_2 The Daily Collegian News Blackreducator: Whites rewrite past Dr. Anyim Palmer, founder and super¬ intendent of the Marcus Garvey School in Los Angeles, said last Thursday that white historians hast for years hidden the accomplish¬ ments of blacks in history. At Marcus Garvey, Palmer said they call anglo history "hislic," meaning "his lies." Black children are failing in white schools because they are given a history painted white and because it only teaches them to become criminals, dope addicts and welfare recipients, according to Pal¬ mer, a former public school administra- "Kids in New York. Chicago and L.A. don't know arithmetic but they know these sex songs backwards," Palmer said in a lecture at the Satellite College Union. "It's a disgrace. Our young girls are de¬ graded by this." Palmer said he became frustrated with with the public school system and left when one teached told him that black stu¬ dents did not have the intellectual capabil¬ ities for higher learning. He then formed a school that teaches black achievements and where blacks "can learn about them- He calls the school "Afro-centric," or about Africans, as opposed to most schools which "Euro-centric," or about Anglo-Saxons. Palmer said the Marcus Garvey pupils are so motivated that kindergarteners learn fifth-grade math and the third-gra¬ ders study out of college algebra texts. He said his third graders even challenged the nation a few years ago when, on a CBS broadcast, they said they could, and would, take on any other school children in the country. Their challenge was never met, he added. "We don't have the best black school in the country," Palmer said, "we have the best school, period." He explained that the school had already received commen¬ dations from the Los Angeles City Coun¬ cil and the California Assembly. He said Garvey students do so well because the teachers never consider any kids "ugly, immoral, or slow." "No one even says slow," he added. Palmer also gave a second reason for the school's success: the curriculum. Stu¬ dents learn about "the first and greatest civilization in the world." which was held by blacks. He also said the students learn about great black achievements which were stolen by whites. Palmer claims that Pythagorus, the ancient mathematician, learned his theor¬ ies from a tribe of African mystics. Heal* dismissed other contributions by whiti including Shakespeare's, and claimed th math and chemistry were first develop^ by Africans and not Greeks. Three of the world's most widesprey religions — Judaism, Islam and Christuj. ity also originated in Africa, PalmeruH He added that "the founders of the Chris, tian Church were African." Palmer alio talked about many black leaders, bot| African and Roman, who reigned over the entire civilized world. "Our ancestors were some pn markable people and this is what v, Ihe children at Marcus Garvey," Palms But learning what the Marcus Garvej School has to teach can be expensivt During a question-and-answer session. Palmer said that tuition for elemenury school is S52 a week.' Colleges reevaluate foreign investments (CPS) - media attention and mounting student protests against campus ties to segrega¬ tionist South Africa are forcing colleges nationwide to reconsider their investment policies. "Pressure from students, faculty and the public in general is starting to add up," observes Katherine Viator of the Ameri¬ can Commission on Africa (ACA). "College, traditionally, is one place where political mainstream issues come to the forefront," she notes. "Lots more schools have considered divestiture in the last few months." Facing weekly domonstrations by stu¬ dents and faculty, University of Washing¬ ton regents, for example, are considering divesting university holdings in U.S. companies doing business in South Africa. In response to student criticism of uni¬ versity investment practices. University of California regents for the first time in eight years voted to review the system's stock holdings. The student-run Harvard Law Review last month divested $113,000 in South Africa-related stock despite Harvard administrators' continued refusal to sell off similar institutional holdings. University administrators at Nebraska. Maryland and Illinois are examining their stock portfolios as well. "A student regent made a motion in January to study the divestiture issue," says Michael Lassiter, spokesman for the University of California board of regents. "They agree a study was in order." Lassiter said the study, due this summer, will examine the university's investments and the effects of divestiture on the sys¬ tem's stock portfolio. "The regents haven't indicated their feelings yet," he notes. "It's too early to speculate if they'll do anything." Meanwhile, as students and faculty demonstrate nearby. University of Wash¬ ington regents also are reviewing their school's South African-related holdings, although officials deny the demonstra¬ tions precipitated the review. "This review is newsworthy only because it came up at the same time as the demon¬ strations,"a regents'spokeswoman insists. "Wedon"t wait until students demonstrate to dp something about di "We dont ' pany has signed the Sullivan Principles," she added. But, a growing number of South Africa critics said such guidelines aren't enough. "It's all public relations stuff," argued ACA spokesman Joshua Nessen.

"We don't care much for the Sullivan Principles," agrees Major Thomas, vice president of the University of Texas- Austin's Black Student Alliance.

The phony documents allegedly were being sold for as much as $25,000 each. University officials won't identify the individual making the allegations, but confirm they are acting on information uncovered by federal drug agents.

USC Vice Provost Sylvia Manning says the former student hasn't provided any evidence to back up the claim. Further, the university's search of its xiptsr panycntirely- fabricated transcripts. But Manning says USC still is review¬ ing its student files systematically, in part because of the potential damage to the institution's reputation. "Money is just money, but the degree stands for the knowledge and skill the university is offering its students," Man¬ ning says. The school's transcript review began 'idence of grade October, tampering firs So far, adn ing on 30 students who may have been involved in grade tampering. The school has launched disciplinary proceedings against 21 students who may have paid to have their grades changed. One employee in the school's records office admitted changing five grades for $1,500 and was fired, school officials say. But Manning thinks most of the abuse has been uncovered by now, despite the widening probe.
