THERE'S A RUMOR SPREADING

it into your busy schedule.
Well, my friend, dilly-dally no
longer. Because every day you
don't test the Pizza Hut rumor is
a day without the fresh-crusted,
thick-cheesed, extra-saucy pizza.
And without  huge  hot or cold
Pizza Hut Sandwich Supremes.
And without garden fresh salad
and all sorts of hot and cold

more like a big cozy den than a

But you don't have to take our
word for it. You'll never know the
truth about Pizza Hut unless you

PROFESSOR LESTER RIGGINS
Professor says Action Program is a success
.:ivi this can be particularly attributed to Professor "Lester

... provide hu
i volunteer basis to organizations, agencies, and groups,
working toward the elimination
>f the causes of poverty. This Is
possible by making federal
grants to educational Institutions
to establish their own UYA program. The program recruits,
trains, supports, and provides
academic credit for students for
Mrs. Sandna Stweard, this
.ear's director, says there are
approximately 27 students in the
program. But Rlgglns differs
with  this   flguie.   Rlgglns said,
students currently In the program. Also It is a mixture of
volunteers that are Black, Chl-
Rlgglns
In volunteers to a lack of cooperation and "negative feelings'
toward the program by different
departments on campus. Rlgglns
said the Education Department
refused to cooperate with him
on the Action program.
In Ihe beginning, an agreement
was made with professors so
that the students would not have
to attend classes while they were
training. The students also would
have liked to receive credit for
field work In UYA from their
major department. But many of
the departments did not follow
through with this agreement. The
students, however, were paid an
average of $165 a month for an
eight hour day in the field.
There are twoprogramsunder
UYA -MAP(MigrantAssistance
Program) and RAP (Reading Assistance Program), ofwhlchRlg-
glns is the head. MAP Is geared
toward helping migrant workers
with a bilingual program. RAP's
main objective Is to help the
underachieves to Improve their
reading skills.
RAP was adopted by six of the
Fresno City Unified Schools.
Four are schools that are located
on the. West side of Fresno -
Bethune, Tollman, Columbia and
Irwin Junior High. The other
two schools are located In East
and North Fresno — Burroughs
(predominantly ' Chicano students) and Norseman (Predominantly white).
Rlgglns said the program, despite opposition and the fact that
it has'been in operation for only
six months, has been a success.
"Uean (Charles) Denton, of Social Science.* said Rlgglns, "was
a primary architect In this program." Denton and Rlgglns took
the plan to Washington to get Its
approval. Washington gave Its
approval, but they encountered
- opposition   from  the Academic
Planning and Policy Committee
at CSUF.
When Rlgglns temporarily left
In August to go to East Africa,
James Whitehead was then appointed in his place as program
MAP programs.
Whitehead wrote in a memo
his evaluation of UYA: "Upon
thorough consideration of these
factors, it is my opinion that continuation of Ihe program would
be detrimental to the interests
of the University and the volunteers. For this reason. It Is my
recommendation that the program should he phased out at the
expiration of the current contract, January 31, 1974.*
■ Contrary to this viewpoint,
the Fresno City Unified School
District had given their cooperation to Ihe UYA program. The
majority of schools that participated  In the program, gave
favorable evaluation. Agencies
and groups, such as Kearney
Cooley Plaza, Tjrote about how
UYA organized « Boys Club and
Girls Club. The Self Help Coalition expressed their thanks for
having been'provided with tutors
and personal attention to students' reading needs.* Bethune
School did express that they felt
the UYA students needed more
orientation from their college
supervisors.
How were the students to get
orientation, If some departments
just refused to cooperate with
the UYA program? Ironically,
the program did make It through
the year. They had a fund of
$50,000 coming out of the community and $100,000 from federal grants given by the govern-
Thls school year* Rlgglns did
express optimism for the UYA
program, because the RAP program has Just been reapproved
for a continuation of lis work.
Black artist is convicted in assault case by all-white jury

but a problem.
•That's what I've tried to devote my life to — dealing with
those problems.*
Those words were spoken recently by 26-year-old former
Sacramento artist Mark Anthony
See related story on pane 3.
The statement was made .during reflective moments while
the artist was in Sacramento
earlier this month to stand trial
In Municipal Court, where an

Imprisonment when Teemer returns before Judge Lawrence
Marvin Oct. 30 for sentencing.
In an effort to prevent the
popular young artist and onetime local activist from being
locked away In prison, a group
of local supporters have formed
the *Ad Hoc Committee to Free
Mark Teemer,* and are seeking
to rally community support on
Ms behalf. "Already numerous
letters have been written toSac-

Marvin along with a recommendation on the sentence Teenier

Is being set up to cover costs of
appealing the verdict.
Teemer's predicament Stems
from a traffic Incldent.lnvolvlng

Cheryl Ann Slayton, and motorist Steve V. Crapo the morning
of March 12. Teemer had Just
dropped  the  child  off  at  the
corner of 4th Avenue and Santa
Cruz Way so that she could board
a bus to David Lubln School In
east Sacramento.
•I was about to get back Into
the car, though Cheryl Ann had
not completely crossed the
street, when I saw a purple
Dodge Charger - hiked up In
the back and equipped with wide
tires - speed by,* he recalls.
His tone and gestures betray his
lng sound, and looked back In

From that point, Teemer says
he cannot recall what occurred.
However, official reports and
court testimony was that he beat
