STUDENT ASSOCIATION GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS STAN F ORD UNIVERSITY STANFORD CALIFORNIA 94305 August 24, 1969 The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor Atlanta, Georgia 30300 Dear Mr . Allens Although I am now in Cal ifornia attending Stanford University, as a citizen of Atlant a I have kept interested in the progress that you have so obviously fostered. It has become apparent to me that your Urban Corps program is astounding in its fonsight. The effe ct on the college student participants and the persons in disadvantaged areas with whom they worked is well lmown here in Palo Alto, California. I further understand that renewal of this project is under considerat ion. I implore you to push for its continuance. If we young people cannot find established methods such as this to put our unselfish talents and energies to work, then I fear the radicals will have proven their point in the uselessness of "working through the system". Both you and I a re proud of our city . As the city government leader, you should marshall its resources to solve its problems. Not only are the young people economically and energetically feasible, but building a base of understanding at that level can help to erase the base of hate and qpression under which we were brought up.
