Calls for Black separation have run the gamut fron demands for separate Black ing facilities and parking lots to cries for separate Black Instructional facilities and curricula. Although the spec!

One week of celebration and fifty - one weeks of hell. (In many cases there are fifty-two weeks of hell.) - This Is the Black Ufe pattern aU over this United States of America. In 1968, the year of Fresno State College's first Black History Week celebration and also the year of the brutal assassination of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. FresnoState College promised to do everything possible to reduce the suffering for Black Americans. For a Uttle over a year Black, Brown and White people worked together to reduce the suffering at Fresno State College. Though the times were not always peaceful people of all colors found they could work together. They worked toward solving the problems which led to the riots of 'es.'ee.'e? and •68 and eventually to the death of Dr. King. Today, three years later, nearly all hope has been destroyed. Work on the problems of minority students has been abandoned. The coUege is no longer working toward the goals of the King era. The problems of minority students--Black, Brown yond that of 1968. At the same time the committment of the college has evaporated with the times. The fact Is that the college appears to be committed toward something other than e- qual rights and opportunities for all. Within one year the Educational Opportunity Program and the Ethnic Studies Program has nearly been completely destroyed and replaced with zeroes (sometimes called place holders). Today lt Is Impossible to work toward the principals of the era of Dr. King. Any or every student who has adopted his prin cipals and methods haa been disciplined. Faculty members such as Richard Keyes, Ell Rls- co, Nathan Heard and most recently Dr. Joe David Toney have been dismissed from their Jobs because they practiced the philosophy of 'Dr. King. Administrators such as Dale Burtner, Harold Walker and Don Albright who acUvely worked toward a campus of equal opportunities have been stripped of their UUes and power and punished tor their association with Black, Brown and Red students and faculty members. (A lesson to aU white administrators and others) Their replacements: Jimmy, the gunman, Fikes, philUp. Walker, Chester Cole and Deryle Allen; men who have actively opposed equal rights. This Is done as Norman Baxter verbalizes a committment to minority students and programs. NORMAN- MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL Nixon Administration's task: vanquishing Black Capitalism One task the Nixon AdministraUon has chosen Is the Job of preventing wholesale waste of money and human capital by vanquishing Black CapltaUsm. (Black Capitalism Is an anachronism created by the pubUc relations men of the Nixon organization for Black consumption.) - They have formulated the theses (1) Blacks are turning down high paying Jobs for self-employment, and (2) the government has wasted billions of dollars attempting to aid them In their entrepreneur- ship. ' The Nixon organization projects that given the smaU scale and kinds of Black businesses now exlsUng In the Black community, very Uttle real business growth or employment opportunities for Blacks can be expected. Nixon does not, though, as he might have, take the same data and his knowledge of the drift of the economy'to suggest con- soUdatlon of small Inefficient operations, massive government aid, new monetary and fiscal policies or new areas of future opportunities tor prospecUve Black entrepreneur: franchises, cooperatives, Joint ventures, larger corporate structures, development .corporaUon, have not been sufficiently tried to warrant their complete dismissal al this time. If Blacks are capable of performing successfully as managers and officials of white-owned companies, then surely under the proper con- dltlons they can participate in own. For self-employment and managerial situation are mutually complimentary and should be Included in any Ust of programs designed for economic advancement of minorities in industrialized economies. When we take up the ques- ' Uon of every ghetto dweUer getting a higher paying Job, we see that this does not necessarily mean an Increase to net assets for Blacks, but for a majority of Blacks, a proportionate decrease In economic weU being. For the purpose of showing how the aforementioned situation may occur, I shall employ two basic tools of economic analysis: (1) price Is a function of (dependent upon) supply and demand; (2) poor people have a high prop-, enslty to consume. There are, of course, many other factors which could be considered but their Inclusion would only add complexities to the analysis. If we hold supply constant, then price Is simply a function of Last attempt is made by Daley Democrats to down Black voters problems I by the Black Across America, Blacks have : demanded separate educaUonal facilities.

Under thenew map Blacks can only elect a maximum of IS councllmen. Pres ently there are 10 in the City Council and all but two of them are Daley men. A federal suit has been filed by OperaUon Breadbasket of SCLC, Alderman William Cousins and.many other civic groups. The plalnUffs want the map rejected and the upcoming alder- manic elections scheduled for February postponed untU a later date. The suit was rejected by toe federal district court Judge Sam- muel Perry. Tbe effect of this ruling is to strength of Blacks and other ml- norltles. Blacks number about 40 per cent of the population yet ■ the potential WUUam Counslna (8th ward) and Sammy Ray nee (6th ward). Within the next loyearsBlacks should have at least 20 aldermen, and Spanish -speaking people five. There are many minority persons running as independents for aldermen but only a handful have real chance of winning. Those Blacks who will win are Daley men wbo will be supported by the democratlc' patronage machine. (Continued on Page 3, Col. 4) By demand, goods. Suppose some average ghetto households earning $4,000 are able to increase their income to $6,000 per year. At $4,000 per year ( national poverty level for a family of tour), they consumed most of what they earned in order to sustain themselves and their families. With a $2,000 Inverse, they would have more to spend before taxes. According to our second economic tool, they will spend pracUcally all of lt acquiring mora goods and services. Assuming thai they would have satisfied basic need out of the Initial $4,000, the addlUonal $2,000 will be used to buy luxuries. Because of the generally higher prices of these articles, most must be bought on credit. Credit, of course, is very expensive for the ghetto dweUee. According to economic tool number one, thlf increased demand will, other things being equal or conslstant, Induce a rise In price. This price wlU Individuals are worse off because they now have an expensive debt which they probably would not have Incurred at toe lower or flrst subsistence leveL National Inflation the burden of. the poor This theoretical analysis hast been found consistent with relevant data.
