The Financial Aids Office learned on Monday, Feb. 2, that unless Congress and the President of the United States made arrangements for addition- al funding, the U.S. Office of Education would be unable to honor full BEOG commitments. Financial Aids Officer Donald Watson said, "The situation wiìl hopefully be resolved in the next three to four weeks at the federal level." Until then everything is being done to secure funds for book and emergency loans, he said. As a result of this, BEOG payments for the current 'semester are being reduced to one-third of the scheduled payments. Additional amounts be released contingent upon receipt of funds from the federal government. "There won't have been any BEOG payments if the SCCCD hadn't meet to back with one-third of the money," said Watson. Watson added that all SEOG chec\9 will start going out today at fulì payment. BEOG payments for the spring semester have been rescheduled for Feb. 18 through Feb. 23. "By the end of this year over $16 million will have been spent on nes¡ construction on the FCC campus," said Dean of Special Services Rich¿rd Clel¿nd.

EAmer¡con Essoys'T

Gorrisolt--'Unsung Hero of Emonc¡pct¡on'came to be known as the"eonspiracy of silence" wasfinally broken.

Whether seated in åis atticpenning an indignant editorial orstanding arrogantly at thepodium before a hostile gallery,his message was always thesame-that slavery was adespicable, intolerable injusticeagainst humanity that must bedestroyed immediately regard-less of the political, social, oreconomic qonsequences.

Commenting at the end of thewlr, the Nation 'terr¡ed hisachievement "pefhaps the most'remarkable inst¿nce on reeord ofsingle-hearted devotion to acause."

Garrison reached manhood inan age when reform movementswere affecting virtually everyaspect of American life. He wasgreatly influenced by his deeplyreligious mother, who preachedto him the necessity of personalmoral purity

As a young man with a thirstfor recognition--"My name shallone day be known to the world,"he prophesied al, age 22-heaccepted an offer to edit an earlyabolitionist newspaper and, sixmonths lat.er, found himselfjailed for 49 days for allegedlylibeling a slave-trader.

On the first day of January,l&31, Garrison published the firstissue of the Boston Liberator in atone ühe paper maintained forovcr a third of a century.

'I llVill Be He¡rd'"I am aware that many object

l,o the severity of my language,"hc wrote, "but is there not causefor severity? I will be as harsh astruth, and as uncompromising asjusl,icc. On this subject, I do notwish to think, or speak, or writewith moderation... I am inearnest-I will not equivocate-Iwill not excuse-I will not retreatu'singlc inch-AND I WII,L BEHEARD.''

Before the year was out, Nat

Turner had led a violent slaverevolt in Virginia that left 59whites dead. Many southernerscontended that Garrison's harsh,uncompromising language hadinstigated the insurrection, butthe balding young radical termedthat charge to be "foul slander."

A gentle paeifist and preacherof non-resistanee, Garrison was"horror-struek" by the uprising.But his intense hatred of theinstitution historian Alan Nevinscalled ". . . the greatest misery,the greatest wrong, the greâtesteurse to white and black alikethat America has eve¡ known,"kept him staunehly on the side ofthe slaves.

"In all that (I) have written,"Garrison questioned, "is there(anything) to justify the excessesof the slaves? No. Nevertheless,they deserve no more censurethan . . . our fathers for slaughter-ing the British.'l

By 1833, he had helped foundthe New England and AmericanAnti-Slavery societies, eventual-Iy driving the moderates out of'each.

In 1844. the Liberator took oneof its most controversial stands,calling for the North to secedefrom the union and bannering theslogan "No union with slavehold-ers." Gar¡ison labeled theconstitutional "compact" withthe South "a covenant withDeath and an agrement withHell" and he publicly burned acopy of the Constitution.Garrison refused to becomeinvolved in political activity toaccomplish his ends and wasunwilling to recognize agovernment that would allowhuman bondage to exist.

Refused totW¡verThe year 1859 brought John

Brown's raid on H_arper's Ferryin an abortive attempt to free theslaves by force. And, again,Garrison refused to waver.

"I am a non-resistant-abeliever in the inviolability ofhuman life," he wrote. "...(But)

rather than see men wear theirchains in a cowardly and servilespirit, I would, as an advocate ofpeace, much rather see thembreaking the head of the tyrantwith their chains."

The secession of the South andthe outbreak of war soonfollowed Brown's raid andbrought Garrison uncharacteris-tically to the support ofPresident Lincoln in the beliefthat the w.ar would achieveeither emancipation if the Northwon, or a separation between thefree and slaveholding st¿tes iftheSouth triumphed.

Although Garrison was criticalof Lincoln throughout the war,his att¿cks were uncommonlysubdued. Sensing the nearness ofthe emancipation he had foughtwith such dedication to obtain,Garrison became. for the fhsttime in his career, one of theabolitionists' more moderatespokesmen.

Believing that his work wasfinished after Lincoln's Emanci-

pation Proclamation, Garrisonsoon closed up shop on thçLiberator, stating with typicalimmodesty that ". . . none hasexerted a higher moral...influ-ence."

Regardless how one viewsGarrison-as a "farsighted refo¡mer" or "irresponsible fan¡-tic" -no one can question hisbelief in his convictions becausehis convictions never changed. Inall his time at the front liDes ofthe abolitionist inovemenL henever baektracked. neverdodsed never evaded.

"One might decry his invective...(but) one eould never shutout his elamor," co¡cludedPulitzer Prize-winner RusselNye, a Garrison biographer. "Todisagree with Garrison, men hadto face up to the problem, rethinktheir beliefs, examine their ownconsciences. \[hen men did this,slavery was doomed. . . Garrison,more than any other one person,shattered the 'conspiracy ofsilence."'

Resident housing managersare responsible for the day-teday management of housingprojects; the people RobertJensen. an instructor in theprogram, calls "professionals ofmany trades."

The heart of the degreeprogram is a class in housing.management (Real Estate 64),which provides the student withinformation on advertising;sòtttnç processing applicationsto renh preparing rentalagreements; moving tenants in;exterior and interior mainte-nance; tenant relations; andoffice proeedures.

Other course requirements ofthe program include real est¿te,accounting, human relations'business correspondence' moneyand personnel management'child ãnd cultur¿l studies, dndwork experience.

The piogram satisfies newlY'established Housing and UrbanDevelopment dePartment re'quiremeits for certilication ofr:esi '¿nt housing managers'

allowed to manage new,multiple-family housing projectsof 1ü) or more units insured orsubsidized by IIUD.

According to Eckenrod, devel-opment of FCC's housingmariagement AS degree programwas prompted by the HUD pushto upgrade the resident managerprofession that began about twoyears ago. . ..-

Eckenrod said that concernedFresno business, government,and educ¿tion leaders formed anad hoc committee at that time toexamine the residen't,. mûnagersituation locally. The committeedetermined that the Fresnoarea would have a need for over3fi) resident managers over thenext two years. Members thenset about to help FCC develop aprogram curriculum.

Eckenrod said community.interest in such a program wasmade apparent to him when the'housing management course wasoffered for the first time l¿stspring. The college had madepreparations for 20 students and70 showed up the first night ofclass.

Jensen, a parttime eveninginstructor and managing agentfor some of the largest housingprojects in Fresno, says he haseome to recognize the impor-tanee of a resident manager tothe success of a housing project.

"You don't build a projeetcosting millions of dolla¡s so it'llfail," Jensen commented. "The¡esident msnager of a 460-unitapartment complex had better bea professional because-he's in aposition to make ôr break theproject."

Eckenrod eommented thatgraduates from FCC's programõhould insure the Fresno area ofgetting government-guaranteedloans for large housing proiectsfor many years to come,

"Persons who have training inhousing management have avaluable service to sell to the realestate field," commented R. E.Rogers, a housing managementofficer in HUD's San Franciscoregional office. "I commendFresno City College for thinkingahead.

It wasn't your usual final exam when students from KentSteadman's and Kathy Wosika's Art 6 and 10 classes stagedtheir "Happening."

Just what was happening on the lawn west of theAdministration Building during last finals week became evidentas the string and peach tree prunings began to take form.

With the pruning supplied, the students came with scissorsand string to create their final project. Structures ranged froma suspension bridge and boat to huts and hammocks.

The purpose of the Happening, says Wosika, was to show thevariety of objects that can be made from simple naturalmaterials.

performed for seven classes,ranging from the second grade tothe sixth. Both Dariena and "herkids" loved it.

Tid Madden, the only sixthgrader performing, had thehonor of being narrator. "It wasgreat! Everyone ìrlas behind thecurtain but me. I had the mostimportant part," boasted Tim.

But fourth graders MikeBishel, Daren Shore, Carl Bishel,Brett \{ylnd, and Jane Maddenwere much too busy with theirown parts to notice fim's.

Also helping out were fifthgraders Tracy Bryson andJacquig--Quintero, fourth graderJesse Grijalva, and little secondgrader Sharon Gunter.

Class responses were excel-lent. "The older kids (11 and 12year olds) really enjoyed it -especially when the heads keptfalling off," recalled Dariena.

One student even took photosof the show. "I got a real goodshot of the stage falling down,"laughed sixth grader Ken Taylor.

All in all, the show was a greatsuccess. Going back to playingcarrom, making key chains, andcreating popsicle stick inventionsis a bit of a step down after suchan exciting project. But Darienahas other plans for "her kids."It's just that she needs a littletime to recover.

She loves her work andwouldn't trade it for anything,but she admits it's a lot of hardwork. "One thing- aboút kids,"she remarked, "they sure keepyou on your toes!"

Derek Shiraga - "I didn't payit this year because I don't use it.Nobody ever told me that you'renot required to pay 910.25 whenyou can pay 25 cents."

She kneels behind thecardboard stage and proudlywatches "her kids" perform apuppet show for a second gradeclass.

Her name is Dariena Stine andshe's just like any other FCCstudent working her waythrough college. Except onething - she loves her job.

Dariena works at ManchesterElementary School for theFresno City Recreation Depart-ment, "Her kids" are the seven to12year olds who stay around theplayground after school.

She got the job through FCCinstructor Ken Dose, and sâidshe's grateful for all he's done forher. "He knew I needed a job andhe helped me out," said Dariena.

Dariena's job at the school isfocused on arts and crafts. Herlatest project was an all-studentpuppet show. "Her kids" madeeverything from the stage to thepuppet heads by themselves,with a little help from Dariena.

It took one week to prepare forthe performances. Once in awhile a problem would arise -the can of wheat paste for thepaper mache heads would falland spill the paste all over theground; the boys would play inthe cardboard theatre; smallfights and distractions from thelocal junior high kids wouldemerge. But Dariena managed tocontrol the situations with greatpatience.

The Vocational Training Cen-ter of Fresno will receive an$f1,000 federal grant to businmates at the Fresno CountvHonor Farm to the VTC foiwelding training beginning inSeptember.

The California Couneil onCriminal Justice recently ap-proved funding fo¡ the busingproject proposal, which wasoriginated and written by FCCinstruetor Peter Kuiper with¿dvice from VTC directorWilliam Hanson ¿nd the countyprobation department.

Funds will be used to purchasea bus ¿nd welding equipment andto pay salaries and travelexpenses.

"We expect the project tosignilieantly raise an inmate'sself-esteem. self-direction andresponsibility as well as lowerre-arrest rates," commentedKuiper.

The VTC, adni¡istÊred by theSt¿te Center Community CollegeDistrict, houses sn intensivetraining progrsm desigaed toprepare what, in most cases, aredisadvantaged' students foremployment i¡ the shortestpossible time, according toHanson. The center has anongoing enrollment of 180 dayand 90 evening stude¡ts inautomotives and welding and,says Hanson, a high job-placement rate for its graduates.

In the fall, inmates will beginattending welding d¡sses at theVTC three evenings a week.

The busing program will beevaluated in April 19?? todetermine its success. If' at that

," time, at least 50 per cent of theinmates are still attending theVTC or have found employmentas a welder or in a related field,the program will be consideredsuccessful, according to Kuiper.
