Being a BHHllllHBllW public school teacher is as close as one needs to lEaBW ajl come to see the negative effect that it has had and is having on our youngsters today. Ask any Black school boy, any age, who can speak a phrase or a sentence, about Tupac, (not the African warrior) the young rapper who was gunned down a little while ago and you start a loud conversation and speculations which you never envisioned and utterances from children you never heard say anything before. According to these youngsters, Tupac is not dead. They just made it seem that way, they say, because he was in danger. He is still making records and videos etc. When the time is right, we will see him again and hear from him. That sounds a lot like the 'Elvis Presley is not dead' thing and here lately, the President Kennedy is not dead' thing. For many years, there was the 'Jesse James is not dead and sang at his own funeral' thing. It is strange fhpw all of these 'nqdead people are never really seen by any creditable sources after they are dead. IN CINQUE by Renetta W. Howard Because youngsters believe that Tupac is not dead, it is a keen indication that they need something positive or someone positive in their lives to have faith in and believe in other than worshipping a rap star. The gangster rap, noise with a beat, needs to removed from the lives of young Black boys and girls. It not only interferes with their morals, it interferes with.4iieir ability to learn the basic skills of survival for the world of work. The average young school-age- d rapper knows every line that Tupac rapped, by heart, but barely knows the "Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. Flag" or a simple prayer. This is moral and cultural deprivation. Something not only needs to be done, but something MUST BE DONE if we are to salvage our younger generation for a positive future. It is time that we get 'in Cinque' and start the ball to rolling. Those of us who feel that we are not affected only need to live a little longer and feel the sting of the gangster rap. Some of the wannabe gangsters already have the earring in their ears and they are still in diapers.

Maxim Waters (D-C- A) today renewed her call for intMHive hearings 4nto die matter of the Nicaraguan Contra, drugs, aid C.I.A. connections. The Senate Intelligence Committee held its second hearing on matters relating to charges stemming from a series of newspaper acrticles in the cih Jose Mercury News in August. Those nicies have provoked a flurry of interest, and muc'i publicity, as to the activities of U.S. intelligence activities during the Contra War in Nicaragua. Several major media outlets have reported on the controversy, and several investigations into the allegations ire ongoing. Today's hearing witnessed the testimony of Adolfb Calero, the former President of the primary Contra organization, the Nlcafajtmn DemocraHc Front (FDN), and Eden Pastors, the commander of the second front, the Costa Rican-basa- d so-call- ARDS, the ed Democratic Revolutionary Alliance. Both Calero and Pastom have long and detailed histories of working with Ui. intelligence officials. AS perhaps the twd most prominent leaders of the Contra movement, both inert Worked closely with the C.I.A. implementing their coordinated effort to overthrow the Nicaraguan Sandinista government. There have also been serious accusations made about each of their involvements in the drug trade. Arecaht Washington Post' article detailed the purported drug-relat- ed activities of Eden Pastors, including determinations made by former C.T.A;employees that Pastors and his organization were heavily involved in mdving drugs. Calero. on the other hand, has a long history of involvement in Nicaraguan politics. He is known to have associated with Norwin Meneses, one of the prominent players in the drug ring whose activities were highlighted in the San Jose Mercury News account, as the attached, 1984 photograph of them together attests. Meneses is currently serving a prison term in Nicaragua for a cocaine-relate- d drug conviction. "It is certainly important that Congressional committees exercise their oversight and investigatory otyigajjons by conducting hearings into the serious charges of C.I.A. involvement in drug activities," said Waters. "However, given the uncertainty of Senator Specter's continued service as committee chairman, I must wonder about the precise purpose of today's hearing. We need investigation - we need hearings - but we need continuity of purpose, position, and personnel, as well. Without this type of continuity, it will be exceedingly difficult to methodically uncover the facts of this case." Rep. Waters has pushed for investigations into the C.I.A., Contra, Crack cocaine connection. However, she has warned that, without the proper tools, a complete investigation will be impossible. Given the sketchy, often contradictory, testimony that is available from many of the sources in this case, only a tenacious , organized, and exhaustive investigative team will be able to obtain, decipher, and interpret all the relevant information. Waters has also called for a Records Act, which would essentially release all dQUjjents w national security, to be reviewed by an apBQint9ftoUzenTeview'panel. " "At the last hearing by "tKislSenaie clhftfffitee','ve were'W to believe an interim report from both the C.I.A. and Justice Department Inspectors General would be forthcoming. Unfortunately, the status of those reports remains unclear," said Waters. r SOUTHWEST DIGEST i Television can display the essence of "war" in all its hypnotic fascination: - Troops blitz behind enemy lines. Defenses intercept incoming bombs. Opposing troops are engaged in the trenches. One ide launches an offensive. Then the other side launches a counter offensive. Participants sometimes are carried off the battlefield. Each faction fires its cannon to signal the scoring of a major strike against the "enemy." This is war. Televised war. War on a battlefield in historic Philadelphia. 'War between highly disciplined foes who Someday may find themselves fighting together against a common foe. ' This is the annual Army vs. Navy football game. It's a contest wiiich at once tokes up American patriotism, alma-mat- er : allegiences and national pride in a select group of young Americans.

This event, according to the organizers, will assist coaches with their recruitment efforts. The combine will be held March 27-3- 0, during the 1997 Black College Showcase in Miami, Florida. "When coaches from HBCUs try to recruit athletes, they don't have the budgets to travel from city to city or state to state lik$many of the major universities," said Trenae Floyd, president of NBCAR. cost-effecti- ve "This Combine is designed to make it for coaches to observe the athletic ability of promising athletes." According to Floyd, coaches andor their representatives, will evaluate students as they parth ipate in a series of drills. This event, said organizers, will increase students' chances of winning athletic scholarships. "If coaches are looking to rebuild their football team, this is the place for them," said Jeff Roberts, one of the coordinators for the NBCAR Combine '97 event. "The Statistical data that we collect from each player will help coaches identify athletes for specific football positions." Roberts noted that Uie drills will consist 40-yaof the rd dash, shuttle run, vertical leap, and bench press. Additional drills, said Roberts, may be added depending upon specific needs from college coaches. f , V " -- i 1997, on Twfcyr p.m.. m 130W.ijti; jji Mfa ftta. pit iifiiMi $623 plus book.

He added that this event will help fill that void qnd steer those athletes towards the HBCUs. "There is an incredible amount of youngsters who have the ability to walk on the gridiron and make an instant impact," said Richard Williams, another coordinator for the Combine. "We feel that it is our responsibility to highlight these young men so that they are afforded the opportunity to win scholarships to help defray the cost of their college education." Organizers say that the football combine is the first of many efforts to help strengthen the athletic programs at HBCUs. A new feature in 1998 will be the implementation of a basketball combine for men and women.

In a one-on- e exclusive interview with the National Newspaper Publishers Association about the alleged interaction between he and Amber McGrath. Simpson said "All of you see me all the time. Have you seen me harrass anyone?" According to Simpson, who is currently the subject of a civil trial in the death of his ex-wi- fe Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman, "the reporter (Jonathan R. Lovitl) always comes up to me when the goes by and says 'man how about that? Isn't she a looker?' I told him he wasn't going to get me to comment on anything like that. She always smiles at me. I talflTHo everyone. I don't just limit my people," he said. t "Last week when I walked out she was sittirfg in my chair. She was smiling and telling me she was leaving this job to go to acting school. All of the guys who work here smile and talk to her and have heard her say she is leaving," Simpson said of the incident which allegedly took place just before Halloween.

He further denies asking her for a date. "Why would I ask her for a date or. Halloween when I had a date, and the only onea at my house were my housekeeper and my lister?
