Beebee Challenges Job Training Conference o t o ( c>j Notre Dame, October 11, 1968. "Job Development and Training—New Directions and Responsibilities" was the title and subject of inten- sive discussion at a recent conference in our com- munity. National figures who are leaders in job develop- ment were assembled to re- late to the local business, educational, and social or- ganizations what the national scene in this crucial area is and what some of the existing programs are doing to meet the demands. Leo C. Beebee, Executive Vice Chairman, National Al- liance of Businessmen, keynoted the conference. He expertly "said it like it is," he decisively confronted each person present with one simple challenge: Why are you interested in those that "can't quite make it?" He asserted that if their motives were selfish, if they were at this conference because someone told them to be there or because they thought it a matter of status, then they were doomed to failure. The keynoter sounded an urgent plea for a new union of business and government to combat our social ills. He suggested that business and private industry set it- self up as competition to governmental agencies. After the luncheon meet- ing, a general session was introduced by the Honorable John Brademas, UJS. Repre- sentative, 3rd District, who turned the discussion over to Dr. Grant Venn, Associate Commissioner-Adult, Voca- tional and Library Pro- grams, U.S. Office of Educa- tion. Dr. Venn outlined es- pecially the Vocational programs of our gov- ernment. The conference then split into three workshops for a closer look at the problem from slightly different in- volvements: Vocational Ed- ucation; Business Involve- ment; The Role of Govern- ment. Following the workshops three separate panels at- tempted to synthesize for the members of the conference what could be done on the local level. Some specifics were talked about, but there was a great deal of frustra- tion felt by all. At the closing dinner ses- sion, Honorable Stanley H„ Ruttenberg, Assistant Sec- retary of Labor for Man- power, Washington D.C., re- viewed the manpower re- training crisis of the Stude- baker Nightmare and sug- gested that South Bend gave this country the lead in co- ordinating National, State, and Local resources to meet (Continued on Page 8) "S.VKSJHS.. sooth bend send i no. 1% la r Vol. 2, No. 6 130 South Walnut Street South Bend, Indiana 46625 October 20,1968 Urban League Begins Career Program £v\c u2/%; ■■ A sixth grade career club program in progress at Kaley School.

The agreement was made with Operation Bread- basket, which has been lead- ing a program of "economic withdrawal against A&P", while picketing certain A&P stores. The food chain agreed to hire 268 more Negroes dur- ing the next year and said it would promote at least 20 black workers to execu- tive and managerial posi- tions. A&P also atrreed to rehire 300 employees who had been laid off because of reduced business at some stores in black areas. The agreement was the second made by A&P and Breadbasket. A year ago, a similar pact was made, but Breadbasket officials char- ged that it was broken by A&P. After the new agreement was signed, the Rev. Jesse L.Jackson, national Bread- basket director, asserted that the pact should be a "sign to all companies who profit from black consumers that we are serious in our pursuit of justice, dignity, and the economic develop- ment of the black com- munity." That more than 5,000 walking people "have free- dom from colonial exploita- tion is more important for our souls than rest for our weary bodies," he said. "We were tired of A&P taking profits from us, but leaving only few jobs, poor jobs, little business oppor- tunity, and broken agree- ments for us. Our walking has shown A&P that they need us, black consumers, and has brought us to this table to sign an agreement of mutual respect for mutual in- terests." On Saturday, October 12th, THE FIFTH DIMENSION, one of the finest group of singers today, appeared in concert at Notre Dame's Stepan Center. The auditorium was fiHed to capacity, with standing room only. THE FIFTH DIM- ENSION received a mighty ovation from the audience when they walked out on stage. They exhibited a most fas- cinating performance that made the audience caU for more. THE FIFTH DIMEN- SION sang all of their hit records that put them among the "cream of the crop" in the entertainment field. They sang Up, Up, and A way, Stoned Soul Picnic, Land of a Thousand Dances, and many other hit songs. THE FIFTH DIMENSION is a unique group in pop music because it appeals to both Afro-Americans and white audience. The group is made up of five young Afro- Americans, Florence, Mar- ilyn, Bill, Lamonte, and Ron. Each member of the group is very talented and has his or her own definite style of singing. When the group sing a soul rocking song, you rock along with them; when they sing a sad song, you almost feel like crying. THE FIFTH DIMENSION closed the Stephan Center concert in a very big way. The group brought members of the aud- ience to dance with them while the band grooved on. We hope THE FIFTH DIMENSION will keep head- ing "Up, Up, and Away" toward success.
