SUfT Reporter
Astrology is the 'Illegitimate
sister of psychology*, according
to Clyde Beauregard Vance, who
spoke Friday as a part of-Psy-
chology Day.
Vance said not enough Is known
about' astrology to make It respectable even though It has been
around for 2,000 years.
It has gained a bad attitude
through the idea that some entity
Is forcing you to do something,
she said, and this tsanoppreslve
type of psychology.
•There Is a feeling astrology
craft, and the devil,' said Vance.
astrology received the Image of
the secret Illegitimate sister of
psychology. Sometimes It Is Ignored and other times It Is labeled seductive, she said.

said Vance, who has taught astrology courses at CSUF.
Some  or the political leaders
Vance mentioned as having their
own personal   astrologers were
Adolph Hitler, Rudolph Hess,
and Ronald Reagan.
Earliest astrology goes hack to
ancient Babylon, said Vance. The
Babylonians theorized there must
the movements olother stars.
Between those days and the 19th
century the popularity of astrology fluctuated greatly, said
Vance. Then In the 1800's It became a 'seductive sister" In the
form of occultism. Today, It Is
growing In new ways, she said.
•Smart astrologers are also
recognizing heredity and environment," she said.
One of the newest ways to use
astrology   Is as a psychological
trologer will discuss a patient's
personality with the psychologist
before the patient's appointment.
That way the psychologist can get

Professor, student point with pride to their blackness
by Michael Robinson
Starr  Iteporter
The most Important thing ror
Mack America today Is the unification   or the  black   man  and
This Is the view or Michael
Metcalfe, a senior criminology
major and a black man.
"I've been through a lot, too,"
Metcaire   said   relating  his   ex-
experlence ot his African ancestry, "but no matter what we

But," he added, "my hate for
black people Is what Is tear-
me down."
ictcalfe said his 'hate' cen-
black people 'rlp-
the white man's game Is deadlier,
and he plays ror keeps."
Metcalfe said for him, the
white man Is a source or money
and economic achievement.
•But as a whole, the white
man Is a brainwashing system. I
state that simply because he has
brainwashed so many black
people Into believing that the unknown Is the known Ij the realities
of thinking that the black man
can prosper through his means

"It you destroy their mind, you »
destroy  their whole  concept of

said. "He lets you go so rar and
then he'll close the door."
•He'll let you.advance so tar
and then he'll cut you off because
he doesn't want you to be on the
same level.'
Metcalfe said the black society
and the white society are different. 'They've got to be different.
No black man can be white, I
don't give a damn what they do,"
Metcalfe said. 'And no white man
can be black and I don't give a

Black Africa has left Metcalfe
with an Identify of who he Is,
an Important concept for a black
man today, according to Metcaire.

According to Metcalfe, these
are the only qualities a black
needs to live In a white world,
the qualities of knowing who you
are. According to Metcaire, after
knowing oneself, the black man
can then unite together for the
betterment of all.
Professor Lester Rlgglns or
the Ethnic Studies, Department
agrees In part with Metcaire.
Rfcglns too," says the black man
needs to unite, but not Individually.
•The black must unite and
throw away the Individuality,*
Rlgglns said.
The black man who went on his'
own only to make It big and then
forgot his people is one of the
big damages to the black people, according to Rlgglns.
"They^re   just  playing Into
the man's hands,' Rlgglns said.
Rlgglns said he too sees Africa
as his homeland, and like Metcalfe, Africa Is the base «f Ids
heritage. *
According to Rlgglns, It Is Important to know a lot about one's
heritage.

i  noted. «We have lived and
s. We are Americans as
whole and our roots are here.'
Rlgglns said many ot today's
black youths are Ignorant or their
heritage. 'Knowing about your
background doesn't mean being
belligerent," Rlgglns said, 'but
being together.*
"In the CO's we were really
doing good," Rlgglns satd ot the
black movement, 'not only because or the blacks but because
or the whites, too.' Rlgglns cited
such whites as the Kennedys and
Lyndon Johnson as aiding the
civil rights movement.
He said some whites, such as
Johnson, may have had an ul- i
terlor motive such as being noted
in history, but according to Rig-
gins, If the Job was accomplished
It really did not matter.
Rlgglns attacked America's
foreign policy where It pertained
to black Africa and specifically
Rhodesia where Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger recently
told the white minority government that America was In favor
of a majority rule.
'It Is not applied here,* Rlg
glns charged. "America talks out
of the side of Its month,'be said,
noting that even In Fresno white
people run the predominantly
black schools.
He said the black society needs
Mack models to live up to. He
said that was hand for the black
children to do when they only
saw white policemen, firemen and
. Rlggins agreed with Metcalfe
and said the white and black societies are separate.
•We are still separate and we
have to deal with the system,'
Rlgglns said.
NOT FREE
"I can't come here being a free
and open man,' be said, •because
he (white man) Is out to do me in.
Not because he wants to, but be-
Riggins said he believes the
white man, too, has been conditioned In his actions towards the
black man.
Rlgglns said the violence that
precipitated the black movement
In the 60's was to be expected.
•All groups have to go through
it. It gave them a feeling of
strength, but It also cost them a

Wheelchair doesn't stop
student's missionary call
SUfr Reporter
1 thought this might be the
end ot my dream,* said David
Masslnglll, a graduate student
In accounting. Masslnglll Is one
of those lucky people who has
had a dream come true despite
ridiculously high odds against it.
I've always wanted to be a
missionary,* he'explained as he
shifted position In his wheelchair.   'It's   been   a life-long
By the end of the summer, he
expects to be keeping records
and teaching accounting In Pallia,
a growing city In newly Independent New Guinea. But three-
and-a-half years ago; Masslnglll,
married only three months, was
Involved In an automobile accident   which   confined htm to a
DAVID MASSING!LL
He said he was fortunate because by the time his memory
returned he had adjusted to the
.new situation, one which has ,
slowed, but not stopped Ms dream
from coming true.
He must now obtain a doctor's
permission to travel abroad and
written permission from the host
country. He said foreign countries are a little reluctant to
allow handicapped people to enter
because If they cannot tend for
themselves, they may be forced
to get on the host country's welfare program.
But Masslnglll, one of seven
applicants, Is sure he has got the
Job. He said that I the were turned
down,   he would know by  now.
•I'm not really worried about
It,' he said. "I'm not holding my
breath or anything.*
So far, the church has accepted
Masslnglll and Investigated the
hazards he might encounter, and
decided that a handicapped person could get along all right. Despite the need for frequent trips
to the medical facilities In Australia for a bladder Infection,
which be describes as "an occupational hazard of a wheelchair,'
the'doctors said there would be
no problem, according to Masslnglll.
He win be attending six weeks
of language training before he
takes over his $7,000 to $8,000 a
year position. The Job includes
keeping the church's books and
teaching accounting methods to
the native industries. According
to the student, most of the industries now are foreign-owned
or small subsistence-type businesses. Currently, said Masslnglll, there are not any real facilities to teach the local people
He said the population, which
is less than three million, Is
growing and the most exciting
prospect for him is his part In
trying to establish a middle eco-
unless facilities are expanded to
cope with the Increase In the
number of people.
Setting up an efficient business
system will help expand the economic and social condition In the
country, he said.
Masslnglll said his friends
could not understand why he
would want such a low-paying Job,
even though 100 per cent of his
living expenses are being paid by
