Harris Sept. 19, 2015 A graduate student at the State University of New York at Buffalo hung “black only” and “white only” signs around campus this week as part of an art project, which she said was intended to provoke a searing conversation. And indeed it did. The signs shocked students and jolted the university at a time when discussions about race and race relations have been prominent in the news. The student, Ashley Powell, who is enrolled in the university’s Art Department, began posting the signs, made of cardboard and paper, shortly before noon on Wednesday, she said, hanging 17 of them in several buildings on campus, next to elevators, water fountains, benches and bathrooms. Within about an hour, university police began receiving phone calls from alarmed students, according to a student newspaper, The Spectrum. Some students called the signs traumatic and said they made them feel unsafe. �This was posted on a public bathroom at UB. Not only is this a hate crime, but it is also an act of terrorism. 2:03 PM - 16 Sep 2015 785 509 At a meeting of the Black Student Union on Wednesday night where students talked about the signs, Ms. Powell, who is black, announced that she �was responsible for them. She described her project, called “Our Compliance,” as an effort “to expose white privilege.” “Our society still actively maintains racist structures that benefit one group of people, and oppress another,” Ms. Powell said in a statement. “Forty to fifty years ago, these structures were visibly apparent and physically graspable through the existence of signs that looked exactly like the signs I put up. Today these signs may no longer exist, but the system that they once reinforced still does.” Her statement continued: “I apologize for the extreme trauma, fear and actual hurt and pain these signs brought about. I apologize if you were hurt, but I do not apologize for what I did.” Ms. Powell, a 25-year-old from Chicago, is in her second year of a two-year art program at the university. As part of a class called “Installation: Urban Space,” students were asked to create an installation near the campus arts center about time. For people who are not white, Ms. Powell said in an interview, time has, in many ways, stood still. Since the deaths of Eric Garner on Staten Island and Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., both unarmed black men who died at the hands of police, “black lives matter” has become a rallying cry, and issues of race, especially in policing, have commanded significant attention. On Friday, John DellaContrada, a spokesman for the university, released a statement in response to Ms. Powell’s project. “On a daily basis our faculty and students explore sensitive and difficult topics in an environment that values freedom of expression, and this week’s student art project is generating considerable dialogue,” Mr. DellaContrada said. “The university is encouraging our community to discuss how we �negotiate the boundaries of academic freedom in a safe and inclusive environment.” © 2015 The New York Times Company � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Gabriela Julia and Marlee Tuskes Senior News Editor And Asst. News Editor A UB graduate art student has ad mitted to hanging the 'White Only’ and "Black Only’ signs seen in Cle mens Hall Wednesday as part of a class project. Ashley Powell, a graduate fine arts student, while standing in front of a group of more than 70 students at a Black Student. Union (BSU) meet ing Wednesday evening, admitted to hanging the signs. Powell declined to be interviewed but submitted a statement to The Spectrum Thursday night. The full statement can be read on ubspec trum.com. “I apologize for the extreme trau ma, fear, and actual hurt and pain these signs brought about,” Powell said in the statement. "I apologize if you were hurt, but I do not apolo gize for what I did. Once again, this is my art practice. My work directly involves black trauma and non-white suffering. I do not believe that there can be social healing without first coming to terms with and express ing our own pain, rage, and trauma.” Powell said she might be open to an interview eventually. - A university spokesperson re leased a statement to The Spec trum Wednesday- night that the uni versity is continuing to review the matter through appropriate universi ty policies and procedures. Powell, who is black, posted the signs for a project for her Installa tion in Urban Spaces class, a 400-lev el arts class that required she make an installation in an urban area that involved time. The Spectrum reached out to the professor of the class, Warren Quig ley, but he did not respond by the time of press. Starting at around 1 P.M. Wednesday, University Po lice received 11 calls from students stating they saw ‘"White Only” and “Black Only” signs in Clemens Hall. Chief of Police Gerald Schoenle said the officers removed four signs and checked the building for any others. Many students took to social me dia to voice their opinions. Sever al students said the signs disgust ed them while others were simply shocked that this was happening on campus. Many students called the signs racist while some even called them acts of terrorism. Deidree Golbourne, a junior African Amer ican studies major, said the signs caused cultural trauma and her initial reaction was that she didn’t feel safe. Continued On Page 6 �Art student admits to hanging ‘White Only’ and ‘Black Only’ signs on campus Continued From Page 1 “If you’re walking and see the sign, the first thing you think is, 'Wow, not our uni versity,’” Golbourne said. BSU held a special open meeting for the general student body Wednesday in place of its regularly scheduled meeting. The meeting was designed to give students an opportunity to discuss the signs. Students voiced their outrage throughout the meeting. Powell, whose art class joined her in attendance at the meeting, stood up and admitted to hanging the signs. As Powell spoke, some students left the meeting crying and one slammed a door as he walked out. “I apologize for hurting people, but I won’t apologize for what I did,” Powell said to the group. Powell said she was trying to reflect her own personal experiences with racism with the art project. She said she has been called derogatory racist terms and dealt with po lice intimidation. Most students were shocked that Pow ell is black herself and hung the signs that evoked segregation and that she believed the signs were “OK” because it was art. “The first thing you do when planning something like this is seeing if it’s ethi cal or not and that was where the line was crossed,” said a student at the meeting. Eric Turman, a UB graduate, went to the BSU meeting not knowing what the topic of discussion was. “After I got a gist of what happened, no one understood the problem,” Tur man said. “Everyone attacked [Powell] for awakening us and acknowledging the fact that white people didn’t care about the signs and we are still hurt.” Chelsea Whitney, a freshman biomed ical sciences major, said she was appalled the signs would be hung in 2015. Whitney, who is white, said no matter Powell’s inten tion, there was no excuse for the signs to be put up. “Even white students were offended,” Whitney said. Some students were also upset they didn’t receive an alert from the university. “They sent out an alert about a possi ble gunman on campus so I don’t know why police couldn’t send out an alert about this,” said one student at the meeting. “We didn’t know it was an art project, it could’ve been an act of terrorism.” A UB Alert was sent out Monday after a student reported seeing a man drop what looked like a gun in the Student Union. The suspect picked up the could-be gun and exited the building with it, according to the report. No suspect matching the de scription was found. Powell confirmed she didn’t ask for per mission from UB officials before posting the signs. Before Wednesday’s meeting ended, Jef fry Taveras, a junior psychology major, had some final words. “As an artist, I respect you as an artist,” Taveras said regarding Powell. “But you should know racism isn’t art, it’s a reality and traumatizing.” BSU e-board members said the discus sion about the signs would go on for a few days. Members have taken to social media with the hashtag #WeWantAnswers, hop ing for a response from administration. email: news@ubspectrum.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The signs, which she posted outside the men’s and women’s restrooms in the building read “White Only” and “Black Only.” Powell’s poorly conceived art project, completed as part of a course on urban installation art, was calculated to evoke a specific response on UB’s suburban campus. And so it did: Students, upon encountering Jim Crow language at their school, feared for their safety, felt deeply traumatized and aired their anger on social media and recognition of the experience of through theuniversity’s Black black Americans like herself who Student Union. They also quickly suffer from “self-hate, trauma, alerted UB officials, who promised pain and an unbearable and to review the matter. deafening indignation.” Powell, who is black, got “I understand that I forced exactly what she wanted, people to feel pain that they Colin Dabkowski otherwise would not have had which was attention.

She instead chose to deploy a particularly painful instance of historic oppression as a psychological weapon against her fellow black students. She then had the temerity to characterize that assault as “an antidote that brings about healing.” In that way, quite contrary to her goal of addressing cultural pain, she exacerbated it. What’s more, the project’s glaring lack of context ensured no segue to a deeper conversation about how the overt racism of Jim Crow has morphed into more insidious and covert forms.

"I understandmy art project has exhumed our shared pain,” Powell wrote. "However, our society cannot heal or change until nonwhite people are able to confront and gain agency through ourburdens, and white people are able to confront and become accountable for their privilege. It is a delusion to believe that we can change society without first changing ourselves.” Powell’s jargon-filled display of intel ectual acrobatics may impress some, but to me it smacks of a base and uncritical desire to light a fire and damnwhoitburns. What’s more, the idea that this project has accomplished its func tion as some kind of progressive conversationstarteris laughable.The conversation that’s been started in the wake of the stunt is largely about the narcissism of its progenitor and the emotional well-being of the stunt’s black victims, While those victims recover, the deep roots of systemic oppression and institutional racism remain very much unshaken. You also could start a “conversation” by yelling “fire!" in a crowed building, or throwing a tantrum in Wegmans. The trouble is that the conversation will rarely be aboutthe topicyou purport to be "inter ogating" with your genius avant-garde strategy, but about the severe limits of your critique. Asa white, male critic, I understand I amwriting from a position of privilege. I am in no way pleading for black artists to make their work more palatable in order tosatisfy mainstream tastes. I'marguing against inflictinganotherround of psychological trauma on a community that can hardly bear any more. Powell’s aboundingattempt to justify her project contains a clear false dichotomy: That somehow the only way to face up to the violence of racein Americaor to "vent" about the daily terrorofmereexistencefor black Americans is to physically bring past traumas back to life. Though it fits the broad definition of art, Powell’s project boils down to a cruel and counterproductive act of psychological violence against the every group of people she purports to represent. None of this is to say that there aren't useful ways to funnel one’s rage about the unfathomable injustices perpetrated upon blackAmericaor the numb horror of daily existence forthishistorically community into something resembling thoughtful commentary. There certainly are, including plenty of examples rightherein Buffalo, where there continues to be a disturbing. paucity ofpracticing minority artists.

Or take StaceyRobinson’s performance as part of his studies at UB, duringwhich he stood in a corner of the Albright K nox Art Gallery in 2014 and asked methodically and passionately about the lack of black artists includedin the collection.

It came in the form of a rambling letter to the Spectrum and an audience in front of her victimes Thursday night at a meeting of the Black Student Union. According to Powell's self-aggrandizing non-apology, the project was designed to shock the university community into recognition of the experience of black Americans like herself who suffer from "self-hate, trauma, pain and an unbearable and deafening indignation." "I understand that I forced people to feel pain that they otherwise would not have had to deal with in this magnitude," Powell wrote in her screed. "But I ask, should nonwhite people not express or confront their trauma? Should we be content with not having to confront that pain?"

I'm arguing against inflicting another round of psychological trauma on a community that can hardly bear any more. email: cdabkowski@buffnews.com Black Student Union ephemera and printed material https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/5046047d1252c87ca234d64eff1637b3.pdf f60523916220183d9e75a0c764bdff0c PDF Text Text UB takes steps toward progress [Spectrum 11/20/15] Students speak on diversity and inclusion as part of community chat Thanya Theogene Staff Writer With racial tensions high on college campuses throughout the nation, some UB students and administrators gathered Wednesday night to propose solutions. Teresa Miller, vice provost of Equity and Inclusion, met with students to discuss the issue of race and diversity on campus. The “community chat” was held in the South Lake Village Community Center and students were given a chance to not only share their feelings on race on campus, but also propose solutions. “At first, I felt that UB was just trying to appease students, but after this meeting I feel it’s really genuine,” said Sonya Tareke, a junior business major. Miller is UB’s first vice provost of Eq uity and Inclusion, as she took the posi tion in 2014. Since her appointment, Mill er has been working to create a more inclu sive UB, not only on the student level, but also in faculty and staff. The community chat was a joint effort be tween Miller and Meegan Hunt, the associate director of Campus Living and Wellness Ed ucation at UB. The team began brainstorm ing ideas on how to achieve a more inclusive campus and its focus on faculty and a general education course on diversity. The meeting was held through the Resi dential Housing Association. “We wanted to be able to meet with stu dents, so we coordinated with the RHA to be able to meet with students in campus living complexes,” Hunt said. The discussion started with issues of racial tensions at universities across the country. Students, including those at the Univer sity of Missouri, have protested for further university responses to issues of racism and lack of inclusion on their campuses. The tension has left some students feeling uneasy. Some students said the tension makes them feel unsafe because it could initiate re taliation against black students. Another stu dent said that while they do not feel unsafe at UB, there is a feeling that if incidents can happen elsewhere they could happen at UB. Students also discussed Yik Yak, the so cial media forum where people post anon ymously. Students said that when Black Student Union (BSU) held its annual Black Solidarity Day, some students took to Yik Yak to use racial slurs to deprecate BSU, along with other minority students. Students said international students were also targets and victims of racial slurs. The sense of a UB community on cam pus compared to other schools is another issue students brought up. Safiyeh Kayem be, a junior political science major, spoke about her previous school and the sense of community there.

Miller also spoke at the "community chat" in South Lake Village Wednesday night to discuss race and diversity on campus. Continued From Page 1 “I went to an HBCU [historically black colleges and universities] before this and the school was built on community,” Kay embe said. “The college was small but there were two other colleges right next door, so we really had a close community.” A graduate student at the meeting said she is one of four students of color in one of her classes. The idea of having students of color mentor others did come up, but Miller was cautious about the idea. While she thinks it’s a good idea she doesn’t want to “overwhelm” students. “It’s not easy to ask someone to lift as they climb,” Miller said. A meeting at Goodyear Hall on South Campus preceded the meeting at South Lake. “One thing that I got from Goodyear was that there’s not enough contact with the faculty,” Miller said. Many students at that meeting said they’ve never been to a faculty member’s home. Mill er said UB’s large student population would make this difficult, but the idea of getting faculty to eat in dining halls with students on occasion was brought up at the meeting. However, students feel progress is being made. The Dear World event that took place on campus Tuesday was one way for students to be heard on campus. The event allowed students to write messages on themselves and be photographed. One student said a University Police of ficer took part in the event, which she said was a step in the right direction to creat ing inclusivity. Making UPD more famil iar to students was emphasized in the meet ing. Students discussed the creation of the UPD student task force, which allows stu dents to have regular discussions with UPD. Didi Okorozo, a junior biomedical science major, also felt the meeting gave students a place to speak out. UB will have a diversi ty course for the first time next fall as a part of the new general education requirements. “Diversity is a part of the college experi ence, so UB needs to have a class or semi nar about it,” she said. There will be another community chat in Governors Complex on Dec. 3. email: news@ubspectrum.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As I shared earlier, I have been meeting with a group of student leaders, including Student Associ ation President Minahil Khan and Vice President Sean Kaczmarek, Black Student Union President Mi cah Oliver, Vice President Deidree Golbourne, and Secretary Tiffa ny Vera, People of Color Council Coordinator Jessica Calderon, and members of the Caribbean Stu dent Union, African Student As sociation, and Puerto Rican Or ganization for Dignity and Equal Rights (PODER) Latinos Unidos. To date we have had three meet ings, and we hope to meet again prior to the end of the semester. We have had several positive outcomes as a result of these con versations: We have convened a students of color advisory committee to the University Police De partment that has met month ly to sustain a dialogue between campus officers and students to help ensure a safe and welcom ing campus environment for all students. Vice Provost for Equity and Inclusion Teri Miller, in her role as UB’s chief diversity of ficer, has been engaging in con tinuing conversations with stu dents in residence halls across campus and has, to date, had three meetings and dialogues with our students to ensure our UB practices and programs are characterized by the fair, inclu sive, and equitable treatment of our diverse campus popula tion. Vice Provost Miller is in the process of convening a stu dent equity and inclusion advi sory committee. Across the university, we con tinue to explore new curricu lar approaches to issues of race, ethnicity, and cultural difference as part of the new General Ed ucation program, as well as the development of new programs and lectures for next semester and beyond. And we have been having ro bust conversations regarding student art projects, operating procedures, and policy develop ment. Toward that end, I have charged the Dean of the Col lege of Arts & Sciences to as semble a Committee comprised of members of the university community to develop policy re garding the installation of stu dent art projects in university public spaces. With this charge, I have stated that it is imperative that we strike the appropriate balance between academic free dom and inclusivity. While the university committee is developing a policy, I have estab lished an interim operating proce dure for the installation of student art projects in public spaces on campus. This interim procedure will require that student art proj ects exhibited outside of the Cen ter for the Arts must be accompa nied by a notation or explanatory identifier. Consistent with current university policy, placement of art projects in common areas must be reviewed by the Environment, Health and Safety Department for physical safety and security issues. It is important to note under this policy, only physical elements and placement of an art project may be reviewed for safety and securi ty purposes. The content of stu dent art projects, which is expres sion that enjoys the protection of the, First Amendment, may not be reviewed as part of this process. Together with the collaborative efforts of our student leadership, our faculty, and university adminis tration, I believe that these conversa tions, procedures, curricular discus sions, and policies are allowing us to balance freedom of expression with the need to foster a welcoming and inclusive educational environment that is necessary for learning. I want to thank our students, once again, for your leadership and partnership in helping to create meaningful institutional change for the betterment of our university. And to all of our students, best wishes as you complete your final examinations, and warm wishes' for the happiest of holidays. Sincerely, Satish K.

Page 1 of 13 University at Buffalo The State University of New York | Reaching Others UB Reporter > Spotlight > Profiles Host > Guiding the difficult conversation PROFILE Guiding the difficult conversation By Teresa Miller, vice provost for diversity and inclusion Published December 17, 2015 This is the second in a series of essays exploring race and diversity at UB. This semester, through a series of discussions hosted by Meegan Hunt, associate director of residential life, I have met four times with students in UB’s residence halls to talk about the racial climate at the university and the student activism that has taken place in response to campus racial incidents across the nation. The 2015-16 academic year will be remembered for the sheer volume and visibility of racial incidents on college campuses, as well as the scale of student responses. The activism at the University of Missouri is considered by many Teresa Miller to be historic and courageous. About a quarter of the Mizzou football team threatened to strike due to the failure of university administrators to respond to a long series of overtly racist incidents against the university’s black students. With a potential $1million fine for forfeiting the upcoming Brigham Young game hanging in the balance, state legislators pulled the trigger and the campus chancellor and system president found themselves suddenly unemployed. The press heralded the valor of the football players — all too often exploited by the lucrative machinery of collegiate sports — in leveraging their newfound political power. Not just at Mizzou, but across the nation students are demanding that their colleges and universities address persistent and long-standing inequities. The demands range from calls for curricular reform (a call to establish a black studies program at Niagara University, elevation of an existing ethnic studies program to departmental status at Yale) to more inclusive staffing (minority and female peer counselors in freshman residence halls) to accountability measures (creating a chief diversity officer position within the ranks of senior leadership at Vanderbilt, developing cultural competence training and accountability systems at Yale), to reprisals (voting “no confidence” in the president of Ithaca College, removing the master and associate master from their positions in Silliman Residential College at Yale). Depending upon the circumstances and history of each individual campus, these types of demands may be reasonable or extreme. Often, they are meaningful steps in creating an equitable and inclusive campus culture. However, student demands that seek to limit freedom of speech and expression pose a distinct challenge for state university administrators who are charged with both operating an inclusive institution and protecting the rights of free speech and expression. For example, Yale students demanded the dismissal of a residential college lecturer after she emailed all Yale students and administrators voicing her opposition to an earlier campus-wide email from the Intercultural Affairs Committee advising students to avoid donning “culturally unaware and insensitive [Halloween] costumes” that might offend students of color and other minorities. On another occasion, students at SUNY-Plattsburgh called for the resignations of the editors of the school’s student-run newspaper after they ran a cartoon widely considered to be racially offensive on the front page. These demands have an uncomfortable quality. They arise from the experiences of students of color who are frequently confronted by highly provocative speech ranging from racial epithets like the ones hurled at students in Missouri (where black students regularly experienced being called the “n” word), to micro-aggressions like white male panelists on an Ithaca College alumni panel repeatedly referring to a black female alumna as a “savage” after she described having a “savage hunger” to succeed as an undergraduate. They can be tone deaf to the good intentions of allies, like at Cornell when a group of white students who independently organized a rally and a hashtag campaign in support of Missouri protesters were called out by students of color for not involving them in the planning. But consider the history of the black struggle for affirmative action and how it ultimately served to advance disenfranchised whites, while continuing to stigmatize blacks. These demands are deeply troubling to university faculty and administrators when they seek to redress harms to students of color through remedies that erode principles of academic freedom and free expression that are fundamental to higher education in the United States. And yet in many cases, the chorus of voices criticizing the methods employed by the protesters and the scale of their response is equally deafening. Here at UB, we have been wrestling with student unrest sparked by an art “installation” on campus involving “white only” and “black only” signs posted near bathrooms and water fountains on campus in late September. In light of the range of student protests occurring across the country, it is particularly important to point out that the demands made by UB students consistently focused not on the content of the artistic expression, but on the fact that until the graduate student artist stepped forward and claimed responsibility for the signs, the nature and intent of the signs http://www.buffalo.edu/ubreporter/spotlight/profiles-host.host.html/content/shared/univer... 12/17/2015 �Guiding the difficult conversation - UB Reporter: Need to know news and views for UB F... Page 2 of 13 were menacingly unclear. This ambiguity, in conjunction with an unrelated campus alert earlier that same day about the possible presence of a gun in the Student Union, led to confusion, anxiety, fear and unnecessary police involvement. Since then, President Tripathi has acted to ensure that this “perfect storm” is unlikely to happen again by putting into place an interim operating procedure that will be vetted by the appropriate faculty governance structures going forward. In addition, the Higher Education Program within the Graduate School of Education and the Department of Visual Studies are planning events on campus that engage students in meaningful discussions of race and artistic expression. This is the type of leadership a public research university can — and should — demonstrate. In a nation where a routine encounter with law enforcement can prove fatal (think Sandra Bland, Eric Garner and other unarmed black suspects who died in custody), students of color are evaluating their experiences on college campuses in relation to the larger context of violence against African-Americans and Latinos, and questioning persistent inequities. In the same way that the visual arts graduate student sought to bring attention to those inequities and the complicity of whites, so too did the Black Student Union and other students of color organizations. UB faculty and staff have the expertise and the life experience to guide students in discussions that illuminate the issues of race and inequality, and help them constructively and effectively address the issues, while appreciating the importance of free speech to the academy and the democratic enterprise. To return to the meetings in the UB residence halls, these conversations were open and unscripted. I listened to a range of important observations about the racial climate on our campus, as well as great suggestions about how UB can move forward. One common, recurring theme I have noticed is students recounting “cultural encounters gone wrong.” Students from a range of cultural, racial and socio-economic backgrounds describe experiences with students from dissimilar backgrounds that were awkward, difficult and in many instances negative. Hearing these stories, I responded to the group that when universities draw students from vastly different life experiences and bring them together in close living and learning contexts, they expect — naively so — that students will organically embrace the diversity represented and appreciate the incredible opportunity it presents to form new friendships and expand horizons. I call this “making the magic happen.” One problem though: Without clear consensus on the rules of engagement, these encounters are often painfully awkward, creating a space of tension and uncertainty that doesn’t promote inclusion. Students of color, and international students in particular, describe feeling marginalized by these encounters on a predominantly white, suburban campus in the United States. Yet, we seem surprised when students self segregate and choose to room, study, eat and socialize with those who look like them and share their same values. I’ve learned from these discussions that UB needs to be more intentional and deliberate about shaping cultural encounters on campus so that they are positive and promote inclusion. One promising suggestion is that the campus develop some simple practices that will be generally understood as good faith efforts to engage others from vastly different backgrounds, particularly where sensitive issues are involved. Much like when we travel abroad and notice that people are far more likely to engage with you when you make an effort to speak their language, so too might cultural encounters across difference be more successful if the initiator engages in an open manner. Adopting informal rules of cultural engagement go a long way toward creating good will and. minimizing some of the collateral damage from cultural encounters that leave students feeling marginalized and alienated. Three rules to begin the process are: Openly acknowledge difference: I am a white male from a tiny little town in upstate New York and you are an African-American woman from New York City. Inquire:I’d like to know more about you and what you think of the discussion in the dorm meeting earlier tonight about racial privilege. Validate the person as you inquire: I am asking because I am trying to broaden my thinking about this topic, not because I think you’re an expert just because you are black. I value your insights. Ricardo Azziz, a former university president, made a further important observation about these forms of cultural engagement. No matter how much they may want to, presidents and other campus leaders “cannot instantaneously change their campus culture by fiat.” He went on to explain that the culture of a campus is the product of many factors, including the institution’s history, the culture of the community that surrounds the campus and the views and perspectives of local campus employees who turn over at a much slower pace than that of students. Azziz also said that in the midst of a crisis, “campus leaders cannot suddenly create a campus culture that respects and fosters open dialogue.” In other words, without the trust that forms the context for working through difficult issues in an open and respectful manner, open dialogue is nearly impossible. So to that end, I add a fourth and fifth point: Recognize that there must be a context of trust for working through these difficult issues: I think that this might be a hard conversation, but I want to have it and trust that you do, too. Recognize that UB is committed to an open and inclusive environment. This last point is very important. UB is deeply committed to the principle of “inclusive excellence.” Inclusive excellence recognizes that the highest level of quality in research, teaching and service can only be achieved when diverse perspectives are engaged. The full engagement of diverse perspectives isn’t produced by a “check the box” approach to diversity, but by one that intentionally and meaningfully welcomes a diverse assortment of viewpoints. The SUNY system recently formally adopted the principle of inclusion as a key aspect of excellence in higher education when the board of trustees passed a resolution stating its aspiration that SUNY be the most inclusive state university system in the nation. Inclusive excellence, and the diverse faculty, staff and student perspectives that are indispensable to it, is at the core of UB’s mission. To that end, Provost Zukoski and I are planning to pilot an unprecedented, multidisciplinary course in spring 2016 entitled “12 Difficult Conversations in 12 Weeks.” Hosted by the residence halls, this class will meet in the living/learning spaces at UB and feature faculty members from a broad spectrum of academic programs. These faculty have been identified by students as being particularly effective at advancing understanding of difficult topics that take many students out of their comfort zones. http://www.buffalo.edu/ubreporter/spotlight/profiles-host.host.html/content/shared/univer... 12/17/2015 �Guiding the difficult conversation - UB Reporter: Need to know news and views for UB F... Page 3 of 13 The faculty members will choose the topics and students can sign up for individual lectures through the residence halls. The goal of the course is for students to engage in difficult conversations that are prompted, guided and directed by faculty members. The tagline for the course is “Always safe, never comfortable.” Ultimately, our goal is to model for students — and faculty members — practices that promote constructive engagement about difficult subjects. This course is only one of many ways UB is working to promote an open and inclusive environment that respects differences, values academic freedom and unflinchingly prepares our students to lead in the future.

Several members of Black Student Union (BSU) painted the bull in the pouring rain, slipping and falling into the mud on the ground on Tuesday night. They held tow els and umbrellas over the bull. One group dried the bull while another group spray paintedit. An unknown group spray-painted the bull with a message reading “Trump, Make America Great Again” on Tuesday. BSU painted over it because they felt the previ ous message threatened students’ safety and encouraged hate and division. Student Life set out specific guidelines that students must follow when painting the bull. Students can only paint on it between sunset and sunrise; only one group at a time can paint the bull and students must show respect to Buffalo and members of UB’s community. “The rules of painting on the bull say you have to respect everyone in the communi ty and I do feel like we all know the con notation towards Trump and towards ‘Make America Great Again,’” said Chynna Brown, a junior African American Studies and psy chology major. “I feel like it definitely proj ects hate and it projects division but I feel Troy Wachala, The Spectrum Members of the Black Student Union painted "Black Lives Matter" on the bull outside of the Student Union on Tuesday night. like Black Lives Matter is inclusive and it’s spotlighting one group who has never been included.” University Police Deputy Chief of Po lice Josh Sticht said Student Life placed the bull outside of the Student Union for stu dents to paint on. While other universities have things like rocks or pillars for students to paint, the bull is the canvas for UB stu dent groups, he said. All student groups are allowed to decorate on the bull, as long as they don’t paint any thing against UB’s policy on harassment or threats, according to Sticht. Brown was disappointed that Student Life didn’t want to get involved, when “Make America Great Again” was painted on the bull. When students contacted them to com plain, Student Life staff said the bull is for the students and students are the only ones who can go out and change it, Brown said. Continued On Page 5 �BSU members spray paint bull outside of Student Union Continued From Page 1 “I feel like the university should stand for what they advocate for and that’s diversity and that’s inclusion and that’s making everybody feel safe and be able to have a learning envi ronment and I feel that’s not what was dis played by them not taking a stance,” she said. Brown said she saw a Muslim woman cry ing after she saw the pro-Trump message that was previously on the bull. “When you hear Make America Great Again, you also hear ‘remember the old days. Remember how things used to be. Re member what used to happen.' The conno tation of that term is disrespectful to people of color,” Brown said. BSU Vice President Leslie Veloz said BSU decided to paint over the bull to “acknowl edge everyone’s oppressions.” “That’s just the role we take on when we signed up for BSU is to make sure we were that voice and we were those defenders for people who can’t defend themselves,” Veloz said. “We aren’t afraid to be those changing agents.” BSU President Samirra Felix didn’t want “Make America Great Again” to be the first thing students saw when they came to school. “Though we know writing ‘Make America Great Again’ is not necessarily a hate crime, there’s a lot that is behind putting that up. First and foremost there was never a point in time that I can say that America was tru ly great. A lot of people like to take slavery and categorize that as African American history. It is American history.” BSU members deliberately chose the col ors red, black and green because they rep resent kanara of Kwanzaa, a black holiday. The colors stand for the seven days and sev en principles of Kwanzaa. Brown said they purposely painted the bull in a messy fashion as a symbol. “It’s not neat, it’s not precise,” Brown said. “It’s the red dripping down into the green and the black dripping down. There’s gold beneath the letters to make the words jump out at you. This is the blood of our people. There’s a lot of symbolism with it.” Brown invites people who feel uncom fortable with the bull to attend BSU meet ings to ask themselves why they’re offended. “If you’re comfortable everywhere you go, you’re going to remain stagnant and re main dormant. If somebody makes you feel uncomfortable, you feel as if you are obli gated to make a decision. So I feel like who ever was uncomfortable seeing the bull... that was the goal,” Brown said. email: ashley.inkumsah@ubspectrum.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This act has become a nation al phenomenon started by 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who refused to stand for the na tional anthem as a way to voice the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement. We at The Spectrum commend BSU’s actions. Their silent protest was a way to start a conversation on campus about the Black Lives Mat ter movement. The group exercised their right to free speech calmly. BSU speaks for those who are too afraid to speak of act them selves. In a school of 30,000, there are bound to be others who agree with BSU’s message and can empathize with their emotions. Though it was only a small group of 15 to 20 students who were in volved, they speak for hundreds of others who are too afraid to act. Their few moments of pro test spoke volumes for those who don’t feel confident sitting during the anthem or speaking out. This isn’t the first time BSU ar ranged a peaceful protest. In the wake of the White Only, Black Only signs controversy last year, the group staged a walkout from class es and a protest at President Satish Tripathi’s annual State of the Uni versity Address. Their voices were loud and clear that they were disap pointed in the school’s actions. On Saturday, it was a small er group of BSU and other affili ate members who took the time to organize themselves and get their message across at the game. Part of our editorial board felt it would have been more effective if BSU took a stance during the tailgate or on the field. Be cause of the dwindling attendance at the game since the team lost the first two games, there may not have been enough people to notice BSU’s actions. But sometimes, being silent is the most effective way to get a message across. Other editors felt BSU’s mes sage was clear. There was no need to be vocal or draw attention from everyone in the stadium. Any row dy or violent behavior would cause their message to be muddled by their actions. The time seems appropriate, since other similar protests have taken place during a football game’s na tional anthem. The group could have seen a larger audience, per haps at a different game. But they did what they had to do. They were noticed and started a very important conversation on campus, which is everyone’s right to free speech. Looking forward to upcoming football games, it would be inter esting to see if members of the football team will participate in fu ture protests. Perhaps players don’t feel the need to kneel during the anthem, or maybe they were spe cifically instructed to stand. But there’s also a possibili ty that BSU’s decision to sit dur ing the anthem is the start of stu dents feeling comfortable speak ing up and exercising their rights. We at The Spectrum hope BSU con tinues to speak out for those who are hesitant and to incite meaning ful rhetoric about the Black Lives Matter movement. email: elc@ubspectrum.com [Spectru m 9/26/16] � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

UB announced an interim policy on Thursday which states that student artwork outside the Center for the Arts must be labeled as such. Tom Dinki Editor In Chief After months of student leaders calling for a university policy regarding artwork in pub lic spaces and a College of Arts and Sciences committee working to create such a policy, UB has created an interim plan in the meantime. The policy will require that art projects outside the Center for the Arts have some kind of note or explanation to identify it as a work of art. University policy already stated that art projects in common areas on campus be reviewed by the Environment, Health and Safety Department, which only reviews for physical safety and security is sues, not content. President Satish Tripa thi announced the interim policy in an open letter to students Thursday. Tripathi said with an official policy re garding art in public spaces, “it is impera tive that we strike the appropriate balance between academic freedom and inclusivity.” The announcement comes nearly three months after the controversial “White Only” art project that has caused students and administrators to discuss the boundar ies of artistic freedom, as well as diversity on campus. Ashley Powell, a graduate fine arts student, posted signs reading "White Only” and “Black Only” around campus bathrooms, water fountains and benches in September for a class project. Students, particularly the Black Student Union, have called for Tripathi and UB to cre ate a policy defining the boundary between art and cultural trauma, as the signs caused fear amongst students who believed they were a hate crime. BSU has held an open forum about the signs, staged a walkout of Tripathi’s annu al State of the University address and met with UB officials like Tripathi several times. Tripathi’s letter also highlighted other work being done by UB in the wake of the controversy, such as meeting with student leaders, creating a student of color advisory committed to University Police and adding curriculum concerning race in the new gen eral education program. “Together with the collaborative ef forts of our student leadership, our facul ty, and university administration, I believe that these conversations, procedures, cur ricular discussions, and policies are allowing us to balance freedom of expression with the need to foster a welcoming and inclu sive educational environment that is neces sary for learning,” Tripathi said in the letter. email: tom.dinki@ubspectrum.com. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

University at Buffalo The State University ofNew York | Page 1 of 3 Reaching Others UB Reporter > Campus > Tripathi establishes interim policy for student art projects Campus News Tripathi establishes interim policy for student art projects By Sue Wuetcher Published December 16, 2015 Read President Satish K. Tripathi’s open letter to UB students. [http://www.buffalo.edu/president/from-the- president/communications/spectrum-update-2.html] Student art projects installed on campus outside the Center for the Arts now must include a notation or explanatory identifier stating it is a work of art, according to a new interim operating procedure established by President Satish K. Tripathi. Tripathi announced the new procedure, to remain in effect until a College of Arts and Sciences’ committee can develop a formal policy, in a Dec. 11 letter to The Spectrum updating students on actions the university continues to take in response to the controversial student art project. As part of a class project — developed for the graduate course “Installation: Urban Space” (Art 562) offered by the Department of Art — student Ashley Powell posted several signs reading “White Only” and “Black Only” on Sept. 16 outside bathrooms and above drinking fountains on the North Campus. University Police immediately removed five signs in Clemens Hall after receiving several complaints; other signs were removed by members of the university community. Some students immediately expressed outrage about the signs on social media. Many were unaware the signs were an art project. Some have advocated for a university policy regarding the display of artwork in public spaces on campus. Tripathi noted in his letter to students that current university policy already requires that the placement of art projects in public areas on campus be reviewed by Environment, Health and Safety for safety and security issues. He stressed that under this policy, only physical elements and placement of an art project maybe reviewed for safety and security purposes. “The content of student art projects, which is expression that enjoys the protection of the First Amendment, may not be reviewed as part of this process,” he wrote. Tripathi also told students that he has met three times with leaders from the Student Association, Black Student Union and People of Color Council, as well as members of the Caribbean Student Union, African Student Association and Puerto Rican Organization for Dignity and Equal Rights (PODER) Latinos Unidos, and will meet again with the students on Friday. As a result of these meetings: UB has convened a students of color advisory committee to the University Police Department that is meeting monthly “to sustain a dialogue between campus officers and students to help ensure a safe and welcoming campus environment for all students.” Teresa Miller, vice provost for equity and inclusion, has held three meetings with students in residence halls across campus “to ensure our UB practices and programs are characterized by the fair, inclusive and equitable treatment of our diverse campus population.” Miller also is in the process of convening a student equity and inclusion advisory committee. Members of the UB community are exploring new curricular approaches to issues of race, ethnicity and cultural difference to present as part of the UB Curriculum — the new general education program — as well as developing new programs and lectures for next semester and beyond. The dean of the College of Arts & Sciences has been charged with assembling a committee to develop a formal policy regarding the installation of student art projects in university public spaces that strikes “the appropriate balance between academic freedom and inclusivity.” “Together with the collaborative efforts of our student leadership, our faculty and university administration,” Tripathi wrote, “I believe that these conversations, procedures, curricular discussions and policies are allowing us to balance freedom of expression with the need to foster a welcoming and inclusive educational environment that is necessary for learning.” Comments http://www.buffalo.edu/ubreporter/campus/campus-host-page.host.html/content/shared/u... 12/17/2015 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Black Student Union ephemera and printed material https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/cb639a8761d6fadb3af33c7aebeacb5c.pdf c1259d2fde35a57352617576b9d36e81 PDF Text Text BSU discusses lack of African-American faculty in African-American Studies Students discuss importance ofhaving a diversefaculty [Spectrum 10/19/17] Maddy Fowler News Editor Students discussed the importance of hav ing black professors, especially for AfricanAmerican studies courses at UB’s Black Stu dent Union general body meeting Wednesday in SU 210. Roughly 50 students filled the seats and some students sat on the floor. BSU Vice President Tavaine Whyte facil itated the discussion. Whyte, a senior Af rican-American Studies major, started the conversation by asking students if they had ever had a black professor. Less than half of the students in the room raised their hands. Last semester, The Spectrum wrote a story, “UB’s black faculty: dwindling and isolated,” which discussed the lack of black faculty at UB. Ninety-eight out of 2,513 faculties— or 3.8 percent— at UB were black as of fall 2015, according to UB Spokesperson John Della Contrada. Only 41 were tenure track, which brings the total down to 1.6 percent. And of the 17 faculty in the African-Amer ican Studies program, only three are black. “UB prides itself on being a diverse, in ternational campus, but when we look at our [faculty], they’re not diverse and interna tional,” said SA President Leslie Veloz. “So the question is, what initiatives is the univer sity putting into place to ensure that the di versity we’re seeing in [faculty] is reflective of the diversity in the student body?” Malcom Gray, BSU president and a senior political science major, feels he gets a more “raw” experience learning from a black pro fessor. “They understand the issues, they’re not just reading from a textbook or research studies; they’re teaching you from what they experienced and they’re frying to show,” Gray said. “Not hiring more African-American professors to teach in the African-American Studies department is really a disgrace.” Gray also expressed concern that while UB has a diversity’ learning requirement, students aren’t necessarily being educated about diversity and race in Buffalo. “As students, do we really know how peo ple in Buffalo really live?” Gray questioned. “Can we speak on the social and econom ic divide that exists between East Buffalo and West Buffalo? No we can’t, because UB doesn’t do a good job of showing us why we come to school and that we have to help fix our own communities.” Whyte pointed out that UB’s newest freshman class has one of the largest per centages of African-American students in UB’s history, yet most of their instructors will not look like them. Rosaura Romero, a junior psychology and health and human services major, related her own experience of how powerful it can be to have a fellow person of color as a pro fessor. She said she is often the only person of color in a classroom, which can be an isolating experience. She felt disconnected from faculty until she had a professor who was a person of color. “The first office hours I ever went to were for a professor who was of color be cause I felt like I could actually relate to him Maddy Fowler, The Spectrum BSU members discussed the lack of black faculty in the African American Studies program during their general body meeting on Wednesday night. and like he was actually going to help me and could understand where I was coming from,” Romero said. Natalia Marte, a second-year law student, feels having black professors at UB would improve black students’ academic and pro fessional development. “I say that because at the end of the day, your own people are going to look out for you,” Marte said. “They are going to give you the information that you need, because when they see you, they see themselves.” Jaycee Miller, a sophomore political sci ence and environmental design major, feels the university should offer an equivalent to the Collegiate Science and Technology En try Program that aids underrepresented stu dents in pursuing science, technology, engi neering and mathematics, licensed profes sions and health-related professions for the humanities and social sciences. “They need to be giving black students opportunities to get that Ph.D. so that they can become professors,” Miller said. Anthony Darand, a junior mechanical en gineering major, feels it is especially impor tant for white students to have black prof essors. He thinks white students, especial ly those who are from small towns and have never interacted with a person of color in their life, would benefit greatly from listen ing to people of color share their first-hand experiences as a black person in America. “Because yeah, you can learn AfricanAmerican studies from a white person,” Darand said. “But I feel like black stories should be told by black people.” email: maddy.fowler@ubspectrum.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson stated that a huge distinction exists between the liberation movement and hip-hop. Hip-hop was created as a form of musical and cul tural expression that used a social-political context. Johnson said what truly provided change was the Civil Rights Movement. The workshop conclud ed with a discussion about the misleading messages that the hip-hop industry is sending out to the youth today. “You don’t have to be Monday: 38° high / 36 ° low Snow mentored by somebody who is rich to get knowl edge; you have to be men tored by somebody knowl edgeable,” Johnson said. “I don’t want somebody to teach me how to make money. I want somebody to tell me what it feels [like] to be a black man in a country that no matter what they say, racism still exists.” Many guests expressed an appreciation for Johnson's Tuesday: 48° high / 38° low Thunderstorms ideas during the discussion portion of the workshop. “Johnson’s speech and the entire conference will hopefully motivate stu dents to take action and make a change,” said Buf falo State student Elisa Molina. Another workshop offered at the conference was “Racism Rejuvenated: see BSU page 4 Wednesday: 40° high / 23° low Snow �The Spectrum February 4, 2008 Role model for the future BSU from page 1 Acceptance Hinders Progres sion” lectured by Darnell Cum mings. The purpose of the discussion was to bring to light the recent uprising of racism inAmerica and whether or not the community is slowly and quietly digressing back toward the “Jim Crow Era.” The objective of this year’s conference is informing com munity members and those who attended the lecture about the state of complacency in the African American community, according to Donovan. The conference featured speakers in four workshops that worked with this year’s theme, “The Rebirth: Recapturing the Essence of the Black Liberation Alex Wallach I The Spectrum Struggle to Liberate our Commu BET host and producer Jeff Johnson spoke to students in his workshop nities.” “Basically these workshops about hip-hop's role in the liberation struggle, a part of BSU's third annu focus on different areas [of strug al Student Leadership Conference. gle] that the black community conferences like this and faces on a regular basis” Donovan to develop new leadership ideas said.

It was a very, very good day.” Black Solidarity Week comes to a close Friday at 7 P.M. in the Wilkeson Cof fee House with Harlem Night, the last in a week of events that included meet ings, speakers, and a semi nar Wednesday titled “Mod em Slavery.” The celebration to bring together and support Afri can-American students began Monday morning with LaToya Nettles singing Mike Debo I The Spectrum Students and members of the Black Student Union gather outside of Capen Hall in a kickoff to Black Solidarity Week to show unity and support in their protest against injustice. the black anthem and continued with the long line of marchers that chanted words of unity. The celebration continued when Grannum welcomed everybody with a poem by Maya Angelou called, “Still I Rise.” Performances by various campus groups fol lowed. “The unification expressed by the individuals involved was inspir ing,” said John Schulz, a senior sociology major. “It was nice to see strong bonds among such a longoppressed people.” “Black Solidarity Week is a week of unity and togeth erness for every man, woman, child and person of color,” Grannum said. “It’s a week where we can unite. It’s a week where we can reflect on the past, present and future.” Black Student Union offi cially became an organiza tion in 1968 and was the first club of color to con nect the black university community. It is “designed to raise the consciousness of blacks at UB and pro vide them with some iden tity and common bonds,” according to event organizers. Like many other organi zations, BSU strives to be involved and provide ser vices to help those in the community, and Black Soli darity Week is a part of that effort. Durval Morgan, public ity coordinator of BSU and a senior exercise science major, said this year’s Black Solidarity Week was the best one in years. “I feel that people under stand that in order for us to go ahead we must be together,” Morgan said. As a whole, students said the entire week is an important educational opportunity for students and the Buffalo communi ty “I went to the Black Soli darity Week and thought it was very inspiring,not only to college students but also to the entire black commu nity,” said Kwasi Boateng, a senior biochemical phar macology major. “I think it is an event that must be attended because it is very educational.” Grannum said Harlem Night would be a night of talent where youth can come and portray the gifts they were given in song, dance, and poetry. see Solidarity page 2 �Unity march Solidarity from page 1 “It’s a night we can pay tribute and homage to those who came before us who paved the way so we can be the entertainers, musi cians, poets and artists we are today,” she said.

The free event, which the group has been plan ning since last summer, took place Saturday in accordance with the orga nization’s 40th anniversary. The conference featured speakers in five workshops that showcased this year’s theme, “An Awakening: Redefining an Unclaimed Legacy in a Period of Com placency.” According to group members, the objective of this year’s event was to acknowledge current issues that the African American community faces in order to enable changes in those areas. “The theme of the First Annual Student Leader ship Conference was ‘For ever Forward,' so we need to know the problems in order to do that,” said Ekua Mends-Aidoo, BSU presi dent. The workshops fea tured topics such as the Black church’s role in the upbringing of community youth, Black consciousness, ascribed definitions of Afri can-American “male” and “female,” the prison indus trial system and money management. see BSU page 3 Prachi Bawaskar / The Spectrum The BSU passed out documents to all students before the workshops began to discuss issues pertaining to African American culture. �Some issues discussed grim, but many encouraging BSU from page 1 The key speaker of the event, James Hampton Jr., summed up the objective of the conference as an attempt to “bring about a change.” Hampton, a Cornell University Graduate, has been engaged in Ancient African studies for the past forty years. “I wanted to expose people to Africa, as it has been kept out of the education system,” Hampton said. He hopes to deter young Afri can-Americans away from the slave mentality and teach them to appreciate their rich history. “I want to inject positive into the young because I feel many don’t have an identity,” he said. “They have a lack of self-knowl edge and no one wants to iden tify with slavery. I believe that their self-esteem will be high after learning ‘who they are.’ ” Hampton discussed how some young African-Americans have no idea about their own culture and the greatness it holds. “Africans have been here for thousands of years, we were the first people on Earth,” Hampton said. “A whole group has been eliminated from the education curriculum.” The discussion about “Black Consciousness” and the other discussion workshops helped people to question and discuss the needs of the Black commu nity. “Consciousness is needed to understand the present state of things and to stop the way of things are now. Awareness gets us to reform,” said TuWanner Cleveland, a graduate social work student. Some issues discussed were grim, but many of the conversa tions encouraged positive out looks for African-Americans. One of the largest workshops was concerning the different definitions of an African-Ameri can man versus an African-Ameri can woman. “It was important to have addressed how the media mar ginalizes minorities,” said Erica Myrtil, junior political science major.“There is a very direct cor relation between the media and how African-Americans are per ceived. It was very informative and I liked hearing the different perspectives.” The workshops discussing the effects of the Black church and on the Black consciousness helped close the day event. “I enjoyed the workshops, and it was well organized, and the speakers were very knowledge able,” said Ashley Reed, a political science major. “I feel proud and I hope this will be a traditional that will continue here at UB.” According to Mends-Aidoo, the BSU held the event because they wanted to provide a pool of information so that the community may use the new resources to conquer present problems they face. “As a people, we need to know how things work, recognize things in the community that need a push, educate members of the community and then, take a course of action,” Mends-Aidoo said. The BSU feels that by holding conferences and educational programs they are accomplish ing their task. “I have an interest in diver sity and an interest to under stand different ethnic groups,” said George Pratt, BSU member. “Being Black and being an inter national student, I feel it is impor tant to attend things like this. It was an opportunity to mingle and to learn.” E-mail: spectrum-news@buffalo.edu � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The month’s topics are: “The Genocide of the African Ameri can Youth: AIDS,” the “Under ground Railroad,” “Endangered: The Black Family,” and “Self Hatred: Why do we deny our cul ture?” African SA and NAACP general [Spectrum- Feb 2, 2005] meetings are held Thursdays at 5 P.M. in the Student Union in Rooms 145B and 145A respec tively. “We’re trying to educate people a little more about Africa,” said Joyce Eleda, a sophomore chemistry major, and treasurer of the African SA.

Current Black Student Union (BSU) President Darnell Cummings and current BSU Publicity Coordinator Yasmin Paula were disqualified from the race for failing to obtain the required amount of signatures on their appli cation petition. Cummings was running see Election page 4 4 Only 147 signatures Election from page 1 for the position of president and Paula was running for vice presi dent. Student Association election rules stipulate that all candidates for student office must acquire 150 undergraduate signatures in order to be considered a candi date for office. While reviewing the petitions, the SA Elections and Creden tials Committee noticed that Cummings and Paula’s petition appeared to have less than the required amount so they decided to take a closer look. “Over the past three to four days we’ve been reviewing all petitions,” said Joshua Boston, member of the SA Elections and Credentials Committee and former managing editor of The Spectrum. “This one stood out to us on Friday and we continued to look over it over the weekend.” Closer examination found that the petition only contained 149 signatures and one student was also found to have signed twice. The student’s signature was disqualified, bringing the total amount down to 147 signatures. “They miscounted, it was an honest mistake on their part,” Boston said. “[Cummings] was very disappointed, but was a good sport about it.” The committee will continue to review all petitions to ensure they are all valid, according to an SA press release. “We hold all students to the same standards,” Boston said.

John McCain placed a phone call to Sen. Barack Obama, officially bringing the election for the 44th U.S. president to a close. Obama clinched the election around 11 P.M., making him the first black president of the United States. Soon after, Obama spoke in Chicago. The president-elect took the stage at 11:59 P.M., addressing an estimated crowd of 125,000 in Grant Park. “This is our moment,” Obama told the mass of supporters. “This is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth— that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: ‘Yes we can? ” Obama won the key battle ground states that previously allowed the Republicans to secure a close victory in 2004 - Virginia Ohio, Florida, Nevada and Colo rado. Iowa and New Mexico, two traditionally Republican states, were also turned blue Tuesday evening. Key to Obama’s victory were the swing states of Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, two states both candidates battled fiercely for. “I will never forget who this vic tory truly belongs to,” Obama said. “It belongs to you.” The president-elect cited the power of the younger generation as a driving force in his victory and thanked his supporters, campaign staff, family and Vice Presi dent-elect Joe Biden. “I know you didn’t do this just to win an election and I know you didn’t do it for me,” Obama told the crowd. “You did it because you understand the enormity "I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you." - President-elect Barack Obama of the task that lies ahead.” Obama honored McCain, noting his service to the country and a hard-fought race fought both by the Arizona senator and his running mate Sarah Palin. He then extended his gratitude to McCain supporters, citing an intention to serve them and earn their trust. “If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer,” Obama said. “... And to those Americans who’s support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help and I will be your president too.” Shortly after Obama was announced as the projected winner, McCain conceded at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix. “I had the honor of calling Sen. Barack Obama to congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country we both love,” McCain said. “I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating [Obama], but offering our next presi dent our goodwill and earnest effort to find ways to come together.” McCain took Texas, West Vir ginia, Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, North Dakota, Kansas, Wyoming, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Ten nessee, Idaho, Kentucky, and his home state of Arizona. Also late Tuesday night, Presi dent George W. Bush congratu lated Obama on his victory and con soled McCain, telling him, “John, you gave it your all,” according to a CBS news report. On campus, students were highly sup portive of the new president-elect. Rob D’Agostino, a junior finance major from Lockport, N.Y., voted for Obama and was happy with the outcome of the elec tion. “I think that it’s great for the country, I think [Obama] has a great vision for the see President page 8 �Andrew Werner / The Spectrum Ekua Mends-Aidoo, a senior exercise science major, cheered on President-elect Barack Obama with the Black Student Union in Goodyear Hall Tuesday night as the senator took Ohio, the state where Mends-Aidoo had been going door to door to garner support last weekend. "All that work," she said as celebrations resonated throughout the crowded lounge. "All we really need is Ohio." ‘That’s historical in itself' President from page 1 future,” D’Agostino said. “I think [Obama] has a lot of courage and he’s very easy to...agree with. It seems like he’s good for us right now.” Other students, like Tallheeda Scott, a sophomore psychology major, cited the historical signif icance of Obama’s victory. “To see an African-American make it this far...that’s historical in itself,” Scott said prior to McCain’s concession. For many college students, this was first opportunity to vote in a presidential election. Students like Eric Yeung, a senior business major, believe it’s important for young people to voice their opin ions during elections, especially during a presidential election. “I believe young people of our generation should actually step up at this time,” Yeung said. “It’s important for the students to elect the president who will serve them for the next couple years, especially because some of us will be graduating.” Mavis Ampem, a senior bio logical sciences major, voted for the first time in a presidential election on Tuesday. She, like many students, felt it was espe cially important to take advan tage of the opportunity to voice her opinion. “This is my first time, I want ed my vote to count,” Ampem said. “I think it’s time for a good change to happen.” Students like Sefinee Horace, a junior health and human ser vices major, believe that while Obama’s victory maybe historic, he’s also the right candidate for the position. “It’s not even because he’s black, but because he is the right person to be president,” Horace said. Also in contest for the presi dency were Roger Calero and Alyson Kennedy of the Socialist Workers party, Gloria LaRiva and Eugene Puryear of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente of the Green Party, Bob Barr and Wayne Root of the Lib ertarian Party and Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez of the Popu list Party.

The eighth annual dinner and fashion show was held for the second year at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Buffalo. With required formal wear and red carpet treatment, the event provided students from UB with an elegant night of food, friends and fashion. “It’s a celebration of the end of Black History Month and something for students to look forward to,” said Simone Hicks, president of the BSU. “It celebrates fashion, culture, and presents underground artists to the UB community. Black Explosion is our biggest event, and has grown significantly in the past couple years.” A $25 ticket afforded students a sit-down dinner followed by a fashion show and singing performances. The night highlighted some little-known talent within the community while simultaneously helping a good cause. Ten percent of the profits raised Saturday night went to Oprah’s Angel Network to support AIDS research. “I like the fact that the BSU can showcase talented students within the UB community. It allows students to show themselves off. Overall, I think it’s a nice event,” said Samaria Crossdale, a graduate economics student. Students attended the event to watch the show and see new styles, but what they were wearing was just as important. “People came out and dressed their best. I know I put a lot of hard work into my outfit,” said Rickey Brown, a junior psychology and Spanish major. “It’s an interesting and unique show, it is very cultural, with good food and good people.” As the 500 well-dressed guests attending Black Explosion filtered into the hotel’s grand ballroom they were greeted with candlelit tables and laid-back music. All the circular tables in Jen Colloton / the Spectrum Saturday's Black Explosion fashion show was equal parts elegance and attitude. the room surrounded a large runway. Meals were served at 7 P.M., but many people still weren’t present in their seats to eat. It was clear that the fashion show, not dinner, was the anticipated event of the night. As show time approached, people grabbed chairs from surrounding tables and crowded around the stage for a better view. Offering clothing styles from Brooklyn designers such as Woodwear, Pela, and Softlines, the audience was able to see a wide range of fashion, from evening wear and tuxedos to bathing suits. “The designers were remarkable, I wish I brought my checkbook,” said Christina Joseph, a junior communication and management major and model in the show. “The BSU e-board worked so hard to put this together, it’s incredible. I can’t wait for next year to be in the show again because it was so much fun. I didn’t know Buffalo had this much going on.” There was no lack of skin shown off as models strutted their stuff up and down the runway in outfits that were by no means modest.They received catcall and cheers from the enthusiastic viewers. People were singing, dancing, and clapping along with the music throughout the audience, clearly enjoying themselves while supporting their friends and relatives on stage. The audience was treated to music between runway presentations .Artists like Rhyson and Image entertained the audience with their different musical styles, ranging from rap to a cappella, in addition to the see Explosion page 6 �6 Explosion from page 5 stylish runway show. At the end of the night, it seemed as if most people were satisfied with the event, despite a few complaints. “I think it could have been a little better. The host was dry and the food wasn’t great. There could have been a little more variety,” said Asisat Oladele, a junior exercise science major. “But I had fun because I was with great friends who made me laugh.” Despite the food, others appreciated Black Explosion simply for the night of entertainment it gave them. “The scenery was beautiful, and the females were especially beautiful,” said Bernard Blake, a senior accounting major and member of fraternity Omega Psi Phi. “The show was good and met my expectations. It was just a fantastic atmosphere.” Black Explosion, which continues to grow and expand each year, was seen by many as an example of what the BSU can do for the UB community. “A lot of hard work and dedication is put into the show every year, and it keeps getting better,” said Brown. “I know when I graduate I’ll come back to Buffalo and see it again.” e-mail:spectrum-arts@buffalo.edu �Black Explosion February 26,2005 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

At a meeting hosted by the Black Student Union (BSU), a large crowd of students openly discussed domestic abuse. At the beginning of the meeting, sounds of out rage and disbelief echoed through the room as a clip of a“20/20”broadcast from abc.com portrayed an instance of actual abuse in which a mother was beaten in front of her children. “The situation in the video was awful,” said Cassandra Bowens, a junior social work major. “The fact that the man forced his 13-year-old son to video tape the beating was terrible.” Not only are women all over the United States being physically, psycho logically, sexually and even religiously abused, according to BSU President see BSU page 2 4/6/07] Ekua Mends-Aidoo, but there are women on campus that are abused as well. “Domestic abuse is very preva lent on campus, and we need to be aware of this,” Mends-Aidoo said. A poll taken among those who attended the meeting proved Mends-Aidoo’s point. Almost one-fourth of all the attendees raised their hands when asked if they knew someone, or were someone, who was abused. According to the broadcast, a woman is physically abused every 15 seconds. Debates regarding the reason why women are abused were intense throughout the two-hour meeting. Someone in attendance claimed women asked for atten tion even though they were not single by dressing provocatively. This in turn, they suggested, made the women susceptible to abusive men. Several women in the room immediately took the defense and heated discussion broke out. Ricardo Lopez, BSU activities coordinator, presented another idea. “Fear might be a factor,” Lopez said.“If a woman threatens a man in such a way, it’s as though she’s threatening his masculinity. This will cause fear and, in return, he’ll abuse her so that now she’s the one who’s afraid.” Another highly debated point involved the inability of the woman in the video clip to leave her husband. According to Mends-Aidoo, it normally takes a woman seven tries to leave her abuser. Some attendees believed that it takes so long for a woman to leave her abuser because the women are constantly condi tioned to believe what their husbands tell them and believe that they are at fault. Even after splitting up from their abusive spouse, women still express fear of their ex. Despite the movie and the heated discussion, the belief that domestic abuse is not that com mon was still held among several attendees. Lopez, who is also a junior communication major, believes that abuse is becoming less com mon. “Women are progressing,” said Lopez. “Abuse is happening on a lesser scale.” However, Mends-Aidoo strong ly cautioned against such ideas. “Abuse is prevalent and that’s why we decided on this topic for the meeting,” he said. “People need to know.” Many who participated in the debates suggested that the vol ume of abused women is not advertised because women are normally too afraid of their dan gerous boyfriend or spouse to do anything about the situation. Mends-Aidoo suggested that anyone who is a victim of or a witness to a case of abuse should contact the Wellness Education Services at 114 Student Union. Abuse may be hard to prove, considering that the suppressed women will lie for their signifi cant other. That is all the more reason to contact the authorities if there is any suspicion of abuse, according to members of the BSU. “You never know who might be involved in abuse,” MendsAidoo said. “If you see signs, don’t ignore them and take pre cautions. Contact someone. You might save someone’s life.” E-mail: spectrum-news@buffalo.edu � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Locke Jr. Western New Yorkers have expressed outrage and indignation over the way local social agencies handled the case of Annetta Petty, the 15-year-old Buffalo girl who was forced into prostitution and slain before she could tell her story in a court of law. Their outrage and indignation were outlined in letters and telephone calls to The CourierExpress following the publica tion Dec. 1 to Dec. 6 of a series of articles entitled “Who Cared About Annetta Petty?” In addition their concerns have been expressed at meet ings of clubs, teachers’ organiza tions and community groups. As a result of community con cern oyer the case. City Court Judge Samuel L. Green, the Buffalo Youth Board and BUILD (Build, Unity Independence, Liberty and Dignity) have formed a task force to develop rehabilitation programs to aid teen-age prostitutes. With Judge Green as chair man, the group has Invited nearly 50 representatives from social agencies and members of community groups, clergymen, police agencies, the district at torney’s office and parents of troubled youths to a meeting at 7:30 P.M. Wednesday in the YWCA 180 Franklin St. The Black Student Union at the University of Buffalo also is mappingplans to starta pro gram to aid youthful prostitutes by providing recreational and cultural enrichment programs for them. Miss Petty was black. In addition, Mrs. Joyce Dade, supervisor of youth programs at Prince of Peace Temple Church of God in Christ, at 1551 Jef ferson Ave. is actively seeking young women to join the church’s free programs in crafts, ceramic creations, paint ings. home economics and cro cheting. Motivation Sought - Mrs. Dade who called The Courier-Express after she be came concerned about the wel fare of young girls, said the _ program has as its basic aim to prepare members to fu be ture homemakers and to offer practical motivation for young Code: homemakers. Although' most of the respons esto the articles in.The Courier Express called for more direct action by social agencies to head off young girls before they got into serious trouble, some of "the callers complained that The "Courier-Express had put the blame on "society” instead of on the victim’s homelife. James Williams, principal of - Woodlawn Junior High School, 450 Masten Ave., the school An netta last attended, charged that the articles were sensational and merely designed to sell more newspapers. A businessmen's group on Ni agara Falls Blvd., in the area of the Rip Van Winkle Motel where Annetta’s body was found tin a bathtub Oct. 21, charged that the articles had hurt the small businessmen in that area. Compliment Paid Donald C. Mitchell of Eggerts ville described the articles as, "a great series on Annetta thought provoking and hard hit ting where it counts. I hope that the power structures takes heed and acts responsibly," he wrote. Mrs. Phyllis, J. Mammaser wrote: “I can sympathize with this girl's (Annetta) problem. I found that some of the so-called experts advice almost ruined my son. “We believe there is a lot to be desired in the way schools operate with the emotionally dis turbed child. It takes a lot of gumption to uncover and ex pose to the public the wrong doings of the higherups. “There are so many laws that need change and so many things that should be brought to the public’s eye. Today, not enough people care and that’s what’s wrong with our world,” Mrs. Mammaser’s letter added: Girl’s Story Told Two young girl’s, now in a home for unwed mothers, called and said they had been per suaded to work as prostitutes. when they were 15 years old. They said their procurers took them to see such movies as "The Mack, Superfly, Cleopatra Jones" and “Blackbelt Jones," and other movies in which wo men were exploited, encouraging them to be prostitutes so they could provide incomes for the men they thought they loved. The girls said they were beat en many times when they failed to earn enough money to pay for Something their procurer wanted to buy or to pay a bill. Mrs. Sarah D. Lawrence of West Seneca wrote and said she had experienced proMems with Family Court and th e Erie Coun ty Probation Dept. for about five years and her family has been treated as a number, rather than as humans during that period of time. Mrs. Lawrence supplied The Courier-Express with a detailed list of the many times she had talked to various persons in Family Court and the probation department, including the time of the day the conversations took place end the name of the persons and their replies to her problems. 20 Bible Quoted Mrs. Virlie M. Payne of falo wrote and said: "My [ilegible] said to train a child in the he should go; spare the and spoil the child.” She suggested that par should maintain tighter cor over their children and in turn will be more afraid get in trouble. Kevin Better, a teacher in Buffalo School system, suggested that more after-school grams would be helpful providing activities that will keep youths oat of trouble Black Student Union Paper CEX P. 1-9 Date 12/15/74 Code ONE Teacher Opposed Charles M. Breinin, a school teacher, condemned the articles. He wrote: "The needles death of a child, no matter what the cause, is a sad affair., But to assume the behavior of one child is the responsibility: of a school system that has over whelmingly given us normal, hard working, and honest people is ignorance at best.” Breinin asked: “Was Annetta the only child each of her teach ers had to deal with? Were all social workers obliged to ignore other children to heed the call of Annetta? Indeed, is a public school even expected to provide the therapeutic en vironment Annetta seems to have needed?" Arthur R. Carmichael of Buf falo wrote and said: "The tragedy of Annetta Petty was her character, her environment and her associations. No school, public or private can or will ever be able to endow a person with • good character, good en vironment or good associates. The school can and does provide the education so that a person can better himself.’’ One=page 1; TR=trick page; SP=split page; ED=Editorial page; SPO=sports page; SO=society page; RTV=radio-TV column or supplement; MAG=supplement. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ketter of the University of Buffalo told a group of black students and faculty members Thursday that most of the demands served on him Wednesday were for changes already under consid eration. The delegation’s spokes man charged his response was “net specific enough” and broke off discussions. The stalemate ended the sec ond of two meetings Ketter held with the group, fewer than half of the 200 who confronted him Wednesday with a list of five "Demands From the Black Populace at UB." But before he took up any of the students' demands, Ketter again labeled them “problems” in his reply issued Thursday. “If the history of the last several years has taught any thing, however, it is that we do little to solve problems when, even for the best of motives, they are stated in the form of demands,” he said. “I can understand the circum stances and the factors that lead to the use of this form. But I think we have all seen that, even when genuine prob lems are stated in this fashion, a constructive solution may be impeded, rather than accel erated.” Meeting Recesses The first meeting Thursday began at 1:30 P.M. at Capen Hall, scene of Wednesday’s gathering, and recessed after about 20 minutes to permit the group to study the UB president’s seven-page res ponse. The second meeting was con vened in the third-floor amphi theater in Hayes Hall at 4:30 P.M. Spokesmen for the dele gation, who had called for min ority access to the president’s office, injected a condition that would bar “any dialogue” be tween Ketter and a minority member of the campus except with the approval of the “Black Populace,” and at a time and place designated by it. A second amendment to the group's original objectives was the inclusion “of all Caribbean area” studies under black studies, which Ketter understood to include the Puerto Rican pro gram. When Ketter sought to bring the discussion back to the original five-point agenda, the spokesmen balked and the meeting ended less than 20 minutes: after it began. Code: Page 31.5 Status Change In his written point-by-point response to the objectives handed to him Wednesday, Ketter Thursday disclosed that a move was under way to upgrade the university’s Black Studies Program to departmental status. This was one of the “demands.” He assured the delegation, numbering between 80 and 90 at both sessions, that the minority voice will be heard "in such matters as promotion and tenure,” as urged, and invited minorities to use already-established channels by dialogue with the president’s office. The invitation was in direct response to one of the original aims of the delegation, now deflected, Ketter said, by new Black Populace restrictions on "dialogue” between minorities and the university president. Tenure Questions Of the final point originally raised by the delegation — mediate reappointment and tenure im for Charles Gayles, visiting assistant professor of music, and Dr. David J. Banks, assistant professor of anthropology—Ketter said Gayles’ situation is under review and Banks’ reap pointment is certain. He care fully explained the status of each regarding tenure. The question of elevating black studies to the prestige of a de partment, Ketter said, was be ing resolved as the Thursday meetings went on. Dr. Edwin P. Hollander, act ing provost of the faculty of So cial Sciences and Administra tion, went before the Policy Committee of his faculty and proposed a Black Studies Dept. after “several weeks” of dis cussions. "I am happy to inform you that the Policy Committee has unanimously voted to set into motion the procedures required for the program to achieve full departmental status,” Ketter said. Peer Judgment Regarding the students’ bid for a procedure that would ex pose minority candidates for tenure and promotion to “peer group judgment,” the UB pres ident said: “I am requesting all depart ments and all faculties to mod ify, if necessary, their personnel procedures so as to ensure minority representation on all committees which make such recommendations. I will also take whatever steps are neces sary to ensure that the all-uni versity recommending authority will have minority representa tion as of the academic year 1972-73.” All-university committees represent the final stage of con sideration for tenure and related faculty recommendations, Ketter explained, the first two being departmental and faculty levels. As for the delegation’s insistence on tenure for Banks, the president said: “What is at issue is not his continuation at the university but his request that he be promoted to tenured associate professor.” Ketter explained that the Dept. of Anthropology “has recommended promotion” for Banks but “the Faculty Personnel mittee . . . has recommended Com that consideration for promotion be delayed another year, since Prof. Banks is only now com pleting his third year at this university.” Appointment Rejected He cautioned that the Presi dent’s Review Board is to con sider Banks’ case today and that “it would be improper and, in fact, possibly prejudicial to Prof. Banks, for me to make any statement on this issue until I have the board’s recommenda tion.” In Prof. Gayle’s case, Ketter said, “the Dept. of Music has overwhelmingly voted not to new that appointment.” re Nevertheless, he said, the Personnel Committee of the faculty of Arts and Letters is reviewing the case and “I plan to appoint a special committee, on which there will be minority representation, to study this matter in careful depth and to make an appropriate recommendation to me.” Responding to the black gation dele ’s call on. him for mediate dialogue with minority "im group students in professional and graduate schools for the purpose of alleviating their problems,” Ketter said he has met “a number of times” with Law School and health sciences students. Seminars Noted "I would be happy to continue . these meetings, either on a periodic basis or as specific is sues require.” he said. “Other graduate student groups could also be included in these dis cussions.” As for “regular dialogue be tween the president’s office and minority students and faculty,” Ketter pointed to his regular Tuesday morning sessions with students and faculty and staff members. He offered to “explore whatever arrangements might be necessary or desirable to improve or regularize . . . ex isting modes of communication” and, referring to the delegation’s 86 “I believe that the discussion which would occur in these logues offer the most fruitful di and constructive means of tackling and resolving some of the other problems identified in the documents given to me.” Ketter said he is ready begin discussions “for the greatest benefit of our minority students and for the entire university committee ... at the earlie possible occasion.” But, he phasized, they must: em —Be approached by all parties with a sincere desire to arrive at a constructive solution. —Be approached as common problems, whose solution is the common interest. —Involve only students which represent and are recognized by “their student constituents “I ask. therefore, that you proceed to designate individuals who are to meet with us in the discussions,” Ketter conclude Paper [illegible] P. 7 Date 4/28/72 Code [Blank] agenda of "demands,” said: One-page 1; TR=trick page; SP-split page; ED-Editorial page; SPO=sports page; SO=society page; RTV=radio-TV column or supplement; MAG-supplement. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ketter’s response to demands they issued Wednesday. About 100 minority students attended Thursday’s second meeting with Dr. Ketter over the demands. Earlier in the afternoon, he had read a state ment answering what he said he understood to be their five summary demands. At the second meeting, in a switch from earlier sessions when the students left rapidly after statements were made, they offered to discuss the dis puted points But after a few minutes talk about tenure for two black faculty members, a major stu dent demand, a spokesman said: “Irregardless of what we wanted, we’re getting treated the same run-around way. You read it (their latest state ment), evaluate it and we’ll contact you at some other time.” They Left without setting another meeting. Comparison of the three major documents — the stu dent’s original statement, Dr. Ketter’s response and the stu dent’s answer — indicates that agreement was reached on only one demand — that perpetual dialogue be established be tween the president’s office and the minority group students and faculty. To his offer to continue his practice of meeting with any minority professional or grad uate student who requested it, the students said that such talks should take place “only with students elected by the minority student body.” “I was very surprised that they feel like limiting the free dom of speech,” Dr. Ketter said after the session. students said the response did not go far enough because the new department has not been guaranteed control of African and Puerto Rican, studies or immediate space. The students renewed their demand that Charles E. Gayle Jr., assistant professor of music, and Dr. David J. Banks, assistant professor of anthro pology, be immediately given tenure as associate professors. Both in his statement for Thursday’s first meeting and at the second meeting, Dr. Ketter said that both cases were still under consideration and re fused an immediate decision. Mr. Gayle is in the second year of a three-year contract and his faculty voted “over whelmingly” not to renew it, Dr. Ketter said. * Page 4 Black Student * * Dr. Banks, he continued, has been given a three-year re appointment and the Presi dent’s Review Board is sched uled to review his request for tenure today. Although Dr. Ketter had promised minority representa tion on all future tenure and promotion committees, the stu dents repeated their demand for a special minority tenure committee and grievance board. The areas which the students charged Dr. Ketter ignored in his reply include: A minority-elected board of review compliance with Of fice of Equal Opportunity guidelines; minority represen tation on the Faculty Senate and curriculum review com mittees; two minority place ment officers; minority hous ing on the North Campus and an investigation of racial problems in the dormitories; minority student orientation, and an “integrated,” quality remedial program.

The first meeting was held in Capen 140 last Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 — it was short and abrupt and constituted simply of written statements being read aloud [these demands appear on pages two and three in complete form]. At this time, President Robert Ketter was given 24 hours in which to respond. Promptly at 1:30 P.M. the following Thursday, President Ketter, accompanied by Executive Vice President Albert Somit, Acting Vice President for State University of New York at Buffalo Academic Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti and Campus Security officials, presented his response to the Black representatives [his statement appears on this page]. At a subsequent meeting held later the same day, a Black spokesman for the 200 people in a Hayes Hall conference room reported to President Ketter: “We have looked at your response to the Black Populace. You were presented with a detailed proposal and a summary of the demands of the Black Populace. You have not dealt with the specific questions which were outlined in the document presented to you.” He continued: “This administration has asked Black Response to the statements received from the Black Student Union: Yesterday, after a meeting with black students, I was presented with three documents. I shall focus this statement primarily on the document which presents five “Demands from the Black Populace at U.B.” I do this because it seems to be the latest document and also because the problems raised in these five points tend to subsume most, though not all, of the problems raised in the other documents. At the conclusion of this statement I will indicate how I think those other questions might most constructively be approached. Before turning to specific questions, a preliminary comment is in order. The documents given to me call attention to a variety of problems and concerns. Many of these are very real and we should do whatever is possible to come to grips with them. If the history of the past several years has taught us anything, however, it is that we do little to solve problems when, even for the best of motives, they are stated in the form of demands. I can understand the circumstances and the factors that lead to the use of this form. But I think we have all seen that even when genuine problems are stated in this fashion, a constructive solution may be impeded, rather than accelerated. There are more fruitful ways of approaching these remarks. Turning now to the five-item document, let me take up the points in the order in which they have been raised. 1. 1. Black Studies Acting Provost Hollander of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration informs me that, over the past several weeks, there have been discussions looking to the redesignation of the Black Studies Program as a Department. A formal proposal for such redesignation was made by him today to the Policy Committee of that Faculty. I am happy to inform you that the Policy Committee has unanimously voted to set into motion the procedures required for the Program to achieve full departmental status. 2. Tenure and Review Procedures Tenure and related faculty personnel recommendations are made at three levels — departmental, Faculty, and all—University. I think you know that I have already established the practice of having minority representation on all University-wide search committees. I am requesting all departments and all Faculties to modify, if necessary, their personnel procedures so as to ensure minority representation on all committees which make such recommendations. I will also take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the all-University recommending authority will have minority representation as of the academic year 1972-73. 3. Professors Banks and Gayle It is essential that the facts in these cases be fully understood. Professor Banks is already assured of a three-year reappointment at the University. What is a issue is not his continuation at the University but his request that he be promoted to Tenured Associate Professor. The procedure in such matters is as follows: first, a departmental recommendation; second, a Faculty — in this case the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration — recommendation. The Department of Anthropology has recommended promotion; the Faculty Personnel Committee, however, has recommended that consideration of promotion be delayed for another year, since Professor Banks is only now completing his third year at this University. Under these circumstances, the matter now goes before the all-University faculty personnel agency, the President’s Review Board. The Board is scheduled to consider Professor Banks’ case tomorrow. It would be improper and, in fact, possibly prejudicial to Professor Banks, for me to make any statement on this issue until I have the Board’s recommendation before me. I expect to receive this recommendation tomorrow. Friday, 28 April 1972 Populace to share their desires in resolving these matters in abstraction and symbolics. Our position is very definite — That there are no alternatives to our specific demands. The demands must be met in full and not in the Administration controlled world of abstraction and symbolism.” When President Ketter attempted to fully delineate his position, the Blacks left the conference room declaring the whole meeting a “waste of time.” At press time, a meeting was scheduled to take place because as one Black representative declared: “Let’s go get together because we know we know how to deal with the man from here on out.” Now the case of Professor Gayle. Professor Gayle is in the second year of a three-year appointment which runs until June 1973. The Department of Music has overwhelmingly voted not to renew that appointment. The Personnel Committee of the Faculty of Arts and Letters is currently reviewing the case. The objection has been raised that there has been no minority representation on the two Faculty entitles which have dealt with this case. Given this situation, I plan to appoint a special committee, on which there will be minority representation, to study this matter in careful depth and to make an appropriate recommendation to me. 4. Dialogue with Minority Professional and Graduate Students Over the past two years, I have met a number of times with minority students from the School of Law and from several of the Schools in the Health Sciences. Others in the President’s Office also have had meetings with students from these areas. I would be happy to continue these meetings, either on a periodic basis or as specific issues require. Other graduate student groups could also be included in these discussions. 5. Regular Dialogue Between President’s Office and Minority Students and Faculty As you know, I have regularly reserved Tuesday mornings for meetings with students, faculty and staff. A number of members of the minority community at the University have taken advantage of these opportunities. In addition, I meet, from time to time, with the various advisory groups and committees that have been constituted to recommend courses of action on particular issues. Here again, a substantial number of minority individuals are included in these sessions. At their request, more or loss regularly scheduled meetings have been held with officers of many of the organized groups on campus. I would be happy to explore whatever arrangements might be necessary or desirable to improve or regularize these already existing modes of communication. I believe that the discussions which would occur in these dialogues offer the most fruitful and constructive means of tackling and resolving some of the other problems identified in the documents given to me. This administration shares your desire that these problems be resolved in manners which will provide optimal benefit for our minority students and for the entire University community. I am prepared to begin these discussions with your representatives at the earliest possible occasion. I should stress, though, that three conditions are necessary if these discussions are to be as productive as we all want them to be. First, they will have to be approached by all parties with a sincere desire to arrive at a constructive solution. I can assure you of such an approach on the part of this administration. I look forward to your collaboration. Second, as indicated earlier, the concerns you have raised must be approached as common problems, whose solution is in the common interest. We must be willing to examine alternative solutions in terms of their possible merits. Finally, I fully agree that the resolution of these matters will require on-going discussions. At the same time, I am sure you will agree, the student participants in these discussions must be representative of, and be recognized by, their student constituents. I ask, therefore, that you proceed to designate the individuals who are to meet with us in these discussions. It may be that, in the officials you have already elected, you have the representatives you wish; it may be that you wish to hold other elections for this purpose; I ask simply that, by whatever mechanisms you wish to employ, that you identify and authorize those individuals who are to serve as your representatives. I hope you will proceed to this authorization as soon as possible. —Robert Ketter � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Response to the statements received from the Black Student Union: Yesterday, after a meeting with black students, I was presented with three documents. I shall focus this statement primarily on the document which presents five "Demands from the Black Populace at U.B." I do this because it seems to be the latest document and also because the problems raised in these five points tend to subsume most, though not all, of the problems raised in the other documents. At the conclusion of this statement I will indicate how I think those other ques tions might most constructively be approached. Before turning to specific questions, a preliminary comment is in order. The documents given to me call attention to a variety of problems and concerns. Many of these are very real and we should do whatever is possible to come to grips with them. If the history of the past several years has taught us anything, however, it is that we do little to solve problems when, even for the best of motives, they are stated in the form of demands. I can understand the circumstances and the factors that lead to the use of �2. But I think we have all seen that even when this form. genuine problems are stated in this fashion, a construc tive solution may be impeded, rather than accelerated. There are more fruitful ways of approaching these matters, a point which I would like to discuss later in my remarks. Turning now to the five-item document, let me take up the points in the order in which they have been raised. 1. Black Studies Acting Provost Hollander of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration informs me that, over the past several weeks, there have been discussions looking to the redesignation of the Black Studies Program as a Department. A formal proposal for such redesignation was made by him today to the Policy Committee of that Faculty. I am happy to inform you that the Policy Committee has unanimously voted to set into motion the procedures required for the Program to achieve full departmental status. �3. 2. Tenure and Review Procedures Tenure and related faculty personnel recommendations are made at three levels -— departmental. Faculty, and all-University. I think you know that I have already established the practice of having minority representation on all University-wide search committees. I am requesting all departments and all Faculties to modify, if necessary, their personnel procedures so as to ensure minority representation on all committees which make such recommen dations. I will also take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the all-University recommending authority will have minority representation as of the academic year 1972-73. 3. Professors Banks and Gayle It is essential that the facts in these cases be fully understood. Professor Banks is already assured of a three-year reappointment at the University. What is at issue is not his continuation at the University but his request that he be promoted to Tenured Associate Professor; in such matters is as follows: recommendation; The procedure first, a departmental second, a Faculty — in this case the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration — recommendation. The Department of Anthropology has recommended promotion; �4. the Faculty Personnel Committee, however, has recommended that consideration of promotion be delayed for another year, since Professor Banks is only now completing his third year at this University. Under these circumstances, the matter now goes before the all-University faculty personnel agency, the President's Review Board. The Board is scheduled to consider Professor Banks' case tomorrow. It would be improper and, in fact, possibly prejudicial to Professor Banks, for me to make any statement on this issue until I have the Board's recommen dation before me. I expect to receive this recommendation tomorrow. Now the case of Professor Gayle. Professor Gayle is in the second year of a three-year appointment which runs until June 1973. The Department of Music has overwhelmingly voted not to renew that appointment. of the Faculty of Arts and Letters is The Personnel Committee �5. currently reviewing the case. The objection has been raised that there has been no minority representation on the two Faculty entities which have dealt with this case. Given this situation, I plan to appoint a special committee, on which there will be minority representation, to study this matter in careful depth and to make an appropriate recommendation to me. 4. Dialogue with Minority Professional and Graduate Students Over the past two years, I have met a number of times with minority students from the School of Law and from several of the Schools in the Health Sciences. Others in the Pres ident's Office also have had meetings with students from these areas. I would be happy to continue these meetings, either oh a periodic basis or as specific issues require. Other graduate student groups could also be included in these discussions. 5. Regular Dialogue Between President's Office and Minority Students and Faculty As you know, I have regularly reserved Tuesday morn ings for meetings with students, faculty and staff. A number of members of the minority community at the University have taken advantage of these opportunities. In �6. addition, I meet, from time to time, with the various advisory groups and committees that have been constituted to recommend courses of action on particular issues. Here again, a substantial number of minority individuals are included in these sessions. At their request, more or less regularly scheduled meetings have been held with officers of many of the organized groups on campus. I would be happy to explore whatever arrangements might be necessary or desir able to improve or regularize these already existing modes of communication. I believe that the discussions which would occur in these dialogues offer the most fruitful and constructive means of tackling and resolving some of the other problems identified in the documents given to me. This administration shares your desire that these problems be resolved in manners which will provide optimal benefit for our minority students and for the entire University community. I am prepared to begin these discussions with your representatives at the earliest possible occasion. I should stress, though, that three conditions are necessary if these discussions are to be as productive as we all want them to be. �7. First, they will have to be approached by all parties with a sincere desire to arrive at a constructive solution. I can assure you of such an approach on the part of this administration. I look forward to your collaboration. Second, as indicated earlier, the concerns you have raised must be approached as common problems, whose solution is in the common interest. We must be willing to examine alternative solutions in terms of their possible merits. Finally, I fully agree that the resolution of these matters will require on-going discussions. time, At the same I am sure you will agree, the student participants in these discussions must be representative of, and be recognized by, their student constituents. I ask, therefore, that you proceed to designate the individuals who are to meet with us in these discussions. It may be that, in the officials you have already elected, you have the representatives you wish; it may be that you wish to hold other elections for this purpose; I ask simply that, by whatever mechanisms you wish to employ, that you identify and authorize those individuals who are to serve as your representatives. I hope you will proceed to this authorization as soon as possible.

Dr. Robert L. Ketter, UB president, and Dr. Albert So mit, executive vice president, were left alone in the room when the 200 students and faculty members walked out of a meeting they had re quested Friday. The demands are: — Black studies be imme diately made a full-fledged de partment. — Tenure and review pro cedures be revised to give minority members judgment by their peers. — Immediate dialogue be established with minority group students in professional and graduate schools. — Charles E. Gayle Jr., visiting assistant professor of music, and Dr. David J. Banks, assistant professor of anthropology, be reappointed as associate professor with tenure. Both have been denied fur ther appointment, UB spokes men said. —These four demands be im mediately adopted and per petual dialogue be established between the president, minority students and faculty. Edward Gamble, a black student, said the committee to be established to deal with the UB president later would deal with minority involvement in all facets of the university. Before announcing their de mands, the students, who said they represented the Black Student Union, Third World Veterans Alliance and other minority groups on campus, read a 9-page list of what they called “sins of omission and sins of commission” by Dr. Ketter. Dr. Ketter had no immediate response to the demands.

Professor David Banks is discrimingated against and denied tenure. He is eligible and has to get tenure. 3. Mrs. Eddins was forced out of the School of Nursing. We demand that she is reappointed immediately as an Associate Professor with tenure in the School of Nursing. That further she would have the option to work full-time in the Black Studies Department. 4. Black administrators do not have authority commensurate with the responsibilities with which they are saddled. Consequently, they should not be asked to respond to questions which are being raised today. Responses must come from you. 5. Once departmental status has been granted to the Black Studies Unit, it should be authorized to invite an advisory croup made up of specialists in Black Studies and Black students to evaluate the curriculum, its staffing pattern and its administrative structure and make recommendations which will be binding. 6. The University of Buffalo must assume its responsibility by working at federal, state and local levels to provide adequate support for minority students in graduate and professional schools. 7. We are protesting the racist and discriminative acts that have been bestowed upon the Black student body by racist faculty members and also demand that immediate actions be taken to alleviate this unethical an academic practice.

The charge was filed by Student Association officers with the university's Commission on Campus Disorders, an organization of students, facul ty and staff which hears charges in campus disorders and then makes recommenda tions to the president who takes final action. A hearing on the charge is expected in 10 to 15 days. The names of the students charged were not released. The disruption charge fol lowed a meeting of the Student Assembly Monday concerning the budget requests of student organizations for next school year. Page 60 Black Student Union A University spokesman said members of the Black Student Union became angry when they learned their origi nal budget request of $99,000 had been reduced to $39,000 by the Student Assembly’s Finance Committee. “Larry Williams, Black Student Union president, and three other members got up and started protesting the budget cut," the spokesman said. “When the Student Assembly officers tried to continue the meeting, Mr. Williams and the other three students stood on the head table and continued protesting, disrupting the meet ing. The meeting was eventually forced to adjourn.” He said the black students demanded that all student ac tivity fees collected from black students should go to the Black Student Union instead of the Student Association. The Student Assembly rejected the proposal. ... Student Association offi cers filed the disruption charge Tuesday and UB campus se curity officers delivered the charges to the four students at a closed meeting of Black Student Union members and black faculty in Hayes Hall. The 30 persons at the meet ing then went to UB President Robert L. Ketter to protest the delivery of the charges at the closed meeting. A university spokesman said that Dr. Ketter met with Dr. Frank Brown, associate professor of educational admin istration, to discuss the matter and that nothing was resolved.

Permit NO. 311 '72 �Black Student Union What we are about, and where we are coming from, and where we are going as a structured, organization, controlled and admin istered by black people . . . devoting itself to the cultural, edu cational, and economical needs of the black community and addressing itself completely to Black Liberation. We, of the Black Student Union, are about dealing with education. We are about educating ourselves, as a people in order to form a firm basis for a better organized and more progressive community. We are about educating ourselves in our own history to main and develop our minds in the course of self-awareness and self confidence. We are about educating to build a strong economic force in not only our country, but also in the Third World. We are already a cohesive force in the economy of our country. It is also well known that we have no control within this force. Therefore, we are about educating ourselves on Industrial Affairs and in Political Education, so we may deal with this problem in a strong and determined fashion. We are about doing our own research, because of incorrect and insufficient data, which for the most part is unrelated and not available to the black people. We are about intensive evaluation in order to establish our main priorities. We are about implementation based on our sound research and extensive evaluation in order to assure ourselves of efficient and complete productive programming. We have to work hard to evolve new patterns, new social cus tom, new attitudes to life, so that while we seek the material cultural, and economic advancement of our people, while we raise their standard of life we shall not sacrifice their funda mental happiness. We must not become complacent over any success. We should check our complacency and constantly criti cize our short-comings. We feel the people, that any brother or sister may believe in any type of structural gov’t. This organ ization will not stand firm on any one ground, but all grounds of political struggles. 28 �French Club The French Club of SUNY/AB was just initiated this year 1972, and because of this is very versatile and welcomes fresh new ideas. Despite their youth as a club, they were able to pursue a variety of projects which all succeeded. These included such things as: The Spring Film Festival; coffee hours, one with Claud Kipnis (mime artist); French Cuisine Dinner; a literary magazine and newsletters. Some projects that they have in mind for next year seem to be just as interesting and exciting; an exchange with MiGill U. in Montreal, a theater group and much more. They do have one problem though. Many students believe that they must be able to speak French or be enrolled in a French class to join. Although at times we do try to converse in French it certainly is not mandatory. If you are interested in France’s culture and that of our near-by French Canadian neighbors we more than welcome you! Historical Conflict Simulations Club Commanding cardboard armies on specialized maps according to comprehensive rules is a unique way to explore and "experi ence” history, and a stimulating intellectual hobby. The club offers this chance with weekly meetings, tournaments, specialist magazines and discounts on games. Open to all students and area residents, there are ample opportunities for novices (in structions in play available) and experts (many members have special interests) to meet friendly enemies, whether on the sands of North Africa or coming in from 12 o’clock. Contact Jim Venn (882-3825) or come to a meeting, every Sunday in Norton Hall. Nursing Students’ Organization All undergraduate students in the SUNY/AB School of Nursing are members of the Nursing Students’ Organization, (NSO). Elected representatives from the organization form the Student Council which serves as spokesman for students and as the main channel of communication between students and admin istration. This coming year, we are planning a job opportunities seminar and a program where senior students are available to help juniors, and juniors to help sophomores with scholastic prob lems such as nursing care plans. We are making a grand attempt to make Student Council respon sive to NSO members! Questions, criticism, and suggestions are welcome. Officers for ’72-’73, Dorie Ackerman, Debbie Zip kin, Chris Ermer, Jan Nacobs, and Lois Sieczkarek can be con tacted through the student council basket in H.

Robert E. Coleman, the direc tor; said with the aid of funds, from United Way, the Westmin ster Presbyterian Church, 724 Delaware Ave., and the Presby tery of Western New York, the center is equipped to serve a maximum of 150 breakfasts each day. He said that some preschool children are served meals when they come in with older sisters and brothers and occasionally junior high school students are served if the total number of children for that day is less than the 150 maximum. The Breakfasts were started in 1969 by the Black Student Union at the University of Buffalo. Coleman said the center also receives additional funds for the breakfasts from the Ameri can Freedom From Hunger Foundation, contributing from various organizations and indi vidual donations. “Some of the money raised, through the March on Hunger annual campaign here is do nated to keep the breakfast pro gram going,” he said. Students from Nichols School, Rosary Hill College and mem bers of the Westminster Presby terian Church work as volun teers in the preparation and the serving of the breakfasts. The Rev. Charles S. Smith, program director of the center, said other programs are helping to meet the need of the community among youths and adults as well. They include a Head Start program, sponsored by the Task Force for Cooperative Metro politan Ministry on the East Side and the Wider Horizon pro gram that is designed to tutor elementary school children on the one-on-one basis. Also offered are Bible classes, dancing, weaving, sewing, trips, a summer camp, basketball, Code: ping pong, billiards, crafts, volleyball and cooking classes for boys and girls. The Rev. Mr. Smith said the programs are designed to serve the youths as well as the adults in their given boundaries. Senior Citizens usually attend the center during the day when the youths are in school, and the activities offer ed are similar to those offered the youths. “They are still interested in learning to cook special dishes; they enjoy Bible discussions and going to the Science Museum . and some of them serve as volunteers In our youth pro grams,” the clergyman said. He said more than 200 youths . attended the Westminster Sum mer Camp in Angola this summ er and many more participated in trips to the Ontario Museum of Science in Toronto, the science and historical museum is here. A health referral is part of the program offered at the cen ter, the Rev. Mr. Smith said, and testing for sickle cell anemia and venereal disease also are conducted. The Westminster House was formed in 1894 when the community was predominantly German. The center supplied 55 German families with all their needs including medical care that year. In 1896 recreation and athle tic programs were started and in 1898 a branch library was instituted. That same library now is known as the Malcolm — X Library in honor of the civil rights leader who was slain in 1965. Also in 1898, the first kinder garten class in the center was started and in 1908 an employment. office was started. That office was taken over by the New York State Employment — Service in 1938. The Westminster Presbyter ian Church supplied all the financial support for the center — from its Inception until 1965 when the Presbytery of Western New York certified the pro grams and started contributing financial support. IN 1967 the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County joined in with financial support of the organization. Presently, an integrated staff of 14 parttime employes, the director, program director and 10 volunteers administer the programs to an average of 200 persons five days a week. The center is closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Hunger [illegible] 36 9/23/73 One=page 1; TR=trick page; SP-split page; ED-Editorial page.

Locke Jr. In 1894, the Westminster Community House was established to administer relief to 55 German families On Sunday, the facility will celebrate its 80th anni versary still providing needed services to area resi dents. Although the makeup of the neighborhood has changed from a predominantly German community to a predominantly Mack community now, available programs there are still geared to the human needs of the resi dents. Mrs. Carolyn B.‘ Thomas, in terim director of the center who has supervised the planning of the celebration, expects hun dreds of persons who “had pride in our past and faith in our fu ture," to attend the anniver sary program from 2 to 5 Sun day afternoon. Backed by Church The center, originally finan cially supported by Westminster Presbyterian Church, 724 Dela ware, until 1965 when the Pres bytery of Western New York joined in with financial supports is now supported by the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County. When the center was founded, the purpose was to help ease the burden of the Charity Aide Society, which was faced with a grave depression problem at that time. Various programs offered throughout file past 80 years also have been to make the financial burden lighter on other social agencies. But mainly, the programs were designed to pro vide better and needed services to the residents of that com munity. Mrs. Thomas said most of the program participants reside in the area bounded by Broadway, Fillmore, Jefferson Ave., and generally the Kensington Ex pressway. Free, Breakfasts About 80 grade school and junior high school students receive free breakfasts in the facility each morning before going to school. This program was started by the Black Stu dent Union at the University of Buffalo in 1969. The meals are paid for with money received from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA). In Code: addition, some surplus foods, such as frozen orange juice, grapefruit juice, dried milk, peanut butter, flour, oatmeal, rice, ground beef and canned chicken also were provided by USDA. The meals are prepared by Mrs. Alice Reed community volunteer, including mothers of children in the program, serve the meals and clean up the Holmes Room, where the meals are served each school morn ing. Limited Incomes Mrs. Thomas noted that the meals are made available be cause the area consists of fami lies with low and limited in comes she said. In addition, about 70 senior citizens are served free hot lunches five days a week in the center. Elderly persons who are unable to travel to the cen ter each day to eat their meals, receive their meals from a com munity volunteer who delivers them. Aaron Page, comm unity develop ment specialist for the Westmin ster House, devotes 10 per cent of his time administering the senior citizen program. Funds for that program also are provided by the USDA, through the Office of the Aging on Delaware Ave. Head Start The center also offers a Head Start program for about 30 pre school students through the Task Force of Cooperative Urban Min istry, located in Grace United Church of Christ, E. Delavan and Moselle St. That religious group also operates a Wider Horizons Tu torial Reading Program each school day from 3:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M. for grade school children •who have difficulties in reading. Most of the students come from nearby School 41 at 641 Jeffer son Ave., but Mrs. Thomas said students from other nearby schools also participate in the program. Also found in the center is a Planned Parenthood outreach program, operated by Planned Parenthood of Buffalo Inc. Times for Sessions Those sessions are held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 1 to 5 P.M. and Monday evenings from 6:30 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. It has been in operation for seven years, and is one of the first planned parenthood outreach station in Buffalo. The Erie County Health Dept. also operates an outreach sta tion in the center. Persons from that office spend mornings in the center, but in the afternoon, they go from door to door to find persons who may need medical assistance. They then refer them to the appropriate health agency. The center also operates an extensive recreation and group counseling program to teach youths to relate to their peer groups more effectively. Mrs. Thomas said much of their coun selors' efforts is used to aid youths who experience stress and strain that -they feel can be corrected through counsel ing. Recreation The recreation programs inc lude basketball, baseball, box ing and other gymnasium acti vities. The gym, Mrs. Thomas noted, still has the original floor used when recreational and ath letic programs were begun in 1896. A camp program that began in the center during the summer and at Angola on the Lake. West minister Presbyterian Church donated its former camp site to the center last year. Mrs. Tho mas said they have scheduled family and group outings for each weekend during the winter months at the camp site in An gola. Employes from the Task Force of Urban Ministry and the Neighborhood Youth, Corps, a job development program, help to staff the camp programs. Plaque Planned Mrs. Thomas said that in ad dition to celebrating the center’s anniversary, they will unveil a plaque in the honor of Miss Elizabeth A. Roblin, executive director of the center from 1933 to 1965, when she retired. She died two weeks ago. Many community volunteers, including Mrs. Willa Folmar, who earlier this year organized youths and cleaned the streets after the area went uncleaned for an extended period or time have joined in the planning of the celebration. The Rev. Thomas Stewart pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church, the founding church, will review some high lights of the center. Wade Russell is general chair man, Mrs. Mamye Workman is cochairman, Mrs. Jane Morris principal of School 41, is chair man of historical research and James C. Jackson is publicity chairman. Other contributors are Mrs. Geneva Scruggs, Mrs. Ruth Wil liams, Mrs. Ora Lee Lewis Miss Lorayne Simmons, group worker, Thurman Leigh, pro gram director, and Miss Trina Perry, a youth volunteer.

Minority Student Affairs Entering Third World Students, take notice. Let me, the Minority Student Affairs Coordinator, be among the first to welcome you to Buffalo. Perhaps in look ing around the campus you will find that we are a very small minority. I beg of you, don’t let that throw you. In recent years, we have made our position on education very clear and very loud. We have become aware of our needs and are doing something about them. Your presence here is proof of that, and the increase in our number each year is significant. Again, I beg you. Do not enter SUNY at Buffalo feel ing as if our small number puts us at a disadvantage. We an intelligent, and eager-for-education people, slowly becom ing aware of our heritage, our culture - a proud heritage, a proud culture. We must set an example, light a torch in the wilderness at Black progress in America. In so doing, we help to secure 34. �Black progress on a world-wide basis. Show our younger brothers that no matter how out-numbered we are, we are eager to learn, eager to set an example that they will strive to imitate, better than that, surpass. So hang tough, Sisters and Brothers, the road toward your degree is not an easy one, but one that I am sure we will all travel proudly, true to our strong and noble forefathers who have fought for equality, more, supremacy, since the beginning of the Black man’s arrival in America. There is so much more to gain, though the way be tough, in graduating (with honors) than in quitting. The quitter loses all. A 35.

A surging crowd of about 1,000 students broke seven windows, tore the latch out of a door and ripped a water fountain from a wall in Clark Hall when they were denied admission to a dance because the dance hall was already filled to capacity. Black Student Union UB spokesman James R. De Santis said the two student or ganizations which sponsored the dance, the Black Student Union and the University Activity Board, have liability insurance that will cover the damage costs. DeSantis said he doubted any disciplinary action will be taken in connection with the incident, stating. “The crowd outside was so big it was impossible to iden tify anyone.’’ CEX 37 2/22/76 Code: One=page 1; TR=trick page; SP=split page; ED=Editorial page; SPO=sports page; SO-society page; RTV=radio-TV column or supplement; MAG=supplement. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Spokesman for the Black and Puerto Rican Student Unions and the International Student Organization say they will picket the theater before the show begins at 3:30 P.M. The principal objection to the performance. according to Edward Guilty. coordinator of minority affairs for the State Student Assn., is that minority students were not involved in the planning. Racial Objection Another objection, Guilty said is that of the three principal performers, only one isblack although the she is aimed at a largely black audience. The black perimer, he said, is Norman Comers, a “soul music" singer. Other performers on the bill are Vicky Sue Robinson. also a singer, and Davis Sanborn and his band. Jeff Lessoff, erector of the University Union Activities Board UUAB which is sponsoring the concert, claimed that although Sanborn is white, members of his band are black. He said Miss Robinson is a mulatto. “It’s ridiculous to think that this is not a minority concert,” he said. “All these groups have hit records on the rhythm and blues charts.” Lessoff said that generally buyers of records in that chart are black. Few Blacks on Panel He said the music committee which, picked the groups is open to all stuck its, but that few blacks became involved. Lessoff said the decision to schedule the concert art in the downtown Buffalo Theater rather than on the campus was because $1,800 damage was done to Clark Gymnasium when a concert for minorities was held there last year.

The promise was made jointly by Mayor Stanley M. Makowski and City Comptroller George D. O’Connell, who were confronted by some 20 independent demolition contractors complain ing of delayed payments for work completed. The contractors hinted that if the city did not speed up its inspections and subsequent pay ments, they would look else where for work. At the same time Monday, Mayor Makowski received a letter from the Black People's Library which offered volun teers to help the city inspect and identify blighted buildings. The organization is operated by the Black Student Union and Third World Veterans Alliance from the Universityof Buffalo Makowskisaid he wasunsure Monday how the volunteers could be best utilized in his war on blight, but promised a prompt response. The payments problem outlined by the contractors was that city Inspections and Licenses inspectors and the Comptroller’s inspectors were not viewing completed demolitions in any systematic way. As a result, the contractors said they sometimes complete a job, have it approved by the I&L inspectors but- are told weeks later that the Comptrol ler’s Audit inspectors have found problems and would not approve payment. The contractors say the prob lems, such as illegal dumping and abandoned cars, occur on the graded lots after the I&L inspectors; have approved the job. The mayor and the comp troller said they would cooper ate to improve the inspections and payments system.

BEN 2/13/70 pg. 36 $14,000 Given for Breakfasts The State University of Buf falo's Student Association has given an additional $14,000 to the Black Student Union's Breakfast for Children" gram, Pro The Buffalo Evening News learned today. Carole Osterer, treasurer of the Student Association, told The News that the money was given “around .the end of January.” UB students earlier defeated two proposals to give $28,000 to the controversial breakfast pro gram, but approved a third ear marking no specific amount of money. When the Black Student Union Initiated the program in Septem ber, the Student Association’s finance committee granted it $5200. Referendum Voided. However, early- in November the organizers of -the program requested more money, and a general referendum was uled for Nov. 20 and 21 on a sched proposal to give an additional $28,000. But on Nov. 21 Student Judiciary Justice Yigal Joseph voided the referendum. He acted on a Complaint filed by Anne Clifford, student elections committee chairman, who charged both sides with illegally attempting to influence voters in the vicinity of the polling place. A second referendum was scheduled for Dec. 11 and 12. There were two questions on this referendum. The first, reading "Should $28,000 be allocated to the BSU Breakfast for Children program by the Student Association?” was defeated 1549 to 1003. Feeds 170 Children However, the second question, reading "Should some funds be allocated to the BSU breakfast program by the Student ciation?" was approved by a Asso vote of 1705 to 846. Miss Osterer told The News that since the student body voted "No” on a proposal to give the program $28,000 but "Yes” on a proposal to give it some money, the Student Co-ordinating Com mittee felt that $14,000 would be a fair amount. The breakfast program, which is conducted by the BSU, at Westminster House, 42.1 Monroe St., feeds a hot breakfast to about 170 children daily. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The program provides breakfasts for economically underprivileged school children in the Westminister House, 421 Adams St. The program, which began last October, was initially funded by contributions and by a $3000 grant from the Student Association. Students defeated a referendum to allocate $28,000 to the BSU last Dec. 12, however, a second referendum passed allowing the SA to allocate “some” funds to the program. Total support from the SA totalled $19,000. Donations of more than $18,000 were given by the community and outside sources. In addition, the Veterans Club donated $600 to the program from its treasury surplus. Some contributions seem to be “token” in nature, however. According to Charles Aughtry, leader of the BSU Breakfast program, A & P Food stores have contributed about $3 worth of bread, Harvest Best Food stores gave approximately $5 worth of bread, while Acme Food Markets donated nearly $10. Commenting on these donations, Mr. Aughtry said: “They exploit black people every day. They should give us part of the spoils.” Mr. Aughtry observed that the attitude of the community of blacks, Puerto Ricans, Indians and some poor whites toward the program is “favorable and not apathetic.” However, he said that University students who voted against the $28,000 appropriation are “ignorant of the fact that kids have to eat.” He also said that he noticed some emnity on the part of the children towards the students when they were told of the referendum results. Hunger pains The Breakfast Program, Mr. Aughtry explained, feeds 180 to 206 children per meal at a cost of about $.70 to $.80 each. The children’s meals are planned by a dietician from Millard Fillmore Hospital with some assistance from the staff of the State University of Buffalo Food Service. The need for the program was explained by Percy Lambert, president of the BSU. “We found out that kids don’t do well in school because their mothers are unable to offer them a decent breakfast in the morning. So when these kids are in school, they are concentrating on the hunger pains in their stomachs instead of the schoolwork on the board,” he said. Along with the free meal, comes a diet of philosophy and political teachings introducing the children to “the philosophy of Black Consciousness,” Mr. Aughtry said. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In a letter to Mayor Makow ski and 10 of the city’s 15 coun cilmen, Hugh E. Bassette, supervisor of the group, said: "Since the major reason for the housing blight seems to be a lack of manpower, we can provide individuals who are willing to volunteer their time in the inspection process as well as helping to locate ab sentee landlords.” The Library is operated by the Black Student Union and Third World Veterans Alliance from the StateUniversity of Buffalo.

Therefore the matter of allocating money for the BSU’s Breakfast for Children program will be taken up at next Monday’s Polity meeting. The Polity voted Monday to help finance the Black Student Union’s breakfast program. The program - which feeds approximately 140 black youths every morning before their school day begins - is operating on a $32,000 budget for this school year. However, since part of the school year is over, the program will only be funded for the remainder of the year. Student Association President, Bill Austin estimated the cost to be “about $23,000.” In addition to funding by Polity, Mr. Austin said: “I’ll be approaching the administration for funds as well as local banks and businesses now that Polity is on record in favor of it (the breakfast program).” Emergency meeting The allocation to the Black Student Union was approved at a special emergency meeting of the Polity. Mr. Austin, who appeared pleased, said: “It (the Polity meeting) was the first...which had a balance of the two major forces on campus, the BSU and the Students for Democratic Society.” Ad proposal defeated Also, an attempt to buy a full-page ad in the New York Times was defeated when no one appeared at the microphones to speak either for or against the motion. Proponents of buying the advertisement wanted to reprint the cover of the October Dimension, the monthly feature magazine of The Spectrum. Dimension dealt with American militarism. The cover photographically depicted the life of a soldier from youth. The last picture in the series showed the soldier lying dead. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Voting booths have been Assured and strict procedures will be followed. The controversial bill would give $28,000 to the student-community project that already provides morning meals for 160 to 180 children. The assistant chairman of the Black Student Union breakfast program committee, Rosemary Cadney, said the program, which began in October, would need the Student Association funds to continue until the end of the school year in June. The original enterprise began when University of Buffalo students from the B.S.U. began working with several people in the Black community to organize a hot breakfast service for young children. Miss Cadney said, “The idea came from the Panther Party program,” which provides similar services. 20 UB volunteers With $3,000 from the Student Association and about $1,600 from private donations, about 20 UB volunteers have been working daily to provide the hot meals at the Westminster Community Center. None of the workers, including two women from the community, are paid, and meals are only served on days when the children, kindergarten through sixth grade, attend school. “Occasionally on snow days we still cook breakfast,” Miss Cadney commented, as the workers start at 6:00 A.M. before school closings are announced. “In that case we serve whoever comes in.” On regular days the volunteers work from 6:00 to 10:00 A.M. and the children start coming about 8:15. Miss Cadney’s duties include purchasing the weekly stores of food such as grits, eggs, juice, bread and milk. The cost per child is $.70 per day. The $28,000 would allow this program to continue until June. “Then in September,” the B.S.U. representative said, “the Buffalo city schools will start their own breakfast program.” Education and recreation The Westminster Community Center, which has housed the morning gatherings for the past two months, also provides educational and recreational activities. There are classes for young people and bowling and basketball facilities at the Monroe Street center. Possible expansion of the present program has been considered in other parts of the community. A grill and refrigerator have been added to the present facilities. If the students vote “no” on the referendum, Miss Cadney stated that the B.S.U. will “work for more private donations from private business.” [Midnight Oil 12/11/69] � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The referendum will be rescheduled by the Student Coordinating Council. In a tersely worded statement, the student court cited bi-partisan harassment of voters on both sides of the question near the election tables as the cause for invalidation. In addition, the court recommended that “the Student Association hold future elections in voting booths to protect against electioneering.” Further, the court recommended that “the Student Association should disseminate clear and objective information with respect to the Student Association budget for this election. It should be made clear that the monies to be allocated will go to the “Breakfast Program” as sponsored by the Black Student Union, and not allocations to the Black Student Union.” Student Judge Yigal Joseph explained that there was some confusion as to how much money would be left in the Student Association budget if the full $28,000 allocation was made to the Breakfast Program. He added that “people should know exactly what the budget is and draw their own inferences.” The court was called to deliberation following a formal complaint by Anne Clifford, chairman of the Student Elections Committee. Campus police were then-called by the Student Judiciary to guard the election results. The final tabulations were frozen until after the student court had met and voted on the matter. Invalidating the election, the court also criticized the Student Association for once again ‘fumbling’ an election. The Black Student Union’s Breakfast for Children Program provides 200 black grade school children with breakfast each morning. The children come to the Westminister House on Monroe St. where they are served a meal of cereal, milk, juice and toast by black college volunteers. The $28,000 allocation by the Student Association would have funded the program for remainder of the year. It was voted for at the Nov. 10 Polity meeting. A petition mandated by 283 students called for a referendum on the question. The petition calling for the referendum objected to the ratification of the breakfast program allocation “on the grounds that it (the allocation) will greatly hinder the ability of the Student Association to function properly, as almost no money will be left for the rest of the academic year.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

University of Buffalo’s Black Students Union is erasing this problem for about 130 pupils a day through its free breakfast program each morning in West minster House, 421 Monroe St. The Program is financed through a $3,500 grant by the UB Student Assn. It began three weeks ago and the initial grant is down to about $1,500. Com munity and civic response has been slow, but, says Mrs. Ka rene Asbury, 21, of 437 Hum boldt Parkway., a senior majoring in history: “We’re going to keep this go ing through sheer determina tion; we’ll find the funds some way.” The BSU has some 1,000 mem bers, and about 10 to 20 partici pate in serving breakfast each day. whether the children ate at home and are coming here for seconds,’ we don’t turn anyone away,” added Mrs. Asbury.

"We do most of our purchas ing through ‘Echo,’ a black co operative program, because we have learned that most food stores in black areas over charge their customers,” she added, continuing: "We Plan to expand this program to a second location in January, and we’d also like to begin consumer education courses based on what we’ve learned through shopping for food for the program.” Another positive result of the program, Rasheim said, is “the growth of valuable relationships between young children and students.” He said he did not believe the youngsters know the older students attend college, "The First of us get here so there is probably not much at 6:15 A.M.,” explained Charles emphasis on education.

Elaborating on what promoted this program, Percy Lambert, presi dent of the Black Student Union said: “We found out that kids don’t do well in school because their mothers are unable to offer them a decent breakfast in the morning.” “So when these kids are in school, they are concentrating on the hunger pains in their stomachs instead of the schoolwork on the board,” he explained. In addition to the food costs for the program, Mr. Lambert cited another financial burden: “We had to buy a refrigerator for the West minister House because the one they had was inadequate for our needs.” “The government has been in sensitive to the needs of the people,” he continued. “The government has cut back on wel fare and our people are just barely able to live off of it. We are trying to set up a sort of emergency fund for the people of the community. We must help the community. It is our duty to attune ourselves to the needs of the people.” Black Student Union, but since they gave us less money than we asked for, we will need donations from individual people and from organizations to keep the program going.” “We might go to the next Polity meeting and ask for some money,” Mr. Lambert added. “We are also setting up a list of sources that we will go to for assistance. We will seek every source of help that is available to us, and that means every source.” Revolutionary program “There is a possibility that we would be getting food from the Department of Agriculture, but we think that the government will not risk contradicting themselves for the needs of the people. They can burn excess food, but they can’t give it to the people because it will hurt the economy. Most probably, we will be getting our food from Ecco, which is a co-op that is lo cated in the community itself,” he explained. Commenting on the possibility of getting help from businesses in the community such as A&P, Mr. Lambert stressed: “The A&P is like all white businesses. They are only concerned with making a profit over the people.” “They steal from our commu nity.” he said “and when they are asked to return it by helping, they refuse. The A&P gives ten dollars a year. We have not as yet decided on our action if the A&P doesn’t help us.” Seeks community involvement “Although the program will only serve about 100 children, gen erally in the Westminister House Emphasizing that “this is a revo area,” Mr. Lambert said, “BSU hopes to expand it into a commu lutionary program,” Mr. Lambert insisted: “We are going to make it nity-wide project. hard to say ‘no’ to a BSU member, “Right now,” he remarked, as it is hard to say ‘no’ to a Black “only BSU is involved, but eventu Panther.

At the University of Cal At the University of ifornia at Santa Barbara, a Minnesota, 50 students occupied black student was arrested at the office of Admissions and a rally for using an allegedly Records after failing to reach obscene word. The Black agreement with President Malcolm Student Union held a rally Moos over black demands, and at the next day and led the the predominantly Negro University in Ohio, crowd of 1500 in a cheer: Wilberforce classes were suspended while “One, two, three, fuck!” No administrators worked out one was arrested. grievances concerning disciplinary A speaker at the rally commented on the lunacy of arresting students for “saying the word ‘fuck’ when the real obscenities are words like kill, murder, napalm and Vietnam.” And others, remarking on how they had used the same words in lecture halls without being stopped by the police said: “The real question is, is there any free speech on this fucking campus?” The Black Student Union at Santa Barbara had formed a United Front with the United Mexican-American Students and Students for a Democratic Society to press their demands to the administration. Among these were revoking the warrant of the BSU member charged with obscenity, issuing a statement of no-censhorship-oncampus, forbidding police on campus, hiring blacks in the Athletic Department, hiring Mexican-American counselors, establishing a community relations program and creating Black Studies and Mexican-American Studies departments. Panthers shot The same week, at the UC campus at Los Angeles, two black student members of the Black Panther Party were shot to death after leaving a meeting called to di‘scuss the school’s new Afro-American Center. The two, John Huggins and Alprentice Carter, had supported the UCLA Black Student Union in the group’s opposition to the community steering committee for the center. The committee had appointed a director for the center not approved by the BSU, and this became the focal point of the struggle between the Panthers and the group supporting the committee, US, led by Ron Karenga. US is a defender of “cultural nationalism” and opposes the Panther’s politically revolutionary stand. Two brothers in US, George and Larry Stiner, have been arrested by the police in connection with the murders. A Panther spokesman has said that his group considers “four people responsible, and we’re holding Ron Karenga responsible too.” At San Francisco State College and Berkeley, protests go on. Last Thursday, police on horseback broke up demonstrations at SF State after the Superior Court issued a restraining order forbidding students to picket on campus and limiting the number of pickets outside to five per entrance. By noon, 500 were picketing. At Berkeley, police in wedges broke into the crowds after 1,000 strikers marched across the campus to Sproul Hall. They were enforcing an order against the obstruction of campus entrances by pickets. Friday, February 7, 1969 cases. A fire had destroyed the student union there the week before. Brandeis disrupted Students were ending their disruptions at colleges in the East. At Brandeis University, 75 black students occupied a building for ten days and renamed it Malcolm X University. They agreed to leave in exchange for amnesty, after finding President Morris Abram unresponsive to their demands. One student noted that the action had “exposed to the nation the inability of one of the most well-known liberal colleges in America to deal constructively with racism.” The group has not given up on its demands, but intends to continue the fight. “At present,” a member of the Afro-American Organization said, “the setting of the university does not allow us the academic freedom so sorely needed for our development as black people.” Among the demands is the establishment of an African and Afro-American Studies department. The Brandeis students intend to establish a Malcolm X Univer sity in Roxbury, Boston’s ghetto. They have won their demand for a Black Studies department on cam pus. At another well-known school, Swarthmore College, the Afro -American Students Society held a burning-in-effigy of the college and then occupied a building dur ing the early days of January. Their action was terminated by the sudden death of President Courtney Smith, after a week of meetings and discussion had shaken the school out of its cust omary apathy. Similarly roused from indifference were those at Queens College in New York, where black and Puerto Rican students in the program known as SEEK — Search for Elevation, Education and Knowledge — sat in, at, and finally stormed, the office of SEEK Director Joseph Mulholland. The students and staff members involved in SEEK, which is funded by the state to help the underprivileged through tutorials and financial assistance, were demanding autonomy for the program. A leader of the protest said that it had become “a vehicle for white employment and racism. It provides an education geared to the white experience alone, and that’s not all there is.” The SEEK students at Queens have separate classes and meet in a building off the main campus. Mulholland has been charged with discriminatory hiring practices and mismanagement of funds, although one white called his “irrelevant to the whole thing — like Archduke Ferdinand was irrelevant to World War I.” Although some whites support the demands, they have been asked not to enter the dispute by SEEK people themselves. At Pennsylvania State University, the black students’ Douglas Association used unconventional tactics to achieve their aims. They were demanding the admission of 1,000 blacks, increased University assistance to these students, and the hiring of black faculty members. Nearly 100 marched into the office of President Walker and silently built a brick wall of three feet topped by a single black brick, with a note attached: “Next time we won’t build a wall.” The wall was to symbolize the breakdown of communication between the blacks and the administration. The Douglas students then appealed to state legislators in Harrisburg. Some legislators have threatened to withhold University appropriations unless the demands are met and black enrollment increased, and announced their intention to launch an investigation of Penn State’s policies on admission and faculty hiring. SUNY victory The Black Student Alliance at SUNY at Albany won a victory Jan. 13 when President Evan Collins agreed to their demands. These were the institution of a course in Afro-American history for the spring semester, 1969; the establishment of an Afro-American Studies department by fall, and the enrollment of 300 minority-group students next year. The BSA is to play a major role in the choosing of instructors and students and the establishing of curriculum. In 1967, there were less than 20 blacks at Albany. They formed the BSA and won the admission of 200 additional blacks by 1968. They began to agitate for black history courses and mobilized white support on this issue. The administration signed the demands when the students threatened a takeover of the president’s office. The black students want to make their department “relevant not only to black students, but also to our brothers and sisters in the community.” One BSA member said: “We support all people controlling the institutions that affect their lives.” “To bring about those goals,” he continued, “people are justified in using any means necessary.” The students are scheduled to meet Wednesday with President Collins to begin work on implementation. Harvard report Harvard University, which has not had black student agitation on its stately campus, has published a report recommending the establishment of a Black Studies Program, and intends to implement the recommendation. A student at Harvard will be able to major in Afro-American Studies in addition to any concentration in other fields he might have, and would receive a degree in it. The report also urged the creation of a black cultural center, similar to Hillel House or Newman Center, and pressed for additional Negro graduate students on fellowships. The report was the work of a faculty panel which had spent nine months studying and talking to black students at Harvard. The committee found the students concerned with the same problems as whites - course Inside Brandeis building offerings, social and cultural life, inter-university relationships and university-community relations — but recognized a profound difference in outlook and needs. “The desire for some ‘all black experience’,” the report stated, “is reflected in the almost unanimous desire of black students for an exchange program between Harvard-Radcliffe and black Southern colleges.” Roy Wilkins, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has announced his opposition to the creation of Black Studies Departments and black dormitories. He said that the NAACP is planning to take the students’ demands to court, if necessary, to combat what he calls “simply another version of segregation and Jim Crow.” He believes that the courts will find such demands illegal by the same token that segregation by whites was declared illegal in 1954. He warned of the danger of a minority group talking about “separation and apartheid.” Wilkins’ comment on black militants — “They ought to be in the library studying to get a degree, so they could do some good” — sounded ironically like the words of California Gov. Ronald Reagan, who told a cheering crowd last week that he had “run out of give” to campus militants and “there will be no capitulation.” Opposing the Wilkins viewpoint was Roy Innis of the Congress of Racial Equality, who considers the demands legitimate and has pledged CORE to the defense of the students should the NAACP bring court action against the creation of all-black programs. Students camp inside Ford Hall at Brandeis University almost a month ago.

A3 Students Defeat UB Breakfasts For Black Children [A3] Students at the State University of Buffalo have defeated a proposal to allocate $28,000 to the Black Student Union’s “Breakfast for Children" program by a vote of 1548 to 1003.

Program . head Charles Autrey, 19, a freshman at the University said “we’ll have to. look to the people of Buffalo the community to help now. The university has proven that it wants nothing to do with it.” Mr. Autrey, previously said that, the breakfast treasury contained $3000 of the original $5200 allocated to the program by stu dent association funds. Mr. Autrey also said that because of the program’s rapid expansion, food expenses are currently $750 a week.

Eve, Democrat, of Buffalo, said Wednesday that some police men use much greater severity and “muscle” in law enforce ment in the black community than they do when dealing with whites. He made the comment at a Black Studies workshop conducted by the social studios department- at Bishop O'Hern High School. As an example, Eve recalled the recent shooting of a black youth by a white policeman not with the officer’s sendee re volver but with a .351 magnum an oversized handgun that inflicted a serious wound. 400 at Workshop About 400 students from di ocesan and public high schools attended the workshop, ar ranged by Stephen Mann, social studies chairman at Bishop O’Hern. Yvonne Breckenridge and Mary Santa Maria served as student coordinators. The list of speakers included Mrs. Dorothy Hill, job coordi nator for the Community Ac tion Organization; Mrs. Vivian Dixon, orientation and sensi tivity specialist; Everett Willi ams, director of the teacher aide program for the city’s Board of Education; Miss Pat Hunter, a premedical student at the University of Buffalo, and Roosevelt Rhodes, president of UB’s Black Students Union. Black Involvement They generally agreed that involvement in interracial af fairs offers the best weapon for overcoming prejudice. Several speakers also maintained that the black man no longer relies on the white for help but be lieves now that only a change in white attitudes can produce any meaningful relationship be tween the two. Among topics discussed were “Exploring the Roots of Preju dice,” “Interracial Marriage,” “Black Accomplishments in Athletics and the Arts” and “Black Educational Oppor tunity.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Your hatchet men have committed while you have omitted. You have turned your head while: 1. Professor Gayles is terminated in Music (yet Professor Halstead remains) Professor Gayles cannot go. 2. Professor David Banks is discriminated against and denied tenure. He is eligible and has to get tenure. 3. Mrs. Eddins was forced out of the School of Nursing. She is being considered for an appointment full-time in Black Studies. We students wish one extra line for two courses: "Halth Related Problems in the Black Community," and Social Problems in the Black Community." We need a minority line for this course to be taught by her. We do not wish to use the line vacated by James Miller for this purpose. We are interviewing Afro-American males, with Ph.D's,to fill James Miller's Faculty line. We demand an additional line. 4. Dr. Arthur Anderson was unduly eased out of the Cooperative Community College. His elimination was justified on some tremulous grounds of alleged errors. (As if white administrators have not even unwisely spent University funds. Somehow 'errors' are a privilege of the Ruling white overlords.) He was replaced by a female administrative assistant yet Mrs. Arnold was considered ineligible for EPIS. 5. Mrs. Arnold, who had acted as Director for EPIS was shoved out under pretext that she was never officially appointed (This, despite the fact that she had been an efficient assistant to Mr. Peasant and had covered the Program for over half of the semester with staff and student support). further: Attempts have been made to harass Mrs. Arnold out of her job, declare her inefficient, and to force her off the Campus. Mrs. Arnold had greater credibility or at least as much as Dr. Anderson's replacement (or any other like administrative replacement in the university). Mrs. Arnold cannot be forced out of the university. �6. Mrs. Emma Reynolds was forced out of EPIS (for whatever reasons) in such a manner that she is ineligible for unemployment benefits. A termina tion date, 4-6 weeks later would have avoided this personal tragedy. Mrs. Reynolds was no less efficient than the counsellors who left behind. The students gained more from her than some who have been left behind. Despite petitions there was no response to students' requests for reconsideration of her. Who will fall next by the "efficiency experts" hands? What redress do you have for those abused during this school year? Further: You have turned your head while: A Black Pyramid is created on this dampus — a veritable university within a university. This Black Pyramid relieves you and the unyielding racest faculties from having to truly integrate. Rather than integrate with minorities there has been a creation of a Black ghetto within the University system with its new assistants to imperialistic bureaucracies sanctioned and manipulated to manipulate us for the Administration. We have seen this strategy of contain ment before. We are being tricked into taking unjust orders because the messengers that bring them are of our own. We are not satisfied with the token placement of Black faces in either departments or administrative positions. Lines of communication do not flow upwards in the minority pyramid. Orders flow down through it from the white overlords. For these grievances we, the minority people, have cons tituted ourselves as our own committee on minority affairs ad vising you to address yourself to these problems. Knowing the tactic of "setting up an advisory commission to solve the crises among the natives;" we, the minority population at U.B. constituted ourselves as the Commission. �We have decided to offer the solutions: Administrative Structure 1. Minority Students Office: Set up a committee to review by the 15th of April, yearly, the compliance of each Faculty and department within the University to Office of Equal Opportunity guidelines. The committee should.be composed of minority faculty and students from the various segments of the university. This committee shall be established by the minority faculty and students and have four representatives on the Univer sity wide compliance (or affirmative action) body.(Describ ed under Office of Equal Opportunity, OEO) Restructuring of Minority Programs Into One Black Pyramid We feel minority programs are being structured into a segregationist concentration plan where the university appoints oversears under the guise of efficiency to remove the sizeable representation of minorities from the campus. This plantation, style operation is an evasion of integration. Minority admini strators are to be as accountable to the minority population on this campus as are the white faculty and students. White provosts, chairmen and representatives to the various structures of power are voted upon or at least move up in the structure through affirmation from their colleagues and cons tituency. However, the university insists on containing minorities by imposing "white approved" administrators upon the minority students and faculty. �As of this day: Minority Faculty by vote shall have determination on candidates for administrative positions in all parallel situations where white faculty vote for white administrators. Candidates for top administrative posts, who are brought in should be introduced to the minority faculty through at least two weeks advanced review of vitae. In interview ses sions conducted with the administration, the minority faculty will have 2/3 representatives and two students or be permit ted to hold an interview separately. An advisory decision will be sent to the President from the minority faculty of the minority student unions as a group advice after these inter views. Minority Student Welfare 1. Orientation Program Each year the Office of Minority Students Affairs with the minority student unions (PODER, BSU and Indian Students Associa tion) should have funds for a week long orientation program for in-coming minority students. (A) Here there should be an input from the University Placement Office to provide information on the long range predictions on job opportunities and to familia rize students with functioning of that office. This would have to be conducted by minority and a white officer from University Placement and a representa tive from Minority Student Affairs Office. The white officer should be of the senior staff in Placement who have facts to offer. �1. Orientation Program (cont’d.) (B) Through the Minority Student Affairs Office and Minority Students Associations, a series of work shops to familiarize students with the departments, their requirements, and the types of occupations possible for graduates in each area. Remediation Relatively uncomplicated, less expensive and above all, integrated remedial programs, which would be effective, could be implemented through key departments. 1. Remedial courses do not have to form a segregated block within the university as if only minorities need remediation. The Department of English should attach a component of minority faculty to give an intensive program in Grammer Comprehension (not Black literature) and speed reading. The student would be required to take these two courses if his reading level fell be low scores provided by a generally administered test for Blacks and whites. The University would be responsible for emphasising that this be a quality grammar and comprehension course. During that semester, students would be permitted to take one course less and have two-2 hour sessions every other day for a total of six class room hours per week. Students would be tested at the end of the semester and be allowed to repeat this course once without credit penalty. If remediation is found necessary in natural sciences, then mathematics and physical science departments s hould serve these functions in the manner that the English Department would do. We object to being set off as intellectually incapacitated. There are whites with disadvantaged backgrounds. �A Tenure Review Committee: for Minorities Such a committee shall be established with two minority representatives from the faculty within which minority candidate comes; two advisory minority representatives from outside the University of Buffalo who are established in the academic area of the candidate, and any tenured, minority member of the de partment from which the candidate comes.This be [The constituted group committee willinto send consultations with its vote to the President. If the departmental vote differs, then the Minority Tenure Committee shall meet with the Departments Committee, the President, and an officer from the Compliance Body discussed herein. If there is a grievance then it passes into the compliance office if not it return to the President for decision. Grievances A minority Grievance Board will be established through elections by minority faculty and students. They may hear separately minority grievances and will be represented at every proceeding by the main university Grievance Body. The list of members will change annually as elections should be held annually. There shall be a list of 12 members, [illegible] Blacks, 4 Puerto Ricans, [il egible] Indians, [the representation of each group to be determined in consultation with the Office of Equal Opportunity.] For each hearing there should be a body of six. There should be a representative from each group with one faculty and one student, wherever such faculty are available. At least two faculty should always be pre sent in the group of six. They may hear minority student grievances and faculty grievances. On faculty grievances Faculty representation should be at least 2/3 of the group vice-versa for stu dents. �The Faculty Senate The structure of the Faculty Senate demanding representa tives by intent or oversight excludes representation from [illegible] minority components. A minority faculty from each Faculty shall be present in the faculty Senate (specifically Blacks, Indians and Puerto Ricans) Curriculum Review Committees of Faculties Since Puerto Rican Studies and Black Studies Faculty are not justly represented on. these committees. We are stat ing that this is discriminatory. It allows traditional departments to vote on courses clearly duplicating the content of these Programs and also does not allow for supportive discussion for courses coming from these components. The university knew these faculty were not group to be [illegible] tenured when they were admitted. There fore, non-tenure is not justification. In any event under any circumstances the Curriculum Review Committees shall have a minority voice (i.e., Black, Puerto Rican and Indians). �University Services University Placement This office has been approached and have given the usually "liberal run-around." We need two minority placement officers as of this budget year who are experienced with the nature of job market. Housing If there is racial conflicts in the dorms, why has this been hidden from the public? A committee of minority students and Black faculty should be set up to investigate the problem and offer solutions. This committee should be among names submitted to you by the Black students and faculty. In the same manner that Search Committees are established. Beyond this we wish to have a written commitment from the university ensuring housing for minorities in the new university complex. Amherst Site The university is being asked to state in writing unequivo cally, where it plans to locate Black Studies, Puerto Rican Studies and EPIS on the new site. Black Studies Department include (A) African Studies in essentially white controlled turf. (B) will expand into a Caribbean Studies component. (C) will be allowed to develop an inter-disciplinary graduate program. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

At that point, he knew a distinction needed to be made. Oliver, a senior business and internation al studies major, resigned as BSU president on Dec. 9, just five days after BSU’s execu tive board unanimously voted that he had not carried out the duties and responsibili ties as president, according to Oliver. Oliver spoke to The Spectrum about his resignation after delaying comment origi nally. Although the vote did not mean Oliver had to resign, he felt it was best. "A part of the resignation was that there were differences in strategies and approach es in how the organization] would pursue its goals,” he said. “But that’s the essence of student organizations. We’re all grow ing and learning. Unfortunately, I just don’t think my leadership in particular is what the executive board wanted.” In his letter of resignation, Oliver wrote, “I am not able to fathom this unfavorable evaluation, nor am I able to recollect a time when I was given adequate feedback, con structive criticism or an opportunity to im prove upon any areas of concern.” The BSU e-board denied comment re garding Oliver’s comments, but new Presi dent Deidree Golbuorne told The Spectrum last week that Oliver stepping down was an “internal change” that wouldn’t affect fu ture club events. Golbuorne has stepped into the role of president and Samirra Felix was elected vice president on Feb. 1. Oliver emphasized that although his res ignation is unfortunate, it is not the first time a student has decided to step down from an organization. Tiffany Vera, former BSU secretary, Kainan Guo, The Spectrum Micah Oliver, former Black Student Union president, stands in Jacobs Management Center. Oliver resigned from BSU on Dec. 9 after the executive board voted he did not carry out his duties as president. signed two days after Oliver. re In Vera’s letter of resignation, she wrote, “I am not confident that the organization will follow through with the progress and the level of professionalism that the former president [Oliver] personified.” Vera said she opened herself to direct criti cism with the e-board regarding her duties as secretary. Two out of the 13 e-board mem bers directly contacted her, but other than that, she said all she received was either “pas sive aggressive feedback or indirect contact.” Kevin Appiah-Kubi, BSU’s former his torian who resigned on Oct. 14 due to cir cumstances outside of BSU, said he was shocked when he heard news of Oliver and Vera’s resignations. “Micah was a respectable president and made the club have more visibility,” he said. Unlike Vera, Appiah-Kubi said he be lieves the new e-board has “everything un der control” and he has no hard feelings to ward any of the members. Oliver said he did not know the vice pres ident election would be held on Feb. 1. Al though he does not expect to be a part of the rearranging of the e-board, he said he wished he could have used the election as an opportunity to address his resignation to the general body. But Oliver is not completely done with BSU. He still plans on attending events and meetings as any other undergraduate student. “I’m a student like anyone else is a stu dent and this is a decision that I made for my academic career and I just ask that it be respected,” he said. BSU president hasn’t been the only job Oliver has taken on. He is also a community assistant in Cam pus Living, a UB 101 peer mentor and an un dergraduate research assistant in the commu nication department. He is also the Studentw ide Judiciary chief justice and formerly part of UB’s Division 1 track and field program. Oliver is also actively involved in the Of fice of the President and the Office of Eq uity, Diversion and Inclusion. “But my busy schedule has no effect on my resignation,” he said. “It didn’t deter me and it didn’t play a role in my final decision.” Beth Del Genio, chief of staff to the president, worked closely with Oliver in cre ating educational-based programs around equity, inclusion and diversity for the new general education requirements along with a College of Arts and Sciences policy re garding campus art installations. Continued On Page 2 �Oliver speaks on decision to step down as BSU president Continued From Page 1 “As a student leader, he was always well-pre pared for discussion and encouraged open-dia logue among university leadership and student leadership,” Del Genio said in an email. Oliver said he has always emphasized the importance of the members’ education in every e-board meeting. He also said some people might not realize how important his family is to him. “I pride myself in being a good brother and son, and last semester I lost myself in all of that,” he said. “I look forward to having more time to enjoy my family and friends beyond college and boardroom meetings.” Oliver said he’s appreciative of the re lationships he’s developed throughout his time as president. E-board members, UB faculty and staff have played a large role in handling last semester’s incidents — such as the “White Only” and “Black Only” signs, the open forum and the protest at President Satish Tripathi’s annual address. Vera said that despite her experience on the e-board, she has “immense amount of love and respect” for BSU. Oliver said he would challenge members to pursue the principle goals of the organization. “I hope that one day, black students across the country will choose to go to UB because they see how active BSU has been on this cam pus,” he said. “That would make me proud.” email: gabriela.julia@ubspectrum.com Kainan Guo, The Spectrum Oliver said he’s appreciative of the relationships he's made during his time as president and plans to attend BSU meetings and events as any other undergraduate student. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Tori Roseman Senior Features Editor Micah Oliver has resigned from his position as Black Student Union (BSU) president. Deidree Golbourne, formerly BSU’s vice president, has stepped into the role of presi dent and on Monday night, BSU unanimous ly elected Samirra Felix as its new vice pres ident, causing a major shakeup in the execu tive board of the club with the largest budget in the Student Association. Oliver declined comment about why he left left his position, but did say he would eventually be open to speaking to The Spec trum. Golbourne, a junior history major, said the shakeup would not affect BSU’s plans for the semester, including events like Black Explosion and Black Ice. “It’s an internal change that won’t impact any events we’re holding,” Golbourne said. Oliver, a senior business major, and BSU were particularly active on campus last se mester after the “White Only” art project controversy. The organization held open forums to discuss the signs, issued a public statement, protested President Satish Tripa thi’s annual address and, along with other campus organizations, met with university leaders about a potential policy on display ing art in public spaces on campus. Toward the end of the last semester, Ol iver received what university officials called a racist and discriminatory letter, accus ing BSU and other organizations, like the NAACP, of being racist. Oliver told The Spec trum at that time that he’s made himself “in tentionally accessible for things like this be cause that has been BSU’s strategy for mak ing the progress that we have this semester.” Felix, sophomore geological sciences ma jor, ran unopposed in a closed election for vice president in which she was given time to make a speech and take questions from mem bers of the e-board and general body. SA Vice President Sean Kaczmarek said clubs have their own guidelines for han dling e-board elections and members re signing, and that the policy should be out lined in their constitutions. Felix previously served as activities chair for the organization and felt that she had what it takes to move up to vice president. “I have a thorough understanding of ev ery position on the e-board and I know that my team members need improvement as well where I need mine, and I believe that’s what makes me a great candidate for the vice president position,” Felix said. The e-board as a whole is confident in its ability to juggle the responsibilities that come with such a large organization. “We’re realistic as an executive board and remember that we’re students ourselves,” Golbourne said. Continued On Page 6 �BSU President Micah Oliver resigns Continued From Page 1 "We know that sometimes we need outside help and we want to strive to succeed as do other organizations. We lean on other orga nizations and they lean on us, I think that camaraderie is something that’s necessary between all of the organizations. Even with in our own organization we lean on each other. We don’t always agree, and that’s nec essary sometimes.” Golbourne didn’t want to speak much on Black Explosion, since BSU strategi cally releases information about the annu al culture and fashion show event over time to increase interest and excite the audience. The event has been in the works for many months involving multiple other organiza tions that put the event together. Historian Chynna Brown, a sophomore nursing major, is particularly excited about her posts for BSU for Black History Month. Every day of February, she will make three separate posts on all of BSU’s social media pages with information about black leaders, history and other interesting facts. Other events they plan to attend and host are leadership conferences in order to become more involved in the Buffalo community. The BSU holds general body meetings on Wednesdays at 5 P.M. in the Student Union. It works closely with other organizations in cluding the Caribbean Student Association and the African Student Association in or der to plan events. In addition to meetings, the group hosts regular events for both their members and the general student population. email: features@ubspectrum.com Tori Roseman, The Spectrum The e-board of BSU (from left to right: Jason Hamlet, Jalyssa Gordon, Randy Ollivierre, Deidree Golbourne, Leslie Veloz, Chynna Brown, Samirra Felix, James Battle, Alexandra Louigarde) prepares for the upcoming semester which is full of events for both general body members and the undergraduate population. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The letter uses racial slurs and accuses several organizations, like the NAACP and the Black Lives Matters movement, of be ing racist. Although UPD says the letter does not pose a direct threat to Oliver, it has run a number of assessments regard ing the text of the letter, fingerprints and the physical letter itself. And as a precau tion and per protocol, UB has shared the letter with the Federal Bureau of Investi (FBI). gation “The sending of the letter is not a crime under NYS [New York State] law,” said UB Spokesperson John Della Contrada in an email. “However, racist and discrimina tory behaviors or conduct have no place at the University at Buffalo and will not be tolerated.” The letter, though mailed to Oliver, ad dresses the University of Missouri board of trustees and was sent from an O’Fallon, Missouri address. The letter is signed with the name Richard Ganter, but UPD said it could not trace the letter back to that name. UPD has been in contact with University of Missouri Police and O’Fallon Police. Oliver and UPD believe this exact letter Kainan Guo, The Spectrum BSU President Micah Oliver received a letter Thursday containing racial slurs and accusing co/ored organizations of being racist. Oliver believes the letter is a result of the progress BSU has made on campus this semester.. was sent to numerous organizations be cause of the address that was used and er rors within the text. Oliver said the sender’s motive may have been to “shake up” BSU. “I’ve been very active in the public and with students, maybe on a level that most BSU presidents haven’t been,” Oliver said. Continued On Page 6 �UPD investigates ‘racist and discriminatory’ letter sent to BSU president Kainan Guo, The Spectrum Black Student Union members protest President Satish Tripathi’s annual State of the University address in October. BSU President Micah Oliver believes the letter was sent to him and BSU in part because of the actions BSU has taken this semester in light of the "White Only" art project. Continued From Page 1 “So I’ve made myself intentionally acces sible for things like this because that has been BSU’s strategy for making the prog ress that we have this semester.” Since the “White Only” art project con troversy in September, BSU has held an open forum to discuss diversity on cam pus and the university’s policies regard ing the project, as well as a peaceful pro test at President Satish Tripathi’s annual State of the University address. The orga nization also staged a walkout in support of the black students at the University of Missouri after racial tension sparked pro tests there last month. “[BSU has] kind of set a new standard for student associations at this university,” Oliver said. “But what comes with embark ing on new territory are new challenges as well and that’s what we’re seeing.” The letter was originally sent to Capen Hall, as that was where it was addressed. It was then sent to the Student Association office because the letter was addressed to “Micah Oliver President Black Student As sociation.” Mark Sorel, SA administration director, opened the letter and called Oli ver to the office to explain the content of the letter. “I think it was responsible that they called me and told me they had opened the letter although my name was on it,” Oliver said. “I take no offense to that.” Oliver said he chose not to read the let ter Thursday and opened it Friday. According to Della Contrada, UPD was notified Thursday and started an investi gation immediately. Deputy Chief of Po lice Joshua Sticht and Investigator Timothy Thompson reached out to Oliver, who was given the case number that night to check the progress of the case at any time. Della Contrada said UB will respond promptly to protect the safety and well-be ing of the entire campus when “acts moti vated by hatred, discrimination or bias oc cur.” “Diversity, inclusion and mutual respect are strongly held values of our universi ty,” Della Contrada said. “We are commit ted to upholding these values at all times so that everyone in the UB community can study, teach, work and conduct research in an environment free of discrimination and bias.” Oliver said his next step after reading the letter was to “be transparent” with the general student body. He said it felt right to share the letter and it was not an effort to “be progressive” or receive any person al satisfaction. BSU posted the letter on social media and people immediately responded and reached out to Oliver concerned for his safety. But Oliver said he’s never felt unsafe at UB and has never felt the need to request special accommodations. He said UPD and SA’s first concern was his safety when the letter was brought to their attention. “I have been comfortable and I’ve felt very normal through this experience,” Ol iver said. “And I hope it’s not because I’ve become desensitized to these things but because I am confident in my safety on this campus.” He said that when speaking to other news outlets across the country regarding the letter, he realized there are other or ganizations similar to BSU that received a similar letter. Oliver said he wants all students who want to feel welcomed and included at UB, to recognize that this letter is a “societal re sponse” to the work BSU and other stu dents on campus have done to create an in clusive environment. email: news@ubspectrum.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

BSU posted a request on social media for students to wear all black and join them in a walkout at 3 P.M. Thursday. After the walkout, approximately 60 students stood in front of the Student Union to have a dis cussion about the racial incidents that oc curred recently at the University of Mis souri. Deidree Golbourne, BSU vice president and a junior African American studies major, addressed the group by saying how proud she was with the amount of students who stood out in the rain to show their support. “Solidarity is necessary,” Golbourne said to the students who were huddled under umbrellas. The University of Missouri’s president, Tim Wolfe, stepped down earlier this week. Members of the group Concerned Stu dent 1950 pushed for Wolfe’s resignation, saying he did not properly handle the racist acts that were occurring on the campus, like black students being called the N-word and a swastika being drawn on residence halls. Graduate student Jordan Butler, a mem ber of Concerned Student 1950, went on a hunger strike stating he would not eat until Wolfe resigned. Member of the university’s football team also said they would not play their sched uled game against BYU - which would have resulted in a forfeit and cost the school at least $1 million in fines - until Wolfe an nounced his resignation as university pres ident. “We don’t know the people at the Univer sity of Missouri but we know their pain,” Golbourne said. UB has been dealing with its own ques tions about race this semester after graduate fine arts student Ashley Powell hung signs around campus reading “White Only” and “Black Only.” BSU and other student orga nizations have been waiting for an official university response and possible new poli cy concerning the project since September. UB students are just a few of the many students showing their support for the Mis souri students. Smith College, located in Massachusetts, had about 100 students demonstrate to show solidarity for both the University of Missouri and Ithaca College. On Wednesday, students at Ithaca College demanded their school’s president, Tom Rochon, re signs after his lack of response to racial in sensitivity on campus. Yale University is also experiencing ra cial tension after the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity allegedly did not allow black stu dents into a party on Halloween. A student reported hearing a member of the fraternity say “white girls only.” The fraternity denies the incident occurred. A 19-year-old Northwest Missouri student was charged Wednesday for posts he made on Yik Yak threatening to shoot black stu dents on University of Missouri’s campus. Last week, during BSU’s Black Solidarity Day, several racist posts were made on the social media app Yik Yak, an app that al lows anonymous posts and is filtered based on location. Golbourne said the posts were not sur prising because racism is an issue students deal with at UB. Golbourne and other members of the BSU said the main takeaway the organization Gabriela Julia, The Spectrum Students wear all black and stand in the rain outside the Student Union Thursday afternoon to show support for the black students facing racial tension at the University of Missouri. wants is for students to form a sense of solidarity. One member encouraged the group to say hello to one another when they pass each other in the halls on campus, even if they do not know one another personally. During the demonstration, Golbourne said BSU is like a family and it gives stu dents an opportunity for their voices to be heard. “This is your home away from home,” she said to the group. “Just know we are here for you ... We are your brothers. We are your sisters.” email: news@ubspectrum.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

And that’s not the only support the gradu ate fine arts student has received from UB’s Department of Arts, whose faculty say the controversial work is exactly what art is sup posed to be: provocative. But student leaders and even some UB offi cials tell a different story: That Powell’s work was traumatizing and the university must cre ate a policy so students know what is accept able art and what crosses the line. Nearly two months after the incident in which Powell hung signs reading “White Only” and “Black Only” around campus bathrooms, benches and water fountains for a class project, tensions and discussions are still resonating across the UB community. Some students, especially leaders of the Black Student Union (BSU), are calling for repercussions against Powell and the arts partment as well as for UB to create a pol de icy on public art. The arts department has been in full support of Powell and her work. UB administration, caught between the two groups, is trying to find some sort of balance with a policy that would set clear guidelines on expressive art. But now, months after Powell hung the signs, UB administration and the arts depart ment have yet to announce a decision about future policies or officially answer the ques tions Powell’s project raised. What is the line between creative freedom for artists and the rights of minorities on campus? Did Powell’s project cross that line — as some students believe - or did it not? Can students post anything they want in the public space of a university regardless of the hurt it causes others or the historical weight of words and symbols? A policy committee in the College of Arts and Sciences is still reviewing the incident as leaders from the UB administration, the arts department and student organizations plan to meet again this month. But with students de manding answers, pressure is mounting for the university to take an official stance. Leaders on all sides remain far apart in how they view Powell’s project. Jonathan Katz, the arts department chair, says despite the publicity and ongoing frus tration among students — particularly Art isn't something that is supposed to make everyone feel great or always make people feel happy - ifyou can make someone feel uncomfortable, ifyou can make people think about something after looking at your piece, then you did a good thing. Ashley Powell There must be a policy on the campus. The arts department can come up with a policy that ifyou are doing any kind of experiment, you register yourself with the art department. President Satish Tripathi Regardless of what school it is, that department needs to be responsible because of the fallout and because of the negative impact - the horrible impact - it made on students and on this campus, on a whole. BSU President Micah Oliver mem of BSU — there is no need for the arts bers department to release a public statement because “an art department stands for the freedom of expression.” That alone, he said, should be under stood as the “official” response of the arts department. “We want our students to take positions that are at the far edge of what is consid ered the social norm,” he said. Katz said he wasn’t surprised by the stu dent reaction to the project, but that many in the arts department faculty were “in credulous that people don’t understand that this work is anti-racist.” He said he’s “shocked” to see what he considers a lack of understanding about what art is. “I think, frankly, [the project] became a cause celeb for a range of real, genuine social and cultural unrests around racism in Ameri ca, not least, Black Lives Matter — all of which fed the work in the first place,” Katz said. Katz, who also heads the fine arts Ph.D program, said the incendiary reaction to the project was natural because it’s what the work was trying to accomplish in the first place. Katz said he has received furious emails from black students, as well as furi ous emails from racists claiming the project was race-baiting and creating a race war. “You have black students saying this hurt me, and you’ve got racists saying this hurt me,” Katz said. “That ought to tell you this is doing the right thing.” Powell, who is black and was trying to show her own suffering from racism and create a discussion with the signs, said that if it weren’t for the overwhelming support from the arts faculty, she would have buckled under the an ger she faced from the UB community. “All of them supported me, they were emailing me: ‘This is what great art does,’ ‘This is the purpose of art, don’t back down,”’ she said. “Art isn’t something that is supposed to make everyone feel great or always make people feel happy — if you can make someone feel uncomfortable, if you can make people think about some thing after looking at your piece, then you did a good thing.” Powell did the project for her Installa tion in Urban Spaces class. Warren Quigley, the professor of the class, declined to speak with The Spectrum for this story and he has not commented publicly about the project or the class since the controversy began.

That ought to tell you this is doing the right thing. Jonathan Katz, Chair Of The Arts Department Kainan Guo, The Spectrum BSU President Micah Oliver, who demands UB take a stance on the project, speaks at an open forum about the issue in September. Continued From Page 1 Katz said he reached out to Powell im mediately when students voiced strong feel ings about the project and has met with her several times since. Even faculty mem bers from other departments have support ed Powell. Ana Grujic, an instructor in the composition program run through the Eng lish department, helped Powell write her of ficial project statement. President Satish Tripathi, in a sit down in terview with The Spectrum last week, said UB needs a policy concerning works of art in public places - and that art projects need to be labeled as such. “Arts are going to be controversial,” he said. “But when it’s put on the wall, one should say that this is art. So there must be a policy on the campus. The arts department can come up with a policy that if you are doing any kind of experiment, you register yourself with the art department.” Tripathi has faced continued pressure from BSU for UB to create a policy. BSU protested Tripathi’s annual address last month, demanding answers about the proj ect. The student organization has also held meetings with university leaders. BSU has asked the university to create a clear policy for future art projects, as well as reprimand Powell and the arts department. Tripathi said UB cannot punish Powell because she did not break any rule in the Student Code of Conduct. BSU President Micah Oliver said that the university and the arts department should show more responsibility for their students. “As an individual, I think the art depart ment should be held accountable because the implications of the project were under the art department’s watch,” he said. “Re gardless of what school it is, that depart ment needs to be responsible because of the fallout and because of the negative im pact — the horrible impact — it made on stu dents and on this campus, on a whole.” Oliver, who is also the chief justice of the Student-Wide Judiciary, said the most dis appointing thing about the university re sponse to the “White Only, Black Only” project was that “the institution that I love has done something to me in a very nega tive way.” “The art department is a part of UB and I love UB. The most disappointing part of the university not responding is that I thought better of the university itself,” Ol iver said. Oliver said the responsibility ultimate ly comes down to the arts department that oversees students’ works of art, like Pow ell’s. “This happened under a university-sanc tioned curriculum,” Oliver said. “And for that reason, the department that houses, produces and ensures that the curriculum is taught and experienced by students must be responsible, ultimately.” Powell, caught in a place of student-driv en anger and faculty support, is just trying to maintain her own vision. As an artist, Powell said having a set goal — upending racism in society — is the most inspirational and important part of keeping her sane and keeping her driven. Powell said the A’ on her “White Only, Black Only” project didn’t really matter to her. For her, the main indicator of success isn’t the amount of negative feedback she is receiving, rather the discussion about race she has created and the support from the arts faculty she has received. According to Katz, a meeting between Katz, Tripathi and Oliver to create an offi cial statement and perhaps a new policy on public art is set for sometime in mid-No vember. email: arts@ubspectrum.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
