True 'Quality Education' Is Integrated
Mounting evidence of the advantages of schools which mix stu-
dents of all races ought to fortify the ruling of a Los Angeles
Superior Court judge who ordered sweeping school integration. It
should be persuasive, moreover, to all fair-minded persons who
desire true quality education.
It is hard to see how anyone can argue with the data. It is the
result of measuring achievement in several cities which have
adopted comprehensive integration of their schools. In every case,
minority students scored significantly higher in integrated schools
than they did when segregated almost exclusively with their own
groups. Further, they have gone on to better vocational careers.
The cities involved were Rochester, N.Y.; Hartford, Conn.; Evans-
ton, III.; Pittsburgh, Boston and Berkeley. The studies of their pro-
grams were part of a brief filed by American Civil Liberties Union
attorney's in support of the Los Angeles judge's ruling.

Los Angeles school officials opposing the integration order, which
would require extensive busing, have relied largely upon studies
made by economists. These have been more concerned with the
costs of "in-put" in integrating school systems than with the "out-
put," or results in terms of better education for the children.
This is the wrong way to appraise it. America has no more pre-
cious resource than its children. Their development, in terms of
genuine quality of education, should have the topmost priority in
our value system. If integrated education is the best way to develop
that paramount resource, ours is the "know-how" society which
can find ways to solve the economic "in-put" problem.
In the cases of all the afore mentioned cities studied, researchers
found more racial understanding, greater educational attainment
and higher occupational status among minority adults who had at-
tended racially mixed schools.
Ours is a society which has no choice but to learn to live to-
gether. The right place to start that learning process is in school.
As the ACLU brief concludes: "The single most important education-
al resource that schools can offer their pupils is the other pupils in
the school."

NAACP Will Fight Nixon Busing Halt
WASHINGTON—If Congress approves the president's program on
a proposed moratorium on forced school busing. Civil Rights lobby-
ist Clarence Mitchell said the NAACP will challenge it in the courts
"before the ink is dry."
Mitchell said the proposal "placed Nixon on the side of those
who have stood in school doorways to bar black children."
Mitchell, director of the NAACP's Washington office and its chief
lobbyist, testified before the Senate Education Committee which is
holding hearings on Nixon's two-way plan to prevent more court-
ordered busing to integrate public schools. —Reprint Fresno Bee

Bigby Villa — Fulfillment Of Many Dreams
Floyd Hyde, Dr. Curtis Nagel, and William Bigby at Dedication.

William A. Bigby displayed a smile of pleasure and an air of pride
as the Bigby Villa housing project in West Fresno was dedicated
in his name. Federal, state, county and city officials and Catholic Charities
members participated in the dedication.
The 180-unit housing projectfulfills many dreams—those of the Catholic
Charities Housing, Inc., which sponsored and will manage the project,
and those of the families who will live in Bigby Villa.
Thirteen families moved into the project prior to the dedication.
The other units will be filled within the next two months.
The principal speakers in the ceremony were former Mayor Floyd H.
Hyde, now assistant secretary for the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD); Bigby; Mayor Ted C. Wills; Jack Kazanjian, chairman
of the Fresno Redevelopment Agency; Assemblyman Kenneth Maddy; Bishop Hugh Donohoe, and Dr. Curtis Nagel, president Catholic
Charities, Inc.
Hyde pointed out in his talk the dedication was being held on the
fourth anniversary of the Fair Housing Law and although "a house does
not make a home, homes alone do not make a community." He called
Bigby Villa just a beginning and said the project is not only a means
of housing the residents, but rather the beginning of a great challenge
for opportunities.
Bonnie Reiss unveiled a 12 1/2-foot bronze statue "The Family" which
depicts a five-member family. The statue is by Clement Renzi, Fresno
sculptor.
The John C . Duggin Assembly, Knights of Columbus, presented an
American Flag which will be raised daily at the Bigby Villa.
Bigby, 80, for whom the project is named, has been a Fresnan since
he was 7 years old. He was a member of a citizens committee which
was the forerunner of the Fresno City and County Housing Authorities.
He retired in 1962 after nearly 30 years with the State Board of Equalization.

BOXER MAC FOSTER jokes with Cleo Johnson, Grapevine's Advertising
Director.

Ali Promises Foster Shot At 'My Title'

An almost unmarked Muham-
mad Ali said he had "underrated"
Mac Foster of Fresno in the 15-
round heavyweight boxing bout
that Ali won by a unanimous decision.
Ali, former world heavyweight
champion, had predicted loudly and
repeatedly that he would knock out
Foster in the fifth round.
"Mac Foster was a better fighter
than I had expected," Ali said in
his dressing room after the fight.
"Foster should be the No. 2 con-
tender in the world heavyweight
rankings."
"I think he's one of the few
fighters who could last 15 rounds
with me. I promise Mac Foster a
shot at my title after I regain it
from (heavyweight champion) Joe
Frazier later this year."
Foster joined Ali in the dressing
room and it was all smiles, hand-
shakes and pats on the back be-
tween the two fighters, a complete
reversal from the oral banter and
threats that went on in the days
before the fight.
The bout was the first profession-
al heavyweight boxing match ever
held in Japan and one of the rare
cases where the Japan Boxing Com-
mission permitted a professional
fight involving two foreigners. Ali's
share of the gate was to be at
least $200,000 with Foster getting
$80,000 for the fight in the city
where he launched his boxing ca-
reer in a U. S. Marine tournament.
The fight was televised in Japan
and to about 25 countries abroad.

The All-American Pondexter Brothers

Roscoe and Clifton Pondexter of Fresno are both true All-Americans
on and off the basketball court. The likeable young athletes have prob-
ably gained more honors playing basketball than any brother combina-
tion in the State of California's history.
Clifton, a 6'-8" junior at San Joaquin Memorial High School in Fresno,
is one of the nation's most sought after high school basketball players.
The reason why is quite understandable. He has led his high school team
to the league, valley, and Northern California Championships. In addi-
tion, Clifton has been selected to the 1972 U. S. All-American High School
Basketball team, selected as the Most Valuable Player in the Valley
Playoffs and the Northern California Tournament of Champions, select-
ed to the All-Star Team in Fresno's McLane Tournament, Sequoia's Lea-
gue's Most Valauble Player, All-Metro Player of the Year, and has re-
ceived many school and other special honors.
Roscoe, a 6'-7" 1971 U. S. High School All-American, has had an
outstanding Junior College season in his first year. He was selected to
the Fresno, Hancock, and National AAU All Tournament teams. He has
been selected as the most Valuable Player in the All Valley Conference,
and to the first team All State and California Junior College All Star
teams. Roscoe also was selected as Fresno City College Player of the
Year and has been invited to try out for the United States Olympics team
in Denver, Colorado, in June. This past season he ranked fifth in state
scoring with a 24.9 average and was one of the leading rebounders in
the state.

Your son can earn as he learns
by selling the Grapevine
LET HIM BUY THE THINGS
HE WANTS
A boy selling the Grapevine has the chance to earn money as
he learns the experience being a salesperson teaches him. By meet-
ing customers, collecting, servicing and handling money, he learns
business responsibility, and that's important.
If your son would like to make extra money and work with the
Grapevine, we'd like to talk to him and get him started on what
could be the turning point in his life.
Boys interested should contact
