2 The Daily Collegian News Class in black media staffs 'Uhum' Students of the Black Journalism Workshop Tuesday planned how to re¬ vitalize Uhuru, the black campus bi¬ monthly and near dormant stepchild of the stormy sixties. Guest speaker Pauline Kimber suggested the class adopt an upbeat EBONY-style activism for the paper. "A black publication should be positive and have integrity instead of just agitate, agitate, agitate," said Kimber, editor of the West Fresno California Advocate. It should, however, never shrink from asserting black interests, she told the dozen or so students. Dr. James Rogers said he is "excited about the excellent support we're getting from the CSUF Associated Students and The Daily Collegian." Rogers, who teaches the course, hopes to produce Uhuru "on a consistent basis"for the first time in years. Raymond Odunlami, the Uhuru editor, said he looks forward to "working hand- in-hand with the workshop," to achieve "We intend to bring distinguished journalists to the class"as guest speakers, said Rogers. In addition to Kimber, the list includes Fresno Bee reporter Shirley Armbruster and Tony Brown, executive producer of the PBS black news show, Tony Brown's Journal (Brown will receive the fourth annual Distinguished Achieve¬ ment Rosa Parks Award in March, according to Rogers). These guests are part of Roger's objective to interest black students in media careers, the instructor explained. "Less than one half of one percent of professional journalists in TV and on major papers are black," he added. A step toward remedying this problem is training and ethnic pride on the campus level. Class assignments geared to "improve and enhance basic writing and commun¬ icative skills" may appear as stories in Uhuru, Rogers indicated. "The course is absolutely not limited to black students," he added. "We invite whites, Chicanos and members of all ethnic groups." As long as black students continue to show enthusiasm, Uhuru's prognosis is good. "I want to be a voice for my people," said Karen Wynn,' CSUF senior and journalism major. "I will attempt to speak out [in Uhuru] on every issue, acknowl¬ edging pros and cons." Similarly, Anita Grisby, a sophomore in speech communications, wishes to foster "black awareness" through the paper. "Black students at CSUF deserve to be able to relate their experiences and find out about items of importance to them," said Tracey Bernard, a junior in psychology. "1 hope to help raise every student's consciousness of minority issues." Eva Boyd, a child development major graduating this year, said she wants "to write on issues regarding abortion, day care and child abuse." She also listed "humor" as an important ingredient. Rogers received a master's in fine arts and a doctorate in American culture from the University of Missouri "in order to be able to teach a number of subjects," he said. His main interest is writing, however; and litHas worked for The Portland Observer and Minnesota Twin Cities Uhuru was started in 1969, said Odunlami, "because black students felt the existing campus publication was not meeting their needs." Since those days of activism, "students have lacked the free time and commitment to publish more than two or three issues per year" despite the Associated Student's willingness to annually fund eight editions. He hopes the temporary workshop^cataloged as Black Studies 130T, will by precedent keep the paper from ever being understaffed again. Scholarship Continued from Page 1. "onslaught" of applications in the next couple of days will bring the total to about 1500-1600. There will be 600 scholarships awarded when the final selection is made. Heuston said there is a developmental office on campus that works on new scho¬ larship sponsors, it is hard for his office to contribute much to the cause. He said recently more government res¬ trictions and an increase in the number of applicants has made the job of the finan¬ cial aids Office harder. "We get so bogged down with work, we have no time other than to say 'thank you' for the scholarships we get. Our employees put in more overtime than any other office on the university," Heuston said. Heuston said he is seeing a situation recently where there is less money availa¬ ble for aid, and the money there is buying less, while more students are applying for financial aid.

But there's another side to selenium. In fact, a lack of this element in the diet of humans and animals has been found to cause health problems. . Selenium is not a common element in the earth's crust, but it is likely to be found in certain types of sedimentary rocks, especially shales. Because it is also found in conjuction with phosphates, a key constituent of fertilizers, selenium is likely io accumulate in farm soil. The contamination at Kesterson has built up over the year as a result of the influx of drainage water from 8,000 acres of west Fresno County farm land. Abnormally high levels of the potential toxin have been linked to disease in resident birds. and hair. Similar studies involving chickens, ducks, quail, swine and salmon have concluded the theory of the importance of selenium in the diet of many-vertebrates. Experiments have been conducted to determine how a lack of selenium in the diet can affect human health. This is what is known so fan — Selenium does not seem to affect cancer. While the element seemed to reduce tumors in rats, tbe same has not been BLOOM COUNTY Three CSUF faculty members are planning a symposium in June to discuss how to remove excess selenium from drainage waters to prevent future buildups like tile one at Kesterson. One of the alternatives available involves the fact t'.i'at the element is nutritionally important to animals and humans. Algae are natural absorbers of selenium. In this manner, the element becomes part of the food chain and large buildups of selenium from natural processes are prevented. It is theoretically possible to take advantage of this and use the organisms to remove selenium from drainage water. The algae, in turn, could be fed to animals suffering from a diet deficient in A recent ad floating around CSUF selenium. reads : "Reserved University Parking."
