NEWS OF THE MONTH
Barfield Resigns From Redevelopment Board For New Post
The departure of Tommy Barfield
from the Redevelopment Agency
Board is a tremendous loss to
the City of Fresno and especially
to the black community. He has
been an out-spoken member of the
board for the black community for
the past three years.
Barfield was recently chosen by
the Grapevine Magazine as one of
Fresno's Best Dressed Men. He received
his B.A. degree in Business
Administration from Fresno State
College and is presently working
for San Francisco's Redevelopment
Agency.
Trotter Named Executive Director
Dolphus Trotter, 29, has been
named executive director of the
West Fresno Federation of Neighborhood
Centers.
He is the second person to head
the federation since it was established
last year. Joe Lee, the first
director, resigned to accept a post
as vice principal in the Fresno
school systems. Trotter has been
Working as acting director since
Lee's resignation.

COMMUNITY AWARDS RECIPIENT
For her "unselfish community
services, particularly with the senior
citizens of Fresno", Mrs. Mayter
Alexander was named the 1969
Community Awards recipient by the
National Council of Negro Women,
Fresno Chapter.
Mrs. Alexander, who was honored
at a luncheon, was cited for her
work: sewing instructor for Trinity
Street Center in 1966; chairman of
senior citizens groups with the Model
Cities program; making dolls out
of stockings, crocheted hats and
bags out of bread wrappers and
pieced quilts with the senior citizens.
Currently, Mrs. Alexander is attempting
to encourage senior citizens
to join others in the Fresno
Learning Center held in the Fresno
Hotel.
U.S. SUPREME COURT ORDERS SCHOOLS TO START
INTEGRATION NOW!
After a long 15 years, 5 months and 12 days the Supreme Court has
announced flatly and unanimously it will tolerate no further delay in
school desegregation. The high court declared in a brief but historic rul-
ing that, "The obligation of every school district is to terminate dual
school systems at once and to operate now and hereafter only unitary
(integrated) schools."
President Nixon said after the decision the court had spoken decisively
and promised to exert this leadership in solving the practical and human
problems" growing out of the ruling.
The decision was a setback to the Nixon administration who had urged
the court to allow more time for integration of 33 school districts in
Mississippi.
Most Black people applauded the decision but at the same time felt
that the court acted 15 years, 5 months and 12 days too late. The fact
is that many black children who were not even in kindergarten at the
time of the Supreme Court's 1954 decision have already graduated from
high school, without once setting foot in an integrated classroom.

Fresno State College versus Marvin X
Marvin X (Marvin Jackson) a
lecturer in the Ethnic Studies Department
at Fresno State College is
taking the college administration,
State College Board of Trustees,
and Chancellor Glen Dumke to a
higher court to prevent them from
removing him from his college position
because of his draft status.
Marvin X, who is a Black Muslim
and has renounced his citizenship,
is under indictment by the
Federal government for draft evasion.
He is a graduate of Edison
High School of Fresno and has attended
Oakland City College and
San Francisco State College. He is
known throughout the United States for his poetry and theatre works.
Marvin, who was told by the College that his contract was pending
and had the backing of Professor Richard Keyes, head of the Ethnic
Studies Department, and Dr. Dale Burtner, Dean of the School of Arts
and Sciences, feels that if the college didn't want him to teach they
shoudn't have allowed him to set up his courses and actually meet
his classes unmolested by the administration from September 15 to October 2.
As a result of his hiring and Marvin's refusal not to stop teaching his
class, College president Dr. Frederick Ness resigned his post and a former
F.S.C. instructor, Dr. Karl Falk, was appointed.
Dr. Falk, after only five days in his office, made a major shakeup in
the college administrative structure. Many people believe that he removed
liberal elements from positions of influence and replaced them
with more conservative thinkers. In the move Dr. Burtner, who supported
Marvin X, was reassigned to planning duties and teaching duties in the
chemistry department.
Since the time of the changes made by Falk, Fresno State College
campus has been hit by vandalism. College security officers reported
that there has been a bomb scare, cement poured in toilets and a fire
caused by an arsonist.

Foster Wants Fight With Mohammad Ali
Fresno's undefeated heavyweight challenger, Mac Foster, who has 20
consecutive knockouts and will fight Texas's Cleveland Williams this
month, says he wants to fight heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali.
Foster, an ex-Marine, has been very critical about remarks made by
Ali concerning the armed services. Mac who is campaigning for a championship
fight is getting signatures from people who support him and
his military views throughout his route to Texas. He will present the book
of petition to Governor Smith and ask him to OK a fight with Muhammad
Ali in Houston, where Ali's world title was stripped after refusing to go
into the armed services.

1970 Head Start Program In Fresno County
By Wilbert Dunn, Sub-committee Chairman, Target Area 15 Commissioner
WILBERT DUNN
The Head Start Program in Fresno is truly a big business, designed to
do a big job, with an allocated funding of well over a million dollars for
1970. This program whose activities are directly under the control of the
Fresno County E.O.C. is showing promise and is really being effective in
a number of ways.
The program has over 25 head start teachers ,eight nurses, eight nurses
aides, nine social workers, and a language specialist. In addition, this
program operates in some thirty communities on a year around basis, has
five full time capacity directors including the Head Start Director, Deputy
Director, Social Services Director, Health Services Director and Education
and Career Development Director.
The goal of the Headstart Program is to give the 3 to 5 year old poverty
youngster a "real" headstart culturally, mentally, and socially toward
schools which make such demands on them. It is involved with giving the
parents a head start, and understanding of their youngsters and how to
adjust to school age youngsters. Also it gives the youngsters and parents
a better understanding of the schools which are sometimes drastically
different from the poverty children's homes. As programmed—it is believed
that the "Head Start" purpose will succeed and will reap many
rewards for its participants.
At the present time the Head Start Program is now in need of a director.
Salary starts at $13,400 per year with proper qualification. At present
there is a pressing effort to fill this post with a Black person. Apply at
2309 Tulare St., Fresno, Calif.

BLACK ARTS AND CULTURE
EUGENE E. WHITE
Eugene E. White, a well known
black artist throught the United
States, was in Fresno recently to
visit relatives before he and his
wife, Bobbie, started their twenty-eighth
trip throughout the United
States displaying his art work. His
art shows have been seen in many
of the larger colleges and universities
including Philander Smith,
Tuskegee, Fisk, Notre Dame, and
Howard.
White, who owns an art gallery
and studio in San Francisco, California,
has studied in several art
schools and colleges. His style and
technique are unique and were developed
on his own. His study of
people and their expressions, coupled with his ability to draw, has made
him known for his realistic expressions. There is a powerful, sometimes
violent, beauty in his artistic interpretation of black people. There is the
poetic beauty of black idiom. This is the artist's most profound contribution,
and it is significant that his art has never strayed far from the roots
which gave birth to the artist himself.
In a period when many artists have deserted reality for the various
schools of nonobjectivity and abstractionism, White has continued to
work for broader horizons of human expression and to explore deeper
dimensions of truth and reality. And yet, with all his tremendous realism,
he is an artist with a positive estimation of humanity. His strokes are
bold and courageous and affirmative. His lines are clear, his people are
alive with a zest for life and the story of living manifested in their faces
and their bodies. His people take on a reality all of their own. You feel
that somewhere, sometime, someplace you have known these people before
or will meet them somewhere along life's journey in the future.
White feels that through his media he is able to take an active part in
the black revolution. By showing his art in schools and in public places,
black people will be able to identify with their roots. He has drawn and
met many of the country's black leaders—including Martin Luther King,
Stokely Carmichael, Rev. Jessie Jackson and Malcolm X.

BLACK STUDENT UNION
As defined by Fresno State College
B.S.U. President Billy Wright
I have been asked to define the meaning and purpose of the Black
Students Union on many occasions. I must begin by saying that we
agree to the concept of unity and strength. We feel that if we deal with
each case of injustice as being basically the problem of the person who
is experiencing it, we can't survive in the American school system as
Black Students.
We must first make you aware that when first we tried to become
a part of the institution of education, the society and the system initially
made the distinction between us and other students, on the basis of
color and race. Now we have decided that to attack the problem of
discrimination and injustice, we have to unite and to combat the problem
more effectively, we have to realize the problem exists because of what
and who we are, therefore, we also must recognize and identify with
who we are, in order to be a more effective unit.
It has been the typical reaction of the white society to revert to the
opposite role regardless of which direction we take. If we like warm
water, they give it to us cold. If we like it cold, they give it to us hot.
If we like it luke-warm, they use either extreme or don't give it to us
at all. When we were trying to be with them and like them, they rejected
us, and now that we want to assume our rightful identity and pursue our
own destinies ,they accuse US of segregation, separatism, and discrimination,
because we have given up the idea of beating our heads against
their door trying to get into their world. We were disliked as white-black
individuals and we're liked even less as a unit of Black individuals
pursuing our own goals.
We were forced by circumstances created by a biased system to
separate ourselves from the creators of that system and unite and rally
to our own cause and advancement. It is not our object to destroy the
system of education, but to modify it to our needs as well as the needs
of other people of color and thereby to edify the system.
THE BLACK STUDENT UNION IS, because regardless what the form
of the problem facing Black students, the root of the problem is the same.

NEWS OF THE MONTH
Barfield Resigns From Redevelopment Board For New Post
The departure of Tommy Barfield
from the Redevelopment Agency
Board is a tremendous loss to
the City of Fresno and especially
to the black community. He has
been an out-spoken member of the
board for the black community for
the past three years.
Barfield was recently chosen by
the Grapevine Magazine as one of
Fresno's Best Dressed Men. He received
his B.A. degree in Business
Administration from Fresno State
College and is presently working
for San Francisco's Redevelopment
Agency.
Trotter Named Executive Director
Dolphus Trotter, 29, has been
named executive director of the
West Fresno Federation of Neighborhood
Centers.
He is the second person to head
the federation since it was established
last year. Joe Lee, the first
director, resigned to accept a post
as vice principal in the Fresno
school systems. Trotter has been
Working as acting director since
Lee's resignation.

COMMUNITY AWARDS RECIPIENT
For her "unselfish community
services, particularly with the senior
citizens of Fresno", Mrs. Mayter
Alexander was named the 1969
Community Awards recipient by the
National Council of Negro Women,
Fresno Chapter.
Mrs. Alexander, who was honored
at a luncheon, was cited for her
work: sewing instructor for Trinity
Street Center in 1966; chairman of
senior citizens groups with the Model
Cities program; making dolls out
of stockings, crocheted hats and
bags out of bread wrappers and
pieced quilts with the senior citizens.
Currently, Mrs. Alexander is attempting
to encourage senior citizens
to join others in the Fresno
Learning Center held in the Fresno
Hotel.
U.S. SUPREME COURT ORDERS SCHOOLS TO START
INTEGRATION NOW!
After a long 15 years, 5 months and 12 days the Supreme Court has
announced flatly and unanimously it will tolerate no further delay in
school desegregation. The high court declared in a brief but historic rul-
ing that, "The obligation of every school district is to terminate dual
school systems at once and to operate now and hereafter only unitary
(integrated) schools."
President Nixon said after the decision the court had spoken decisively
and promised to exert this leadership in solving the practical and human
problems" growing out of the ruling.
The decision was a setback to the Nixon administration who had urged
the court to allow more time for integration of 33 school districts in
Mississippi.
Most Black people applauded the decision but at the same time felt
that the court acted 15 years, 5 months and 12 days too late. The fact
is that many black children who were not even in kindergarten at the
time of the Supreme Court's 1954 decision have already graduated from
high school, without once setting foot in an integrated classroom.

Fresno State College versus Marvin X
Marvin X (Marvin Jackson) a
lecturer in the Ethnic Studies Department
at Fresno State College is
taking the college administration,
State College Board of Trustees,
and Chancellor Glen Dumke to a
higher court to prevent them from
removing him from his college position
because of his draft status.
Marvin X, who is a Black Muslim
and has renounced his citizenship,
is under indictment by the
Federal government for draft evasion.
He is a graduate of Edison
High School of Fresno and has attended
Oakland City College and
San Francisco State College. He is
known throughout the United States for his poetry and theatre works.
Marvin, who was told by the College that his contract was pending
and had the backing of Professor Richard Keyes, head of the Ethnic
Studies Department, and Dr. Dale Burtner, Dean of the School of Arts
and Sciences, feels that if the college didn't want him to teach they
shoudn't have allowed him to set up his courses and actually meet
his classes unmolested by the administration from September 15 to October 2.
As a result of his hiring and Marvin's refusal not to stop teaching his
class, College president Dr. Frederick Ness resigned his post and a former
F.S.C. instructor, Dr. Karl Falk, was appointed.
Dr. Falk, after only five days in his office, made a major shakeup in
the college administrative structure. Many people believe that he removed
liberal elements from positions of influence and replaced them
with more conservative thinkers. In the move Dr. Burtner, who supported
Marvin X, was reassigned to planning duties and teaching duties in the
chemistry department.
Since the time of the changes made by Falk, Fresno State College
campus has been hit by vandalism. College security officers reported
that there has been a bomb scare, cement poured in toilets and a fire
caused by an arsonist.

Foster Wants Fight With Mohammad Ali
Fresno's undefeated heavyweight challenger, Mac Foster, who has 20

Ali concerning the armed services. Mac who is campaigning for a championship
fight is getting signatures from people who support him and
his military views throughout his route to Texas. He will present the book
of petition to Governor Smith and ask him to OK a fight with Muhammad

into the armed services.

1970 Head Start Program In Fresno County
By Wilbert Dunn, Sub-committee Chairman, Target Area 15 Commissioner
WILBERT DUNN
The Head Start Program in Fresno is truly a big business, designed to
do a big job, with an allocated funding of well over a million dollars for
1970. This program whose activities are directly under the control of the
Fresno County E.O.C. is showing promise and is really being effective in
a number of ways.
The program has over 25 head start teachers ,eight nurses, eight nurses
aides, nine social workers, and a language specialist. In addition, this
program operates in some thirty communities on a year around basis, has
five full time capacity directors including the Head Start Director, Deputy
Director, Social Services Director, Health Services Director and Education
and Career Development Director.
The goal of the Headstart Program is to give the 3 to 5 year old poverty
youngster a "real" headstart culturally, mentally, and socially toward
schools which make such demands on them. It is involved with giving the
parents a head start, and understanding of their youngsters and how to
adjust to school age youngsters. Also it gives the youngsters and parents
a better understanding of the schools which are sometimes drastically
different from the poverty children's homes. As programmed—it is believed
that the "Head Start" purpose will succeed and will reap many
rewards for its participants.
At the present time the Head Start Program is now in need of a director.
Salary starts at $13,400 per year with proper qualification. At present
there is a pressing effort to fill this post with a Black person. Apply at
2309 Tulare St., Fresno, Calif.

BLACK ARTS AND CULTURE
EUGENE E. WHITE
Eugene E. White, a well known
black artist throught the United
States, was in Fresno recently to
visit relatives before he and his
wife, Bobbie, started their twenty-eighth
trip throughout the United
States displaying his art work. His
art shows have been seen in many
of the larger colleges and universities
including Philander Smith,
Tuskegee, Fisk, Notre Dame, and
Howard.
White, who owns an art gallery
and studio in San Francisco, California,
has studied in several art
schools and colleges. His style and
technique are unique and were developed
on his own. His study of
people and their expressions, coupled with his ability to draw, has made
him known for his realistic expressions. There is a powerful, sometimes
violent, beauty in his artistic interpretation of black people. There is the
poetic beauty of black idiom. This is the artist's most profound contribution,
and it is significant that his art has never strayed far from the roots
which gave birth to the artist himself.
In a period when many artists have deserted reality for the various
schools of nonobjectivity and abstractionism, White has continued to
work for broader horizons of human expression and to explore deeper
dimensions of truth and reality. And yet, with all his tremendous realism,
he is an artist with a positive estimation of humanity. His strokes are
bold and courageous and affirmative. His lines are clear, his people are
alive with a zest for life and the story of living manifested in their faces
and their bodies. His people take on a reality all of their own. You feel
that somewhere, sometime, someplace you have known these people before
or will meet them somewhere along life's journey in the future.
White feels that through his media he is able to take an active part in
the black revolution. By showing his art in schools and in public places,
black people will be able to identify with their roots. He has drawn and
met many of the country's black leaders—including Martin Luther King,
Stokely Carmichael, Rev. Jessie Jackson and Malcolm X.

BLACK STUDENT UNION
As defined by Fresno State College
B.S.U. President Billy Wright
I have been asked to define the meaning and purpose of the Black
Students Union on many occasions. I must begin by saying that we
agree to the concept of unity and strength. We feel that if we deal with
each case of injustice as being basically the problem of the person who
is experiencing it, we can't survive in the American school system as
Black Students.
We must first make you aware that when first we tried to become
a part of the institution of education, the society and the system initially
made the distinction between us and other students, on the basis of
color and race. Now we have decided that to attack the problem of
discrimination and injustice, we have to unite and to combat the problem
more effectively, we have to realize the problem exists because of what
and who we are, therefore, we also must recognize and identify with
who we are, in order to be a more effective unit.
It has been the typical reaction of the white society to revert to the
opposite role regardless of which direction we take. If we like warm
water, they give it to us cold. If we like it cold, they give it to us hot.
If we like it luke-warm, they use either extreme or don't give it to us
at all. When we were trying to be with them and like them, they rejected
us, and now that we want to assume our rightful identity and pursue our
own destinies ,they accuse US of segregation, separatism, and discrimination,
because we have given up the idea of beating our heads against
their door trying to get into their world. We were disliked as white-black
individuals and we're liked even less as a unit of Black individuals
pursuing our own goals.
We were forced by circumstances created by a biased system to
separate ourselves from the creators of that system and unite and rally
to our own cause and advancement. It is not our object to destroy the
system of education, but to modify it to our needs as well as the needs
of other people of color and thereby to edify the system.
THE BLACK STUDENT UNION IS, because regardless what the form
of the problem facing Black students, the root of the problem is the same.
