘ Frankie Laine S hoe Drive for the Poor
and H om eless,” which was initiated by
the famous singers in his home town of
San Diego, California.
Reverend Frank Shields, o f the
emergency service’s Board o f D irec­
tors, heard o f Laine’s “ shoe drive”
when he met Laine last fall. In hopes of
inspiring similar action in Portland,
Reverend Shields typed up the story
and sent it around to several local area
churches.
Laine had been sparked by a new s­
cast he had seen in which a homeless
person was noticeably losing the heel
o f his shoe as he was being chased off
o f a park bench by police. Struck by the
plight of not even having a decent pair
o f shoes to walk in, Laine thought of a
simple way to involve the community
in helping alleviate the problem. He
incorporated one o f his songs “ Old
Shoes’ ’ into a public service announce­
ment calling for people to donate their
good quality, useable old shoes to the
poor and homeless. The response was
impressive.
“ People often have a closet full of
decent used shoes that they no longer
w ear,” said Reverend Shields. “ This
is simply a brilliant idea that we w ant to
im plem ent here in Portland.”
