VEP Seeks Statewide Minority Political Power fn Florida How Te Find A Doctor In A Foreign Country "What—tf you. wfn1 »iok o' —1 injured in a foreign country?' Almost every traveler worrier · about this, and with thousands of Americans traveling, for business or pleasure, i: van be a real problem. To aid travelers, Intermedic was established in 1965 to pro; vide members with a list of English-speaking doctors if> 17!) cities in 75 countries: They are all qualilied to I re at patients themselves, and if spe cialized ireamienl, Jéiual worV ^Hospitalization is necessary. Julian Bond'and John Lew is, official's of the Voter Kducation Project, (VEP) of Atlanta, Georgia, have con cluded a Voter Mobiliza - tion Tour of Florida, the third state to be tfsited in an intensive South - wide effort - to encourage -minor ity political participation. On their two - day tour which began on August 29, Bond and Lewis visited ninp urban centers from tire north western area of Tallahassee to the south - eâstern town of Homestead, the site of a migrant lajjor camp south of Miarni. " Unlike previous VEP ef - in the sûtes trf Mississippi and Louisiana, where large concentrations of Blacks reside in rural are as, the Florida tour was an attempt to mobilize minority voters in urban areas. In the major metropolitan centers such as Miami, Tampa, Or - lando. and Jacksonville, - Blacks and othçr minority - groups do not Comprise a majority of the population, but constitute an important block of power in both local and statewide politics. lian Bond, a board member of the Voter education Pro - ject. expressed satisfac - tion that the tour had been successful, saying, "This is only the· beginning, the fiist step in the process of em - puWermtnt of a st>ml - pow erless peopleT In eacn cpm munity where we visited, vo ter registration forces are mobilizing for the all -im - portant elections to be held in 197C. We urge black voters, who will be wooed by Presidential candidates in the primary election activity in early 1972, to chart a course of political sophistication to support only those parties and candidates which truly re present the needs and as - pirations of the black com m unity." "Florida, unlike Mississippi and Louisiana, does not have a statewide civil "rights movement," Bond continued, "It is our hope that our drivé -can, through statewide -mur registration efforts, tie to - gether minority communities which have been separated in spirit and organization as well as by geography." "We. have tried to say to people In the minority com - munities of Florida that they must continue the strug gle for liberation through the power of the ballot." stated John Lewis, Executive Di - rector of the Voter Educa - tion Project. "We havçcomea long way since the 1960's. il was me non - voient move ment of direct action which, like a bridge over troubled waters, brought us through that decade. Now, in the 1970's, although critics may say it's 'nltl fashioned'^. jue. still need that spirit of commitment and-determina te on, because there's going to be mt>re. troubled waters ahead." ject, a private, non - parti san organization operating in the eleven southern states from Virginia to Texas, pro vides direct assistance in the form of grants to local min ority voter registration - drives. The VEP program -also indudes-citizenship^fiiL·. ucatiufi and technical assis - tance to black elected offi cials in the South. "In the battles of this de - cade," declared Lewis, "the ballot can and. must be a mighty weapon for change. It is ballot power which, in the final analysis, will - transform a divided South into a Beloved Community."

' Every Coach In Nation Would Welcome Problems Of This Defensive Mentor \ GRAMBLING, LA. - Nearly every coach in the country would welcome the problems ι of Julian Spence. the defen Isive secondary mentor at Grambling Cellege. The Black and Gold Tigers of Louisiana have 12 grads Lplaying as defensive backs in Ithe pro ranks and at least 112 more on campus Spence I feels will be likely joining the Jj)lay-for-pay ranks. "This has to be the best group of defensive backs to ever be at Grambling at one time," Spence says. "They are all real aggressive ball hawks, aH of them ar«t hit ters and wcfehave better speed than ever before," Spence added. What makes Spence glow is the fact that there is one I senior in the group, two jun j iors, five sophomores and four I freshmen. But Spence can re i member harder days four I years ago when there «ras no RANK WOODS «hi.llMWThlMCw 71 BUI PHI S4495 Il ΤMUM CI $14K 71 UMtM _ 12411 71 UIUIU s*m 1)111 II TUNfli ΟΙ C*t. .$»« « oui nu (S) Fm tun ii cinuu vmn $2ti$ II tpiJbifti ....

In 1969, the Tiger second ary intercepted a record 30 enemy passes and the unit picked off 22 last season. Spence feels the current crew may break the interception mark again although the Ti gers seldom face a rinky dink passer. Some boys in this current groap have already played to gether for two years. "They are real competitors and take pride iri their work as a un it, remaining on the field^on their own after practice to help one another. They are evenly matched that we never know who will start from one game to the next," Spence said. ... . Six of the present defensive backs have 34 interceptions to show for their work. The lone senior, Rogerest Bolton, 5 10, 165, of Picayune, has in tercepted 11 while junior Steve Dennis, 6-3, 170 of Sarepta, has 12, eight of them last year, and junior Charles Wil liams, 5-11, 175 of Little Rock hjs intercepted four. Soph William Bryand, 5-IV 175, of Minden intercepted 4 last year while soph Thom as Lavigne, 5-11, 175, of New Orleans had two and soph To ny Stanley, 6-1, 175, of Min den had one. _Soph George Guidry, 6-2, 210 of Lake Charles doesn't show an in e terception but has experience.
