Now a commercial art major, he is the founder of 1969 and applied for the position of staff cartoonist by showing his comic strip plus other drawings
Sokoloff began drawing "Griff and the Unicorn" during the latter part of his high school years. The idea for the characters came from his interest in mythology. However, Sokoloff no secret about the fact that "Griff and the Unicorn" are really be-
Many of Sokolkoff's ideas for the comic strip come from conversations and from his being the people around him and to himself.
"I'm never off-duty," said Sokoloff. "I'm always looking for ideas."

HEW Drops Cases For Desegregation
One myth Sokolko wished to clear up was that cartoonists are able to simply "grab" their ideas out of the air.
"It doesn't work that way," he said. "It takes concentration."
"Sometimes I was too fuzzy and drawing was a chore," he said. "The characters intentionally. I let the strip go its own way. I let it come."

Sokolkoff's outside interests include jazz, reading, ping pong and drawing. Three of these are also included in his ambitions.
"We've been able to find only one district that refused to go ahead with a desegregation plan on grounds they required a warrant," said one high official, "That was Evansville, ind." HHEW is now deciding whether to terminate the city's federal school age.
While galuing desegregation assurances from 34 of the small towns that has dropped cases against nine school systems with remaining majority-black schools. Department officials say action probably will not be pressed against what was termed disproportionate, district whose cases are pending.
"I would like to have the strip syndicated," he said, "but I also like to become a jazz pianist. United States table tennis team."
HEW informed the 80 districts
The HEW officials acknowledged that one factor in deciding not to prosecute some districts is the long-distance needed to integrate the remaining schools with racial imbalances.
Sokoloff said he believed talent was only secondary in becoming an artist. He said more important is dedication and perseverance.
