acquiring professional skills.
Despite these objections, Harvard University announced In
January, 1969, that II would create an Afro-American Studies
Department. Quickly, a variety
of Black Studies programs
popped up on the national academic   landscape.
But for all of their theoretical
elaborateness, many of the Black
Studies programs turned out to

Impact probably will not be fully
known In the near future. California educators generally agree
that Black Studies tn that state
has achieved an "uneasy accommodation with-the academic establishment." Sociologist Nathan
Hare sees typical programs as
Irrelevant and accuses whites of
"dusting off" other courses and
calling them Black Studies. And
David Llorens, former director
of Black Studies at the University of Washington where he still

instead of expanding. Black
Studies programs have been re- .

cordlnc to Dr. Ellas Blake who
recently completed a study of
the field lor ihe U.S. Office of

Despite the many problems still
facing Black Studies, they have
gained enough acceptance at
least to continue for thn time
being at most major institutions.
But the future will probably see
fewer but better departments
staffed with many more qualified
scholars who In turn can systematically weed out students who
are not really serious about
Black Studies.
Meanwhile, the resurrection
that has been underway in the
field has gotten more black students Into college in three years
"than integration has In three
decade's," according to Nathan
Hare. And Dr. Geneva Gay, herself as Innovative as the Black
Studies she teaches at the University of Texas, concludes:
"Many black students on campus
are going through a transformation or growth process In dealing
with the question of what lt means

for a Fresno law Arm.

why Ihe committee Is urging unconditional - and not ■conditional" — amnesty.
War resistor David Harris
voiced a similar sentiment a
few Weeks ago during an appearance at CSUF, and Conroy said
the origin of the group can be
traced partly to Harris' speech.
Conroy said the group alao was

California's new divorce laws —

For divorced women with children, LaRue aald, child support
payments do little' to ease the
financial burden.
