Larty visited Old Richmond Elementary School to speak to students about Opera tion Willpower. Addressing 670 students. Rev. Larty explained to the children how fortunate they are to live in the United States. He told them about children in Brazil, living in the streets, searching through trash for food. He also conveyed to the children khe importance of being free of drugs, violence, guns, and jail. A multicolored banner bear ing the "I'm Free mark of con nected hands hung from the stage draperies as a backdrop for the Rev. Larty as he spoke to two separate groups of Old Richmond's students. He capti vated the older audiences of Third, Fourth and Fifth Grade youngsters for nearly thirty min utes. Both students and teachers left the gathering impressed by Rev. Larty's persuasive speech. One student commented, I thought that it was encouraging because if you tell one person not to go to jail or mess witti& guns it probably won't help, but if you tell a lot of people it will help more." Another remarked, "I thought he was very interest ing. It was like he was telling us part happy stories and part sad stories. It was very sad about the teenaged girl going home to California after graduating, and then somebody shot her." A teacher started, "I hope it helps some students. I don't want to read names of our students in the paper for committing crimes." One teacher sighed, "I am amazed at the number of our children who know someone in jail." ? Many of Old Richmond's students are looking forward to the I'm Free special notebooks they will later receive.

Hasan said Lyons must have 16.4 per cent of minority participation and 6.9 percent women partici pation in officials and man agers, professionals, techni cians, sales workers, skilled craftsman semi-skilled opera tives, service workers, and trainees and apprentices, as well as unskilled laborers and clerical staff. "Everyone out here has passed a drug test, reference and criminal check, and are employed by us, for $15.10 per hour to stand here to show that there are people willing to work," said Hasan. "We want as much man power as we can get." In addition Stars EmplQy ment is planning to file an injunction to halt construction. "We will be here every day, eight hours a day until the Lyons Construction Company provides us with a Corrective Action Plan of employment," said Hasan. " This company has two other construction sites, and when they signed federal contracts, those sites automati cally became subject to the same regulations. So we have filed injunctions against both of those sites as well." The other two sites named in the injunction include the construction of the new Wachovia Building on West End Blvd. and the Kerr Drug store on Robinhood Road. Hasan claims that both fail to meet the minimum require ments of women and minority representation. The Chronicle was unable to verify the claims that Lyons was in violation of any federal statutes.
