This Is the lest issue of nSHURU* for the spring semester, therefore I'd like ts ttwasx my staff, who helped mahe -UHURLT a very
imeertent and informative piece of information at Freeno Slat***
carnsajs. Also I'd late to ths*** th* Iwxndfui of racists who sought to destroy naHURir* by writing their opinions in th* regular edition o' the
pager trying aimlessly te down •UHURVT for the material thst we
arhst.
We alt hav* our views, though, so I'm not condemning anyone <or
their Sainton, I'm nasi deal ing wtth the issues. At this nwarnent I realty
don't feel Ifctgoang intodetail about the wey some students act on this
s because I believe everyone Is aware of this hasicslly unreal,
laiasehere an Shis campus. What I'm ssying is.
no esse is really dealing with reality even though a lot of people are
suffer ing because they fail to deal in reality which causes them to deal
wtth themselves. Well, let me shut up because I'm tired of preaching
SO l*t*r.
Pel**, Strength snd Victory

with me in the struggle.
Blackness
0*tw**n 1460 and last year, the rasntier of Mack youth*, on American co*lege campuses more than doutded. Presently there arc
480,000 black youths in coileoe. compared with ftmillion whites.
This increase in the numher o'Maefc youth* in coileoe 81 encouraging. Without such training, there could lie no ultimate meaningful
sharing of opportunities in society for black Americans.
But the increase ha* also iwouqht with it problems. Many of
these had been antictpsted. For instance, since- thr preparatory
training the minority youth* have recoivral is on average inferior to
that of white youth, special adjustments have haul to kg ma>B- 88 m.

many campuses.   These have met with mi*nl sucr.rss.
It we* else anticipated that on many campuses thrrr waxilil he a
sen** of cultural confusion an the nun>• .era of Macks rose. This has
proved true. Black youths often have sought special aasaawg programs, power in student politics, ami even racially ritstinrt living
euarters.

But there is another twatv of evidence thai fortunately points thr
Other way. Last week, for instance, s survey of M.OOO collrgr-tiounal
Mack students found that two-thirds vjcrrcontniiMrdtointrgralion as
bath good and necesssrv. (wily 6 per cent opposril it. Ami thr re.
msining 27 gsr cent felt neutral atiout the usefulness of intrairation.
Sams observers of thr campus scene think that Macks' srefcinu
one another out on campus stems largely from an impulse to gather
together as much strength in r*jmt*rrs as they can. It has little to <lo
with feelings about white society. Thrrr is a strong commitment to
serving the need* ot Mack brethren, for which thrrr is no parallel
among white sturtents.
Th* racer* study (conducted bv thr faationai Scholarship Service
and fund for Negro Sturtents with Office of fconon»ic t X»por tieutv
hands) bears this out. Ninety per crnt o» thr rorli-.n -Imuml Mack
youths said 'helping m\ people* was thrir primary life ot>,cctivr.
If this is so, then perhaps what we are senna m what appears to la*
separatist assembiv amonq t.lsck collegians has a more worthy motive. -.
Ultimately, of course, a sense o blackness amang stiatrnts may
be no more supportable than a sense of whiteness.' Ami there should
be no short-term dratbt that this is so.

We were all welting lor ths

them. Bet. entertain we never did.
Before we wer* In Soledad prison

reason behind this was thst one

An open letter from BSU
to the director of EOP
An opes letter tn Manuel Perez,
FOP director, from the Black
Student Union:
After heartnc the repnrt from
our Fart Finding Committee on
thetr communication with you
dwrtnc the week of May 12-14.
we>e derided that perhaps you
aren't aware of the seriousness
of lair concerns.
We hereby submit a list of our
eonrern* to yoa.
A. There aren't ss mam Blacks
In the Procram aa la desirable
to maintain a atahle relationship
between Black and Chicano FOP
student* on campus
1. Students   feel   there  aren't
enuueh Blacks on staff tn the
KOP Office
2   Them aren't enuaarh Hlark

R. We're  rnncernr-d Shout FOP

1. Job Placement
2. Information on Ct> 11 ege8 ,

3. Ilouatiic
4. Tutorial Prorragti isnt^ef-

C. We feel that the Blsck Administrative Component isn't representative of the Black student
body ss effective and steadfastly
ss Is desirable for the continuous
upgrading of the Black Studesxs
D. We feel there is a lack of
communication between the Black
students and EOP
1. We haven't been brought up
to dxte about the history of
EOP  snd Its long t*rm goals
2. W* haven't been well Informed shout the 1 durational
Opportunity Program Administration's present efforts In Improving EOP
We feel part of tl
that a Chlrano Administration
can't trulv understand Black
needs and problem a a* a Black
Administration could and a Black
Admtniatration can't understand
Chtcano needs and problems sss
Chlrano Administration could.
Neither could relate to Indian.
Oriental and white students ss
well ■ i* neressarv
The Educational Opportuntty
Procram is dtrertlv under Dr.
David Bell a* he is the Dean of
Student Affairs. We feel that
rather than have a director of
EOP snd thret- assistant direr,
tors, whv not have four sectors
of EOP such as a Black Chairman, a Chicano Chairman, an
Indian Chairman, etc
These chairmen caa form a
joint exeruttve staff which woald
join together with an equal distribution of executive power
We request a written response
to our memorandum no later than
May 23, 1972.
