4 4As the movement of concerned people
grows, our level of sophistication and understanding
grows with it," said the Rev. Carlton A.G.
Eversley, a member of the Hunt Defense Committee,
which maintains the 20-year-old black
man did not murder Sentinel copy editor
Deborah Sykes, a white woman. Hunt was
sentenced in June to life imprisonment for the
crime.
44We all become more enlightened and directed
to a larger struggle," Eversley said. 44Dr. (Martin

of the time.* One fdels as a Christian that Ood
has a role in this and this is God*s time to say

The city intends to hire a new pro for Winston
Lake Golf Course within weeks, says a Recreation
Department official.
"We are in the process of interviewing and, if we

to personnel, we could have a pro in as soon as
two to three weeks," said Deputy Recreation
Department Director Thomas J. Gavin III Monday
afternoon. "But if that doesn't work out, it may
take a little longer."
The city advertised for a pro Aug. 6 through
Aug. 12, Gavin said, attracting some local applicants.
But he declined to say whom.
Odds are, said a local black golfer who didn't
want his name used, Harold Dunovant was among
them
Former Winston Lake pro Dunovant campaigned
for the job late last year. Dunovant sent a petition
signed by local golfers and endorsing him for the
post to Recreation Director Nick Jamison and
-Assistant City Manager Joe Berrier before a vacancy
had been announced.
Dunovant, a Class A professional with the Professional
Golfers' Association, said his credentials
as the only black PGA member in the area make
him the most logical choice for the job.
He could not be reached for comment.
New registration nolicv

New Board of Elections rules governing special
registration clerks are a throwback to the past,
charges Walter Marshall, vice president of the
NAACP and chairman of the group's voter
registration drives.
. But William T. Graham, chairman of the Board
of Elections, said the changes only reflect policies
that already should be in practice.
"It's not a real change," said Graham. "It's a
clarification of what we hoped was being done
fllrpaHv "
At the board's meeting Tuesday afternoon, it
decided to limit the number of special registration
clerks and to require that all such clerks be responsible
for turning in their own cards within a week.
Problems arise, said Graham, from the large
number of cards filled out improperly or illegibly.
In addition, some registrars have turned in all their
cards at once in the past, he said. Instructions on
the back of each card say it should be turned in

Angelou: There are Darryl Hunts all over the wor
vm w
i on leasing course
But other golfers mentioned Ernest Morris, ar
assistant pro at Tanglewood Golf Course, and loca
businessman Jim Conrad, who once edited a goll
magazine in New York, as possible candidates.
Because it is a personnel matter, Gavin said h<
couldn't comment on the applicants.
Since Sept. 1 of last year, Winston Lake Goll
Course has operated without a pro. Former pro E
Jerry Jones resigned last fall after being charged
with the possession of stolen goods.
Jones still, however, owns and rents the course's
golf carts.
Meanwhile, some golfers complained that the
course, which is located in the black community,
deserves better treatment by the city. In the past,
they complained that the course's facilities weren't
up to par, but improvements have been made.
The clubhouse has been expanded to include a
grill, a shelter has been built for the golf carts and
the overall condition of the grounds has been improved.
.
According to Gavin, the course is in its best-ever
physical condition.
A more recent concern, however, is the prospect
that the city might lease the golf course to a private
Firm. The city already has leased Reynolds Park
Golf Course to California-based American Golf
Corp. Leasing Winston Lake to a private, for-profit

As he sat down to complete his
10-year report in 1972, T. Willard
Fair, president of the Miami Urban
League, felt pretty good.
In just 10 short years the
organization had expanded from
three to 300 employees and the
budget had grown from a mere
$19,000 to more than $3 million.
Quite impressive, Fair thought.
As Fair went on to look over

as Fair started to study the impact

disappointed.
