In politics, economy
Farrakhan urges new reality for U.S. blacks
By Mika Manty

In an speech before about 14,000 blacks Monday night. Black Muslim activist Louis Farrakhan said that it is the time for blacks in America to create their own economic and political reality.
Farrakhan, speaking at the Los Angeles Convention Center, said that the black lower class suffers because of white manipulation of middle class blacks.
Referring to Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, who in August tried to block the event, Farrakhan said:
"These brilliant (blacks) we have are just managers in a white man's store. . . . When we look a little closer we can see a string from their heads — a string that someone else holds.
"We don't need a man who pays lip service to us but a man who will stand up.
"We are not in an equal position. If the owner doesn't like the way we manage, he can get rid of the black manager. Real power comes when you are the manager in your own store."
He added that despite the education their ancestors made possible by "scrubbing floors and wiping windows," it has not brought American blacks freedom.
"We've got religion — we've got plenty of it. But it hasn't been enough.
"We're still slipping further and further behind. What we need is substance," he told the wildly cheering audience.
Economic power, he said, is the key to a situation in which blacks would not have to adjust to the reality of whites. Everyone can have an economic reality, not only Caucasians or Jews, he
said.
Farrakhan, who said he is neither anti-white nor anti-Semitic, said economic reality, or power, also would lead blacks to political power.
He said eventually that would mean "to have the biggest manager in the biggest store."
Commenting on current U. S. foreign policy, Farrakhan said the country's freedom cannot be maintained with nuclear weapons.
"It is justice that will protect America."
An elderly lady, weeping on the second row, cried "oh yes, we remember, we know" when he talked about exploitation of black
slaves.
"The Constitution says 'We the people' — I ask which people. . . . The political system has compromised our humanity," he
said.
Outside the Convention Center, several Jews protested the Muslim leader's visit.
Jewish Defense League leader Irv Rubin advanced toward the line of people waiting to go through a tight security check.
"Farrakhan is a Nazi. Don't go inside," Rubin shouted.
Most ignored him and the small group of protesters.
Rubin and another protester were encircled by Farrakhan's personal security team and walked out toward the parking lot.
There were no arrests or violence.

By Danielle Sanford

After a nationwide search, James Appleton, vice president for development, has been selected to be the new president of the University of Redlands.
Appleton was chosen from seven finalists because of his "unique combination of backgrounds," said Paula Faust, vice president for development and university relations at the University of Redlands.
Faust said Appleton was chosen because of his experience in student affairs as well as his work	in	university
development.
Prior to his appointment as vice president for development in 1982, Appleton serv ed for 10 years as vice president for student affairs.
"First of all, it's very difficult to leave," Appleton said. "I love being a Trojan."
However, Appleton said he is excited at the prospect of being president of a liberal arts univer-
sity like Redlands.
"Given the growth of the Inland Empire and given the rich tradition of the University of Redlands. I think the best days are ahead." Appleton said.
Richard Hunsaker. chairman of the board of trustees at the University of Redlands, announced Monday that Appleton
James Appleton
will assume the presidency of the independent, liberal arts university- on or before Dec. 1.
The University of Redlands conducted a nationwide and "very extensive ' search for a new president. Faust said.
"It was a good process from the beginning." she added
Appleton's appointment "meets with the overwhelming approval of the University (of Redlands) community and was unanimously approved by the board of trustees." Hunsaker said.
Appleton will replace Douglas Moore, who was president at Redlands until his death last March.
William Jones, formerly academic vice president at Moore-head State University in Minnesota, served as interim president while the search for a replacement was conducted.
Appleton will not be replaced "in the forseeable future,” said Roger CHson, senior vice president for university relations Olson will assume Appleton's duties.
The University of Redlands is located in Redlands. 80 miles east of Los Angeles
Rhodes Scholarship intends to unify
By Julia Kirkendall

In an effort to provide opportunities for international study,, the Rhodes Scholarship program brings together students from 18 countries and allows them to further their studies at the University-of Oxford in England.
There are 70 Rhodes Scholarship recipients selected annually, 32 of whom are from the United States, said Bryce Nelson, director of the School of Journalism and a 1959 Rhodes Scholar.
This university has not had a Rhodes Scholarship recipient since 1975, Nelson said.
Although the university has had more Rhodes Scholars than many other California schools. Nelson believes promoting the scholarship program and other academic programs has not been a high enough priority.
"We're emphasizing the wrong things at this university," Nelson said.
Anywhere from three to five university students will apply for the competitive scholarship this year — and their chances are improving. Nelson said.
He said the university's students have been do-
ing better in their interviews, and he thinks one of them is going to "get one soon."
The Rhodes Scholarship provides for two to three years of study at the University of Oxford with ail tuition and fees paid.
in addition, the scholarship includes a maintenance allowance of approximately S7.164 per year The United States is divided into eight regions that consist of six or seven states each. Selection committees in each region select four students to receive the scholarship.
Students eligible for the scholarship must be single college graduates between the ages of 18 and 24 at the time they begin their study at Oxford. Students may apply in either the region in which they are a legal resident or in their university's region After students send in applications, a committee selects about 14 students to interview. The final selections are made from this group.
Rhodes Scholarships are given to students who not only have a good academic average and demonstrate that they can handle the work at Oxford, but those who the selection committee feels "will make a real contribution in later life," Nelson said

ALL THAT BRASS — The Trojan Marching Band entertains students and aiumni during a Friday night reception at the SL Francis Hotel.
Fewer people mean calm Cat Weekender

Thousands of university students and alumni invaded Berkeley and San Francisco's Union Square for the football game against UC Berkeley this weekend — without creating the destruction and violence indicative of past years.
The only marked misbehavior reportedly came from UC Berkeley students who, as anticipated, threw fruit and other assorted objects at the Trojan Marching Band.
The band was attacked by bananas, avocados, potatoes, peaches and oranges, according to its members, despite attempts by the UC Berkeley administra-
tion to end such behavior
According to John Mejia, the assistant to Dave Maggard. UC Berkeley s athletic director, an article in the school's student newspaper warned students before the game that anyone caught throwing fruit would have their athletic cards pulled.
The warning, printed last week in the DnTy CaUfonuan. was endorsed by the chancellor, athletic director and business director.
In addition, the university contracted outside security for Saturday's game. It was the first time UC Berkeley's security officers actually walked the aisles within the student rooting sec (Continued on page 6)
