Jenkins
Time versus tension
One hundred fifty or more blacks and whites
left the front porch of President Jenkins last
night, after pressing a yes-or-no answer to "Do
you support the demands or not?" Jenkins
would obviously rather have qualified the
answer, but expectant faces and pressuring
voices got an affirmation. The shuffle of feet on
pavement muffled what sounded like an in
part" at the end.
SOULS opened up their regular meeting last
night with a sizable contingent of white quests
in support of their demands. Several questions
were raised and dispensed with in further
clarification of the demands. Someone asked
what has been done, and the evening's activities
took shape.
Many blacks have expressed ill-will over
progress on the demands, remembering last
year's "requests" and the ineffective Race
Relations Board. SOULS leaders suggested a
walk to the house of the man who should know
what's been done or what can be done.
Consequently, President Jenkins answered
his doorbell to find a lawn full of faces, though
hardly with surprise since the police pulled up
at the same time. SOULS president Johnny
Williams greeted Jenkins and opened the
evening's dialogue with an elaboration on the
last question of the meeting.
Jenkins mainly listed several things his study
committees were hoping to do, i.e the first
two supervisory positions opened will be given
to black maintenance workers (now employed
only as laborers), and a proposed Faculty
Senate committee "to take care of any rudeness
on the part of the faculty
Also mentioned was the search for more
black athletes and two black professors Jenkins
says have been contacted.
Comments from the blacks seemed to
indicated they were hearing nothing new, as the
demand for "concrete evidence" echoed
stronger each time. Every instance of talk about
"legal channels" or "the machinery" invoked
cries for a stronger guiding hand by the
president.
Jenkins claimed to have no dictatorial
powers, as an employee of the state and a
worker under the direction of the Board of
Trustees. Frequently unanswered questions of
"what powers do you have?" netted the
impression, as one black student put it, that
"hrs done what little he intends to
However two promises were made- a
convocation on the demands will be held
"soon" by Jenkins, and he will arrange for
black leaders to speak at the next Board of
Trustees meeting. Since the next meeting is not
scheduled until May, Jenkins agreed that it was
within his power to request an emergency
session.
Taking her cue from talk of the Board of
Trustees and Robert Morgan, one black co ed
asked, "If as president of this university, you
cannot meet the demands of so small a group of
students, how as governor do you intend to
meet them?"
The meeting that had begun with most of
Jenkins' visitors off his wide and gracious front
porch progressed with the circle closing tighter
around the front door. Normal traffic was
enough to make hearing hard, but the influx of
campus policemen, state troopers, and at least
one SBI agent made things a bit more tense.
One black student tersely thanked Jenkins for
"your confidence in us
Things drew to a peak and a close as the
demand for an answer to "Do you support our
cause?" grew more committed. Handshakes and
thank you's were exchanged, while the question
of time vs. tension still hung thick in the air. No
one could answer it.

Schofield wins presidency

i
K
John Schofield, university
party candidate for SGA
president, edged out his
opponent Steven Owens, to win
the office of SGA President
here Monday night.
In one of the most widely
and intensive publicized
elections on campus in recent
years, Schofield defeated
Owens by a vote of 1,070 to
1,305. The turnout of voters far
exceeded that of recent years.
The race for president was
never close as Schofield led
Owens in all polls except
Aycock and Belk dorms.
University party candidates,
racking up three of the SGA
offices, failed to win the office
of vice-president.
SP Wins V.P.
Student party nominee for
vice-president, Bob Whitley,
defeated UP candidate Brian
Van Dercook in all polls except
three women's dorms and the
university union. Votes were
1,828 to 1,548.
In other offices, Gary
Gasperini won the office of
treasurer by a slim margin over
Steve Sharpe (SP). Women
student votes kept Gasperini in
the race and won the office for
him as he carried all the
women's dorms except for
Fleming, which he lost by one
vote. Sharpe carried Aycock,
Belk, Jones and Scott dorms.
The closest of the election
offices, treasurer votes were
1,738 to 1,621.
Largest Margin
Carolyn Breedlove (UP)
overwhelmingly defeated Peggy
Sledd (SP) to gain the SGA
office of secretary. Carrying
only Fletcher Dorm, Miss Sledd
was defeated by a vote of 2,138
to 1,243.
With neither candidate for
historian gaining a clear-cut
majority of the student votes, a
run-off election will be held
Monday between Sip Beamon
(SP) and Marion Barick (Ind.).
The only office in which an
independent candidate filed to
run, the historian position was a
three-way race between Sip
Beamon (SP), Chris Smith (UP),
and Marion B3rick(l).
Votes were 1,353 for Miss
Beamon, 993 for Miss Barick
and 984 for Miss Smith.
Others
Candidates elected to
positions on the Women's
Judiciary were Gwen Bullock
and Linda Hopkins, seniors;
Joanne Brinton and Terry

Large Turnouts
Election turnout was above

Monday. More than 3,300
students voted in the final
count.
Outgoing SGA Presidetn
David Lloyd praised Dan
Sumners, election charman for
his efforts in publicizing the
election.
"I can't commend him
enough for his efforts Lloyd
said. "He has really worked
hard and diligently
In an effort to curb student
apathy and urge more students
to vote, Sumners conducted an
all-out campaign in publicizing
the election.
Letters were sent to each
faculty member asking them to
read the letters to their classes
both Friday and Monday. An
election official Monday was
constantly stationed on campus
with a megaphone urging
students to vote.

Newman Club makesbid
for 'racial bandwagon'
To be or not to be' ?
The Newman Club called for
an immediate end to racial
injustice on the ECU campus in
a statement issued this week.
A petition urging college
administrators to act quickly
"to eliminate any conditions
that cause discrimination" was
signed by 63 club members
before Sunday's campus mass.
"AS members of this
University we feel it is both our
privilege and obligation to be
concerned about the successes
and problems of our
University Paul King,
Newman Club president said.
Praise Orderliness
The Catholic organization's
president further said that the
club "is not only aware of the
racial tension on our campus
now but we want some positive
action taken and taken qwckly.
"We feel that the black
students are to be praised for
the orderly manner by which
they presented their demands
through proper channels to the
administration he said.
King spoke for the club in
saying that the
'administration's time to take
positive action is running out
and cited the riots of Watts and
Newark as examples of
incidents touched off by small
incidents.
3ould hurt University
"We find it not too difficult
to conceive of how a small
incident here on campus
combined with the mob
psychology and the irrational
action of both white and black
students could really hurt our
University King continued.
Modified Agreement
The Newman Club statement
further declaredWe emphasize
that by our stand we are not
agreeing with all the actions and
demands of the black students
as we could not even agree with
alt the actions and wishes of our
white students.
"Rather, we emphasize Mat
if the racial injustice exists and
that if we are to call ECU a true
University, that this injustice
must be eliminated
immediately
The petition signed by 63
club members read as follows:
"In light of the current
demands made by the black
students of our University we,
the undersigned students and
faculty, wish to make it public
that we are very much
concerned about the dignity of
the individual being, no matter
what color his skin is.
"We acknowledge that the
black American has been
treated unfairly in the past and
is, in some ways, discriminated
against today. We are proud of
the significant contributions
black men have made to our
America.
"We urge the administration
of our school to carefully
evaluate the current situation
and above all act quickly to
eliminate any conditions that
cause discrimination against our
black students and to start any
programs that would enhance
the dignity of our black
students to a level of respect
that all Americans owe one
another

Students todetermine
fate of 'Dixie9
Monday
By Donna Dixon
Staff Photo by TECO ECHO
Student popular vote in a
campus-wide referendum
Monday will decide whether the
playing of Dixie by university
sponsored organizations will be
banned in the future.
SGA President David Lloyd
called for the referendum this
week after he was presented a
petition for the referendum
signed by 1,818 ECU students.
One student signed the petition
in blood.
The question of banning the
southern traditional song
initiated on the campus when
the university administration
was presented a list of several
demands by black students
March 3. One of the 10
demands asked to "ban Dixie
immediately
Students will be given the
opportunity in the referendum
to vote either yes or no to the
importance of our students to
question "Should Dixie be
banned at all public functions
played by university sponsored
organizations?"
University sponsored
organizations include the
Marching Band, all spirit bands,
glee clubs, choral groups and
campus cheerleaders.
Should the majority of
students rule the song be
banned, the referendum will
not rule out individuals or
self-sponsored groups on
campus from playing or singing
Dixie.
Lloyd emphasized the
importance of every student on
campus voicing his opinion in
the issue. He also encouraged
each student "to voice his
conviction no matter what it
is
"I cannot stress enough the
weigh the issue, to make
judgment and then to vote in
the referendum according to
their personal convictions
Lloyd stated.
Past elections have proven
that only approximately 30 per
cent of the student body will
express their concern enough to
vote in campus issues and
elections.
"Each full-time student on
our campus pays $87 per year
for a student activity fee, part
of which is used to sponsor the
ECU band, choral groups and
the cheerleaders Lloyd
explained. "This decision
directly concerns both the
students and these groups
The referendum is the first
of its type on campus in nearly
three years in which the student
popular vote will decide a major
issue.

'Summertree'�displays the life of a family
A youthful, lyrical play about a young man's affections,
resentments and regrets in his coming-to-terms with his
family and society opened last night at 8:15 p.m. in
McGinnis Auditorium for a four-performance run. It is the
East Carolina Playhouse production of "Summertree a
play which aroused such praise as "beautiful, sensitive?
immeasurably moving" from critic Cive Barnes of the New
York Times when it achieved a notable New York success
in the spring of 1968.
"Summertree" is a young man's play about youth and
life and love and death, written by a youth named Ron
Cowen at the age of 21. Educated at U.C.L.A he was still
doing graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania
when his play was produced as part of the Forum Series by
the Repertory Theatre of Lincoln Center in New York.

Revealing in poignancy and complexity of his generation
as it faces a society in transition, Cowen avoided drawing a
conventional "generation-conflict" play. His hero is no
rebel, no "protestchanter, but a sensitive young man torn
between the demands of a well-meaning,
establishment-oriented fether who wants him to embrace
middle-class values of prudence and success, and his own
desire for the hazards of a career as a concert pianist a
young man destined to a bitter fate as a result of the
conflict.
"Summertree" is a "memory play" a series of
reveries swinging between past and present, as the young
man tries to piece his life together at the moment of
meeting his fate under a tree in Vietnam, a tree that blends
in his murmuring memories with the great spreading tree in
his parents' backyard that was the focal point of his
childhood and young manhood.
The story of "Summertree says Zara Shakow (ECU's
director in residence) "is a very contemporary retelling of
the universal problems of father and sons in appreciating
each other's points of view. "I think the play is going w be
effective for audiences in Greenville because each of these
positions, the father's and the son's, reflects the way it is in
so many American families nowadays. I think people will
be touched by the waste of love and life that result from
unyielding positions.
"Summertree" is a tremendously moving piece - moving
because its tragedy could have been avoided. There are
ways out. If only people would concede a little

You'll never get anywhere without it.
Nothing helps a young engineer's
career like being given a challenge.
Which is another way of saying a chance
to fail now and then. To make his own
mistakes.
At Western Electric we give our newly
recruited engineers responsibility almost

cisions. Learn from their own errors.

Counseling service offers
aid to students
"Motivation is the most
important ingredient to success
jn college according to Dr.
George Weigand, director of
Guidance and Counseling.
Weigand stated that high
school grades, College Board
scores, and IQ tests can only tell
us who should be in the top
percentage of a class; they
cannot decide who will reach the
top.
Aid in Guidance
The counseling service's
function is to aid the student in
choosing a course of study. The
lack of a desire to succeed is,
according to Weigand, an
indication that the student is
possibly unsuited for the
curriculum he is presently
pursuing.
The purpose of the
counseling service is to aid the
student in choosing a career and,
once a choice is made, to help
the student in pursuing his
choice.
Advising the student in
choosing a career is one service
performed by the office; another

Another service provided by
the center is helping the student

study and learn effectively is the
problem most often encountered
by incoming freshman Dr.
Weigand said. To counter this,
the center offers a study course
every quarter which presents the
student with the techniques of
better study.
A graduate of the University
of Maryland, Dr. Weigand has
been at ECU since 1963, and has
seen the Center grow from two
counselors to the present four.
Dr. lone Ryan, Dr. H.D.

number is sufficient Dr.
Weigand said, "and barring any

approach to problems is
preferred by the Center which
likes to measure its success by
the gratification of the student,
and not by the scientific
measurement of the controlled

The Center also places
priority on emergency cases. A

Interest is the only qualification an ECU student
must have to participate in intramural sports. The
whole program is designed for and run by students
who want something to do in their spare time.
The five objectives of the program indicate this
orientation toward the students. They are: to
develop physical fitness, group spirit, and perhaps
even a permanent interest in sports provide time
for recreation and social contact.
For just one example, the student officials in the
intramural games are in effect trained as athletic
directors, and they can even end up with jobs in
this field.
According to supervisors Jack Boone and
Carolyn James, student participation has been very
good this year. The number of participants has
increased since last year which, among other
things, indicates a growing interest.
"We are not after publicity Boone says, and so
far they have received very little. This is perhaps
one reason why many students know so little
about the program.
Boone seems to feel that simply through better
communication to "The East Carolinian" and
perhaps the "Buccaneer the program could be
aided immensely.
League Organization
The intramurals are organized into dormitory,
sorority, fraternity, and independent leagues.
There are sports chairmen for each sport and
student directors for each organization.
These people are elected by the students to serve
one year. Their whole purpose is to keep the games
running smoothly, to design schedules and see that
they are followed, and to officiate in the games.
They also have a Publicity Chairman who is
responsible for submitting news and helping in
elections.
Sororities and fraternities probably have the best
rate of particiapation simply because they are more
highly organized than the dormitory or day
student programs. They have their own athletic
directors who are responsible for informing and
organizing the brothers and sisters about the
games.
Here is where the communications problem once
more enters. Each fraternity and sorority has one
representative, while each dormitory has two
representatives.
These people are required to attend all the
meetings, but because of size, the dorms often have
difficulty in keeping the students informed. It has
been suggested that a list of dorm representatives
be posted in a prominent place so that all
interested students may know whom to contact for
information.
Intramural Benefits
Team sports is the main thing, but students are
encouraged to use the gyms and facilities for their
own enjoyment during certain hours. Except for a
lack of equipment, the teams could double in size.
For example, the boys' softball program is geared
to the present facilities. The games are played in
the parking lot at Minges.
In its broadest sense, the aim of the Intramural
Sports Program is to allow every student the
opportunity to engage in the various sports any
time he desires and is able to do so. Miss James and
Coach Boone seem to feel that this goal has been,
and is continuing to be met.
Interest, in every aspect if of vital importance in
helping the program benefit the students. As N.M.
Jorgenson, Chairman of the Department of Health
and Physical Education states in the Intramurals
Handbook: "The counting pace and tension of
present day society creates a tremendous need for
relaxation and stimulation through participation in
physical activities. The Intramural Program at East
Carolina University offers a means of providing
these benefits

paige Davis' boyhood
football idol had a lot to do
with his track career and the
fortunes of the East Carolina
University track team.
Davis, who played football
and basketball during the fall
an( winter for Washington,
N c High School, played tennis
during the spring until his
boyhood football idol returned
t0 Washington and began
coaching the track squad.
"He (Bartow Houston, now
WITN TV's Sports Director)
asked me to come out for the
squad and I am glad I did he
said. "I had always enjoyed
running but I didn't start until
my junior year in high school
Following a high school
career where he ran the 440 and
the 880 and mile relays, Davis
talked to Coach Baxter
Berryhill, the East Carolina
track coach, and came to East
Carolina.
"I always wanted to come
here he said. "My brother
came here and when Coach
Berryhill offered me a little aid
there was no holding me back
Davis, now a 21 year old
junior recreation major, ran on
LEA
a freshmen team composed of
six other boys including
himself. "There were six
runners and one field man he
recalls. "Ken Voss and I are the
only two left, now
That year he ran the 220,
440, and the 880, and mile
relays and broad jumped. "The
highlight of the season was
when we beat Virginia Tech's
freshmen 76 75 he smiled.
Davis feels his biggest
improvement came between his
freshman and sophomore years.
"I felt stronger and my speed
had increased he said. "I was
keeping up with boys who were
faster than me the year before.
The difference was that I had
lifted weights all summer and
worked to lengthen my stride
Following a fine indoor
season this year, Davis is
looking forward to the opening
of the outdoor season. "I would
like to run under 48 seconds in
the quarter mile and between
21.3 and 21.5 in the 220 yard
dash he said.
Davis set a conference record

PAIGE DAVIS an ECU
winner ol Indoor Track
record by one and a half
seconds. The same day he ran a
49.5 leg in the mile relay.
I would rather run
outdoors but I have done better
indoors he admits. "Running
indoors is different running but
once you get used to the track
you can't tell much difference
Davis would like to continue
running after graduation and
hopes to run while he is in the
service. "If I am around an
amatuer track club I would like
to run with them he said. "I

East Carolina's baseball
Pirates, off to a slow start, try
to even their season record here
this weekend with a two-game
series against Dartmouth.
The Bucs, who suffered
through a three-game losing
streak last week, pulled their
season record to 2-4 with a
victory over the University of
Virginia Sunday afternoon.
As might be expected from
the won-lost record, the hitting
and pitching departments show
few bright spots.
The leading batter is Sonny
Robinson, who also owns one
of the two pitching victories.
Robinson has been in two
games, but has only one official
trip to the plate. He got a single
and scored and run.
Of the regulars, Len Dowd
has the best record with two
hits in four trips. He has
appeared in five games. Ken
Graver, who has also been in
five games, has five hits in 15
official trips for a .333 average.
Centerfielder Stu Garrett,
who has 24 official trips, is
batting .292 with seven singles
to his credit.
The Pirates next face
Dartmouth College on Friday
and Saturday afternoons, with
game time set for 3 p.m. and 2
p.m. respectively. On the
following Monday, Atlantic
Christian College pays ECU a
visit, followed by Cornell with a
doubleheader on Wednesday
and a single game on Thursday.

The East Carolinian
Condolences to Schofield
for newly-won burden
"The East Carolinian" would like to convey its
sympathy to newly elected Student Government
Association President John Schofield. The word
sympathy is substituted here for the usual
congratulatory words as we feel that the position
of SGA president is far from enviable.
The office of the president will be riddled with
many problems during the next year. Never before
has there been so desperate a need for a strong
president backed by equally strong student
support.
The new president was elected on a mandate of
increased student participation in university affairs.
So have all the other student presidents in recent
times.
So, all we have now are promises and plans. Far
too many SGA presidents have carried their plans
no further than their election. They have said that
with student support nothing at this university is
impossible. As their term in office wore on and
their promises had not been fulfilled, so many of
these weak presidents pointed their finger at "an
apathetic student body" and placed all the blame
of an unsuccessful administration on them.
There have been a rare few that have continued
to fight on to realize the promises that they have
made. It is our opinion that David Lloyd was such
a president.
Lloyd's administration was not without its
shortcomings but by and large, his platform has
come closer to being carried out than those of past
presidents.
Thus, Schofield has inherited a tradition of good
government. We feel that he is qualified to carry on
this tradition.
We support, and we urge all stuaents to support
John Schofield during his term as president of the
SGA.
Test stealing now common
Test-stealing is becoming a common occurrence
on the ECU campus.
The Honor Council has dealt severely with cases
involving test-stealing. Is stealing a test worth
being removed from school?
But that is not the major point. College is the
time for an education. Why should some students
spend hours and weeks studying for a test while
others take only a few moments to memorize test
answers the night before an examination and ruin
the class curve? Those who buy tests are equally to
blame.
Cheating one's way through college not only
harms other students but the cheater himself. A
few weeks on the first job will prove this to be
correct. Even before that first job, getting caught
in the quiet of the night or hustle of the day in a
teacher's office will not glitter on a permanent
record card or transcript.
Until these test-stealers are apprehended it is
advisable for teachers to remove tests from their
offices, campus policemen to keep a closer watch
on classroom buildings, and possibly locks to be
changed on faculty office doors.
To those of you with keys and the gall to stoop
to test stealing, do not count on anything.

ecu forum
To Mr. Ray Lanfear
In reply to you "appropriate
comment" concerning recent
demands submitted by the
black students of ECU, I feel
that following the rally by
SOULS on March 19, after your
letter had already gone to press,
a backward look at the validity
of some of you "comments"
should be forthcoming.
You speak of recent campus
disruptions and general racial
sentiment of eastern North
Carolina, yet members of
SOULS have repeatedly stated
that they are independent in
their demands and have not
been influenced by any of these
factors. Doe not this give you a
cue that if in fact the demands
are independent, and to quote
Owens in the March 14 Forum,
"longstanding grievances
there is some underlying
principle that has not been
brought to light?
You .suggest that a person's
evaluatioaf these demands be
preceded by an earnest attempt
to become acquainted with
some of our SOUL brothers and
sisters. Does the fact that you
have worked on several projects
with SOULS during the past
year constitute criterion for
'accurately describing" its
members? Have you made any
attempt at insight into such
personality determinants as
physical and social
environments psyciological
structure, "wants and goals
and past experiences of
members of this group? You
use the term "SOULS" and
'black students
interchangeably. Not all black
students are members of
SOULS; not all SOULS are
black in essence.
Consider the mulattos in
SOULS. Does it not seem
reasonable to expect that such a
person might fight out blindly
at tlu race which was
responsible for imposing such a
social inconvenience on him,
especially after some were
alleged to have been exposed as
"passing" last year? What of the
wants and goals? I question a
group who is willing to wreck
our educational institution for a
few superficial grievances.
There is nor space here to go
into all the psychological
implications or the effects of
subculture which has been
superimposed on the blacks. I
agree that racial discrimination
does exist at ECU. Therefore,
there are wrongs that need to
be set right, and many
complaints are legitimate, but I
disagree with the tactics being
used to secure the ends which
the SOULS seek, even stripped
of elaborations. No person or
group of persons has the right
through racial separatism to
coerce anyone.
So, Mr. Lanfear, I suggest
that you really get to know the
SOULS. It might surprise you
to know the real reason for
these grievances and just how
longstanding they are. When
you get to know the reasons
behind much of this behavior,
your evaluation may become
just as vague and unrealistic as
the demands themselves.
Student's name witheld
Scene of Violence
Dear Editor,
Will our campus become the
scene of racial violence? Will we
allow less than one hundred
students to demand and receive
issues affecting over ten
thousand? Are these demands
really essential, or will we be
the victims of a group trying to
receive state and national
attention? Are we as white
students doing our part to ease
majority vs. mi nority
relationships?
During the past week these
questions have followed me as
shadows of a possible eyesore in
the image of ECU. Personal
evaluations show that as a
majority and as Southerners
brought up under a strict white
racist environment we tend to
put down the Negro race. I have
tried to respect individuals, as
such, regardless of color. It is
easy and relationships are
recognizably better.
One must realize, however,
that the social code under
which we live has been molded
over three hundred years. To
remove this code in thirty or
fifty years or even one hundred
is impossible. A Negro youth of
today cannot point a finger at a
white youth and say, "look
what you've done to my race
What is here existed before
this generation was ever
conceived. This generation
could be the one to remove this
social structure of separation,
but can we do it? Can a white
youth try to help a Negro if the
Negro threatens his life or
property? Can I extend a hand
of friendship if the hand that I
am to receive is masked by a
glove of armed rebellion? I can
and will try to open a
communication line so that I
and my children may live in a
world where people are
respected for theii
individuality.
Yes, my "brothers nc
matter your color, we can live
together as a united people. Out
differences must be settled face
to face over a table of
understanding and not on the
streets and fields of a country
that we have both worked and
strived to create. We can do it
with patience, understanding of
each other's problems and the
realization that no men are
created equal, but the
"unequalling" factor is not
color.
Ray Brown
Only a Reputation
Dear Editor:
I leave tomorrow for
Vietnam, so errors in this letter
can't be corrected. I left his
campus in October of '68 for
personal reasons, and when my
tour of duty in the Army ,s
over, I will be back on some
campus if not this one.
Before I left and since I have
been gone the good, quiet,
"learning" atmosphere on this
campus that I found here four
years ago has been completely
disrupted. We had a center of
education. If the turmoil
brewing keeps going ahead, we
will have only a reputation. I
offer no answers, only a plea.
Let us be students. If that
sounds apathetic to some, then
I ask them to try it.
Respectfully,
PFC Frederic W. Whitehurst
Race Relations Committee?
Fellow Students:
Last year in a letter to this
paper, I was asking all students
to carefully considei the
problems in establishing good
race relations and to attempt to
understand their own motives
in dealing with the issue.
Also at that time, Charles
Davis was asking for assistance
from the SGA and the
administration. A race relations
committee was formed.
What happened ?
When did the action begin?
To the black students If
your ten demands for reform
are fulfilled in the near future,
will you be satisfied th.it there
will no longer be racial
discrimination on our campus?
Are you not naively asking for
rules to instantly ban a way of
thinking (poor though it may
be) which has developed over
many years?
To the white students: How
are you going to respond to the
black students' demands? Will
you react wholly on an
emotional basis and refute to
recognize the problems these
people face? Will you encomage
granting the demands as an easy
way out with less time and
effort involved?
