tion.
"Cround efforts to Improve programs
are continuously stifled by the im¬
mediate administration.*
Davis said one reason Blacks do not
come to CSUF is because "it is not
geographically accessible to the com¬
munity."'West Fresno, where a large
portion of Blacks live, is eight to nine
miles away from the campus.
Mikell said the Center for Black Af¬
fairs will try to answer those problems.
Although the center is still in the plan¬
ning stages, Mikell does not see the
goals as too far away.
"One main goal of the center is to
improve the educational opportunities
for Black students," said Mikell. As well
as recruitment, Mikell said this will be
done through career development
classes, internships and financial aid
counseling.
Mikell said he feels special counsel¬
ing is required for Blacks since pre¬
judices still, exist. He said Black stu¬
dents feel awkward about going to of¬
fices to ask questions where there are
no Black workers.
Davis agrees that this can be a prob¬
lem, especially for students receiving fi¬
nancial aid.
'Most, I'll call them middle class,
parents raise their children to go ahead
and ask questions even if they might be
afraid," said Davis. 'A lot of Blacks
just aren't raised that way."
To help this problem, Mikell said the
Center for Black Affairs will have data
banks for the professional development
of the Black faculty and staff.
'Studies have shown that there is a
tremendous amount of drop-outs among
Blacks," said Mikell. 'This may be due
to various pressures. They aren't aca¬
demic pressures necessarily."
Mikell said Black students may also
feel alienated. He said he hopes the
center can 'bridge the gap" between the
university and Black students.
"Many students feel instructors won't
listen to them," he said. Mikell said he
gets a lot of calls from instructors hav¬
ing problems with students who are
Black. The center will help "instructors
and students get together."
Mikell said the center might include
an Ethnic/Black Studies library.
"It would be another perspective,'
he said. 'Another long-range goal is a
Black heritage museum, which would in¬
clude artifacts from people in the val¬
ley. I think a number of people have
been to Africa and would have some;
thing to contribute."
Mikell" stressed that the services
would hot be limited to Blacks, and all
people could take advantage of them.
"We're also trying to bridge the gap
and bring the university and the Black
community together."
One way to do this is to bring more
Blacks from off campus to CSUF.
'You don't see Black speakers in the
Free Speech Area," said Mikell. 'We
need to include the Black community
In that. We need to get Andrew Young
or Jesse Jackson..."
Mikell encourages anyone needing
help from the Center for Black Affairs
to contact the Black Studies Office
in San Ramon 5.

then are asked to perform the routine
before a panel of judges from CSUF and
the Fresno community.
"We look for marching ability, the
ability to handle the flag," said Bibb,
one of last year's judges. "Then, quick¬
ness of mind. We need to find out if
the girl can learn the routines quickly
because they have to learn a new routine
every week. The icing on the cake is
poise. Does the girl look like she's
enjoying   being   part   of   the   squad?"
Team member Penny James said be¬
ing part of the flag squad is more fun
than work.
"To me, it's like being with your
friends," James said. "I really look for¬
ward to the marching rehearsals. They
are relaxed and everyone has such a
good attitude. It's really a lot of fun."
