It made me feel real good to’know that tnyjather, a hard working man, and my mother, who died when I was 15, had not worked in vain on my be half." According to the interview, by Lacy J. Banks, ‘Gravely feels the Navy's new anti-discrimi nation programs--not merely his promotions—are enough to sell that service to blacks. The magazine attributed Gra vely’s success to the fact that lie “simplj- stuck it out," coupl ed with qualities of ability and diplomacy. The magazine credited the Navy with initiating many new programs and policies to open the doors of equal opportunities to blacks. Such plans include an end to the policy of recruit ing Filipinos solely as stewards; a plan to put 10 per cent of all Navy ROTC programs on black college campuses by 1975; naming new ships in hon pr of blacks; assigning black minority affairs officers at each of 37 recruiting stations and at each base; stocking of black consumer goods in exchanges; and increasing black enrollment at the naval Academy. It noted the success of the Navy in recruiting blacks at the Naval Academy, claiming some 50 are now enrolled. How ever it quoted one black mid shipman, Ron Stanton, of Phila delphia, who said, "The .situa tion here (at Annapolis) is one that blacks tolerate and cope with." He claimed, "It'sthe lit tle things that bother you -like being labeled an extremist or Communist because you see some goal in Rap Brown or Eld ridge Cleaver. But Pm deter mined to make it, and I will." Another midshipman, John Porter, of Dover Del., said he was gratified by local black residents who congratulated him on the street. "It really makes you feel good and proud. ’' And Forest Kirk, a fresh man from San Diego, added, "It makes you say to yourself, 'I got to make it now. I’m going' to make it for those people also!" Spearheading the new equal opportunities policies for blacks in the Navy, the maga zine says, is Admiral Elmo R. Z urn wait, Jr. Chief of Naval Operations. "The two most im pressive things about Zumwalt so far as blacks are concern ed comments Elxmy, "are his frank focus on and admission of the Navy's racial problems and his strong active interest in solving those problems." Zumwalt told the magazine: ‘•Traditionally, the black mail has had to work harder than the white man to get ahead in the Navy, but lie has been doub ly handicapped. It hasn’t just been a question of starting off unequal. The black man has had to move over into the white man's cultural environment and be better."

Looking both at how the nation tries to handle the process of i educating Blacks and how armed s troops handled the "May Day" i confrontation, Dr. Humphries • set that "The American society has lost its humaness." However, he stressed that "What is at stake is not just Black higher education. What is at stake is the whole of a democracy.” , The following morning, Dr. Humphries lectured on the pur pose and importance of ISE in aiding Black higher education, especially In the area of cur riculum development. These es , forts are best reflected in the nation’s largest curriculum e vision and developmental proj | ects through the Thirteen-Col lege Curriculum Program. E CSU participates in this pro gram through the Five-College , Consortium. , While stressing the need foi more relevancy in higher ed ucation, Dr. Humphries expres sed that since "It is impos sible for any one person to learn all that needs to be learn ed In a four-year college sit uation, institutions should rea lize that students not only ned to know and learn that which is traditional in education, they, 1 also need to know and learn about change and how to deal with it." "The emphasis should be on how to solve problems, and on the development of a set of skills that will enable students to function efficiently and ef fectively in society," he ad ded. Dr. Humphries, who earn ed the doctorate in Physical Chemistry, from the University of Pennsylvania, pointed out that the "Five-College Innovative it Thrust Realized that teaching is just an important an aspect of higher education as laboratory research." BURNS CROSS (CONTINUED FROM FAG* 13 tim of a racially overtoned cross burning on the church’s lawn. At a press conference last week Chavis told newsmen that around 5 a.m. (last Tuesday morning) the United Klans of America attempted to provoke fear in the Black community of .Wilmington by placing a cross in front of our church. The cross bore the initials U. K. A. He said members of the A frican Peoples United Front Intelligence Division, an arm of the African Peoples United Front of North Carolina and Virginia, were on hand when a red station wagon, which he claimed was the same type and model used by the Wilmington City Fire Department, sport ing permanent state license plates, stopped in front of the church. Allegedly, a white male got out of the station wagon and placed the cross in an upright position in front of the church entrance. Rev. Chavis expressed the be lief that white vigilantee groups are on the offensive to destroy Black people in Wilmington and other areas of North Carolina. "There is a federal Injunc tion against all of our people who have tried to speak to the needs of our community re garding the public schools in Wilmington. Black schools are still being closed and integra tion is still working to the dis advantage of Black people," he said. On hand with Rev. Chavis was Rev. Leon White, head of the N.C. Virginia Committee For Racial Justice (under the auspices of the United Church of Christ). When asked by newsmen whether he believed in separa tion, White said, "I most cer tainly do believe in separation of the races. One cannot help / but feel this way when inte gration works hardships upon the Black community that St does." hi making the cross burning known, Chavis also stated that the relatively new organization, the African Peoples United F ront, already has offices in Granville, Bladen, Vance, War* ren, Cleveland, and New Han over Counties, with the cen tral office presently In Raleigh. Chavis went on to say, "We today come as members of a new Christian fellowship that has grown out of the indigen ous survival struggles of Black people in the state of North Carolina. The African Peo ples United Front of North Ca rolina and Virginia was born out of the struggles of African people during the last year. "Highway patrolmen still shoot down unarmed African people and it is abundantly clear that the federal injunctions ob tained by the New Hanover. County School Board were only directed toward restraining Black people from controlling their own destinies,’’ he con cluded. The creed of the idoalogically Pan-Africanist group says "I believe that Jesus, the Black Messiah, was a revolutionary leader of African decent, sent by God .to rebuild the Black nation of Israel and to liberate Black people from powerless ness and oppression from the white gentile world. I believe that both my survival and my salvation depend upon my willingness to reject individual ism and commit my life to the ‘Liberation’ struggle." The headquarters of the A frican People’s United Front is in Raleigh; P. O. Box 1721. Other offices include: Gran ville, Vance and Warren coun ties (the northern front); Bla den and New Hanover counties (the southern front); and Cleve land (the western front). New offices will be opening across the state in the months to come, Chavis said.

FACES RAPS fCOWTOfIJra FROM FAG* 13 sou oeiore tne episode, he was charged with slipping Jackson the gun which authorities say the. convict concealed under a Black Afro wig. To date Bing ham ’ as not been found. A request that the FBI enter the case and warrant asking that Bingham bo arrested and iieia without ball were issued by a California municipal judge. Bingham was charged with al! the deaths, except that of Jack son, under a state law which makes an accomplice equally guilty of a crime. Even though security is said to be among the tightest at San Quentin, Bales said lie was convinced that “there was no other way George Jackson could have obtained the . death gun" other than from Bingham. He indicated that the attorney is believed to have smuggled it into San Quentin’s visitor’s cen ter in a tape recorder. Jackson was carrying the gun when lie and another convict burst Cut of the celiblock and ran across a courtyard where guards shot him from a gun •tower, Bides said. The district attorney said Jackson received the gun from Bingham during a one-hour visit in a small room in which there were no other persons. Before entering the room, Bales said, Bingham filled out a request form to take a tape recorder into his meeting with Jackson, and when he entered the room, ho was said to be carrying an open folder of do cuments. As Jackson was being escorted back to the adjustment center after the conference, a guard claimed that he noticed Jack son’s hail' "looked somewhat different." The guard and another officer started to search Jackson, "where-upon he pulled a black wig from his head and took from it a 9-mm pistol and clip containing live cartridges and forthwith took the searching of ficers as hostages,” the affi davit said. The case is similar to that of the Marin County shooting August 7, 1970, in which Angela Davis was accused of murder, kidnapping and conspiracy for a gun she allegedly provided in a episode which'left a Cali fornia judge dead. The charges against both Bingham and Miss Davis were filed by the same county where Miss Davis is now held await ing trial. The charges against both par ties involved furnishing guns to Black revolutionaries for a bloody attack upon the "estab lishment’’, but not for taking part in the actual killings. Like Miss Davis, Bingham is highly educated. A graduate of Yale and the University of California Law School, he is the grandson of Hiram Bingham, former Connecticut governor and United States senator. One of his uncles Is Jonathan Bing ham, a Democratic congress man from New York. LOTT CAREY (CONTINUED FROM FAG* !) Washington, D.D.; Dr. J. J.

Dr. Paige in his first annual address told the more than two thousand delegates assembled on Wednesday night that, "Man knows more today about the physcial world, than ever Be fore. He has been allowed to tap the secret veins of nature and is now a voyager l>oth in space and outer space.

But the world is no better off spiritually than it was yesterday. Our convention has gone to far with God, Mr. Paige con tinued and advised his delega tion that they must not turn back. It is our responsibility to use His plan to accomplish our goals. We are challenged to meet the needs of this cur cial hour with love and pa tience. Nixon's Fopularify- Defflocrats Encoisraged- New left Party? Jackson's Chance- Washingtnn,!).(!, The latest polls show President Nixon’s popularity at a low ebb. Demo crats are immensely encouraged and Republicans discouraged. But it is, of course, more than a year until the next presiden tial election, in which time the comparative picture could change. As of July, a respected pri vate poll showed Senator Ed mund Muskie of Maine, a lead ing contender among Demo crats, leading Mr. Nixon by five percentage points, 47 to 42. This alone means little since there are so many more Democrats than Republicans but as a trend the poll reflects a continuing decline in the percentage of approval for Nix on policies. Some Republicans argue that better than forty percent sup port at this time, when eco nomic conditions are unsatis factory, is not bad. They can also historically point to low popularity ebbs of other Presi dents in the year before an election. But obviously no G.O.P. figure wants the percentage to drop. In this connection, the greatest fears are not concern ing Vietnam but the national AII There Is To Know About * Afro J Everything you’ve ever wanteu to know about the Afro (but didn’t know who it ask is an economy and the recent Nixon decision to stick with present economic policies, which.some feel are not working, produced considerable controversy. The White House feels its economic policies will work, and that progress will be seen before Christmas, or by then; this will have an effect'on public opinion. But the White House timetable on economics has been wrong before and if it is again, little time will be left in which to correct the situation before the 1972 elec tion. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party may be losing some of its left extremists in the coming campaign. In a recent conven tion of leftist party leaders in New Mexico a joint national ticket and an organization in all fifty states emerged as goals of some 250 delegates from 25 states. If George Wallace drains support from the right, and a leftist ticket drains from the left, this could have a major effect on the 1972 election. The leftists say they will hold a nominating convention in November.. Though no- on > can yet say how much effect a leftist bolt would have on the Democratic Party, the departure of extrem ists mi gilt be a boost to more moderate candidates such as Senator Henry Jackson ot Washington. Until now one ot Jackson’s major handicaps has been the conviction of many that he could not be nominated, since leftwing elements have long controlled Democratic conventions. Muskie, is still considered the front-runner, one reason being the belief that he can be nominated,anotherhis religion, Roman Catholic, presently viewed as an asset in the big cities.
