MADAME C.J. WALKER
Madame C.J. Walker believed her secret remedy for Black
women’s hair came to her in a dream. Upon noticing the loss
of her own hair, she created a remedy that she saw in a
dream.
The secret fromula for black women’s hair and her famous
straightening comb soon became a booming business. The
Walker salons employed thousands and sold a line of cos-
metics-business was done “The Walker Way.”
She was the former Sarah Breedlove, born on a Louisiana
farm and orphaned at 7. After the death of her husband at
20, Madame C.J. Walker moved to Indianapolis and soon be
came the first black woman millionaire. All of her wealth was
left to charities when she died in 1919. She requested that
Madame C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company always retain
a women president.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Iranian
refugees in the United States have a
better-than-ever chance of winning
asylum. For Poles, the odds are SO
SO. But refugees from El Salvador
are approved less than 5 percent of
the time, with the other 95 percent
facing deportation.
Federal statistics show the dispar
ity, but don’t explain it. A dispute
over the cause is certain to boil over
this year in Congress, when lawmak
ers take up legislation to grant all
Salvadorans a haven for two years.
Archbishop Arturo Rivera y
Damas of El Salvador wrote mem
bers of Congress in November 1985
that U.S. officials “have closed their
doors and their hearts” to his flock
in this country. A number of law
makers agree, saying asylum appro
vals would embarrass a friendly gov
ernment that receives U.S. aid.

The Reagan administration vigor
ously denies that it is using the asy
lum program to dole out rewards
and punishments based on foreign
policy interests.
Asylum is a form of amnesty for
foreigners with a legitimate fear of
persecution in their own countries.
Each case is supposed to be consid
ered on its merits; every applicant is
to be given an equal chance.
Rep. Joseph Moakley, D-Mass.,
and Sen. Dennis DeConcini, D-Ariz.,
have introduced bills that would al
low all Salvadorans without legal sta
tus to remain in this country for two
years, while the General Accounting
Office studies conditions they would
face if sent home.

Moakley, in an admitted effort to
pick up votes, included the same re
lief for Nicaraguans who want to
avoid returning to live under the
Sandinista government.
The temporary stay is called ex
tended voluntary departure, which
allows anyone from a selected coun
try to stay until the status is revoked
by the attorney general. Currently,
“EVD” applies to those who came
here from Afghanistan, Poles who
arrived by July 21, 1984, and Ethio
pians who came prior to July 1,
1980.
The Refugee Act of 1980 defines
refugees as those unwilling or un
able to return home because of a
“well-founded fear of persecution”
on account of race, religion, nation
ality, political opinion or mem
bership in a social group.
ice our students. Now there are
schools, or some part of a school,
that may be going after the outside
business. When schools have done
that it probably infringed on some
private business people.
“But in a case where your store or
your school is really there to serve
that campus community and isn’t
seeking business outside the campus,
I think they’re barking up the wrong
tree.”
Bill Varney, associate vice presi
dent for administrative services at
the University of Arizona, said, “Ari
zona State University was manufac
turing solar energy kits. You could
take a course at Arizona State Uni
versity in the College of Engineering
and learn how to build a solar en
ergy kit on your roof to heat your
water. This is what brought the
whole bill about.”
The catch to the course was that
you had to buy the solar energy kit
from the College of Engineering
and they made the profit off of it,
Varney said.
Northern Arizona University’s
forestry program was doing the
same type of thing with log cabins,
he said.
Varney said the University of Ari
zona has a committee that keeps a
watch on departments and colleges
of the university to make sure pro
grams that may cause problems with
private enterprise are avoided.
“I don’t think (House Bill) 2148
has been that bad,” he said. “A lot of
people jump up and down and point
to Arizona State and say, ‘Look what
happened there.’ We just have to be
careful as administrators and block
somebody when they get a bright
idea to try and make some extra
bucks.”
Don Powell, director of business
services at Texas A&M, said A&M is
not really in competition with local
businesses.
“They have their clientele to serve
and we have our clientele to serve.
We don’t try to compete with them.
We don’t advertise off campus. The
only way we advertise is in /Vie Bat

"We think it’s best fa

get the best deal.”
