At the recent National B la c k P olitical Convention, llu lle r t Janies, Cootdlnatoi (or the March, s|waking Hum tie platform Introduced a res olution (or support by tlw con vention.

Be It lesolved t h a t the Black National P olitical Convention wholeheartedly supports the C h lld ie ri's March for Survi val, M an h 2>th. I he Child ren's March fo r Survival Is a declaration of life: the I lie of a child. The C hildren's M archisthe result of m a n y nationally known organizations ami indi viduals who h a v e joined in a collective e ffo rt tu bring uni versal attention toth e p llg h lo f poor children in the Culled States today.

I hey have called for the C hildren's March f 01 Survival In Washington, D .C ., Saturday, M a r c h 25, 1972, which w ill be the occasion lo r a lieaceful, dram atic endeavor to m ark the beginning of a ma jo r action campaign to ietnove tlie causes of problems that have fo r so long victim ized poor children. Ihe March w ill le led by M rs . Coretta King, two of her children and M rs . Beulah San ders (Chairman, executive Board, National W e lf a r e Rights Organization), and tier tlitee chlldien. We know, of course, that when we sjeak of problems from poverty, hunger, malnu tritio n , [>oor schools, p o o r health, inadequate housing, and exploited environment, racism, ami the war, we are speaking about tlie suffei ingof many, many Black children. We k n o w , also that the prob lems that have kept our Black Brothers and Sisters im p ri soned fo r so long in rural ami uiban decay have not hail tlie genuine concern of those peo ple who are responsible to all citizens of the United States, I hroughout the years, no p ri o rity has been given to re solute answers that would re move these shameful condi tions. A ll of the poor children, cer tainly, a re not B la c k . I h e r e are p o o r children among the Indians, Chicanos, Whites, ami Spanish-speaking Americans. Never - the - less, much has been said of intentional geno cide of Black people in the United States. Ihe whitepow- ei structure denies t h i s, or coui se. I he prophecies, how ever, of Black genocide are becoming events that are liap- jening in this country every day. Ihe cycle of jiast oppression must le broken; the possibility of B la c k genockie must fe stopfied. Ihe torch fo r true freedom must lie passed on to <xji Black children. We are re minded of the present coui se Black Sisters and Brothers have I inally chosen: tonolong- ei 1« le c ond , third, and no ■ class citizens; to no longerask foi justice; to no longer he ashanieil of skin color - but ra tlie i, to le together; to stay together - m total demands, foi tie same justice ami tie same ojiportunities that are the equal rights of all A m eri cans. It is In keeping with th e s e resolutions, that th e Child ren s March fo r Suivlval w ill happen. I lie March w ill otter a day of festivity fo r the child ren - and w ill he one e ffo rt to begin a year of action to save tlie hlldren, - and insodotng, save A m erica's Black child ren. I wo Portland high school students have been selected by the Oregon Association of Broadcasters to work with commercial s p o r t c a s t e r s during the AAA High School State Basketball Tournament. Steve Brandon, Cleveland High School, and Steve Hend- ncks, Lincoln High School, w ill assist in tlie play-by-play coverage of tournament games slated fo r March 21-25 at Memorial Coliseum. Both are seniors with four years exjaerience as broad casters fo r Radio Station KBPS, tlie student operated station of the Port)ami Pub lic Schools.

Come on, I like to fie challenged Since theie aren’ t any |ues- ■ t'zo y. I ’ ll take tins chance to pi jg a relatively new program called P r o j e c t BOOST. A successful third year at the Project BOOST School has resulted in expansion from 40 students in the present enroll ment to 100 in the coming year. P roject BOOST (Broadened Opportunities for O fficer Se lection and I raining; is dedi cated to putting more m inority fa c e s behind the Naval of fic e r's uniform . T he objective of tie pro gram is to bring under p riv i le g e d , culturally - Jepr ived personnel to a level at which they can compete equally with th e ir peers. Selected members of racial m in o ritie s w ho have demon strated potential, yet haven't the necessary qualifications to he accepted fo r an officer can didate program, are firs t sent through the enlisted man's ba sic school. On completion, en rollm ent in BOOST's academ ic program w ill allow him time to meet those qualifica tions' requirements. The success of Project BOOST can he measured by the success of individuals who have completed tie program. To date, 45 future officers who have completed training with BOOST are enrol led in col leges and u n i v e r s i t i e s throughout the country. P roject BOOST has been de scribed as " fa v o r itis m " . . . "d iscrim in a tio n in reverse." According to LieutenantCom- mander Rudy Glivens, the Of fic e r in Charge of BOOST, it is simply "unequal opportu nity through which these men can gain an equal opportu n ity ." It is equality with a chance to catch up. Item sPlanted InM archW ant Ads,ReapM oney For A p ril Taxe CASH FOR OLD FURNITURE Don t throw or give away your unwanted older item s.
