ExhW ican Chinese silk, Sa^tnponerv 'Soo^^Chinesetood^ A concentrated, coordinated program to combat illiteracy in Western North Carolina is being developed at WCU in conjunction with many regional administrators and officials. The program, Life (Literacy Is For Everyone) was prompted by WCU's Chancellor Coulter and is being coordinated by the university's School of Education and Psychology. Lester Laminack, chairman of th LIFE Network and interim director of the WCU Reading Center spoke of the necessity of this program for the region, its. goals and the problems facing it. The eleven westernmost counties of North Carolina suffer the highest rate of illiteracy in the state. The 1980 census reported that there are over 400,000 functionally illiterate adults in these counties. "It is important" stated Laminack "to realize that the illiterate adult fits no stereotype, and school completion is not an accurate indicator of a person's literacy level. A person may be functionally illiterate and still operate successfully in the community." LIFE began last November as a small committee which has now grown to include forty represenatives of community colleges and universities, social and community services agencies, school systems, libraries, and existing literacy councils. According to Laminack, LIFE has the committment of the regional administrators and now they are faced with finding the funding to support the program. While LIFE funding has been denied by the Southern Education Foundation, Laminack is optimistic about receiving grants from other organizations interested in combatting illiteracy. Organizations such as the Mott Foundation, the Kellogg Foundation and America Honda will be approcached by LIFE tor financial backing. The goal of LIFE is to become a major resource center to aid volunteers in reaching and instructing illiterate adults. While the actual literacy porograms will be conducted at the local community level, LIFE will provide a network that supports these efforts and provides successful techniques and materials to its volunteers. The members of LIFE will share their experiences and provide alternatives to problems encountered. LIFE will also see what can be done to improve the cirriculum material used in teaching adults. Laminach said there is a shortage of beginning- reading material for adults. Most of the material available is directed at chilren and adult students find this insulting and boring. LIFE also plans to institute a permanent, tollfree hot-line so that people who want to learn to read can contact those who can help them.

Stereotypes abound, but not every Asian is responsible for our country's trade imbalance. What a great irony it is that we alienate on our own soil the citizens of nations we journey great lengths to influence. The U.S. government annually allocates $15 billion, divided almost equally into military and economic aid, to foreign countries. To add a personal touch, we have sent, since 1961, more than 120,000 Peace Corps volunteers to 92 nations. Yet when we entertain strangers in our midst, instead of saying, "Welcome to our home," the words many foreigners seem to hear, expressly or not, are "Go Home." Apparently we did not endear ourselves to Lt. Col. Mengistu Haile Mariam, who trained at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, a U.S. Army ordnance base in Maryland. After he seized power in Ethiopia, Mengistu expelled more than 341 American military men and civilian and signed cooperative accords with the U.S.S.R. The strategic possibilities of forging friendships with foreign students are so beneficial that Richard Berendzen, president of American University in Washington, D.C, has advocated increased government support for international education. The "future leaders of the developing world," he has said, not only will get a diploma in the United States but also will gain "some understanding of our culture ranging from or form of government to our sports, from our TV to our food, from our business life to our spiritual life." The political benefits are obvious. The next wave of world leaders is here. Influence the world; go our and make a foreign friend.
