LSAT. which is given five times a year, waa amont tbe many topics discussed at a conference of Pre-Law Advtaers Svenson attended last month In Berkeley. Svenson saya the tests are testa of 'developed abilities.* The tests require students to perform better than average In reading, writing, reading charts, ind diatlngulshlng graphs. "A person who does well will have a good chance of succeeding In law school,* said Svenson. Svenson said if a student has a 4.0 grade point average (GPA), he can still do poorly on LSAT. Between the two, LSAT and the GPA, LSAT results are more valuable for predicting success. In some Instances, LSAT requirements have been relaxed, particularly for minority students. According to Svenson, the Law School at the University of Washington, earlier this year, "set different entrance requirements for minority students.* As a result, the school was crimination charge, hut the Washington State Supreme Court upheld the university. The case has been appealed, and according to Svenson, the Supreme Court will reveiw the "Law schools are doing anything they can to help these (minority) students,* said Svenson.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN j California State University, Fresno ' FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1974 LXXVIII/65 UHUR U Black awareness from death of the American 'negro' i for the past five years is dealing with f Black history. To this present date Blacks throughout the country still lack the realization of themselves, as well as being part of a true Black When the term *negro" approached the Black race-In this country there was little or noth-. Ing left for him to deal with'. When studying Black history, a definite awareness should be made to the point where there's a clear non- debatable understanding aa to the difference between Black and "negro.* The basic difference lies in the fact that there lan't any Identity with anything when you're dealing with "negroes." There is no land or language lime the term ever caught on waa after the Black man waa brought over to America. Before that, the "negro* didn't eaiat. In other words, the negro is an invention designed by the people who run this country. The negro waa Invented to keep the true genius of Black people hidden; Negroes don't know who they were, who they are, and have no direction as to who they will be-, come. The truth is that a negro will be a negro simply because negroes are dead people. However, Black people would come to the realization that Black people once had language, land and pride. Black people must begin to look back Into that past and come out with a strong realization of themselves. Negroes are dead for the elm- pie reason that they lack the lack the consciousness of themselves. Awareness U what you obaerve and consciousness Is what you know arid feel. Negroes lack this feeling In themselves simply because they MESSAGE TO BLACK PARENTS To really love is to love thy children in deeds Black parents please take the ime to go to the schools where our children and other Black •Ulldren attend. Offer some- as- plstance'. Visit and help to make he children feel that they are >art of the school system. Get amission to put on cultural acuities that will include thechll- iren. We don't want our children o feel inferior 'and become hos- lle. if children are happy and mow that they are loved, they ran learn. Don't be lazy, or cow- irds, by sending your children to i school that you won't even visit >r become Involved. Don't be one if those parents who never visit i school until something unpleas- mt happens, and go there making i lot of statements that end-up mrting the child. and gat involved. Get to know the people with whom your children spend five days a weetfor nine months out of the year. Why do you expect so much more from the school than the child can expect from you? It makes a child feel good when be or she sees his parent Involved with his school. Get away from your television stories and' spend some time with your chll- ' dren at school. If they are In High School or College, go by and visit with them and take them out for lunch. It will mean a lot to them. Children want their parents' love more than all of the material things that you can give them. They ahould be Just as dear to you as they were when you first clasped their little handa to your br.east with that feeling of security. They need that feeling of security. They are faced with rejection, humiliation, hate, distrust. Indifference, degradation,' deceit, Intolerance and envy, (prejudice)^ dally. Therefore constructive Interest from you (taking an active part in their school; taking them out sometime) can give them the strength, courage, incentive and motivation to reach their highest academic Years ago, back In the South, Black parents prayed for the time to-come when their children could go to school longer than four and five months a year. They took a great Interest in their schools and churches. They would visit their children's classrooms and see how and what their children were doing. The Black mln- - Isters were more Interested in the families than money. Even though prayer has been taken out of the schools, it Is up to you to keep prayer In the home. Your love, prayers and Interest In him gives your child the strength to sustain hla hardships. Parents, by not getting Involved In your child's school, you are helping to push him down. Please get out to the schools and get Involved. Help to give your children moral support. Give him the security of knowing problems In school is not dope and sex perversion, but parental love and prayer. If you don't have any children In school, but concerned anyway, get out and get involved. Don't be concerned about one school only, but be concerned about all schools where Black children attend. They need moral support. Mrs. Prior to the slave period in American history, tbe American negro simply did not exist. Before that time, we were Black people from Africa, we were very much aware of what was happening around us. in fact, from that awareness came civilizations that had a deep insight which In turn aided In the development of long standing empires. Africans possessed a very high level of awareness, we knew who we were, we lived In a total har- nature.

In other words, my opinion is that Eddie Kendricks WAS the After the ahow I was presented with the honor of being involved iff an interview with'Mr.. Kendricks. The Interview was car. rled out by Miss Verna Jones, editor of Ihe Uhuru, and Mr. Jeff Farmer to give you a peep at what went on in Mr.. Kendricks- dressing room.
