Realities of Black medicine
By Joseph Everett Armstrong
Uhuru Staff Writer
To all of you people out there
who think Black medicine has
something to do with black magic,
stop reading now because you are
past Ignorant, you're stupid.
Even so, let me lay a few realities on you that might unclog
that messed up hunk of tissue
you call a mind. Now, I understand that there Is no hope for
some of you, and some hope for
none of you, so I will begin In
spite of you.
In the history of this country
the Black man and woman have
played a monumental role in
medicine. By now, I hope all of
you are aware that the Black people have not been weak lambs but

desolate land with false humanitarian virtues, will not follow the
White roan blindly in the future
unless we forget how we were led
in the past. God forbid that our
eyes be cut that short!

man for many things. When White
babies were born, It was the
Black midwife who delivered
them many times. When White
folks got sick It was the Black
man who used remedies from the

But, as usual, there were many
obstacles to medical education.

order that when these funds are

a Job here, or, more likely, they
will be able to get a Job elsewhere," said Baxter. «
Baxter was contradictory as to
the exact number of positions,

said. It would be my hope that
some sort of understanding would
occur so that we might return to
the number and level that we have
had before.*
The college president was not
optimistic about the chances of
funding the FSC television station, Channel 18. The minimal
amount of funds required for
operating the station discussed by
the FSC Foundation over a month
and a half ago was $40,000, which
would provide for only three
hours of taped programs a day.
Baxter contends that for an educational station to gain the public
support it needs, the programming would have to be varied and
extensive. The cost for such an

negative at this point.'
On the subject of collective
bargaining, Baxter said It was incorrect to say that the four FSC
organizations representing the
faculty are united on subjects
other than investigation of colloc-

Block students react to predominantly White dormatories
domtnantly White?
You see Whites, smell Whites,
hear Whites, eat with Whites and
some have to sleep In the same
room with Whites . . . Hell, you
have to look In the mirror twice
to see if youhaven't turned white!
There la so much whiteness In
dorms on this campus that one
will tend to feel they are in a
white haze.
I went around and spoke to
some oftho Black students in the
dorms and asked bow It felt to be
in dorms that are all White.
(There are about 25 Blacks in the
whole dormitory system.) I also
asked them If they were able to
relate to White people and If they
thought  they would  lose their
Black awareness in the dorms.
Below are some of the re-
