Rainbow Family
celebrates love,
upsets residents
ZAVALLA (AP) — Twenty years
alter the hippies of Haight-Ashbury
were wearing love beads and trip
ping on LSD, flower power is about
to meet the quietly reserved Piney
Woods.
An estimated 20,000 members of
the Rainbow Family, a loose-knit
group of nature lovers, will descend
on the Angelina National Forest in
July to conduct the group’s 17th an
nual “Gathering of the Tribes.”
Billed as a weeklong celebration
of peace and love, the gathering al
ready has stirred emotions among
Zavalla’s 700 residents.
“You take 20,000 people like that
and put them near a town of 700 like
ours — you’re going to have bed
lam,” said Keith Harris, an insur
ance man and lifelong resident of
the area.
Zavalla, about 200 miles southeast
of Dallas, has no police department
— only an elderly constable and a
part-time deputy from the Angelina
County Sheriffs Department.
“We’ve heard that nothing embar
rasses them — going to the bath
room out in the open, having sex in
public,” said Van Johnson of Van’s
Grocery and Feed.
But one longtime Rainbow mem
ber, Stephen Principle, a political ac
tivist from Washington, D.C., denied
such rumors.
“In the 16 years we have gath
ered, no community has ever been
raped or pillaged or burned,” he
said.
“Most of the people that come
don’t want to hang out in a town,”
Principle said. “They come to get
away from that, to get into trie
woods. Most of us come to practice
our belief of communing with na
ture.”
Principle said the campouts,
which attract members like attorneys
and doctors, are well-organized,
with communal kitchens, water sup
plies and privies.
The gatherings have featured
wandering minstrels, craft
workshops, political discussions,
rock bands and a traveling circus
Principle said some participants
go nude and use some drugs, pri
marily marijuana. Still, he said,
when 12,000 Rainbow members met
in Nantahala National Forest in
North Carolina last year, fewer than
a dozen members were arrested for
drug possession.
But the U.S. Forest Service said
last year’s gathering severely dam
aged a valuable national wilderness
area in North Carolina.
Forest service officials in Lufkin
said last week they will require the
“You take 20,000 people
like that and put them
near a town of 700 like
ours — you’re going to
have bedlam. ”
— Keith Harris, lifelong
resident near site where
meeting is expected
Rainbows to get a permit for their
meeting.
Mike Lannan, supervisor for the
four national forests in Texas, said
the federal agency is fully prepared
to initiate whatever legal action is
necessary to keep the Rainbows out
of the forests if tney fail to get a per
mit.
To obtain a permit, the group will
have to present a plan showing they
will meet all health and safety stan
dards required for such a mass gath
ering, he said.
That would include proper drink
ing water and provisions for medical
problems and disposal of trash and
human waste.
But the Rainbow Family is loosely
organized with no leaders and be
lieves they have the right to gather in
a national forest whenever and
wherever they want — with no inter
ference from forest rangers and
other law enforcement officials.
“The Constitution is the permit
for people to gather on public
grounds,” Principle said.
“It is not the forest service’s land,
it is the people’s land,” he said.
Principle agreed to discuss the
forest service concerns at a Rainbow
Family council meeting later this
month in one of the national forests.
The council will try to narrow the
list of sites for the gathering, using
reports from Rainbow scouts who
have been in the area for several
weeks.
Meanwhile, law enforcement off!
cials from towns in the East Texas
area are worried, in part because of
a videotape taken by forest service
employees of last year’s gathering.
“It’s unbelievable,” said Rick Wil
son, police chief in nearby Hunting-
ton, who recently saw the film
“They’ll be naked, they’ll be doping
they’ll be doing it all.”

ALIGNMENT
AUSTIN (AP) — About 200 black
graduates of the University of Texas
returned to the campus last weekend
for a reunion that looked more to
ward the future than the past.
On Saturday, the second annual
reunion organized by the Black
Alumni Advisory Committee of the
Ex-Students’ Association focused on
ways to expand black students’ op
portunities at the university and af
ter graduation.
Closer ties between UT and the
black alumni as well as the rest of the
black community in Texas are
needed in order to improve recruit
ment and retention of black students
and faculty, John Chase, a Houston
architect who is chairman of the ad
visory committee, said.
“We need to just keep doing what
we’re doing now, constantly getting
the word out and the university be
ing more a part of the community,”
said Chase, who enrolled at UT soon
after the 1950 Supreme Court deci
sion that opened the university to
blacks.
“I think the more we do those
things, the more the barriers are
going to break down,” he said.
The reunion included an update
on minority recruitment and reten
tion by university President William
Cunningham, visits with students
from the alumni’s hometowns and
tours of the campus.
The alumni also discussed the
new admissions policies going into
effect in the fall, the minority out
reach centers that UT and Texas
A&M University have set up around
the state, ways to increase the
amount of business UT does with
minority-owned companies, and a
new alumni program that aims at
providing mentors from different
professions for current students.
The mentor program will be orga
nized this summer to provide a net
work through which black students
can receive career guidance from
alumni and others, said Tyrone
Freeman, a 1981 marketing grad
uate and an assistant vice president
at Bright Banc in Austin.
The program also will help stu
dents find role models and establish
a “social support network,” Freeman
said.
Alumni in law, business, account
ing, nursing, engineering, education
and many other Fields filled out in
formation sheets that will be used to
match them with students.
The alumni will be asked to make
at least four contacts with their stu
dents during the next school year.
Cunningham told the alumni that
there is reason to be optimistic about
increasing the number of black stu
dents next fall, since applications
and admissions of blacks have risen
significantly.
Applications from black freshmen
are 30 percent higher than last year,
and the number of applicants ad
mitted has risen by 40 percent, Cun
ningham said. Black applications to
graduate school have risen 25 per
cent, and admissions are up 70 per
cent, he said.
UT had about 1,600 black stu
dents last fall, about 3.4 percent of
the total number of students.
