Thank you for your cooperation.
To the editor.
It is really interesting that one, as
political science professor Aruri, sees so
clearly the Palestinian dilemma; yet he so
ironically eludes the right of Israel to seek
peace. Of course Peace to me includes
Israel being accepted by its neighbors; yet
this professor holds that Israeli treatment
'towards the Arab world* is unparalleled.
What escapes his perception is the treatment of the Arab world toward Israel.
Israel, after trading the Sinai in Camp
David, is leu than 9,000 sq. mi., with a
population of about 4 million; whereas
the 18 countries that comprise the Arab
world are about 4.6 million sq. mi., with a
population of over ISO million. That is
roughly the area of the San Joaquin
Valley with one-half the population density of Fresno, compared to the area of the
United States with a population density
I/30th that of Fresno.
Yet the Arab world, except for Egypt,
bo> cots Israel and compells those nations
that buy their oil to boycot Israel both
economically and diplomatically. Since
1948. Israel has been attacked by aggressive alliances that sought the destruction
of its sovereignty (ie. '48, '56, '67, & 73
wars). The holy wars that persist are as
much a means to dispose of Israel. Attempts to bring the P.L.O. to the conference stand in full view of Arafat dancing
over the assassination of Anwar Sadat
and the P.LO.'s vow to destroy Israel.
Syria and Libya deal willingly with the
U.S.S.R., in order to harbor the P.L.O.
and arm against Israel.
There can be no PEACE without realization on both sides—that Israel and
Palestinians have a common stake—that
neither will walk away from this land. It is
naive to think that tensions will cease or
that only representing one side can mean
justice. We are not in a position to decide,
but can only witness what will transpire,
be it a continuing of disdain or a way for
humanity to make amends. I pray that
wisdom is with the latter and the PEACE
u in GOO's time.

Straight Talk
My warmest congratulations goes out
to our fraternities on the newest additions
to their families. This has to be the finest
effort I've seen come from either of your
families; and I might add. you have made
excellent selections. In my opinion, your
new babies are high in character and one's
who will certainly benefit from the togetherness of your families. I'm sure they
will represent you well.
I sincerely hope other organizations
wilt follow suit with intense efforts of
togetherness, so vitally important to then-
progress and stability. For at present, we
are suffering from a lack of versatility of
interaction within our own system; that in
itself, leaves something left to be desired.

LEGACY OF A BLACK GIANT:
MARCUS GARVEY.
AFRICAN AMERICAN LEADER. PAR
EXCELLENCE
One of the most remarkable black leaders of the 20th Century was Marcus Gar-
vey. a Jamaican-born leader who went to
Harlem in 1916. He led a movement that
attempted to arouse black consciousness
and give Black Americans a fresh start in
their ancestral home of Africa. Garvey
proclaimed his credo in these excerpts
from Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus
You and I can live in the United Slates
of America for 100 years, and our generations may live for 200 years or for 5.000
more years, and as long as there is a black
and white population, when the majority
is on the side of the white race, you and I
■will never get political justice or get politi-
, cat equality in this country....
We declare to the world that Africa
must be free, that the Negro race must be
emancipated from industrial bondage and
serfdom. We have suffered for three
hundred years: therefore we feel that the
time has come when only those who have
suffered with us can interpret our feelings
and our spirit. Honest students of history
can recall the day when Egypt. Ethiopia
and Timbuctoo towered above Europe,
lowered above Asia. Why, then should we
lose hope? Black men. you were once
great; you shall be great again. Lose not
courage, go forward. Gel organized.and
you will compel the world to respect you.
I have a vision of the future, and I see a
picture of a redeemed Africa, with her
beautiful civilization, with her millions of
happy children, going to and fro. Lift up
yourselves, men. take yourselves out of
the mire and hitch your hopes to the stars.

A very informed brief speech. He n

A   FACE   IN   THE   CROWD
Keith Moore is in his third year here at
Fresno State University, and is majoring
in Commercial Arts. He is a native of
Stockton. California; and he comes from
a family of seven. Like most people.
Keith's early childhood was full of love
but it was not without some discomforts.
His family lived in a three room apartment, ina very negative environment. The
neighborhood was full of drug addicts and
violent gangs. Keith's mother was a very
religious woman and she kept him. pretty
much, sheltered from the outside world;
therefore, his knowledge of the real world
was very limited. His world was made up
of home, relatives, and church activities
until his early teenage years.
"The majority of people in my neighborhood were not very positive role models.
Those who were showed coldness toward
others. Some people would treat you will
a little respect if they knew you. but if they
did not know you. you would be de-
In high school, he excelled in both
athletics and academics. He was a two
year letterman in both track and field. In
1979. he was named most valuable athlete
at Stagg High School. He was All-Northern Califomian in football. His position
was wide receiver. He was active in the
Black Student's Union for Progress at
Stagg. During Keith's high school days he
was also active in his churches youth choir.
After high school, he attended Fresno
City College. He was a member of their
four-hundred meter relay team which
finished third in the state of California.
Keith's biggest accomplishment so far.
while here at this university, happened last
month. His excellent performance in a
dual meet against San Jose State enabled
him to receive the San Joaquin Athlete of
the week award. He placed second in the
one-hundred meter with a time of 10.3 to
defeat Ken Thomas, the 1981 Pacific
Coast Athletic Association Champion in
the one-hundred meter race. He also
finished first in the two-hundred meter
race with a timeJof twenty-one and four
tenths. He ran second leg on the winning
four-hundred meter relay team. He hopes
to continue to improve his physical
condition so that when 1984 rolls around,
he will be in Los Angeles, ready to
compete in the Olympics. Another athletic goal is to play professional football.
Keith feels that the academic progam
here at CS U F is very good but he feels that
socially, it could be much better. He feels
that social interaction between various
racial groups is poor due to racial prejudice and ignorance of cultures.
Music happens to be one of Keith's
favorite hobbies. He listens and enjoys all
kinds of music. Another hobby, of course,
is "girl watching.' H is favorite hobby is art
which will be his career
"Life is to be enjoyed. It is not meant to
be complex. This idea is what made me get
into the world of art. It' is relaxing.
enjoyable, and hopefully. I can make a
decent living with art."
Although being an artist is what Keith
really wants to do for a living, he might,
possibly, enter the military to expand his
awareness of the world and other cultures.
He is also planning to attend graduate
school and get a masters degree in Business Administration.
Keith feels that all of his accomplishment and abilities would not have developed had it not been for support and
guidance of his mother, whom he loves
and respects a great deal. He feels she has
been his greatest inspiration.
"If it were not for my mother. I
probably would not be where I am today.
She gave me the determination to want to
succeed and make something out of myself."
Whatever Keith Moore decides to do
with hirnself. I fed he will be successful
because of his positive attitude and the
desire to want progress. He wants to be a
'positive face in the crowd." He says:
1 truly believe in the concept of being
the best person you can be in all aspects of
your life."
