These black-pride logos, created during the The Black Power Movement and Civil Rights struggle, turn a frail gray when it comes to black male and female relation¬ ships. In a two and a half hour forum sponsored by the African Student Union on Wednes¬ day, November 18, a panel of black stu¬ dents and faculty shed light on the gray areas of black female and male relation¬ ships. The forum began with a riveting film of the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings to provide a framework in initiating dia¬ logue. Panel topics, provided by the African Student Union, included the myths and misconceptions about black men and women, cross-cultural relationships, fe¬ male-headed households, and tbe black man as the endangered species. Why can't we get along? Panelist Richard Ford, Dean of School of Health and Social Work, said, "Oppres¬ sion and Control have been the standard modalities of this country. This started before slavery, continued through that pe¬ riod and you see these factors today."

However, he saw the floundering company's potential and purchased the corn- pan^ from its owner 10 years later. He expanded tbe contjpany until it became a world recognized supplier of equipment to the agriculural industry.
