cut the EOP summer program
from the $10,000 proposed by the
committee to only $5,000. The
program director said that it

This proposed budget, which

secrecy and propose to eliminate
the programs of minority
students without informing the
minorities about it, they must
expect to be harassed because
the students would be passive
fools to sit by and watch their
programs go down the drain.
Those days have passed.
