PORTLAND/OBSERVER Thursday April I, 1971 Two black students Bank elevates F r a n k lin The experiences of two blacks who attended predominantly white universities in tie North are told in two current national magazines* In the February Red book, Jan Robinson tells what It's I ike to be black and female at a school that also is predominantly male, Princeton. M iss Robinson was a 19-year - old from Brooklyn, N. Y w h e n she entered Princeton as a fresh man in the fall of 1969. Her conclusion in an epilogue is: " I fu lly realize that what ever I achieve and take back to my community w ill be tie result of may own efforts and my own a b ility. Not because I attended a pre stigious school. 'Ivy League’ doesn’ t mean a thing to many Blacks-what I may have to offer does.” In tiie March Esquire, w rite r J . Anthony Lukas traces tie " f ir s t 23 years of Roy DeBerry from a tin-roofed M ississippi shack to the computer building at Brandeis U niversity.” DeBerry left Holly Springs, M iss., with experience in voter registration and the M ississippi Freedom Democratic P arty. H is disenchantment with Brandeis led to his eventual lead ershlp of the small group of blacks that took over a university building and submitted demands to the president then, M o rris Abrams. DeBerry is quoted as w riting of his experiences: "M any of us ap pear to have taken Brandeis out of the context of American society. I think that we had naively as sume! that over a period of time of applying pressure Brandeis would grant the 10 demands. We were partly c o rre ct. She would grant more than two thirds of them ...If Brandeis would allow blacks to select a d ire cto r ( of black studies), that would mean a redistribution of pow er- student power and power in black people to control the direction of their lives. Brandeis and the U S are very much aware of this. They w ill -usfe «ny means necessary in order to hold on to this power. It has to be broken..... ” W a lla c e c o - o p e r a te s Jethro Franklin Jethro Franklin lias heennam ed Consumer C redit Loan O fficer at United States National Bank of Oregon's Lloyd Center Branch, Franklin has been with U.
