SELF-HELP PROJECT:

Plan Area Amusements Center
LOS ANGELES (P)-Twice a1
week, 30 Negro high school seniors
from Wyatts gather in a laboratory
at the University of California at
Los Angeles to work on a $1 mil-
lion, business that could keep them
busy the rest of their lives.
The teenagers have joined a
UCLA engineering class in a;
unique self-help project quietly
hailed as the first to capture the
Watts areas imagination since be-;
fore the summer rioting of 1965.
A scale model of-their dream-.
a 71/2 acre community amusement
center-is taking shape in the
laboratory.
Own Design
The youngsters, working with the
student engineers, have designed
and planned the center. They will
help build and operate it and will
even be stockholders.
Called the Watts Amusement
Center, Inc., the project was in-,
spired by Dr. Morris Asimow,
UCLA engineering professor.

mow decided to build something
lasting for Watts. He had recently
gained a summer grant for one of
his top graduate students, Fred
Slaughter, a lifelong resident of
Watts and former captain of the
UCLA basketball team.
Slaughter, 25, did much of the
groundwork on the project before
leaving to work for a law degree
at Columbia 'University in New
York.
They met with various business
and youth groups in the Negro
community to discuss possible en-
terprises.

unrest in Watts.
Now Miller had a ready store of
youthful talent and enthusiasm at
his Studio 103 teen post, so called
because his programs mostly dwelt
on art, drama and photography.
Teen agers from four high
schools set up committees to con-
ceive a project for Asimow and
his student engineers-
They came up with an auto-!
motive wonderland, bristling with
midget car race tracks and drag
strips and a build-it-yourself go-
cart shop, and including a swim-
ming pool, canopied dance pavil-
ion, skating rink and hot dog
stands.
Said Miller: "The amusement
center is the first project brought
into Watts from the outer com-
munity to be warmly received."
Talks are under way with a rail-
road to buy the necessary land.
Asimow hopes supplies and ma-
terials will be donated.
Sell Shares
To raise money, shares in the
corporation will be sold throughout
southeast Lon Angeles. Loans will
be floated through commercial
banks and the U.S. Small Business
Administration.

ting a $200,000 grant from the

ident Johnson wants funneled in-
to the nation's big cities to provide
jobs for teenagers this summer.
He figures 300 teenagers and
young adults will be kept busy
during the construction phase and
that it will take a force of 250
to operate the center once it's
built.
"This is no hit or miss proposi-
tion," he said. "It will provide
contnuous employment without
continuous funding."

Beginning on Sept. 27, Mark
Lane will begin the series with a
discussion of his book "Rush to

of acting too hastily in their in-
vestigation of the Kennedy assas-

On Oct. 11 will be former Epis-

may be facing a heresy trial by
church bishops is currently in res-
idence at the Center of Demo-
cratic Institutions. He will deliver
a speech entitled "Fewer Beliefs,

On Oct. 29, F. Lee Baily will
elaborate on the headline-grab-

Student tickets for the series
will cost $3 and individual student
tickets will cost $1, less than a
movie.
Rosyln Braeman, UAC executive
vice-president, said they could not
finance quality speakers without
having a nominal charge. Despite
the charge she said that UAC has
still budgeted a $2,500 loss on the
series.
Goldwater will cost them $2,000
and the other speakers will run
only slightly less. UAC must also
come up with money for travel
expenses, the rental of Hill Audi-
torium, and advertising expenses.
