many self-helpers, now the
college encompasses 600 acres
of land with buildings erected
on half of them. An
agricultural complex is
included as an integral part of
the college. The motto of the
college is "Towards National
Self-Reliance".
Jfcbout 2,000 people
attended the inauguration
ceremony. Guyana prime
minister forbes Burham made a
' Spfc in which he irnnsf d the
importance of self-reliance in

BOND ISSUE
(Continued from front page)
rati; " Under the plan the
approval of the $15 million of
general bonds and $z rniuion
of water and sewer bonds
would result in making more
than $26 million available to
the city for badly needed
community improvements.
The Chamber Directors
were highly complimentary of
the city officials who have
developed this "program for
progress" which will provide
maximum benefits to Durham
tsv navers in everv Dart of the
i ' i - - .
city.
The $2 million of water and
sewer bonds would cover
installation of water and sewer
facilities in connection with
the street paving program. The
$15 million of general bonds
cover a massive street paving
program, construction of
thoroughfare projects, a
wide-spreading upgrading of
Durham's inadequate
recreation facilities, and a fire
training facility.
"No time in the history of
the city have the voters been
given the opportunity io
provide themselves with more
than $26 million worth of
capital improvements through
the issuance oi oniy ?
million worth of bonds. To be
able to do this and still have no
increase in the debt service tax
rate is a tribute to the
ingenuity of this plan devised
by the Durham city officials,"
said Mr. Brame.
He continued, "The
successful passage of this bond
issue will get most of our
citizens out of the dust and out
of the mud through the
standard paving of about 22
miles of dirt streets within the
dty, and the temporary paving
of approximately 23 additional
miles. It will help our
community eaten up in our
severely limited recreation
facilities by providing 131
acres of new park land, and
many new tennis and
basketball courts and Softball
fields, and improving facilities
at almost all of the dty parks.
And it will provide a number
of other things, including water
and sewer extension, that must
be provided If Durham Is to
offer the kind of quality
environment that all of her
citizens want and deserve."
CommentinR futher, Brame
said, "The Chamber of
Commerce plans to make its
full resources available to the
citizens group that will be
appointed to educate the
public on the merits of this
bond issue. We are
tremendously eager to see
Durham take this very
progressive and beneficial
step." m .

Getting Smart
BY WALTER L. SMART
There is no simple or
Utopian solution to lip 1
compex problem of bousing.
Key to-a solution is, however,
the government's taking active
stops to substantially reduce
the widespread abuse and
misuse of housing subsidy,
programs. One way to end such
misuse is the active
involvement of citizens at tin
neighborhood level.
As long as speculative
builders and developers are
invited, urged or otherwise
encouraged to build or
rehabilitate housing for the
poor and near poor, and
particularly if the target
population is part of the
minority group, widespread
abuse and misuse of housing
subsidy programs will
continue. .
It should be immediately
obvious that the key interest
group, the consumer, is totally
left out of such an
arrangement
Furthermore, the
arrangement wherein a
builder-developer "hustles" a
local church to front as a
sponsor does not in any way
change the original premise.

neighborhoods have a
concerned group of residents
who are vitally interested in
local housing conditions and
an motivated to act (without
pay) on behalf of their
community.
What government has failed
to realize is the absolute
necessity of giving community
leadership adequate tools with
realistic objectives. Many woo
criticize the granting of power
to community people fall to
note that more times than not
citizens an poorly trained and
given inadequate tools and
funding to complete the
desired job.
Our experience in
settlements indicates that It is
necessary to provide ongoing
professional supportive staff

Within neighborhoods
Where housing is being
abandoned, locally based
agencies have lacked the tools
to bring the problem under
control. Thus, the blighting
influence of the abandoned
building spreads and intensifies
the existing level of
neighborhood deterioration
' Our experience alao
indicates that then an a
substantial number of
landlords who are seeking
opportunities to "baa out" of
ghetto neighborhoods. Most
dties have refrained from using
eode enforcement powers
against such landlords for fear
.of causing wholesale
abandonment. No public
Interest is served by giving
financial incentives to
encourage a different attitude
and different behavior of
landlords. By so doing, the
money Is largely wasted.

tire attitudes and behavior are

We need some means
through which there can be an
orderly transference of
ownership from landlord to
responsible local neighborhood
corporations.
gj There have been numerous
occasions, particularly with
large scale rehabilitation
program (operating
rehabilitation) when basically
sound units were given
cosmetic repairs, driving the
rental cost substantially
beyond the local resident's
ability to pay. Why should it
be necessary "for all
rehabilitated unite to have nw
bathrooms and new kitchens If
the present ones are
serviceable? If the cost of
rehabilitation wen reduced to
$1,500 or $2,000 per unit the
rental cost and federal subsidy

Cubans 2(Rh Anmversary Day
Of Independence 1$ Celebrated
BY SARA BAKER SCOTT
' July 26 is Independence
Day in Cuba. On that day In
1963, Fidel Castro and over s
hundred other men and women
attacked the Moncada Army
Barracks of the dictator
Fulgendo Batiste, The attack
failed and some of the rebels
were killed. Many others wen
taken prisoners and later
tortured to death. Fidel Castro
and a few others were put into
prison. But all across Cuba,
thousands of people inspired
by the attack began the
movement that resulted in the
Cuban revolution.
This year Is the 20th
anniversary of that attack. The
20 years since then have been
yean of hard work for Cuba
trying to survive in spite of the
US economic blockade and
countless attempts to sabatoge
the revolution by US backed
mercenaries.
But Cuba is not just trying
to survive under the shadow of
the United States, she is in the
process of building socialism.
This means that as conditions
of life in Cuba are changed and
developed by the people,
progress results in dealing with
people attitudes as well. This is
especially dear in the anas of
racial and sex equality.

interview with a North
American black man who has
been living in Cuba for three
years. Previously he was a
political activist in the black
struggle in the US, but he was
forced to seek asylum In Cubs
to escape QUESTION: As s
black man living in Cuba,
which is a multi-racial society,
what's ycur opinion or
understanding of the racial
situation hen u Cuba? Have
you seen, any problems or
experienced any disc -imination
or seen any manifestation of
racism here? ANSWER: First
of all there has to be an
understanding that the racial
situation hen in Cuba and the
ncial situation in the United
States Is totally and completely
different For example the
development, the social and.
economic development here hi
Cuba was completely different
from in the States...
There are definite signs of
individuals here who still
possess what could be
interpreted as racist attitudes.
However, the institutions that
have been established hen
after the triumph of the
revolution are effectively
defeating those attitudes In
various individuals. I have not

experienced any organized or
any Institutionalised racism
here in Qa FiW was
ft the mountains, he promised
that the revolution would be a
revolution for all the people.
He emphasised that - blacks,
mestizos aB the Cuban
people. It didn't make any
difference.
This Is different from what
happened in the US, For
example in the Civil War in the
US we black people wen
promised land, freedom,
liberty, justice, equality, and so
forth for out participation hi
that struggle on the side of the
North. After the struggle was
over for a brief period of time
we did have some tokenism,
hut as soon as our freedom,
ear liberty went against the
interests of tin system, they
double crossed us and reverted
back to out and out racism.
This is the basic difference.
The Cuban revolution kept Its
word. It kept its word to the
Chinese people. And it is partly
because of this that the whole
thing about racism takes on s
completely different aspect
here in Socialist Cuba.
...They are (overcominf
problems) in several ways. It
might be interesting to note
some or these, iney are no
going around with big signs.
They are not going around
condemning everybody, but
they are incorporating
everyone Into the work force
Then an no jobs that an

their color. Also if you look at
the officials in the local
committees, the organizations,
etc, in all of the provinces you
Will find people of all hues and

organizations.
In the factory in which I
work, this Is a factory that
before was owned by Proctor
and Gamble, and until the
revolution there was only one
black person working tat that
factory and the overall number
of people employed was over
300. As you might well
imagine, that black was
employed as the janitor. Today
s large number of the leaders
of the various organizations in
the factories art black. The
number of blacks employed is
high.

A new Veteress
Administration computer
program to speed checks to
G.L BUI students is expected to
become operational, next
month.
In announcing the new "one
stop" service, VA
Administrator Donald E.
Johnson explained that when
VA receives separation papers
(DD 214) from the military,
VA computers will
automatically generate a
package of papers to veterans.
These include a Certificate of
Eligibility (COE) - required
when applying for any VA
benefit an application for
education or training, and a
form for schools to use to
certify enrollment.
Previously, each of these 1
was a separate step for students
or schools.
The package also will tell
veterans their remaining G.L
Bill eligibility time, about
counseling and tutorial
ssrvkes, how to apply for
educational assistance, and
about courses that may be
selected for training.
Johnson said that under this
new concept, veterans can
complete the application and
present it along with the COE,
to school officials at the time
of registration. The school, In
turn, will complete the
enrollment portion and
forward the entire package to
VA for processing. The first
benefit checks should be
received shortly thereafter
When veterans request advance
payment on the application
forms, checks will be waiting at
the institution for delivery to
them upon registration.
Schools with approved
courses for veterans have been
notified of the new form and
procedure.
