The sad truth about happy birthdays.. ■ "■ Unless you have life insurance now, your rate will increase about 4% on your next birth day. So that if you wait five years to buy, you’ll pay 20% more than you’d pay today. Now here’s a cheerful thought. Once you buy, your rate remains the same. And the younger you buy,, the lower the rate.

Win or lose, however, two facts are already con firmed: the five Afro-American young men at Georgetown are the finest or among the finest basketball palyers in the land and their black coach is probably the best coach in all of college basketball. White sports announcers, in an apparent attempt to deny this reality, call Thompson a coach who “gets along well” with his players. Translated: His only talent is his shared ghetto background. At the same time, they cannot heap enough “well-coached” praise on mediocre-basketball strategies such as Boston College’s. The difference, of course, is a white coach and a much whiter team. By the way, that’s the way you spell R-A-C-I-S-M. There’s another innuendo that shows up in the white-reporting on Thompson. It suggests that he is a little paranoid about the exploitation of black college athletes-“He distrusts a lot of people, including the curious media,” Kindred wrote in the Post. “Thompson still sees a congregation of sinners who would use young black players and discard them without educating them. His work will, in time, help change the perception that college athletics by defini tion abuses blacks,” added the Post sports writer. Thompson does not distrust a “curious media”; he distrusts a racist media which resents his success as an intellectual, a thinker who can out-think whites in a similar capacity. Neither is his observation of ex ploitation a “perception.” . One study of black athletes aSwhite schools showbd that only one out of every 25frgti’flfiafed'ff'Orti'cb1- lege. It is also a fact that they are not recruited with any educational benefit in mind. Georgetown is pro bably, because of Thompson, the single exception to this rule. Virtually all of the Hoyas finish college. On the other hand, look what these young black men-and a black coach-are doing financially for Georgetown University. When they won the Western Regional final, Georgetown got a hefty $440,000 reward-and that’s only one game. And on the heels of this opportunity, a Georgetown official announced more opportunity. “We’re going to be announcing a $115 million campaign,” he said. To capitalize on the literal scent of victory, the school’s president and fund-raisers went to the New Orleans finals to meet with other financial sources who like the association with a winning team. The Hoya Hoops Club, for example, raised a record $70,000 this year. Another booster group, the Hoyas Unlimited, exceeded its $100,000 goal. Thanks, again, to the basketball team. Multiply this experience at Georgetown by the number of white colleges with black football and basketball teams (Footnote: when the teams became black, they said race didn’t matter) times the televi sion rights, huge gate receipts, increase in alumni and corporate donors and you’ll get into the billions of dollars. And the black athletes? With the exception of Georgetown, Notre Dame and black colleges, they get exploited. OUR BIG MRTYSiZE . VERYGOOD SCREWDRIVBtS, BIOODY MARTS AND SENSE.
