Mr. Gillis - a waste of URI money

 May I suggest that  Mr. Robert E. Gillis, URI's

    new " permanent affirmative action chief " is nothing

    more than a $78,000 a year hoax ?

            Any inner city school principle can suggest hundreds

    of worthy candidates for help in getting higher education.

            For me the issue is POVERTY - not RACE. Is it OK

    for 20% of white kids to be both poor and hopeless ? Why

    no outreach program for them ?

              What Michael Harrington called " The Other America "

    is indeed a rainbow coalition- black, latino, asian, Indian

    white.  Is it unjust for ANYBODY to be hopeless or is

    there an acceptable POVERTY QUOTA in this country, approved

    by the official friends of the have-nots, The Democrats ?

           After 8 years of Clinton-Gore , things are worse

    than ever in the other America.

            Don't lose sleep over the election outcome !
