Determining the Future Policies for Disaster Management in the Southwest Pacific
There are still deficiencies in the delivery of disaster aid and the overall policies need further re-examination. This paper looks at the particular circumstances of the island nations of the Southwest Pacific. In their context, dependence on outside help for counter-disaster management is recognised, but in the light of the present economic, social, cultural and political characteristics of these countries, it is concluded that aid donors shoul…

Factors Influencing the Decisions of Academically Talented Black Students to Attend College
Recently, college administrators, social research institutes, politicians, and civic leaders have expressed concern about the decrease in the number of Blacks who apply to college. Prominent among the reasons given for the drop in applications and acceptance of Blacks by colleges are: rapidly expanding tuition costs, a shift in student financial assistance from grants to low-interest loans, an increase in the number of minority households below t…
Genocide Fears in a Rural Black Community
Since the urban unrest of the mid-1960s, controversy has developed among Blacks about the perception of birth control programs as a thinly disguised scheme to commit genocide against people of African origin in the United States and elsewhere (Weisbord, 1973). Some scholarly critiques and antibirth-control activities of Afro-Americans and other Third World people reflect a degree of concern with this issue. St. Clair Drake (Yette, 1971: 296) obse…
Concern for Geography
The Developmental Process and Outcome of an Alternative School
The unfolding of diverse strategies by Black communities aimed at making substantive changes within the public schools attended by their children, represent both a reaction to past unfilled promises, and a developing pro-active stance toward self-determination. This paper is an account of one of many struggles waged by Blacks to overcome the inadequacies and unresponsiveness of schools attended by their children. It is also an example of a Black …

Women's Groups as Altenative Human Service Agencies
The radical movements of the 60's were punctuated by the revival of feminism. As the movements demanded that disenfranchised citizens be allowed to actively participate in societal decisionmaking, women became cognizant of the fact that even within the movements they continued to be relegated to second class status. This realization served as a catalyst for the reemergence of the women's movement within American society. Feminist ideas spread rap…

While these principles are not peculiar to schools of social work, these schools are singled out along with two related problems identified often by persons employed in these schools as ones for which few effective innovations have been implemented. These problems center upon h…
