Dr. Wilson Riles Frank Johnson

EDITORIAL

People'in California can take pride that one of its outstanding citizens
has been selected to receive the highest award of the National Associa
tion for the Advancement of Colored People.

Dr. Wilson Riles, California's superintendent of public instructions, is
the 58th recipient of the Spingarn Medal which is given annually by
the NAACP to an American of African descent for distinguished achieve
ment.

Since his election to office in 1970, Dr. Riles has done much to help
find solutions to the many complex problems faced by California edu
cators. He has faced these problems with wisdom, intelligence and
dedication. In addition he has managed to work effectively with a State
Board of Education which has a conservative philosophy.

Education is recognized by most people as the key to a better life
and it should be noted that Dr. Riles' contributions in education has
helped thousands of educators and millions of children without regard
to race, creed or color.

In the spring of 1972 the GRAPEVINE MAGAZINE presented to Dr.
Riles its Statewide Community Service Award for his many contributions
as a Black man and as the California superintendent of public instruc-
tion. We again salute Dr. Riles and the NAACP for their selection of
an outstanding and deserving individual.

Julian Bond
Speaks
in
Fresno

Julian Bond, 33 year old Georgia State Legislator and civil rights ac-
tivist, spoke to more than 400 persons recently at Fresno City College.

In his speech Bond ridiculed President Nixon, then sharply criticized
"do nothing liberals.· He also called for a united effort to eliminate
racism in the United States.

In a press conference prior to the speech Bond said that Black people
need to step up their voter registration efforts and develop an effective
political machine.

"A machine in the best sense," he said, -"where the man in the street
knows what is happening every day of the year, not just when an elec-
tion rolls around."

When asked why he persists in trying to work through the system in
spite of the stiff odds and numerous disappointments Bond snapped
back, "What's the alternative?"

After the speech Bond attended a fund raising event to help Black
college students held at Cecil C. Hinton Center in West Fresno. The
event was coordinated by Miss Lucille Rash, a Fresno City College instructor.
After the fund raising event Bond and his wife, were entertained
at a party given in the home of Grapevine Magazine publisher,
Frank Johnson and his wife, Betty. Bond was escorted around Fresno by
Mr. and Mrs. Lesly Kimber, publisher of the California Advccate news
paper.

Clifton Will Join Roscoe at Long Beach

Long Beach State basketball fortunes
in the post Jerry Tarkanian
era will hinge largely on the Pondexter
Brothers.

Clifton Pondexter, San Joaquin
Memorial's All-American prep performer,
announced recently he has
signed a letter of intent to attend
Long Beach State.

The 6-foot-8, 225-pounder, one
of the nation's most sought-after
high school performers, will join
brother Roscoe Pondexter, a 6-5
junior under new coach Lute Olson
at Long Beach.

Olson, formerly at Long Beach
City College, was named to succeed
Tarkanian, who resigned to
become head basketball coach at
the University of Nevada.

Clifton, a consensus All-American
ofter being named by Parade
and Scholastic magazines, led Memorial
to two consecutive Central
Section CIF and Tournament of
Champions· titles after Roscoe graduated
from SJM.

Olson said he feels Clifton has
a "good chance" of starting as a
freshman with the Forty Niners who
were ranked as high as No. 3 nationally
last season.

Roscoe seldom started for Long
Beach but was often referred to as
"the best sixth man in college basketball"
last season. He was a
first-team All-Pacific Coast Athletic
Association choice, along with
teammate Ed Ratleff, who has finished
his college career.

Clifton was the subject of on article
earlier this year in Sports Illustrated
magazine, which listed
Pondexter, Richard Washington of
Portland, Ore., and Lewis Brown of
Compton as the three most widely
recruited preps in the land.

West Fresno Apartment Project Work Starts


Lesly Kimber John Ethridge


The Security Pacific Bank and
the Giddings Co. will finance the
$1.7 million King of Kings Lutheran
Center, a multi-family apartment
project to be built in West Fresno.

The 92-unit complex is being developed
by Kings of Kings Housing
Development Corporation,
which is sponsored by the King of
Kings Lutheran Center and Redeemer
Lutheran Church. Les Kimber,
West Fresno newspaper publisher
is the corporation president.

It will be the first major construction
project in the redevelopment
area of West Fresno in which
a firm owned by a black person
has participated. The J. E. Ethridge
Construction Co., owned by a black
will share the general contractor
work with the Robert G. Fisher Co.,
Inc.

The Jordon-Mathis and Associates,
also owned by blacks, designed
the project.

A groundbreaking ceremony will
be held at 10 a.m. Thursday at the
7-acre site on South Fig Avenue between
Lee and Belgravia Avenues.

The scheduled completion date
is Nov. 1.


The project will offer three fivebedroom
apartments, 15- four-bedroom,
32 three-bedroom, 29 twobedroom
and three one-bedroom
apartments.
The rents will range from $113
to $181 a month.
The corporation is studying plans
for a new King of Kings Lutheran
Center to replace the former building
destroyed by fire in 1971. The
new center will be built at the
same time as the apartments. The
center will provide necessary social
services for apartment tenants.
The King of Kings Lutheran Center
was elected in November of
1970 by the Fresno Redevelopment
Agency to develop the apartment
project.
Jordan and Mathis spokesmen
said the clustered apartments will
be developed so 55 per cent of the
property will be useable open
space, including a park.
Two other apartment complexes
have already been completed within
the past year, they are the Bigby
Villa and Kearney-Cooley Plaza.
Both were named for West Fresnans.

Ethiopian Learns Urban Planning in Fresno


Mr. Berehe Kassaye


Mr. Berehe Kassaye, a native of
Ethiopia and former social worker,
come to Fresno 6 ½ years ago to
study at Fresno State University.
He is now working for the Fresno
City Urban Planning Di vision while
completing his thesis for the Master
of Arts Degree in Urban and
Regional Planning.

Before coming to Fresno State
University in 1966, Mr. Kassaye
was awarded a scholarship by the
Swedish International Development
Authority to study Social Science in
the United States. After receiving
his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Social
Wel fare, he decided to go into
Urban Planning. When he finishes
his work for the Master's Degree
Mr. Kassaye plans to return to his
home in Addis Abbaba and hopes
to work with the Ministry of National
Community Development and
Social Affairs, utilizing the knowledge
that he has received in the
United States to better conditions
for the people of Ethiopia.

Mr. Kassaye is pleased with the
education he has received in an
American university and feels that
what he has learned will be useful
in helping solve the urban and
sccial problems of his country. In
making a comparison with the American
educational system with
the educational system in Ethiopia,
he says education is free but not
compulsory and that there is a
shortage of schools and teachers;
but the government there is working
diligently to meet the educational
needs of the people.

Mr. Kassaye is also impressed
with the general mobility of the
American society, and in the sense
that people have access to interstate
traveling with convenience
and minimum loss of time; which
is due to the excellent highwc1y
system and the avoilability of automobiles.
