Students express dissenting views
on slavery compensation issue
By David John Chavez
The National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations
in America (N'CbBRA) ha^decided to fight for the
compensation of slavery and die racial discrimina¬
tion that has followed. This would monetarily com¬
pensate those who are descendants of slaves.
The Rainbow Coalition, which is founded by the
Reverend JeJoe Jackson, is looking for a combination
of housing, education and new jobs.'
"Blacks stayed in slavery for 246 years," said
Raymond Jenkins, who is the head of N'COBRA in
the Detroit area.
"Japanese were in camps three years and got
$20000."
Congress awarded compensation of $20,000 a
head to the 80,000 Japanese-Americans who actually
were interned during World War ft
Students on the CSU, Frenso campus have
mixed views on the topic.
"I don't see anything wrong with it," said Carl
Cockerham, a senior journalism major.
"The only people that it wouldn't be fair to is
the African-American's who have iived and died."
"VI they can compensate people who they went
to war with they could compensate people who
built this country," said Cockerham.
"It is obvious that there has to be some land of
compensati^fCbut not necessarily money," said
Esteban Licea, a senior majoring in philosophy.
There has to be some form of social justice.
There is still a lot of repercussions from slavery."
Not all students agreed with the idea of com¬
pensation.

Study says 5 million
go hungry regularly
By Vonnie Griva
More than 5 million residents,
including many in Frenso

leased by the California-Nevada'
Community Action Coalition
says hunger is on the rise and it's
especially concentrated in rural
"Rural communities lacking
pantry's and soup kitchens are
facing hard times," said Zy
Weinberg, author of the "Hun¬
ger in California — A State of
Need" report
"Emergency food assistance
programs are the backbone for
many people,"Weinberg said.
To ease the hunger of local
poverty stricken fari'iilies, several
non-profit organizations like me
Salvation Army, Food Inc.,
Pavarello House and the Rescue
Mission provide hot meals and
other essentials for families who
otherwise could not provide for
Jeneen Tex, executive assis¬
tant at Food Inc., said her organi¬
zation collects food on a year-
round basis for 36 emergency
food pantries who service mainly
the homeless population and
low-income families.
"Out of the 36 agencies," Tex
said, "there has been an increase
in 3,000 people requesting food
this month."
Tex said those who are inter¬
ested in donating canned goods
can go through Gottschalks, Val¬
ley Wide Bank, Boy Scouts of
America, and some groups at
California State University,
Fresno.
The Rescue Mission willse rve
a Thanksgiving dinner, open to
anyone in need, at noon on the
Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
-300-500 are expected to attend..
The food will be served by vol¬
unteers.

sion, 75 percent are single home¬
less persons and 25 percent
homeless families. Most stay at
