Three Rock residents
not squatters
To the Editor:
I strongly object to the Collegian's use
of the word 'squatters' in referring to
the Three Rocks Community fSquatters
requested to leave', Thursday, Sept. 11,
1960)
Those hard-working citizens of Fresno
Co have been there for "years, have
planted fruit trees and raised gardens
and now are told to move They have fos¬
tered a sense of community that many of
us living in the urban wasteland long for.
To me, a "squatter" is someone, who
has moved onto a piece of land against
the will of the "legal" owner This is not
the case at Three Rocks Had they been
living there against any landlord's will,
you can better believe they would have
been forced to leave years ago
The reasons given by the authorities
for the forced move is violation of Health
Codes and Zoning Regulations. Hardly a
good reason when one considers certain
monies available to rectify the health
problems and the many zoning changes
that have been granted to other "Special
Interests" in the past.
I personally am still in favor of allow¬
ing the Three Rocks Community to con¬
tinue existing at its present location,
with Fresno County putting some of its
money and energy into solving the prob¬
lems there. But unfortunately it looks as
if the forced move to Cantua Creek will
happen after all—and with it, all the new
problems brought on by such a harsh
action..
Whil I appreciate the humanitarian
measures taken by the county and Eco¬
nomic Opportunities Commission In of¬
fering relocation assistance and new
housing, I feel they are truly missing out
on a chance of a lifetime by 'not going
beyond these 'traditional and accepted*
actions, and giving the residents control
and ownership of  their new environ-
I'm referring to giving the Three
Rocks people and the county the chance
at cooperating together and participating
in a unique experiment in NEW TOWN
DEVELOPMENT, which would be a
definite first in the State of California. A
new town which would be owned by the
Three Rocks Association lor similar fed¬
eration of residents), for the benefit of all
the residents. Community ownership Is
not new (Fresno owns its airport, sewage
system, etc.)—what is new would be the
cooperative ownership of the town's
land. The time has come for this experi¬
ment in democratic living. Let' s give It a
try in Fresno County. The people de¬
serve more than just subsidized housing,
after being forced from the land.
They are rooted too. Let's all help.

Dorm minorities
not represented
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to the dorm
living for black students. I realize that
dorm living carries a great deal of advan¬
tage, for all students but, for minority
students there are more disadvantages
than advantages.
For instance, minority students re¬
ceive no say in interdorm activities. Be¬
cause, the majority of students living in
the dorm are white, everything involving
and surrounding the dorm life is center¬
ed around what they like, how they
believe, and how they feel.
In other words, the feelings and be¬
liefs of the minority students are hardly
recognized, if recognized at all. Because
of the discriminatory treatment black
students In the dorm receive, they're
beginning to take a powerful stand of
action.
In addition, to this powerful stand a
Black man named Charlie Miller was
hired as assistant director of housing
But, when asking Black residence stu¬
dents what their opinion of Charlie Mil¬
ler is, the responses were mostly nega¬
tive. But, when asking white students
what their opinion of Charlie Miller is,
the responses were mostly O.K.  and
The only question I have is why
couldn't the responses be equal, or the
black students have a more positive res¬
ponse toward him.
It is understood that his job requires
him to satisfy the needs of all students,
but, black students should also be able to
look to him for guidance and support. In
addition, the interdorm activity I would
like to say that many schools have a
reputation for being partying schools be¬
cause of the many social outlets that
exist.
I contend that more damage is done to
the student academically when he at¬
tends a campus that does not offer activ¬
ities which are of interest to him.
For instance, Fresno State is well
known for sponsoring rock groups such
as "Papa Doo Run Run* for Vintage
Days. And other type shows or events
that are of no interest to most of the
black students.
In all, I feel that the dorm living for
blacks, and other minorities is a institu¬
tion rather than a school
lemetric Battieste
cause in the Joyal Administration build¬
ing there is a book of computer read outs
for each student's schedule (thank good-
Part of the delay in my receiving the
schedule was because the registrar's
office still didn't know my new address,
(I filled out a change-of-address form
last month I) So the schedule first went to
my old dorm address, then to my par¬
ent's house in San Luis Obispo and final¬
ly to in me in Fresno, four days later. It's
a good thing I wasn't waiting for any¬
thing import .ml'
But,-then again, I'm still pretty lucky,
my roommate is still waiting for her
schedule!
