                    <text>BSU makes it three in a row
against Phi Beta Sigma
Renwick Feagin
Spectrum Staff Writer

The responses were fun and the audience was enthusiastic as Geeks and
a non-Geek organization, the Black Student Union, came together in fun
for a friendly baskethilt game competition,
BSU won for the third consecutive time over Phi Beta Sigma in this
annual basketball competition by beating them 83-72, on April 24.
Rich Howe, BSU member and team player said “They’re (Phi Beta
Sigma) just like the (Buffalo) Bills, three limes and their out.”
After disposing of Phi Beta Sigma the BSU team lost to Kappa Alpha
Psi, 48-42.
“It was a well played game on both sides,” said Edward Craig, coach for
the BSU squad, “I just think our guards were well able to get out on the
break and create for the others more than the other team.”

                    <text>New BSU executive board elected
Dinah M. Reese
Spectrum Staff Writer
There has been a changing of
the guard in the Black Student
Union leadership.
The results of the Black Stu
dent Union election for next
year’s executive board members
were released last Friday.
The winners of the executive
board seats are sophomore Lepo
ra Floumory as President, junior
Arnold Wadley (current presi
dent) as Vice President, sopho
more Roderigo Honeywell as
Treasurer, junior Garrett Willis as

Activities Coordinator, and fresh
man Cassandra Francique as Sec
retary.
At a BSU meeting last
Wednesday, the candidates deliv
ered very impressive campaign
speeches.
Wadley quoted from the citi
zen’s pledge of Athens, Greece in
his speech. He said what he felt
was his (as well as the rest of the
new executives’) duty as Vice
President “...to seek ...to trans
mit...the [organization] better if
not greater than what was trans
mitted to us...”
Flournory commented that her
main goal for next year is to

increase “unity among organiza
tions,” specifically the Caribbean
Student Association, PODER,
Asian American Student Union,
Native American People’s
Alliance, and the Hatian and
African Student Association.
Other members of the execu
tive board echoed concerns about
student unity. Francique said she
wants “African students on this
campus to be more aware of their
culture and heritage...to have
more unity.”

new president, page 3

�Flournory named BSU President

First female president since 1986
president, she replied, “I plan to accomplish a lot of
things. To name a few, I would like to expand the
Scholarship Program that I started into a ‘Big SisterLittle Sister’ program with Kensington High School.
Kensington is known as having the worst reputation
out of all the Buffalo high schools. I feel that the
Black Student Union can, in this situation, serve as
role models and encourage more students to attend
college.”
Flournory said she hopes to start an Annual
African-Core Alliance Conference.
“This Conference will consist of African Organi
zations all over the region,” she explained. “Not

Not since 1986, when Cassandra Chase was in
office, has there been a female President of Black
Student Union. This trend has changed with the
newly
elected
Lepora
Flournory.
When asked how she feels about her new position,
Flournory replied, “I feel relatively the same. I have
always been an active participant in the Black Stu
dent Union. This position simply gives me a greater
opportunity to help stimulate the empowerment of
blakc students
here at UB.”
As BSU Activ
ities Coordinator,
Lepora Flournory
helped co-ordi
nate the High
School Scholar
ship Program and
Campfire Mentor
Day.
Flournory
explained, “The
idea is to serve as
a vehicle for the
community chil
dren, to give
them a positive
atmosphere and
positive
role
models for the
influence of posi
Lepora Flournory
tive goals.”
She also worked on Project Pride and guest lec
tures like Amiri Baraka, Sister Souljah and Lenora
Fulani.

Prosperous future
Regarding her new position, Flournory said, “Dur
ing my freshman year in 1991, I was very interested
in introducing new ideas to the organization. I
would also like to add structural improvements
which affects the overall production of the organiza
tion.”
When Flournory was asked to comment on the
fact that she will be “First Lady of BSU,” Flournory
replied, “Yes, the active male members of the Black
Student Union are very egalitarian. I have only
received total encouragement and support from
them.”
Robert Roache, BSU Executive Board Chairman,
said, “BSU will have probably the best year it has
had in a long time,” and added, “Lepora has been
the head of a lot of activities that we’ve had in the
past year and I think the change would be good for
BSU.”
BSU as role model
“I can see the Black Student Union moving
towards a greater political level, as well as being an
even louder voice on campus,” Flournory said.
When asked what she planned to accomplish as

only will it encourage unity nationally, but also
locally.”
“Above all of my goals, I would like to increase
the support of the student body,” Flournory said.
“Without them nothing could be accomplished.”

BSU members’ reactions
Ramses Duvivier, present vice president of BSU,
said, “Lepora has two years experience as an active
member of the Executive Board of BSU. Flournory
has all the qualifications and the skills necessary to
help BSU prosper in the future.”
He added, “I have worked along side of her and
I’ve seen her experience grow. I believe that her
motivation is an asset to our organization.”
Asiyah Grant said, “I feel that it’s about damn
time. Finally, a woman president that will do all
that the Black Student Union should be doing,” and
added, “You go girl!”
Miari Roberts, assistant activities coordinator,
said, “I feel that Lepora Flournory is a very strong
black woman with excellent workable ideas for both
the black community and BSU.”
Roberts also said, “Over the next year, I know that
she will propel that club to a higher level.”
BSU member Keasha Broderick said he believes
the BSU is heading in a positive direction. He said,
“Our newly elected President is a strong black
woman who goes out her way to keep her promis
es.”

                    <text>College Daze: Campfire youngsters were invited to spend a day at UB at the BSU-sponsored 'College Day'.

BSU’s ‘College Day’ gives youngsters
a crash course in University 101
Dinah M. Reese
Spectrum Staff Writer

The Black Student Union spon
sored its first annual “College
Day” last Tuesday.
Children from a Campfire orga
nization participated in the event.
They went on a tour of UB’s
North Campus and attended per
formances and a luncheon. This
group of about 15 youngsters had
never been to a college campus
before.
After their tour, the Campfire
kids went to a luncheon and
talked with UB students about
college life. BSU Extended

Executive Board Chair Robert
Roache said, “Right now the kids
are so impressionable that expo
sure to college life might make
them want to attend.”
Phi Beta Sigma and Kappa
Alpha Psi fraternities, the African
Dance Troupe, drummers from
the African Cultural Center and
the UB Gospel Choir provided
entertainment for the youngsters,
as well as a crowd of nearly 100
onlookers in the Student Union
lobby.
The children really enjoyed the
entertainment. Seven-year-old
Tasha Smith, a second grader at
#17 school, said, “The African
dancers were the best, and I want

to learn to dance like that.”
The African Dance Troupe was
accompanied by drummers from
the African Cultural Center.
Their performance was very
impressive and was appreciated
by the whole crowd.
Other children really liked the
campus. Jino Myles, a third
grader at St. Joseph’s Elemen
tary School, said, “I liked the
tour. We saw the libraries, the
gym, and I really liked the com
puters.”
Milosan Peete, a Campfire
organizer, said, “I hoped to give
the children new experiences and
encouragement through Campfire
experiences.”

Sporting The Traditional Look: BSU fashion show, 'Journey form the Motherland,' featured traditional African
garb, like above.

BSU journeys back to ‘Motherland’
Fashion, cultural show enraptures sold-out crowd
Everiste Ambris
Spectrum Staff Reporter

Theatrical performance and
entertainment was in high gear at
the Katharine Cornell Theatre
Sunday night for the Black Stu
dents Union’s annual cultural and
fashion show.
This year’s theme, “A Journey
from the Motherland,” gathered
black talents from UB and as far
as Rochester, where a young
group of five males engaged in an
a cappella from Boyz 2 Men.
They had the crowd screaming
for more.
Ramona Gore, who has hosted
many of the BSU’s cultural

events for years, did an excep
tional job in this year’s show.
The UB Gospel Choir’s introduc
tion song was the Negro National
Anthem, composed by James
Weldon Johnson.

Exploding audience
Jazz, another remnant of
African American culture, per
vaded the theater, as the Cats of
the Johnson Family Quartet
played for the capacity crowd.
The Cats accompanied Amber
Singletary as she sang, “My
funny Valentine.” Marcia Wright
followed with “Casanova
Brown.”
Members of the audience
exploded joyously as a “blast

from the past” was featured. Sev
enties’ fashions and dance were
featured. Students in this troupe
recaptured memories in their
“funky” dance and dress, with
three-piece suits, a pair of flaredoff bell bottom pants, platform
shoes and Afro wigs - for the
guys. Ladies wore a polyester
bell bottom jump suits with “ele
vator” shoes.
“BSU, even though it has gone
through turmoil this semester
concerning the president resign
ing, has shown us that without
leadership they can come together
and make a beautiful, extravagant
show,” said audience member
Carlisle Prochet.

                    <text>Death of Malcolm X, call for increase
in African unity discussed at forum
Everiste Ambris
Spectrum Staff Reporter

A four-member panel reopened
the case of ‘Who Killed Malcolm
X’ at a forum last Wednesday and
suggested the assassin was the
“military industrial complex” of
the U.S. government.
Uhuru Muza and Changa
Lumumba, members of the All­
African People’s Revolutionary
Party,
Brother
Donald
Mohammed of the Nation of
Islam and Sabir Rasheed of the
Propagation of Islam led a two
and a half hour discussion of who
killed Malcolm X and why.
Possible ‘threat’?

The panelists expressed the
belief that the Central Intelligence
Agency and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation perceived Mal
colm as a “threat” because he
sought to unify and organize all
African people around the world,
similar to the plans of Marcus
Garvey and Nat Turner.
The panel explained that the

Islamic religion brought changes
to people’s lives rapidly through
out the world, and some thought
that America was not ready for
this transformation.
Lumumba called attention to “a
conscious and deliberate plan to
infiltrate black organizations and
destroy black leadership” imple
mented by the U.S. government.
According to Mohammed, the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
the Black Panther Party and Mal
colm were all targets of this
destruction by the FBI and the
CIA.
Muza added that Malcolm had
traveled to African countries such
as Ghana, Guinea and Tansania
and to Mecca, where he convert
ed to Orthodox Islam; thus, the
U.S. government was making an
effort to prevent the unity
between Africans in Africa and
those Africans in America.
Call for unity

“Although it is important to
find out who killed Malcolm X, if
we loved Malcolm X we should

not look for revenge but try and
continue what people like Mal
colm X and the honorable Marcus
Garvey were trying to do, which
was to come together in way of
organization and unity,” Muza
said.
“We are the minority in Ameri
ca,” he continued, “but the major
ity in the world. We need to des
perately make a contribution to
the masses of the people, get
organized as African people and
unite under one organization.
Whether Afro-American or AfroCaribbean, we are all Africans.”
“The death of Malcolm X is
something that America is con
fused about,” graduate student
Hanif Khalak said. “Understand
ing who killed him and why can
make clear what the sources of
racism and injustice are. The fact
that both the FBI, CIA and the
Nation of Islam were involved
demonstrates that this system dri
ves racist violence, and the Nation
of Islam was not a solution to this
violence, but a tool used.”
The forum was sponsored by
the Black Student Union.

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                    <text>BSU elects new president
Julian Willock
Asst. Cultural Affairs Editor
Pledging to make the Black
Student Union more politically Muje
aware and to balance the social
with the academic, UB Junior
Arnold Wadley won a surprise
landslide victory last Wednesday. b
Wadley captured about 87 per
cent of the votes cast, according
to Election and Credentials Com Muqtadi
r
mittee Chairperson Rochelle
Th
Jackson.
The election was necessary e
after the former BSU president, Spectrum
James Minter, resigned late last
fall citing “personal circum
stances” as the reason.
Ramses Duvivier was acting
president up to Wednesday’s elec
tion, but according to the BSU
constitution, a new election is
needed if any member of the exec
utive board resigns. Wadley, an
Urban Studies major from Queens,
New York, edged out the two
other candidates for the position.
BSU currently has one of the
largest budgets of all Student
Association clubs, and the BSU
president holds one of the most
powerful positions on campus.
Wadley, who seems very
enthusiastic about his new chal
lenge, said, “I want to extend
BSU further into the community.”
Recently, BSU has come under

Arnold Wadley

criticism from some white stu
dents on campus calling for a
White Student Union. When
asked if he thinks BSU should be
open to white students, Wadley
responded very diplomatically
that BSU is open to all.
“All clubs should be open to every
student, and all students are welcome
at BSU once they are committed to
BSU’s agenda...we welcome any
help and any new talent.”
The new student leader insisted
that “BSU will maintain our
clearly specific goals, and I don’t
see inclusion affecting them.”

High praise
“I have known Arnold for a

long time now and have full con
fidence in his leadership ability,”
said Carlos Fletcher, secretary of
UB’s National Society of Black
Engineers. “I know he will do a
superb job.”
Maggalie Voltaire, former
Caribbean Student Association
vice president, echoed similar
sentiments. “I feel confident in
the new president because he
seems very eager, and from my
understanding, he is an organized
person.”
Minter praised the incoming
president by saying “he is com
mitted and has an acute under
standing of the cause of people of
color on this campus.”
Minter, who was well-respect
ed among other student leaders
during his term as president,
added, “Arnold will have no
problem gaining the respect from
BSU members.”
Robert Roache, the chair of
BSU’s extended executive board,
agreed with Minter and said,
“Arnold has been very active on
the executive board, and his elec
tion as our president will make
for a smooth transition...the exec
utive board shares the response of
other students...we have deep
respect and confidence in Mr.
Wadley.”
BSU is involved in a variety of
diverse projects and is currently
busy with a number of Black
History Month activities.

                    <text>Islamic leader preached self
help, self-esteem and liberation
Julian Willock
Spectrum Staff Writer
UB students were among the
many college and university stu
dents from Western New York
and across the country who
attended the Nation of Islam’s
Saviours Day convention in
Atlanta, Georgia, this past week
end. The UB delegation was
comprised of about 15 students,
headed by Black Student Union
President James Minter.
The weekend in Atlanta had its
controversy after the Mayor May
nard Jackson sent a letter to the
Nation of Islam leader Louis Far
rakhan to welcome him to the city
of Atlanta. The Jewish communi
ty has long considered Farrakhan
anti-Jewish, but Farrakhan has
denied that charge.
Stuart Lewengrub, regional
director of the Anti-Defamation
League, said one of the demands
the League has before it can sit
down and talk with the Nation of
Islam is for “The Nation and
Louis Farrakhan to repudiate and
recant their numerous expressions
of hostility towards Jews.”
Leonard Farrakhan Muham
mad, chief of staff of the Nation
of Islam, denied that Louis Far
rakhan is anti-Jewish and said the
Nation of Islam has suffered
insults from Jewish leaders who
have compared the group to the
Ku Klux Klan. While the media
and many critics continue to
charge that the religious leader is
anti-Jewish and racist, his follow
ers say much of the good they do
under his leadership goes unno
ticed.

Involved in diverse projects
National officials said Far
rakhan and his congregation are
involved in a variety of endeavors
primarily aimed at making blacks

economically, socially, politically
and spiritually self-sufficient.
Examples of several diverse pro
jects include: security patrols in
drug-ravaged neighborhoods in
major cities, including Buffalo, a
publishing network that includes
books and The Final Call news
paper, an international office and
representative based in Ghana,
West Africa, and small business

"America contin
ues to practice
white superiority,
racism, sexism and
has lost her
morals."
Louis Farrakhan
Nation of Islam
ventures, day care centers, a line
of personal and health-care prod
ucts, videos on every thing from
Malcolm X to Farrakhan speech
es and Muhammad University of
Islam in Chicago.
Last month, the Los Angeles
Police Commission awarded the
Nation of Islam a contract to
patrol 15 federally subsidized
apartment buildings in Oakwood,
California. Two years ago, the
Washington City Council cited
the Nation of Islam for inspiring a
successful anti-drug effort there.
A torchlight for America
In his nearly two hour long
speech on Sunday at the Georgia
Dome, Farrakhan asserted that
“America is on her death bed and
is crying for desperate help.”
Before an estimated crowd of

70,000, he claimed that America
“continues to practice white supe
riority, racism, sexism and has
lost her morals...and if we don’t
change, we will fall like all other
great nations have.”
He insisted “that Bush, Clinton
and Perot do not care about poor
people in this country, and blacks
are always the ones to suffer
first.” He urged African Ameri
cans to heed his message of self
help, self-esteem and liberation.
Tricia Kerney, a student on the
trip, said that he was “very educa
tional and informative, and I dis
miss anyone who thinks he is
anti-semitic.”
Student Lasondra Statham said
that “his speech was strong and
positive...and even though I don’t
agree with him in all his beliefs, I
found his speech to be a great
learning experience.”

Nation of Islam beliefs
The nation of Islam should not
be confused with the orthodox
Muslim community headed by
national Islamic leader Warith
Deen Muhammad, the son of Eli
jah Muhammad. Both groups
were part of the original Nation
of Islam, founded in 1930 as a
black separatist organization, but
a schism occurred after Elijah
Muhammad’s death in 1975.
The Nation of Islam believes in
God, who followers refer to as
Allah. It holds that the essential
truth of the Bible has been tam
pered with and must be re-inter
preted. It holds that the so-called
‘Negroes’ are most in need of
mental resurrection; therefore,
they will be resurrected first, and
they are the chosen people of
God. It holds that black women
should be respected and protect
ed. It holds that those who
declare themselves to be right
eous Muslims should not partici
pate in war.

Avoid The Problem: At last week's forum on police brutality, panelists offered this advice

Police brutality addressed at forum
Julian Willock

Spectrum Staff Writer

The burning issue of police
brutality took center stage this
past Monday at a public forum
sponsored by UB’s Black Student
Union (BSU). Topics addressed
included what could be done in
the event of police brutality or
harassment, and how students
could counteract police brutality
by taking political, legal and
community measures.
Distinguished panelists includ
ed Ted Kirkland of The Chal
lenger, Donald Muhammed from
the nation of Islam and Lieu
tenant McCarthy Gipson from the
Buffalo Police Department.
In their presentations, the pan
elists reminded the students that
as African Americans, they have
to always expect that white and
black officers will treat them dif
ferently.
Muhammed advised students
of color to always avoid conflict
with police. He urged students to
try and be polite and respect
authority and that maintaining
this respect could go a long way
in defusing situations.
File a report
One audience member suggest
ed that everyday in Buffalo, there
is a “Rodney King-like situation,
but we never hear about it.”

Most students present com
plained that they are constantly
stopped by the police for no rea
son. Many said they are harassed
on a daily basis.
Gipson advised students to go
down to the police precinct and
file reports if they feel that they
are victims of brutality and/or
unwarranted harassment. Kirk
land urged students to be aware
of their rights and to apply pres
sure on local elected officials to,
in his words, “help bring justice
and equality for all victims of
police brutality.”

‘Racism’ in uniform
Many of the students expressed
what they have seen as a pattern of
racism in the police department.
They said they do not trust the
‘men in blue,’; instead they feel
“threatened” and “intimidated.”
Keeanga Talya, a UB student
who attended the forum, said,
“The cops and courts are instru
ments of the racist class oppres
sion and the blame should not be
put on the backs of black students
to act polite...even if you act
polite and do the right thing, they
will still mess with you.”
In response, Kirkland said he
was simply trying to give advice
on how to deal with a racist soci
ety, and he admitted that both the
police and the students must play
an equal role in respecting one
another.

Rodney King: a symbol
Students and members of the
panel asserted that the image of a
‘lynch mob in blue uniforms’ tor
turing a black man lying helpless
on the ground has become the
symbol of racist police brutality
in America.
BSU President James Minter
said, “The best thing we can do is
use the law and avoid situations
where the cops will have reasons
to harass us.” When asked what
blacks should do if that fails,
Minter suggested, “We protect
ourselves by whatever means
necessary.”
Muhammed reminded students
that there are more black males in
jail than in college, and told them
“you here have a responsibility to
work hard and uplift your people
and stop blaming every one else
for your problems.”
Another student, Andrew
Campbell, complained that every
time he has a party at his house,
the cops come and break it up.
Campbell said at times “they
[police] use racial slurs and treat
students of color as if they are
second class citizens.”
Once again, use of the legal
system was encouraged and con
sidered the best combatant to
harassment and brutality.
“Racist cop atrocities occur all
the time,” Gipson said. “The
problem is how we deal with it.”

UB's B.S.U. sponsored Project Pride for community youth and their families this weekend.

BSU sponsors Project Pride Fair
Iqbal Afzal
Spectrum Staff Writer
The Black Student Union, in
conjunction with several organiza
tions, held its first annual Project
Pride Fair this past Saturday on
East Utica Street in the heart of
Buffalo. The Fair lasted from noon
to 5 P.M. with around 120 people
attending the function.
“Its purpose was to reach out to
the community, especially to the
kids,” says Ramone Gore, the trea
surer of the B.S.U. and organizer of
the event.

The Fair began at noon with a
block clean-up, then there were a
variety of contests and events for
the young children of the neighbor
hood. There was a pony ride, an
ice-cream eating contest, double
dutch contest, a water balloon toss,
a twister tournament, and food and
drinks.
“It makes me feel good that the
children enjoy what the B.S.U. is
trying to do,” Gore said.

Fair to instill pride
The B.S.U., in conjunction with
the African-American Cultural
Center, Phi Beta Sigma, Sigma

Gamma Rho, Omega Psi Phi, and
the McDonald’s corporation,
worked to make this Fair an annual
event to instill pride in the neigh
borhood and to show the young
kids that there is an active and
caring B.S.U. on a predominantly
while campus like UB, according
to B.S.U members.
The B.S.U. went from door to
door to talk to parents and get them
involved with the Fair, according
to James (Minter) X, president of
the B.S.U. The Fair organizers
said that they also wanted to instill
a sense of community activism in
the 75-100 children who attended.

Black Student Union angry over proposed budget cuts

proposed budget increases or de
creases are and why,” she said.

Spectrum Staff Writer
Student Association Senators were
braced for conflict at a March 4th
meeting as angry BSU (Black Stu
dent Union) members threatened
protest The BSU members were
reacting to the discovery of a budget
proposal that would decrease their
funding by $3500 next fall.
The BSU found out about the
proposed cut after members saw a
copy of the proposed budget earlier
in the day.
SA Treasurer Jennifer. Bucklin
said the Senate Finance Committee
had spent the entire week putting in
long hours to get the budget proposal
ready in time for the Senate meeting
on March 4th. The proposed budget,
completed only that morning, was
due to go before the Senate for a
vote.
Due to the unexpected presence
of the BSU members, the Senate
decided to put the budget vote off
until all clubs could have the same
opportunity to review the changes in
their own proposed budgets.
“Weare not playing favorites. We
will delay the vote until all clubs
have been given an equal chance to
sec their proposed budgets,” Bucklin
said. “Letters will be sent to each
club, informing them of what their

The Senate listened briefly to the
complaints of the BSU, but decided
that budget matters should not be
discussed at the meeting. The deci
sion was made after members of the
Senate said that the BSU would be
gaining an unfair advantage in
voicing their concerns over the pro
posed budget while no other groups
had any knowledge of the proposed
budget
The BSU students at the meeting
said they were unhappy with the
Senate’s decision to end all discus
sion about the proposed budget

Frustration over cuts
“The understanding I got is that
the Senators are here to meet the
needs of the students,” one BSU
member stated. “I come here today
for the BSU. We are very frustrated
about the budget The amount of
black students has gone up, not de
creased, we need more money, not
less,” she added.
According to Bucklin, the deci
sions behind the proposed budget
were due to factors involving both
the individual clubs’ performance
and also the future prospected bud
get of SA.
The finance committee, made up
of eight senators and Bucklin, holds

hearings before the budget proposal is
made. Gubs are encouraged to attend
a hearing to plead their case. At the
hearing, a club can request a level of
funding and explain to the finance
committee why they deserve it.

“The finance committee looks at
how active a club is, what kind of
events it sponsors and its level of
organization,” Bucklin said.
Bucklin explained that there are
six types of clubs, each with a council

chair whose job it is to keep lines of
communication open between the
clubs and SA. Gubs should be hold
ing regular meetings with their

council chair so that they in turn
can inform SA of each club’s
needs.
The finance committee uses
the input from the council chairs
and the ledgers from the club’s
present and past years to deter
mine the level of funding the club
deserves.

BSU $1500 budget cut
According to Bucklin, although
the BSU’s budget is proposed to
be cut from $26,000 to $22,500,
their actual operating budget is
only to be decreased by $1500.
The remaining $2000 cut will
be from the elimination of BSU’s
co-sponsorship line. This line
included money that was set aside
in the budget, to be given out to
other clubs for co-sponsored
events. “All other clubs must co
sponsor events using their own
money,” Bucklin said.
Bucklin explained that more
money was going to be made avail
able to the club coordinators that
advise the clubs. This money is
used by the coordinators to give
back to clubs that express a need.
She added that when determin
ing the amount a club deserves,
the committee looks at the club’s
contributions to the university and
the community as a whole.
“You can tell just by looking at
a ledger, whether or not a club has
been active or if they have shut
themselves off,” Bucklin said.
Each club is rated on how well
it works within the university,
how it fosters good community
relations and what it does for the
university as a whole. “While

it’s important that a club foster
good relations with the com
munity, it’s more important to
[be active] in the university,”
Bucklin said.
Bucklin explained that while
the BSU has done much within
thecommunity, it should do more
on campus so that its events are
more accessible to the university
population.
“The proposed amount of
PODER and the BSU was more
money than a whole category of
clubs combined,” Bucklin ex
plained, “more money than all
forty academic interest clubs.”
The finance committee also
looks at the amount of money a
club fund raises on its own,
Bucklin explained. “The BSU
has done no fund raising, while
some clubs have raised many
times their operating budget,”
she said. “Ifwe increase a club’s
funding this year, we can at least
maintain that level of funding
next year. Chances are that
money won’t be around next
year.”
According to Bucklin the uni
versity is expecting a steady de
crease in undergraduates in the
next few years. Fewer under
graduates equals less money that
SA has available to give out to
clubs.
Clubs that need money may
request additional funding from
their council chair.
All clubs should be receiving
a letter explaining their new bud
gets. Bucklin suggested that any
clubs with questions should seek
the help of their coordinator.

BSU officials hope to fill their office this semester with a new group of young students.

BSU: new enthusiasm in ’89
"Youth movement" brightens future
Ian Aronson
Spectrum Staff Reporter
Officers of the Black Student
Union arc predicting change for
the organization.
Diversity, enthusiasm and an
influx of younger members arc
bringing change to both the organi
zation and the University, accord
ing to BSU President Sha-King
Alston and Vice President Umar
Adeyola.
Increased minority participation
in the UB political and administra
tive system is an important BSU
goal, Adeyola and Alston said.
“The reason we have a Black Stu
dent Union is because the repre
sentation that we have on campus
does not address our needs,” Alston
said.
Adeyola concurred, saying,
“without politics we have no say in
what goes on.” He added that to
have a greater voice on campus,
more minorities need to get

volved in the student government.
in

Surge of young students
Increased participation from the
freshman and sophomore classes is
reshaping the BSU, he continued.
“I’m not saying that the juniors and
seniors have died out, but there
needs to be a new surge to boost
things, and that’s the way things are
going now.”
Alston spoke of “students com
ing in from diverse areas of New
York City, the state, even from other
countries that come by the office
every day with new ideas (and)
wanting to implement new pro
grams.” This, he explained, con
tributes “energy and enthusiasm
that’s necessary to help our organi
zation.”
Alston added, “If this is a Uni
versity where we all come together
to learn, then we should all be aware
of other people. Our purpose is to
go out and try to teach others about
our culture.”

BSU activities
To do this, the BSU sponsors
various activities on and around
campus. These programs include
Black History Month, a Kwanza
program, and a children’s Hallow
een party. Alston noted that BSU
programs arc not only for black
people. He discussed the annual
dialogue held between BSU and
the Jewish Student Union and
mentioned plans to establish pro
grams with the Women’s Caucus
Coalition.
Adeyola is seeking an expansion
of the organization’s programs into
the greater-Buffalocommunity. He
described plans for an outreach
program, involving tutorials for
local young people, and explained
the need to reach youths of all eth
nic groups.
“I am not speaking on an Afri
can-American level, he said, “but I
am speaking on an American level.
Our youths are the people that are
going to bring things together.”

                    <text>BSU defines AfricanAmerican role in war
Kurt Stuckel
Spectrum Staff Reporter

The Black Student Union spon
sored a rap session on the issues for
African-Americans in the Persian
Gulf War last week. The focus of
the rap session was to examine and
discuss the roles and dilemmas
African-Americans are currently
facing in the War with Iraq.
Henry Taylor, a UB professor in
the American Studies Department,
began with a historical background
of African-American roles in past
United States military conflicts.
Taylor cited the participation of
African-Americans in both the
Revolutionary and Civil Wars.
Thesignificanceof these conflicts
and all others, he explained, is that
they were fought in vain for the
African-American way of life.
Importance?
“The idea in both of those in
stances, the Revolutionary and Civil
Wars, was that participation would
somehow yield a higher standard of
life for African-American people,”
Taylor explained. “What hap
pened? After the Revolutionary
War instead of being free, the sys
tem of slavery flourished.”
According to Taylor, following
the Civil War the United States
government turned the South over
to a “bunch of traitors.”
“I say a bunch of traitors because
what else can you call a bunch of
people who try to over-throw your
government? As a result of those
policies African-Americans were
virtually re-inslaved. There has
never been a war in which Blacks
participated that they have derived
a single solitary benefit.”
“What happens after the war is
over?” Taylor asked. “Conditions

for African-Americans worsened
dramatically.
“There is no reason AfricanAmericans should support that war
(Persian Gulf),” he said. “We as a
people should define our interests
in ways that arc based on what is
important for our people.”

War vs. domestic problems
Taylor questioned U.S. foreign
policy, and how it relates to people
of color.
“Why is it that in the last 50 years
the U.S. has waged war against,
invaded, and changed social order,
in countries of people of color?”
Taylor asked.
Israel in the West Bank and Gaza
Strip, and the Soviet Union in
Afganistan arc just two examples
that illustrate this, he said.
Taylor and other students dis
cussed the irony of there being no
money for social programs to
combat the soaring rates of unem
ployed Black people and poverty,
yet billions to wage war.
He also said that he cannot un
derstand White people who refuse
to vote for Black people and social
policy beneficial to Black people,
but will support a war that Black
people are fighting for them.
Kuwait’s money
Alexis DeVeaux, a doctoral stu
dent in American Studies, spoke of
the necessity of Kuwait’s money.
American, Japanese and European
money is substantially at stake due
to their investment in Kuwait, she
said.
Americans, however, have been
“sanitized” he said, by the media as
a result of the restrictions laid out
by the government, making
Americans unaware of the real

�Gulf: military finances education
from page 1
sues involved.
is
Taylor said African-American
interests are not of concern to the
corporate structure, who are the
real beneficiaries of this conflict.
DeVeaux also said poor AfricanAmericans and Hispanics often use
the option of military service to
earn money for a college education.
This linkage of education to the
military is something well-off
White middle class students can
avoid, but poor minorities cannot.
The issue of President George
Bush’s “New World Order” was
also raised.
“What is the ‘New World Or
der’?” DeVeaux said. “It is an old
concept, Hitler also used it. The
‘New World Order’ is the ideology
of the strong getting stronger and
the weak getting weaker, not a
theory of participatory democracy.”
She said that there is a need to
“read between the lines” of what
the government and the media is
telling us, and to sec the true
meaning of what we hear, sec and
read, DeVeaux explained.

of Black people in South Af
rica.
The show also had three fashion
shows featuring campus, career, and
evening wear with clothing pro
vided by local retailers.
The excitement and involvement
of the audience peaked during the
musical finale. An elaborate dance
sequence was performed by the
African-American Cultural Center
and the Dance Troupe.
The dancers, many of whom were
children, wore traditional African
dress and danced to the beat of the
drums. Their energy was recipro
cated by the audience. African
clothing and ornamentation en
hanced the effect.
The costumes for the dance troupe
were made by Bola Sobande, a
graduate student at UB in the de
partment of Architecture and Urban
Planning.

The second annual Black Student
Union Cultural Show was held
Sunday night in Katharine Cornell
Theatre as part of UB’s celebration
of Black History Month.
The show featured three hours of
singing, dancing, poetry readings,
and several fashion shows.
The crowd was pumped up by
several rap songs and then soothed
by the sounds of “Devotion.” The
harmony of the six male vocalists
left the audience not only singing
along, but cheering for more.
Other musical entertainment was
provided by UB junior Janessa
Quarles who interrupted the
cheering audience with the com
ment “I’m not finished yet!”
Quarles adopted the cliche “leave
them wanting more” by not satiat
ing the audience’s appetite for an Sobande’s talent
encore.
Sobande’s talent reaches beyond
the drawing board as evidenced by

monologue by BSU Vice-President She creates both South African and
Tabitha Ngwashi in which she American style clothing. Sobande
painted a vivid picture of the treatment described her designs as “western

variations on the original African
designs.”
The clothing ranged from casual
to formal outfits typical of those
worn by the elite, according to
Sobande. They included candlewax
batik designs, tie-dyed, and em
broidered work.
Both men’s and women’s cloth
ing was done in cotton and topped
off with headpieces of cotton or
silk. The headpieces arc “one long
cloth just wrapped differently,”
Sobande said. Styles from the west
coast of Africa were also modeled.
Strips of cloth are sewn together
to create a larger piece of fabric and
is still made in “the traditional way
of dress-making which is passed on
from generation to generation,”
Sobande said. This is because of
the belief “that something will
happen to the family” if a different
method were used, Sobande ex
plained.
Sobande creates African designs
for the public and can be reached
through the BSU at 636-3029. Due
to her responsibilities as a student,
Sobande produces most of the
clothing during the summer.

                    <text>BSU meeting
focuses on new
constitution, history
Robert B. Davis
Ethnic Affairs Editor
The first Black Student Union
meeting of the semester was held at
Deifendorf Hall last Wednesday.
After a reading of the day’s
agenda and requests for volunteers
for various functions, BSU Presi
dent Scott Norman spoke about the
need for a new constitution.
“The constitution we (BSU) have
now is becoming obsolete, it’s not
serving its function anymore,” he
said.

‘Give a little of yourself
To help create this new consti
tution, a committee was formed to
look into creating a more updated
version.
“Give a little of yourself,” BSU
Secretary Ramona Gore said. Gore
stressed the importance of becom
ing involved in BSU. Members
should give as much time as they
can to help make BSU work, she
said.
“Whoever runs for office should
be a people-person and able to
convey information to the other
members,” Gore said.
Vice President Tabitha Ngwashi
announced that BSU will be spon
soring two rap sessions. One will
be held in the T.V. lounge at
Goodyear Hall featuring Henry
Taylor, chairman of the program in
applied public affairs studies (PA
PAS) on Friday Feburary 8 at 4
P.M.
The rap sessions will cover the
topics of light skin/dark skin com
plexions and sexual assault against
women.

Acknowledge your history
Later in the meeting, a member
of the All African Peoples Repub
lic in the audience spoke out about
Black students becoming involved
with the All African Peonies

Re
public.
“Before you do anything you
must know the history of BSU and
how the problems on the interna
tional scene affects students at UB,”
he explained. He went on to talk
about what can be done to enhance
BSU so more students will come to
meetings.
Student Association of the State
Universities Director of Activities
Sha-king Alston added, “Canvass
ing and making BSU more appeal
ing to fellow students should in
crease attendance.”
Norman then distributed ques
tionnaires asking what things stu
dents would like to see happen to
find our what students want from
BSU.
The meeting adjourned with an
nouncements of the schedule of
events proposed for Black History
Month.
BSU will sponsor their annual
cultural show on February 17.
Performers, models, ushers, and
stage hands are needed. Anyone
interested can contact BSU at 6363029.

Political activist Reverend Al Sharpton.

Black activists ask
for 'equal justice’
Robert B. Davis

Ethnic Affairs Editor
TheBlack Community mustfind
immediate solutions to their plight
or face extinction. That was the
major theme of the evening for
speakers Lenora Fulani, Reverend
Al Sharpton, and Alton Maddox.
The three activists were the guests
of the Black Student Union (BSU)
Monday night at Acheson Hall.

Leaders Questioned
“People look at the Rev. Al
Sharpton and Alton Maddox and
say they aren’t like the leaders of
the 60’s, but Martin Luther King
was terribly attacked, viciously
maligned, when he spoke out.. just
as we are now,” Fulani said.
The Reverend Al Sharpton spoke
about how White America tries to
pick the leaders of the Black com
munity.
“If you play sports you wouldn’t
let the other team choose your
quarterback, because you know they
will pick someone who can’t
throw,” he added. “That is what
White people do, they try to pick
our quarterback, knowing he has
two broken legs and is in a wheel
chair.”
Sharpton spoke about Tawana
Brawley, and the Central Park jog
ger trial. According to him, when
the Brawley case occurred, a Black
person -Brawley- was doubted and
questions arose about the validity
of her story.
When the jogger trial came out,
however, he said “before she re
gained consciousness,” eight Black

youths were arrested, and immedi
ately were questioned.
Equal Justice
Sharpton quickly pointed out he
wasn’t condoning the attacks, but
demanding equal justice.
“When Blacks get killed the is
sue is Black, when Whites getkilled
the issue is also Black.
“We need equal justice on both
sides.” Sharpton said.
During a question and answer
period students were allowed to
talk to the speakers. One student
spoke of feeling alienated by the
Reverend, who responded “If you
work on your side and I work on my
side, maybe we can meet in the
future.
“The best thing you can do as a
White person,” he continued, “is
ask your community why is racism
allowed to continue, why are Black
people treated the way they are.”

Solutions
Fulani is the first Black woman
and first Black person to be in
cluded on the Presidential ballot in
all 50 states. She described her
New Alliance Party as “Black-led,
women of color-led, multiracial,
pro-gay, and pro-working class.”
Fulani believes Black led inde
pendent politics is the future of this
country.
‘There has never been a fair elec
tion held in the United States, and
probably never will,” Fulani said.
She is currently running for Gover
nor of New York on the Independ
ent ticket.
Her New Alliance Party has tar
geted the homeless and college
students in a quest to register voters
and a potential voting coalition.

Duke Campaign
Bonnie Nightengale

Spectrum Staff Writer
The Black Student Union and the
Jewish Student Union have
launchedajointcampaign designed
to increase awareness of David
Duke’s recent election to the Lou
isiana Legislature, as well as to
promote voter registration.
Duke, former Imperial Wizard
of the Ku Klux Klan, won his con
gressional seat by a narrow margin

aware of Duke’s position may not
“even know he’s in our congress
right now—that he was elected in
Louisiana.” The other purpose of
the campaign, according to
Schulman, is to “show people how
important a vote is. We want to
educate people. You can make a
difference, and you can do some
thing.”
BSU President Kurt Young
agreed. “We wantpeople to realize
the power that they have in the
vote.” He emphasized that “the

in Metairie, a predominantly white,
conservative middle-class New
Orleans suburb.
“If you went around school and
asked people who David Duke is, a
lot of people wouldn’t even know,”
JSU member Carolyn Schulman
explained. She added that those

KKK and other hate groups do exist,
and it’s not just something that’s
down in the South. They have a
chapter right up here in Buffalo.”
In addition to voter registration,
Young said, “We want people to be

aware of their (politicians’) back
ground and what we’re investing
our vote in.”
Schulman is aware of the KKK
chapter in Buffalo. “It is here. It’s
very much alive in Buffalo, and
people don’t realize that They
figure they don’t see them in the
streets marching and stuff. It’s not
like the South where it’s more ac
cepted to have them go march.
“The area in which he was elected
was a white area, and the deep
South has been known to have that
sort of (racist) view,” she contin
ued. “It isn’t a very mixed area.
It’s pretty homogeneous.”

Nation-wide campaign discussed
The campaign, which includes
posters to get the message across,
may employ different strategies as
time goes on, possibly including a
rally. The prospect of making the
campaign a national issue has been

discussed, and members of the stu
dent organizations involved may
begin by contacting Louisiana State
University to launch the nation
wide campaign. LSU is Duke’s
alma mater from which he earned a
degree in history.
Duke claims to have left the Klan
in 1979, although his address and
phone number remain identical to
those of the local KKK headquar
ters in Louisiana.
“It’s pretty hard to believe that
someone can actually be an ex
imperial wizard of the KKK,”

Young said. “It’s like saying, to
use the opposite extreme, like being
the ex- Pope. It’s something that
you live for all your life, which is
the hate of other people, and all of
a sudden you see the light, you turn
around.”
Lee Atwater, Republican Na
tional Committee Chairman, Presi
dent George Bush and Ronald
Reagan unsuccessfully attempted
to stop Duke, who converted to the
Republican Party before the spe
cial election primary in January.
The three political leaders have
since denounced him.
Although some members of the
Democratic party have pointed
fingers at the Republicans, Young
said, “I don’t want to make this a
partisan issue because I’m sure that
there are lots of people whose cre
dentials could be questioned in all
parties, and we’re just not aware of
them.”

                    <text>BSU Will Wait For
Election Of New VP
Scott Lindlaw

Spectrum Staff Reporter
The Black Student Union has
opted to not hold a special election
to fill its vacant vice president
position.
According to BSU President Kurt
Young, a special election will not
be possible because the Elections
and Credentials Committee will be
too busy with the upcoming SA
elections.
Young said that while an interim
vice president may be elected, it is
more likely that the organization
will wait until its regular elections
after spring break.
The vice presidential spot has
been vacant since Young left it to
fill the void left when Oswaldo
Mestre resigned the presidency in
early February.

BSU President Kurt Young

Young said the vice presidency
of BSU is an important job, but was
confident that the organization will
run smoothly without one.
“We have a lot of hard-working
people, so we will be able to func
tion well until the regular elections,”
he said.

                    <text>Young Is New President
Mestre Resigns As BSU Head
Melissa Servey
Spectrum Staff Reporter
Oswaldo Mestre has stepped
down from his position as president
of the Black Student Union, citing
personal reasons for his resigna
tion.
He announced his resignation
during a regular BSU meeting ear
lier this month. Vice President
Kurt Young assumed the office of
president in accordance with BSU's
constitution.
“I have been involved in student
government for three and a half
years, and it’s taking its toll on me,”
Mestre said last week.
He explained that he has im
proved the BSU as much as he can,
and he did not want to allow BSU to
suffer due to his time constraints.
“I wanted to leave while BSU
was still at its best and let someone
else take it over,” Mestre said.
Young said that although
Mestre’s resignation came unex
pectedly, he believes he will also
make a good president.

Power shift is smooth
Young commented that he can
handle the job and that the organi
zation has good members. He has
not heard any complaints or criti
cisms concerning the sudden shift

"We've
worked hard
organizing
events
for Black
History
month, and
we wanted
that to be
the focus of
attention."

BSU President

of power.
“Everyone is taking the change
well,” Young said.
Mestre said that many people do
not know about the change because
they wanted to wait until after Black
History Month to announce the
changes publicly.

“We’ve worked hard organizing
events for Black History Month,
and we wanted that to be the focus
of attention,” he said.
Elections to fill the vice-presi
dential office vacated by Young
will be held next month.

                    <text>BSU Holds Emergency
Meeting Over Racist Bars
Nikki Gais

Spectrum Staff Writer
The Black Student Union held
an emergency meeting on Wednes
day to discuss alleged discrimina
tory admittance policies by several
of Buffalo’s bars.
Several African-American UB
students had approached the BSU
office and expressed that certain
area night-spots have prohibited
minority students from entering the
establishments by utilizing a vari
ety of methods. They specifically
named Mickey Rats City bar and
Mr. Goodbar.
“These places and others have
purposely scrutinized, harassed,
and attempted to filter out AfricanAmerican students from not com
ing into the bars, solely on the basis
of their skin color,” said Oswaldo
Mestre, BSU president.
Rick Pfeiffer, from WIVB-TV,
elaborated on the purpose of his
month long under-cover investiga
tive probe into the students’ racial
allegations. Part of the assignment
included groups of African-Ameri
cans instructed to frequent approxi
mately ten local discotheques and
observe how they were treated
compared to their white counter
parts. The volunteers noticed that
they were asked to submit several
forms of identification while the
majority of whites seeking admit
tance were immediately let in or
asked to present only one form of
identification.
Pfeiffer’s original three part
series that aired a few weeks ago
was presented at the meeting. This,

"These bar
incidents that
have rejected
blacks and
other minorities
is about nothing
but overt
racism."
Pamela Jackson
BSU Member
in part, sparked this emergency to
occur, Mestre said.
Pfeiffer explained that, “the
series, which included a special
follow-up story struck a major nerve
in the Buffalo community. Now it
is up to the people and the local
government to decide exactly what
measures should be taken to handle
and demolish the situation.”

Need for action
Pamela Jackson, a BSU mem
ber, addressed the significance of
an increased awareness, under
standing, and unifying force be
tween all UB students. She also
proposed actions that should be
utilized by them to directly combat
the situation.
“These bar incidents that have
rejected blacks and other minori
ties is about nothing but overt

ra ” Jackson claimed. “Subtle
cism,
racism is becoming louder and we,
as responsible students and citi
zens of this community must join
and work together to make a state
ment to implement these necessary
changes. A combination of boy
cotting, picketing, and legal action
is needed to make a greater differ
ence.”
Students of varying nationali
ties are encouraged to help develop
a network composed of individuals
committed to belonging to a new
Student Coalition Against Racism
in Buffalo, Jackson continued.
Students need to act and react
against the situation to bring about
an apparent change, said Kadra
Small, coordinator of the Student
Coalition AgainstRacism. We need
to know how many students are
willing to help fight the struggle for
equality, or simply taking time out
of their schedules to picket for a
worthy cause.
The discussion shifted to an open
forum, in which several students in
the audience relayed personal testi
monies as to their experiences with
racism. It was beneficial for the
students to vent their candid feel
ings and opinions with others who
have been made the subject of
similar degrading incidences,
Mestre explained.
Small mentioned that the group
is planning to meet again on De
cember 6 to consider purposes and
functions of the new Student Coa
lition Against Racism in Buffalo.

                    <text>BSU Unhappy
With SA Services
Melissa Servey
Spectrum Staff Reporter
The Black Student Union
memberswill support the con
tinuance of the mandatory stu
dent fee during the referendum
vote this week, but they are not
fully satisfied with the services
the Student Association is of
fering, according to Oswaldo
Mestre, president of BSU.
Mestre said BSU is a very
large organization, with a
membership of 400 to 500 stu
dents on a good year. Over 100
members attend their meetings,
and they provide services to a
very large constituency.
“What affects BSU affects
many people,” Mestre ex
plained. “We have a larger
constituency and we get a larger
budget because of the services
we provide.”
However, Mestre believes that
many of his members are “dis
gruntled”, and that this dissatis
faction is justified.
He used the metaphor of a
mother-child relationship to
explain the situation.
“SA could be considered the
‘mother’ organization, and BSU
is then one of her ‘children’,”
Mestre explained. “A mother
has to feed all of her children,
and we do not feel that SA is
‘feeding’ us.”
Some examples that Mestre
used were Fall Fest, and the

“A mother has to feed all
of her children, and we
do not feel that SA is
feeding us."

Homecoming “I’m a Lumber
jack and I’m OK” party.
“My members were not
pleased with the bands at Fall
Fest,” he said. “There wasn’t
any music geared toward us,
although the fest included a
variety of bands.”
The Homecoming event did
not appeal to BSU members
either, and Mestre thinks some
open communication could
solve some of his concerns.
He believes that SA should
work with BSU, and ask them
what they would like to see
offered through SA. He also
said he offered his services for
Fall Fest, but no one ever ap
proached him.
“They’re (SA) a direct agent
of the mandatory student fee,
and we are a large group of
people who need to be sup
ported,” Mestre said.
“BSU is going to support the
continuance of the mandatory
student fee whole-heartedly, but
there should be some changes
made,“Mestreexplained. “We
just want to let them know that
we’re not fully satisfied.”

                    <text>Mestre Wins The BSU Presidency
Young, Henderson Also Win Positions
By Marc Schneider

Spectrum Staff Reporter

Oswaldo Mestre is the new Black
Student Union president, after
narrowly defeating Terry Lindsay in
the election held last week.
Mestre,
former Student
Association vice president, defeated
Lindsay by a margin of 200 to 125,
and was pleased by the victory.
"It’s great," Mestre said. "It's
like a dream come true. I've been at
this University a long time, and I'm
actually in a position where I can
help.
"I'm going to see that every
element of black student life is
fulfilled within this University,"
Mestre added. "A Renaissance is
coming."
Mestre, who ran on the
Renaissance ticket, noted that
improving
membership,
communication, image and morale
were among his top goals for the
future of the organization.
Communication, image stressed
"Communication is real
important. Not just among our
clubs, but among our individuals as
well. Communication has to
improve," Mestre said.
Mestre also expressed a need to
improve BSU's image "by making
the BSU office a cultural
center...not just for black students,

Oswaldo Mestre

but for white and Hispanic students
as well."
Mestre believed the recent
incident regarding BSU's budget for
the 1988-89 academic year both
epitomized
the
lack
of
communication between BSU and
SA and tarnished the image of BSU.
This past year, BSU failed to
submit their budget request on time
and its funding was cut from
$26,000 to $17,000. Mestre blamed
the failure on miscommunication.
"There was a miscommunication
last year between BSU and SA,"
Mestre claimed.
Mestre said that such an incident

would not be repeated, since his
presidency will avoid such
developments, and noted that his
relationship with SA would also
prevent such an occurrence. "I have
a good relationship with SA,"
Mestre explained.
When asked if BSU can survive
on the funding which they received
from SA for next year, Mestre
commented, "I don't think so. I'm
going to try and get money
elsewhere."
Mestre said that he could not
reveal these outside sources at the
present time.
Lindsay said that although he was
disappointed with the loss, he
would continue to pursue an
alternative role in making BSU an
effective organization on campus.
"We (BSU) are a family. The
family will still go on. We've just
decided who's in charge of the
family. Now that we have that,
we're going to rebuild the family,"
Lindsay said.
"I'm going to be working in all
capacities with the BSU," added
Lindsay. He said that he will most
likely be a member of one of the
extended committees.
Kurt Young was announced vice
president, Rosco Henderson
treasurer, Nicole Thompson
activities coordinator, and Ronda
Raison as secretary. Incidentally,
Don Miller, former chair of the
College Republicans, received a
written vote for treasurer.

                    <text>BSU Forum Discusses Black Concerns
gathered to witness the forum.

By William Sheridan
Spectrum Staff Reporter
In preparation for the
organization's upcoming officer
elections, the Black Student Union
held an open forum for its
candidates Wednesday evening in
Diefendorf Hall.
Participating in the forum were
10 candidates looking to occupy five
positions within the BSU. Former
Student Association Vice President
Oswaldo Mestre and Terry Lindsay
are campaigning for president,
while Curt Young and Alphonso
Champagne are vying for the vice
president post.
The race for treasurer features
Antoinette Ransom, Roscoe
Henderson and Sandra Chase.
Nicole Thompson and Scott
Norman are both looking to win the
position of activities coordinator.
Elections Coordinator Stacy
Glover presided over the forum,
which featured introductory
speeches from each of the
candidates and a question and
answer session, during which each
candidate fielded questions
concerning their campaigns from
Glover himself. The candidates
then responded to questions from
the group of about 55 which

Similar goals
The platforms of the individual
candidates are remarkably similar,
as are the issues at hand. Many of
the nominees cited the need for
improved lines of communication,
both within the black community
and between the BSU and other
University organizations.
"To be effective as an
organization...we need to establish
a free flow of communication
(within the BSU)," Young said.
Young's opponent for vice
president, Alphonso Champagne,
agreed by including "lack of
communication" as one of the
major problems facing the BSU
today.
Another area of concern among
many of the office-seekers is the
morale of black students at UB.
Coordinator candidate Nicole
Thompson explained that "in order
to succeed, we need to have the
involvement of the students. They
must give us ideas and feedback,
negative or otherwise."
Her opponent, Scott Norman,
concurred.
"There are over 1,300 black
students currently attending UB,"
Norman said. "If even half of these
students attended a BSU activity, it
would be a major success."

Champagne called student
morale "very poor, and... in
desperate need of change." The way
to achieve this change, according to
presidential candidate Terry
Lindsay (who ran for Student
Association President during the
recent general elections), is to
"heighten the consciousness of
black students at UB."
General issues of concern
Some of the candidates touched
upon issues pertaining not only to
the University’s black community,
but to all blacks in general.
"What we need to do is revitalize
the black culture as a whole," said
treasurer candidate Ransom, "not
just here at UB but throughout the
country."
Meanwhile, Young sought to
increase awareness of the South
African situation.
"What's going on in South Africa
is modem slavery, no matter what
anyone might call it," he said. "We
must work toward freeing our
brothers in South Africa."
Voting takes place April 27 to 29,
and while the results won't be
known until then, at least one
candidate is confident of victory.
"Judging from the amount of
work I've done," said presidential
candidate Oswaldo Mestre, "I've
already won."

                    <text>BSU Could
Regain Its
Funding
By Douglas Oathout
Managing Editor

A loophole in the Student
Association Constitution may leave
open the opportunity for the Black
Student Union to obtain partial
funding for the 1988-89 academic
year.
Student Association Treasurer
Amy Hennisch said last week that
BSU would not be funded during
the 1988-89 academic year due to
its failure to follow budgetary
guidelines as established in the SA
Constitution.
The Black Student Union was
not included in the budget because
it failed to submit a request to the
treasurer by the deadline. Hennisch
said any attempt to include it in the
budget could mean violating the SA
Constitution.
But, "(the Constitution) doesn't
say that any group that doesn't
submit a budget request shouldn't
be funded," claimed Bob Tahara,
SA Senate chairman.
"It is possible that (BSU) will get
some funding, but I don't know
how much or where it will come
from," he added.
However, Hennisch cautioned
that funding BSU "could still pose a
Constitutional question.''
Tahara noted the Senate has the
power to restore funding, but was
skeptical about its chances.
"What they missed was the
deadline to be included in the
treasurer's preliminary draft...and
what the treasurer recommends is
not binding on the Senate," he said.
Theoretically, he added, the
Senate "can take the treasurer's first
proposal and turn it totally
around...the Senate has the power
to approve and amend (the budget)
and it can change any line."
However, he was skeptical of
BSU's chances for getting funded
should the budget pass through the
Finance Committee and budget
hearings without a line being added
for the organization.
"If the treasurer recommends
(after Finance Committee review)
that (BSU) doesn't get a budget,
chances are they will not get a
budget or if they do, it will be very
small," Tahara said.
Since a new SA treasurer will be
elected in two weeks, Hennisch
suggested the issue could depend on
who gets into office.
"The person coming into office
could influence the final appearance
of the budget," she said.

BSU Tries to Recover Budget
The Black Student Union met Friday afternoon to plot, a
strategy in an attempt to recover its budget for next year. BSU lost
its budget when it failed to turn in its request for next year.
At the meeting attended by about 35 students, BSU members
mentioned three steps for mobilization. The first will be a rally
held Wednesday at noon in Capen lobby. BSU will also start a
letter campaign, sending notes to Student Association Senators
and the campus publications. The third step will have BSU
members showing up at the Senate meeting Thursday.
While the focus of the one-hour meeting was on regaining the
funding, several BSU members voiced their discontent with the
current BSU board, none of whom were present at the gathering.

BSU Loses Funding For Next Year
By Douglas Oathout
Managing Editor

The Black Student Union will
not be funded during the 1988-89
academic year due to its failure to
submit a budget request to the
Student Association treasurer by
Feb. 12.
As of yesterday Student
Association Treasurer Amy
Hennisch had not received the
budget request. Therefore, she said,
BSU will not be included in the
1988-89 SA budget, and any attempt
to include it now could mean
violating the SA Constitution.
Budget was submitted
But BSU President Sandra Chase

claims the budget was submitted
Feb. 12 at 5:45 P.M. (still before the
deadline), but refused to comment
further.
"It was submitted, and that is all
I have left to say," Chase said
yesterday.
This year BSU received $24,950
from SA. According to Hennisch, it
would have received a similar
amount next year had it submitted
a budget request before the
deadline.
"Now they will have to take the
issue up with the Finance
Committee and the Senate," she
said.
Hennisch will be submitting her
budget to the Finance Committee
today.
"It's really sad (it
lost
funding), they are a good

organization. I just don't understand
why (its request) is not in,"
Hennisch said. "Obviously people
knew
about
the
deadlines...(because) out of 150
organizations, BSU is the only
active club that didn’t submit a
request."
"No choice"
Hennisch said she had no choice
but to not include BSU in the
1988-89 budget since BSU violated
budgetary guidelines as established
in the SA Constitution.
The clause Hennisch referred to
was Article 7, Section 1,A which
states: "All Student Association
organizations recognized with
funding must, by the second Friday
in February, submit a written line
item budget request to the
Treasurer of the Student
Association."
While Hennisch told BSU officers
last week that she hadn't received a
budget request, she formally
notified them yesterday that they
would not receive specific funding
for the 1988-89 academic year.
The memorandum sent by
Hennisch to BSU stated: "As of
today's date I have still not received
a budget request from you for the
1988-89 academic year. According
to the SA Constitution, the deadline
for handing in requests for the

"It's really sad (it
lost funding),
they are a good
organization. I
just don't
understand why
(its request) is
not in."

result, BSU will not be

have to appeal this to the
Committee and the

Funding could be restored
Hennisch conceded that funding
could be restored to BSU "if the
Senate votes to do so." But in so
doing she added, the Senate would

be compromising the SA
Constitution and, conceivably,
someone could ask for the removal
of the senators on the grounds that
they violated the Constitution.
Also, she said, that if she had
included BSU in the 1988-89
budget, she would have violated the
SA Constitution and therefore
would have been subject to
impeachment.
The Black Student Union, if it is

�BSU

continued from page 1

to receive funding for any of its
programs next year, will have to
request funding from the SA
Minority Affairs Coordinator, who
has been budgeted $5,000.
Another avenue it may wish to
explore will be the new "special
activities fund" for students which
Hennisch just created.

Hennisch said the money which
would have gone to BSU has been
distributed to fund or partially fund
other areas such as the special
activities fund, a Student
Association newsletter, the SA van
and for increases in some student
clubs.

                    <text>Tape Tells of Modern Day Slavery
By L. Jane Greenberg
Spectrum Staff Writer

The fundamental ideas of the All­
African People's Revolutionary
Party were discussed Thursday at a
meeting of the Black Student
Union.
The All-African People's
Revolutionary Party works towards
pan-Africanism, "the total
liberation and unification of Africa
under scientific socialism," said a
pamphlet distributed by the
A-APRP. They also work to break
down apartheid, which was
instituted by Dutch settlers in
South Africa in 1948.
"Under apartheid, the African
masses are 20th century slaves. The
African majority, who are over 70
percent of the population, are forced
to live on 13 percent of the worst
and most barren land," the political
leaflet said.
A video was also shown of
Kwame Toure, a leading black
activist in the United States. The
video had been filmed during a 1983

speech held at the Erie Community
College City campus. Toure
brought up the point that "all
people who are oppressed cannot be
free until they are conscious...they
know more about Michael Jackson
than (about) Jesse Jackson."
Racism was a means of justifying
the kidnapping and enslavement of
the African people and the theft of
their land, according to Toure. The
Europeans realized what a rich
continent Africa really is. Among
Africa's wealth are mines of
platinum, cobalt, lead, gold, iron,
coal, chromium, silver and
diamonds. Africa also contains
enough power sources (oil,
hydroelectric, and coal) to develop a
powerful nation.
Taken advantage of
They have been taken advantage
of, and Toure and the A-APRP
would like to change that.
"We have to fight, fight, fight,
until we're all killed or until we
destroy the enemy," Toure said.

Backbone
"All people of African descent,
whether they live in North or South
America, the Caribbean, or in any
other part of the world, are Africans

and belong to the African Nation."
So states Kwame Nkrumah in his
book, Class Struggle in Africa. This
belief is the backbone of the All­
African People's Revolutionary
Party, which seeks, according to the
pamphlet, to "educate and organize
the masses of exploited and
oppressed Africans living, suffering,
and struggling in Africa and over 61
other countries in the world." The
A-APRP represents a development
in the struggle of black people
against exploitation, dispersion,
depersonalization, and humiliation.

Constant struggle
Kwame Nkrumah, co-chairman
of the 5th Pan-African Congress at
the end of World War 2,
implemented and taught socialist
pan-African principles, practices
and policies to help liberate and
unify Africa under scientific
socialism; they have been named
Nkrumahism in his honor. Some of
the principles of Nkrumahism
include: Humanism, egalitari
anism, collectivism, dialectical and
historical materialism, scientific
socialism, and the primacy of
Africa. In the words of Toure, "The
only way any people will be free is
by constant struggle."

On Pan-African Unification
The organizer of the all-African
People's Revolutionary Party will be
the keynote speaker Thursday
evening at a meeting of the Black
Student Union.
Kwame Toure, one of the leading
black activists in the U.S., will
address the public on many issues,
including his association with the
Black Panthers, anti-apartheid, and
Pan-Africanism, in Diefendorf 147
at 7:30 P.M.
"Pan-Africanism involves the
importance of unification among
black students and black people in

general," Josie Rollan, a member of
the Black Student Union, said.
"Black unity is important. It's
important in order to organize for
liberation."
Kwame has been at the forefront
of the struggle for black rights. He
has been a leading activist for civil
rights, and provided leadership in
the black-power movement. He has
also been a driving force in the
student non-violent coordinating
committee.

clubs. Whichever track you choose,
you will stay with the same people
the whole day and get a chance to
get to know them better.
Former UB student to speak
The keynote speaker this year
will be Phil Samuels, a graduate of
UB who also did work on his Ph.D.
here. While doing his graduate
work, Samuels taught such courses
as Business Administration,
Communication Skills, and
Organizational Communication.
Right now, he is head of Human
Resources at Goldome, and owns
his own rapidly growing graphic
design business.
"He's good at motivating

students and is a very powerful
speaker," claims Brodka.
Just in case you do not think this
conference is right for you, Brodka
believes it is important to mention
that the conference "isn't only for
people who are leaders now on
campus, but for people who just
want to work on their own
leadership development."
The conference costs $10 in
advance and $12 at the door. The
expense covers lunch, a coffee break
mid-morning, and a reception after
the conference, where you'll get a
chance
to
mingle
with
administrators and lecturers.

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

�BSU (Stabilizing The Organization)
It's time for the Black Student Union of the State
University of New York at Buffalo to
realize
its
full
potential.
ACT suggests that we reorder our priorities.
First, ACT proposes that we begin with the infrastructure of
the organization.
We as officers of this organization must
create a more open network of communication.
Communication is
an indispensable part of any
organization.
To successfully
accomplish this, ACT proposes that we establish a weekly forum
wherein all officers must attend.
This forum would also be
accessible to anyone genuinely interested in BSU.
This weekly
forum may appear to be too demanding for a full-time student,
but we believe being an officer of BSU must be accorded the
same amount of weight as any other collegiate activity.
BSU
is a student organization not a social club, and as such we as
officers have jobs to do that require a high
level of
commitment. If an officer is not ready to commit his/herself
then maybe he/she is not ready to lead BSU.
Another characteristic necessary of an officer of BSU is
responsibility.
The officers of an organization must be held
accountable for the actions of the organization on a whole.
As
officers we must lead the organization and be responsible for
any actions taken by the organization.
Unity
Secondly, ACT stresses the needfor unity among all
Afro-American students on campus.
This can be accomplished by
mobilizing all Afro-American students
on
campus under the
guidance and leadership of BSU.
To do this we must start from
the bottom and gradually climb our way tothe too.
We
must
begin by playing a larger role in the orientat
ion of Freshman to
university life, academic as well as social.
This will aid in
easing the transition from highschool to a large university
and all that it has to offer.
Also we should try to get
students to be more supportive of each other. One way this can
be done is by creating a tutorial program wherein students help
students on a more personal basis.
It works at the graduate
level
so there
is no reason why it can't work
at an
undergraduate level.
We should also establish a phone bank of
all BSU members.
This would aid in knocking down the barriers
that
constantly
hamper
communication
within
the
black
collegiate community as well as serve to increase attendance
to BSU functions and meetings.
We should also make students
more aware of student government and how to become involved.
There is no reason why BSU shouldn't have a ticket in every
election on campus.

�Events
Thirdly, ACT believes BSU should sponsor at least one
event per month.
It appears that BSU only concentrates on
sponsoring events around Black History Month.
As one of the
largest student organizations on campus with one of the largest
budgets, we feel BSU should sponsor events accordingly.
These
events may include speakers, cultural shows, rallies, picnics,
award presentations, etc. We should make an earnest attempt to
get professionals to attend BSU spon
sored seminars in all
different fields of study.
BSU should also have fundraisers
for different charitable organizations in the community, and
take an active part in community workshops.
Opposing Apartheid
We the Black students in a free, democratic society are
obligated to help our brothers and sisters in South Africa.
The system of apartheid that exists today in South Africa is
slavery in disguise.
Despite the recent lack of press coverage
on the issue, the Black majority in South Africa are still
being oppressed by the blatantly racist white minority regime.
Our representatives in Congress have passed a bill that would
impose minimal economic sanctions against the South African
government, but president Reagan refuses to enforce these
sanctions.
On the contrary, the Reagan administration has
helped to foster this system of racial dehumanization By
supplying the South African backed Unita forces with weapons to
invade the neighboring countries.
We, the students of America,
must
do
everything within our
power
to put
an end
to
apartheid.
If this requires taking mart in rallies, marches or
sit-ins, we must be willing to commit ourselves to this cause.
We must ACT to put an end to apartheid.
It is our duty as
students in a democratic society to defend human rights abroad.

Interaction
Fourthly, ACT emphasizes the need for BSU to interact with
the other ethnic and liberal-minded organizations on campus.
It is very important for all ethnic and liberal organizations
on campus to unify.
This helps us to overcome the barriers of
race and culture to work together.
If we can create a better
relationship
and understanding among different ethnic groups
at a collegiate level, imagine what can be done when we are
tomorrow's leaders.
This serves several other purposes as
well: events sponsored by one organization would be attended by
members of the other organizations as well.
This would also
aid in decreasing the number of time conflicts among scheduled
events.
Lastly, this liberal coalition would serve to combat
the conservative biases of the Spectrum, the apparent racial
biases
of
Public
Safety,
and
create
stronger
minority
involvement in student government.

�The Sanctuary (BSU Office)
In closing, we would like to accentuate the necessity for
the BSU office to serve as a sanctuary for all Afro-American
students, not only a select few. We must work at creating more
of a family atmosphere among all Blacks on campus.
The BSU
office should be a place where one can find information on
prominent Hack figures and contributions, past as well as
present. A place where students may relax between classes, and
finally, a place where students can become better acqu
ainted.
The Black Student Union must reach its full potential.
To get there we must be,
Active, Committed and Together

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

BSU Stresses Unity, Values at
Kwanzaa Teach-In

Students End Semester With
Eight Days of Hanukkah

When the Christmas trees and meno
rahs go up in homes and storefronts every
December, few people need to ask what
they stand for - such symbols are almost
inescapable during the holiday season.
When decorations go up for Kwanzaa,
however, many people are left to ask
what exactly this third December holiday
is all about.
Saturday night in the Student Union,
over 100 UB students, staff and alumni
gathered to shed some light on the lesserknown holiday and celebrating Kwanzaa
at an annual dinner sponsored by the
Black Student Union.

With Hanukkah set to start Tuesday
night, hundreds of Jewish students at UB
will celebrate the Festival of Lights for
the next eight days by either going home
to family, or lighting candles and swap
ping presents with friends on campus.
“I am so excited to go home for Hanuk
kah,” said Jon Goldberg, a junior com
munications major. “I usually go home
every year, and this year is no different.
Celebrating with your family is extreme
ly important during this festival. There’s
nothing else out there quite like it.”

“For people who don’t really
understand what Kwanzaa is about,
this dinner is a great experience for
them,” said Christopher Brown,
a first year graduate student and
BSU member. “It’s important to
celebrate African American culture
within such a large university.”
An African American and panAfrican cultural holiday, Kwanzaa
was first celebrated in 1966 in the
aftermath of brutal race riots and
the Black Freedom Movement.
Ron Everett, a professor at the
University of California at Long
Beach, created the holiday to cel
ebrate family, community, and the
seven principles called “Nguzo
Saba.”
Unity, self-determination, col
lective work and responsibility,
cooperative economics, purpose,
creativity, and faith are all fun
damentals highlighted during the
days of Kwanzaa and applied to
life throughout the year.
“I take whatever I learn about
Kwanzaa here and bring it back
home with me,” said Deidra
McBean, a second year graduate
student in economics. “It’s impor
tant to practice the foundations of
Kwanzaa. It’s a good way to live.”
Organizers said Saturday’s
unseasonably nice weather made it
easier for more people to attend the
cultural event.
“Snowstorms have plagued
us the past couple of years and
haven’t allowed many who were
interested in attending to be able
to, so we really lucked out this
time,” said Terrell Monroe, a UB
alumnus who was a speaker at the
dinner.
The holiday itself, which is not
religious, runs for a week from

Dec. 26 to Jan. 1.
Black Student Union organizers
said the celebration was meant to
give a background on the holiday
and answer questions for those
who are interested in learning
more about it.
The dinner featured all of the
seven symbols of Kwanzaa.
The Kinara, or candleholder,
represents continental Africans
and ancestors. The Mkeka, or mat,
represents the tradition and history
that today’s Africans build their
lives around. The Mazao, or crops,
are symbolic of the African harvest
celebrations and the rewards of
productive and collective labor.
The last key symbol is Mishu
maa Saba, the seven candles,
which symbolize the Seven Prin
ciples, and provide a set of values,
which people are encouraged to
live their lives by.
The night also showcased the
Daemen College step troupe and
gospel choir. The neighboring col
lege was invited to join in on the
festivities to stress the importance
of a cohesive community.
“The whole idea is to make the
annual Kwanzaa dinner a family
and community event, and Dae
men’s presence really helps us to
that,” Monroe said.
Although the dinner featured a
traditional and hearty menu, for
those who attended, the event was
about far more than good food.
“Coming together at the end of
the semester to have a good time
and eat food is fun,” said Robyn
Liverpool, a senior business major
and BSU member. “But learning
good ways to live and the strength
of community is invaluable.”

BSU Plans a Day of Unity and Celebration
By Juby Kuriakose
Staff Writer
Students will come together
Tuesday to honor and reflect
upon the countless contributions
and accomplishments of AfricanAmericans throughout the ages
as they celebrate Black Solidarity
Day.
The concept for Black Soli
darity Day came from a play by
Douglas Turner Ward titled “Day
of Absence,” according to Simone
Hicks, Black Student Union Presi
dent.
“(The play) illustrated social,
political and economical conse
quences for the nation if black
people weren’t present,” she said.
The first Black Solidarity Day
was observed in 1969 and was
founded by Dr. Carlos E. Russell,
a professor at Brooklyn College.
Russell, himself a playwright,
author and community activist,
enacted the observance on his own
campus, but it is now celebrated
nationwide.
“This is a day held prior to
general elections in which blacks
throughout the country abstain
from participation in social, politi
cal and economic affairs of the
nation,” Brooklyn College’s Web
site stated. “By their absence,

blacks and others peacefully
oppose racism, and social and civil
injustices.”
The Black Student Union, how
ever, will commemorate the event
on Election Day.
“Since the election does attract
media attention, the African Amer
icans who began this celebration
wanted to show the political
strength in the African-American
community,” said Hicks.
According to Hicks, UB’s
Black Solidarity Event will be a
day of harmony to demonstrate a
rededication to the movement for
freedom and justice.
Participants will commemorate
the day with a march from the bus
stop at Governor’s to the Student
Union. Marchers, dressed in black,
will gather at 10 A.M. and remain
in the Student Union until 1 P.M.,
according to Keisha Etienne, BSU.
treasurer.
“We are not trying to protest,
but instead we are celebrating our
accomplishments as members of
this society and we are trying to
educate our peers,” said Hicks.
The day’s events are not limited
to just the African-Americans on
campus, but will incorporate other
minority groups as well.
“Historians from our association
will be hosting the event but we

will also have tables set up in the
Student Union, representing dif
ferent minority groups on campus
because there are a lot of them and
we try to include them all on this
day,” said Hicks.
The UB Step Troupe will pro
vide entertainment as will the Afri
can inspired dance group Sankofa!
BSU historians will give speeches
and lectures, Hicks said.
According to Hicks, an impor
tant goal of BSU is to educate
young people on the importance
of the vote, and the history of the
struggle of African-Americans to
obtain that right.
Tuesday’s events will spill
over into a weeklong celebration.
BSU will visit the Zion Domin
ion Church of God in downtown
Buffalo on Wednesday evening
to speak to the youth group about
community leadership, Hicks
said. Events such as this one aim
not only to commemorate black
achievements of the past, but also
to ensure that black people will
remain empowered in the future.
“The importance of Black Soli
darity Day is the importance of our
people as a whole and being able to
vote and being able to say proudly
that we can celebrate what we have
accomplished within our commu
nity,” said Hicks.

BSU demonstrates political strength and unity
By Keely Sheehan

Staff Writer

The Black Student Union
(BSU) celebrated Black Solidar
ity Day this past Monday The
national event that began in
1969 at Brooklyn College is held
every year on the Monday before
Election Day to recognize the
strength of the African American
community.
“Black Solidarity Day allows
society and the student body to
know the importance of what
the black community contributes
to society,” said William Donovan,
BSU president.
The event opened with a
rendition of the Black National
Anthem, “Lift up Your Voice and
Sing,” and a walk from the Student
Union to Capen Hall. Students
stopped to show their support
in the Promenade and Founder’s
Plaza. Though rainy weather cut
the walk short, it did not deter
the group’s enthusiasm, accord
ing to Patrice Gordon, BSU vice
president.
“People seem to have enjoyed
it,” she said.
After the walk, James Pappas,
Ph.D., associate professor of
African American Studies, gave a
speech about the importance of
black unity amid the red, black
and green balloons decorating
the Union. The colors represent
ed the Pan-African flag, a sym
bol of black pride, according to
a pamphlet distributed by the
BSU.
Students made pillows with
African fabrics and were able
to visit booths set up by various

clubs and organizations to pro
mote their groups.
The UB Step Troupe was pres
ent with their first-place trophy
from the recent Buffalo State
Step Competition in hand. UB
Step Troupe President Herlynne
Pierre attributed the group’s
success in part to the unity advo
cated by Black Solidarity Day and
the BSU.
“The BSU is a club that people
look up to. It represents all the
minority clubs on campus,” she
said. “Were excited to be here
and promote unity within our
own club.”
The African SA (ASA) also set
up a table in the Union. Accord
ing to Fadima Kamara, a member
of the ASA and sophomore com
munication major, Black Solidar
ity Day helps to draw students’
attention to the many opportuni
ties available to them on campus.
“It brings awareness to the
black community on campus, to
let people know we're here and
can make a difference,” Kamara
said. “We need to stick together
and support each other. If we
don’t support each other, who
will?”
While the main focus of Black
Solidarity Day is the social and
political strength of African
Americans, the day represents
all minority groups, according to
Donovan.
“It gives students the oppor
tunity to learn about what other
minorities contribute to the US,”
he said. “It’s a chance to learn
more about other people.”
Because it is held right before
Election Day, Black Solidarity Day

reminds people of the impor
tance of political awareness.
Going even beyond issues of
race, it serves to remind people
of the problems facing the world
as a whole.
“Everyone thinks there’s noth
ing left to fight for,” said Kevin
Southern, a sophomore political
science major."We need to recog
nize that there are things wrong
with society.”
He noted problems with the
government, the economy and
the war in Iraq as just a few of the
issues facing the world today.
“It’s important to take time out
to realize what’s going on,” he
said.
According to Donovan, those
observing and supporting Black
Solidarity Day traditionally forgo
participation in any political,
economic or social affairs.
“With this peaceful absence,
African Americans and others
passively oppose racism, as well
as social and civil injustices, on a
global level,” Southern said.
Donovan encouraged Black
Solidarity Day supporters to
wear all black to show their unity
and support for the cause.
“I think it’s amazing how you
pass the same people (on your
way) to class everyday, but for
everyone to come together as
one, it’s beautiful to see,” said
Elijah Coleman, a sophomore
theater and dance major.“It’s not
something you see everyday.”

African-American Spending Habits
By Ekua Mends-Aidoo
In a recent article it
explained
that
African
Americans suffer “not from the
lack of money, but the inability
to manage it.” This quote can be
directly attributed to the fact that
based on worker income alone
African Americans produced
$586 billion in 2004. This figure
was faintly smaller than the
overall GDP of Brazil in 2006
and also 80% of Russia’s GDP in
2005,
even though
their
populations are 4 to 5 times the
size of the population of African
Americans. In comparison it has
been said that the income rates
of African Americans in 2004
would have been ranked as the
“15th largest GDP internationally
out of 177 ranked,” even though
the unemployment rate is 10.3

percent.
These figures come as no
surprise as one takes a look at
consumer spending habits of
African
Americans.
Basic
necessities such as shelter, food,
and clothing were ranked high
amongst the list, yet African
Americans spent exceptionally
more on clothing than all other
ethnic groups. Among our
favorite purchases are cars. When
observing
the
rates
of
transportation and vehicles, again
African
Americans
spent
exceedingly more than other
ethnic groups did, spending
approximately
$45
billion.
Unfortunately, the only area in
which
African
Americans’
spending has been declining is on
books and other educational

materials. A total purchase of
books has declined since 2001
going from a net purchase of
$356 million to $303 million.
The priority of African
American spending is obvious;
educational resources ranks low
while other material possessions
are at the top of the list. If
African Americans realized our
dominant spending power and
capability, we could influence the
future
generations
and
communities to be more
successful as a whole. If we
reduced the over consumption
of depreciable materials and
invested more in education, it
would benefit our growth and
maximize our potential as a
whole.

Sickle Cell Charity Auction

On Saturday, September 30, 2006, the Black Student Union in conjunction with the Enlightened women or
Alpha Beta Sigma Sorority, Incorporated held the Annual Sickle Cell Charity Auction. A total of $2419 was
raised, which will be contributed to the ongoing efforts to “break the sickle cycle.” Both organizations sincerely
thank all the participants and other supporters that made this event as successful as it was. They also look forward
to your continued support in future events.

Black Wall Street
A Summary of Dr. Leroy Vaughn’s “Black (Negro Wall Street)” from the book Black People and their Place in World History

By Darnell Cummings

The "Black (Negro) Wall
Street” was the name given to
Greenwood Avenue of North Tulsa,
Oklahoma during the early 1900’s.
Because of strict segregation, Blacks
were only allowed to shop, spend,
and live in a 35 square block area
called the Greenwood district. The
’’circulation of Black dollars” only in
the Black community produced a
tremendously prosperous Black
business district that was admired
and envied by the whole country.
Oklahoma’s first African-American
settlers were Indian slaves of the socalled ’’Five Civilized Tribes”:
Chickasaws, Choctaws, Cherokees,
Creeks, and Seminoles. These tribes
were
forced
to
leave
the
Southeastern United States and
resettle in Oklahoma in mid-winter
over the infamous ’’Trail of Tears.”
After the Civil War, U.S.-Indian
treaties provided for slave liberation
and land allotments ranging from
40-100 acres, which helps explain
why over 6000 African-Americans
lived in the Oklahoma territory by
1870. Oklahoma boasted of more
All-Black towns and communities
than any other state in the land, and
these communities opened their
arms to freed slaves from all across
the country. Remarkably, at one
time, there were over 30 AfricanAmerican newspapers in Oklahoma.
Oil was soon discovered and Tulsa
rapidly grew into a thriving,
bustling, enormously wealthy town
of 73,000 by 1920 with bank
deposits totaling over $65 million.
However, Tulsa was a ’’tale of two
cities isolated and insular”, one
Black and one White. Tulsa was so
racist and segregated that it was the
only city in America that boasted of
segregated telephone booths.

Since African Americans
could neither live among Whites as
neither equals nor patronize White

businesses in Tulsa, Blacks had to develop
a completely separate business district and
community,
which
soon
became
prosperous and legendary. Black dollars
invested in the Black community also
produced self-pride, self-sufficiency, and
self-determination. The business district,
beginning at
the
intersection
of
Greenwood Avenue and Archer Street,
became so successful and vibrant that
Booker T. Washington during his visit
bestowed the moniker: "Negro Wall
Street.”
By 1921, Tulsa’s AfricanAmerican population of 11,000 had its own
bus line, two high schools, one hospital,
two newspapers, two theaters, three drug
stores, four hotels, a public library, and
thirteen churches. In addition, there were
over 150 two and three story brick
commercial buildings that housed clothing
and grocery stores, cafes, rooming houses,
nightclubs, and a large number of
professional offices including doctors,
lawyers, and dentists. Tulsa’s progressive
African American community boasted
some of the city’s most elegant brick
homes, well furnished with china, fine
linens, beautiful furniture, and grand
pianos.
A 19 year old Black male
accidentally stumbled on a jerky elevator
and bumped the 17-year-old White
elevator operator who screamed. The
frightened young fellow was seen running
from the elevator by a group of Whites and
by late afternoon the ’’Tulsa Tribune”
reported that the girl had been raped.
Despite the girl’s denial of any
wrongdoing, the boy was arrested and a
large mob of 2000 White men came to the
jail to lynch the prisoner. About 75 armed
African Americans came to the jail to offer
assistance to the sheriff to protect the
prisoner. The sheriff not only refused the
assistance but also deputized the White
mob to disarm the Blacks.
With a
defenseless Black community before them,
the White mob advanced to the
Greenwood district where they first looted
and then burned all Black businesses,

homes, and churches. Any Black resisters
were shot and thrown into the fires.
When the National Guard arrived, they
assisted the others by arresting all Black
men, women, and children, and herding
them into detention centers at the
Baseball Park and Convention Hall. As
many as 4,000 Blacks were held under
armed guard in detention. On May 31,
1921, the successful Black Greenwood
district was completely destroyed by one
of the worse race riots in U.S. history. Dr.
Arthur C. Jackson, a nationally renowned
surgeon known as ’’the most able Negro
surgeon in America”, was shot at the
Convention Hall and allowed to bleed to
death. By the next morning the entire
Greenwood district was reduced to ashes
and not one White was even accused of
any wrongdoing, much less arrested. The
race riot of Tulsa, Oklahoma was not an
isolated event in American history.
During the ’’Red Summer” of
1919, over 25 race riots were recorded
(white
mobs
attacking
black
neighborhoods). After the Tulsa riot, the
White inhabitants tried to buy the Black
property and force Black people out of
town.
No Tulsa bank or lending
institution would make loans in the riotmarred Greenwood district, and the city
refused all outside assistance. However,
racial pride and self-determination would
not permit the Greenwood owners to sell,
and they doggedly spend the entire winter
in tents donated by the American Red
Cross. Rebuilding was a testament to the
courage and stamina of Tulsa’s pioneers
in their struggle for freedom. Most of the
buildings along the first block of
Greenwood Avenue were rebuilt within
one year. In 1926, W. E. B. DuBois
visited Tulsa and wrote: ’’Black Tulsa is a
happy city. It has new clothes. It is young
and gay and strong. Five little years ago,
fire and blood and robbery leveled it to
the ground. Scars are there, but the city is
impudent and noisy. It believes in itself.
Thank God for the grit of Black Tulsa.”

The "Browning of America"
The
Black
Grape
Vine

by Patrice Gordon

Most issues regarding race
relations are often thought about
based on the Black/White
dichotomy. Even though they
are not exclusive to Blacks and
Whites, this article will focus on
interracial relationships amongst
these two groups.
Interracial
relationships
have been a disputed issue in
America since the establishment
of colonies in the seventeenth
century. The first attempt at
expressing intolerance of such
relationships dates to the passage
of the first Anti-Amalgamation
Law in 1664 in Maryland. This
law was aimed at prohibiting
marriage between Black men and
English
women
due
to
uncertainty as to whether the

offspring of a black slave and a
white
person
would
be
considered a free person or
property. This prohibition of
intermarriage between Blacks and
whites was later perceived by
some to be necessary in order to
prevent corruption of the white
gene pool. However, these laws
did not prevent white slave
masters from crossing the color
line to take advantage of Black
women while emasculating Black
men.
Given that the first
encounters of sexual integration
occurred during slavery, they are
usually understood as being filled
with dominance, violence, and
rape. Because of this, Du Bois
was very critical of the hypocrisy
of
implementing
anti­
amalgamation laws as he believed

that “it is the white race, roaming
the world, that has left its trail of
bastards and outraged women
and then raised holy hands and
deplored ‘race mixture'" (Du
Bois: 1921).
Frederick
Douglass,
a
product of Black and white
ancestry,
believed
that
intermarriage was necessary for
the assimilation and acceptance
of newly freed slaves into
American society. He stated that
“the future of the Negro
therefore is...that he will be
absorbed, assimilated, and it will
only appear finally...in the
features of a blended race.”
Even though he was also of a

Sickle Cell Awareness
Dear Supporter,
September is National Sickle Cell Awareness month. For the past six years, The Enlightened Women of
Alpha Beta Sigma Sorority, Inc. have dedicated this month to raising money for Sickle Cell Anemia and
educating the public about the disease.
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells. People with sickle cell disease
have red blood cells that contain mostly hemoglobin S, an abnormal type of hemoglobin. Sometimes these red
blood cells become sickle-shaped (crescent shaped) and have difficulty passing through small blood vessels.
When sickle-shaped cells block small blood vessel, less blood reaches that part of the body. Tissue that
does not receive a normal blood flow eventually becomes damaged. This is what causes the complications of
sickle cell disease. There is currently no universal cure for sickle cell disease.
We hold two very successful annual events, The Walk, whose continuing theme is “Break The Sickle
Cycle!” as well as The Sickle Cell Charity Auction in conjunction with the University at Buffalo’s Black
Student Union. These combined events on average raise approximately $10,000 a year for Sickle Cell Anemia.
We would like to thank everyone who has participated and/or contributed to the success of these events.
Please visit us at our New Clinic! The Comprehensive Sickle Cell Disease Organization. For more

The Black Grapevine

Mixed Emotions About Bridging the Racial Divide
mixed ancestry, W.E.B. Du Bois contested Douglass’
assertion. In opposition, Du Bois stated that Blacks have
resisted assimilation but “it has been forced on us by brute
strength, ignorance, poverty, degradation and fraud” (Du
Bois: 1921).

Although there have been significant increases in mixedrace relationships, such relationships continue to be rejected
based on the necessity of cultural preservation. Opponents
usually presume that marrying outside one’s race amounts to
cultural betrayal. Some African Americans, for example,
believe interracial relationships with a white spouse impedes
on the solidarity of the African American community. As
author Lawrence Otis Graham pointed out, African
Americans disapprove of Black/white relationships due to
fear that children of these relationships will forsake their
Black heritage upon realizing that it is easier to live as a white

person. White America’s rejection on the other hand
revolves around the fact that interracial relationships will
eventually lead to an extinction of the white genotype.
Like Frederick Douglass, present-day advocates of
interracial relationships believe it as an inevitable step in
bridging the racial divide. According to one supporter,
Yvette Walker, “racism.. .will have to be bred out. We can’t
make policies to change it. And certainly in an interracial
relationship the children are raised in a climate of
tolerance.” Such supporters readily refer to Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.’s dream of progressing to a point where
people are not judged “by the color of their skin but by the
content of their character” (King: 1963). Is Dr. King’s
dream finally coming to fruition or is it that efforts to create
a colorblind society has resulted in a generation that ignores
disparities that still exist?

On Saturday, September 16, 2006, The Enlightened Women of Alpha
Beta Sigma Sorority, Incorporated held their sixth Annual Sickle Cell Charity
Walk. The walk, which is entitled “Break The Sickle Cycle” took
place in McCarthy Park and was approximately 2.5 miles long. Although
there was not a great turnout, the supporters, including members of the
Black Student Union’s Executive Board, chanted facts about Sickle Cell
Anemia, which got the attention of several passersby on Main Street. On
behalf of Alpha Beta Sigma Sorority, Incorporated, The Black Student
Union would like to thank the walkers and other supporters.

A Fallen Star
by Simone Hicks

September 13, 2006 marked the 10th anniversary of Tupac Shakur’s death. A victim of a
drive-by-shooting, he will always be a legendary lyricist. Some may know him as a charming
actor, a vicious criminal, a radiant songwriter, a wild celebrity, a misogynist and black
prophet. After 10 years, Tupac’s memory is still very vivid in hip-hop music today. Shakur is
highly praised for being the greatest rapper of all time. He has been the subject of books,
movies, college courses and musical forums.
Tupac was born to a former Black Panther member, Afeni Shakur. His mother’s radical
features incited many of Tupac’s songs. Many of his lyrics reflected an unstable childhood
in the ghetto, economical problems and drug addictions. His with aggravation with the
internal and external failures with the black community was expressed vividly through his
songs. His music is still a constant reminder of the black frustration with America.

Blast to the Past
September 17,1983
Vanessa Williams
became the 56th
Miss America, and
the First AfricanAmerican woman to
be
crowned.
Unfortunately, she
was
forced to
relinquish her crown and its
accompanying benefits in 1984 after
Penthouse magazine published nude
photos that were taken of her 10 years
prior to winning the pageant.
However, her determination to prove
to the world that she made “a terrible
error in judgment” when she posed for
the pictures has led to a successful career
in the entertainment industry.

September 18,1895
The Atlanta Compromise, which was a public
address from Booker T. Washington regarding
race relations occurred on this day. In the
address, Washington asserted that vocational
education, which gave Blacks an opportunity
for economic security, was more valuable than
social advantages or political office.
According to Washington, “In all things
that are purely social we can be as separate as
the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things
essential to mutual progress.”
This
philosophy ignited fear in Black intellectuals
who thought that it would cause them to be
subjected to indefinite subservience to whites.
This apprehension led to the
Niagara
Movement as well as the birth of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored
People.

September 19,1797
Sojourner Truth,
abolitionist and
women’s rights
pioneer was born
into slavery in
Hurley, Ulster
County,
New
York.
She was
freed in 1828 when
New York emancipated slaves. Truth
was a mystic who heard voices she
believed to be God's. In 1843, obeying
her voices, she took the name
Sojourner Truth and went preaching
along the eastern seaboard. Upon
coming into contact with the
abolitionist movement, she embraced
it and tour the country touring on it’s
behalf.

September 20,1664

September 21, 2002

September 22,1950

Maryland passed the first Anti­
Amalgamation law that was intended to
prevent marriages between Black men and
English women. This was based on
uncertainties regarding whether the
offspring of such marriages should be
considered a free person or property.

Brenda Knight, the first
African-American female
chairperson of the Association
of Community Colleges
Trustees was elected.
This
organization represents more
than 1,200 colleges, 6,500
trustees, and 11 million students in America.
Knight is currently the community and
government relations coordinator for the
Oakland Unified School District.

Raplh Bunche was the
first person of color
internationally to be
awarded a Noble Peace
Prize. He received it
for
successfully
mediating a series of armistice
agreements between present-day
Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and
Syria.

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Interracial Relationships: Black Community
Acceptance Or Rejection

Does the Black Community really accept interracial relationships, or
reject them? Is love color Mind?
Patterns of interracial relationships:
• 40 out of the 50 states at one point in time banned the marriage of
persons of color and whites
• It was not until 1967 with Loving vs. Virginia that the supreme
court brought an end to such statutes

Questions

1) How do you feel interracial relations are perceived today?
2) Are there stigmas that follow behind interracial marriage or
relationships?
3) Is there a shift in racial attitudes that reflect a modern

commitment to the social norm?
4) Is there a difference in acceptance when a person is merely dating

out of their race rather then getting married to that person?

5) How does an interracial marriage affect the Black Community, if
at all?
6) Will we ever be on the verge to a world where a person’s ethnicity

when it comes to marriage does not matter? Are we close to that

now?

Historical Background
a. Patterns of Interracial Relationships
1. Laws barring the marriage of persons of color and
whites existed in 40 of the 50 states
2. Loving vs. Virginia Supreme Court in 1967 brought an
end to such statutes (anti-miscegenation
3. Throughout history Black Men in comparison to Black
Women have “out married” to a far greater extent then
Black Women to all other ethnicities
4. New York State (1919-1964) Found in only 2 years the
percentage of Black females interracially married was
greater then the male percentage (1919 &amp; 1935)
5. Over the years males have accounted for between 41 90% of all black mixed marriages
Relevant History/Facts
a. Highest incidence of “out marriage” is namely in the western
states

Useful Statistics
Are Interracial relationships negatively impacting the Black
Community?

Current interracial marriage disparities
In 1967, the Supreme Court ruling in Loving v. Virginia struck down the last of the anti­
miscegenation laws in the United States, and with this, the frontier of available marriage
choices shifted out. The number of interracial marriages in the United States has been on
the rise: 310,000 in 1970, 651,000 in 1980, and 1,161,000 in 1992 according to the U.S.
Bureau of the census 1993. Interracial marriages represented 0.7% of all marriages in
1970 to 1.3% in 1980, to 2.2% in 1992. With the introduction of the mixed-race category,
the 2000 census revealed interracial marriage to be somewhat more widespread, with
2,669,558 interracial marriages recorded, or 4.9% of all marriages (census 2000 PHC-T-

�.19) (Here, marriages between two mixed-race persons, or where they are the same race
but one is Hispanic and the other not, are not counted as interracial.)
Although mixed-race partnering has increased, the United States still shows
huge disparities between African American male and African American
female endogamy statistics. The 1990 census reports that 17.6% of African
American marriages occur with White Americans. Yet African American men
are 2.5 times more likely to be married to white women than African
American women to white men. In the 2000 census, 239,477 African
American male to white female and 95,831 white male to African American
female marriages were recorded, again showing the 2.5-1 ratio. Despite this,
slightly more white men are married than white women.

Cohabitation and interracial marriage
African American men are 2.5 times more likely to be married to a white spouse and 3.3
times more likely to be co-habitating with a White American, as compared to their African
American female counterparts. Research yields that 7% of married African American
men are with white wives and 15% of African American men cohabit with white women

Immigrants and interracial marriage
It is found that racial endogamy is much stronger for immigrants as compared to natives;
it is 4.9 times more likely for immigrants of African descent than for African Americans.
Additionally, immigrants of African descent have the highest rates of endogamy of
immigrants. Also, African immigrants are much more likely to marry other same-race
immigrants and African Americans, than to out-marry racially. Native-born White
Americans are also 1.6 times more likely to marry a native-born African American than
an immigrant of African descent. Female immigrants of African descent are generally
more likely to marry native-born whites than their male counterparts.
Prison Rates: In 2004, more than 2.1 million Americans, or roughly 1 out of every 138,
were in prisons or jails approximately 40.2% of the prison population is black, while
32.1% of the population is Hispanic
Black or African American 12.8% or 37.9 million,

Black Community has changed ultimately from where it was in the past

1) On one hand in the past it was never accepted
2) Now it is more widespread from Black Males perspective
Black Men enslaved historically by white men
Black women enslaved historically by white men/females - separation
with their children - Stigma to raise their black daughters to marry
black men because they saw it as a degradation of their family (own

September 18, 2006
Welcome all. No group of people, have had the unique historical, social and political
struggles that black women endure. This year Black Women United will evaluate the
matters that have troubled all women in order to see how these problems pertain more
specifically to women of color. We believe that only by understanding the issues that
affect all women can we fully comprehend our own. So today we will begin to explore
the concerns that press us most, by taking a look at the future meeting topics.

-Trials
What do you think are the most vital problems that women of color face today?
What are the sever health issues for black women?

Are women of color adapting to the American image of beauty, if so how?
What rights do we have as women? Will they be guaranteed in the future?
Is the role that black men play in our society beneficial to us?
What role does sexuality play in our self worth?

How do we feel about other women? Do we feel the need to compete with each other?

How have black women changed in history?

-Triumphs
What significant advances have black women made?
How are we as a group in the business world?

-Expectations
What are your expectations for black women in the future?

Will we improve or decline?

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                    <text>Talented Tenth Theory: The Controversy of the Black Elite
Meeting Topic for Wednesday September 13th, 2006
“[Talented tenth] it is the problem of developing the Best of this race that they may guide
the Mass away from the contamination and death of the Worst, in their own and other
races.”
1.

2.

History: The Souls of Black Folk written by W.E.B DuBois (1903) provides
an insight on the talented tenth theory.
A) Booker T. Washington- African American educator as well as the founder
of the Tuskegee Institute
1) Taught African Americans trade skills and industrial training
2) Felt that having a trade would gain the respect of the White
community
3) Felt that trade skills provided economic security to all African
Americans
4) Gained place and consideration in the north
B) W.E.B DuBois highly criticized the acts of this industrial movement
1) DuBois believed that academic education was more important
then trade education
2) Emphasis on industrial education actually kept African
Americans trapped in lower social and economic classes if
African Americans stuck with trades
3) Felt that if all we asked for was to be recognized by the White
community for our trades; then that would be the extent to which
what we were given
4) Felt that arts and sciences were the best route to achieving an
equal state
5) Argued that although arts and sciences through education was a
direct way to deal with this problem, it was NOT meant for all
people. (leads into the theory)
Talented Tenth Theory

Definitions
Elite:
a group of persons exercising the major share of authority or influence within a

larger group
representing the most choice or select; best

Elitism:
1.

practice of or belief in rule by an elite.

2.

consciousness of or pride in belonging to a select or favored group.

�A) The theory of the talented tenth provided by W.E.B Dubois is an essay which
describes the necessity of the top 10% of the African American people to take
responsibility and lead the rest of the 90%.
B) The core of his theory is the idea that educated African Americans are obliged
to sacrifice their “personal interest and endeavors in favor of community
leadership activities designed to improve the social, economic, and political
condition of the race” (DuBois, 1948)
C) Controversies
A. The talented tenth theory separates African Americans
i. Did DuBois really believe that only those with means could
become members of this elitist group?
ii. Was he only cultivating an entourage of elitist who would
exploit the rest of the people or seek individual gain at the
expense of the masses?
iii. Program contemplated the uplift of a few rather then the
development of many
iv. Criticism by other leaders (Booker T.) showed that they
disapproved of this concept because it looked as if he separated
the race and only those that were financially capable of
attaining a higher education were basically responsible for
leading the rest of the people and did not effectively involve or
portray anyone’s interest
B. DuBois’ defense
i. Rejecting the criticisms as not being “fair” to his original
meaning
ii. Years after proposing this concept he acknowledged that he did
not fully articulate the responsibilities or obligations of the
Talented tenth that could prevent the misconception of his
theory
iii. Theory based on the educated who would future educate many
generations
iv. Leadership of African Americans was much more needed in
intellect rather then physical muscle
C. Questions
1. Is DuBois’ Talented Tenth engaging in leadership
activities as was the original idea?
2. Have the Talented Tenth forsaken their responsibility
to their communities in response to personal
gratification and accomplishments?
3. Is the theory of the Talented Tenth still needed today?
4. Should we be defined by our educational attainment,
our occupation, and income?
5. DuBois stated that to belong to this Talented Tenth you
must get an education through higher education; such as
college. Do you agree with this?
6. Are these Blacks lifting as they climb?

�7. Are members of the Black Middle Class engaging in
the leadership activities of their respective
communities?
8. Is there a distinction between the Talented Tenth and
the Black Middle Class?
Study which shows the talented tenth are actually engaged and working in their
communities, yet the Black Middle Class look to attain personal gratification and success
through materials and class issues.

“Here is a race transplanted through the criminal foolishness of your fathers.
Whether you like it or not the millions are here, and here they will remain. If you do
not lift them up, they will pull you down. Education and work are the levers to uplift
a people. Work alone will no do it unless inspired by the right ideals and guided by
intelligence. Education must no simply teach work - it must teach Life. The
Talented Tenth of the Negro race must be made leaders of thought and missionaries
of culture among their people. No others can do this work and Negro colleges must
train men for it. The Negro race, like all other races, is going to be saved by its
exceptional men.” (William Edward Burghardt Du Bois)

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

202 Talbert
Amherst Campus

Dear Black Students, Faculty and Staff,

Recently the Black Student Union elections were
held.
I was elected President along with my board of
Taharka Odinga (V.P.), Eileen Strachan (Sec.), Monica
Towles (Treas.), and Lisa Webb (Act. Coordinator).
With these new positions had come the task of turning
the Black Student Union around.

I have the utmost faith in our new boards ability
to achieve this goal, but I also know that we can’t
accomplish this goal by ourselves. We need you, the
black faculty and staff at U.B., to help give us the
guidance, leadership and cooperation that we will des
perately need this upcoming year. We will need your
feedback, criticisms amd suggestions to help make our
union a functional, responsible and effective organi
zation.
I’m sure that some of you have developed a neg
ative image of the B.S.U. (Black Student Union) and
it will be our (82-83 board) task to eliminate any
and all of the negative images that you have of the
B.S.U. We can’t do this without your criticisms of the
things that you’ve seen in the past year(s).
Without this feedback, we may repeat some of the things
that you have been disappointed with. This we do not
want to do.

For those of you who have seen something positive
in our organization’s past efforts, let us know so that
we will be able to duplicate and/or increase those
events, activities or whatever it was that impressed
you.
For those of you who haven’t seen anything posi
tive or negative, I’m sure that you will have some
suggestions as to how we can become an effective B.S.U.

�I guess what it boils down to is that we, the
Black Student Union, need each and everyone of you to
help us get our union together. Call or come by our
office at 202 Talbert and leave your ideas and/or
criticisms with us so that we can prosper from this feed
back. Our phone number is 656-3029 and my home phone
number is 895-1484.
Together I feel that we can develop a Black Student
Union that all of us, faculty, staff and students, can
be proud of. We don’t profess to be able to turn the
B.S.U. around in one year but we do profess to begin the
process of getting the Black Student Union on the right
track. Please help us help the black students at U.B.
and together we will all prosper.

Thank you,

Arthur O. Eve Jr.
President (82-83)
Black Student Union

&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Black Student Union

S.U.N.Y.A.B

BSU Handbook 1980

�Welcome my Sisters and Brothers,
On behalf of the Black Student Union, I would like to
welcome all of the incoming freshmen and the other
brothers and sisters who have transferred to our univer
sity. We believe by your choice that you have made an
excellent academic decision, mainly, because the State
University at Buffalo has a number of very fine depart
ments with reputations of national renown. Let me not
forget also those sisters and brothers who attended the
university last year and who managed to survive our in
famous attrition rate.
As president of the Black Student Union, I
would like to introduce you to the principles that
underline and give direction to our organization. First,
there is the concept of Unity. Unity serves a very impor
tant function: it brings everyone of different cities,
cultures, and backgrounds together under a common
goal and objective, to stimulate positive change. In ex
amining our history, it is clear that the major ac omplishments
that we have contributed to civilization
(mathematics, chemistry, physics, medicine, etc.) were
made possible by a united Human effort. The erection
and longevity of the Egyptian pyramids attests to the
successfulness of a united Black effort. Through the
concept of Unity, the Black Student Union will reach its
full potential, which is to provide services to the Black
student body. Second, is the concept of SelfDetermination. By this we mean that we all have an
equal voice in the direction, goals, and objectives for the
Black Student Union; because the Black Student Union
is our Union! Also the Black Student Union believes
unswervingly in the emphasis upon academic success,
cultural awareness and community involvement. All
three, we feel contritube to the realization of one’s self
worth and self-potential, thereby actualize one for the
betterment of himself and his society. Third, is the con
cept of Progressive Economics. For the academic year of
80 to 81, the Black Student Union received a budget of
$17,000 from mandatory fees. On the surface $17,000
may appear to be more than adequate; when examined
more closely, a budget of $17,000 cannot provide for the
essential services of a student body of over 3,000.

Therefore, the Black Student Union must begin to place
emphasis upon progressive economics (fund raising) to
provide those essential services that we all need.
Moreover, progressive economics will stimulate our
creativity and further expand what are our temporary
limitations. The fourth and final concept is that of Pur
pose. Here we ask the question why are we here, why
will we send our children to college? The answer of
course is that we must all try to improve our present
economic and sociological condition in life. It is very im
portant that we as other minorities on higher education
throughout the nation succeed, for as we advance so will
our people. That is why programs such as B.S.U.,
E.O.P. and S.E.E.K. must be maintained, to protect the
integrity of opportunity in higher education for all
minorities, eliminating the inadvertent attachment to
an inferiority disillusion.
As a compliment to the above, we hope to accomplish
the following objectives:
A) More membership involvement on the decision
making level of the Black Student Union.
B) Delegate authority and responsibility to more
people and thereby encourage more interest in student
related problems.
C) Maintain good communications between the ex
ecutive board and the membership of the Black Student
Union.
D) Maintain a good rapport with our local communi
ty and its organizations.
E) Create a viable and working relationship with the
faculty and staff of the university.
Now more than ever, the most important factors that
will determine our success will be our awareness of our
environment and our responses to it. We want your sug
gestions, we encourage your active participation!
Sincerely,
Wallace C. Ferrell
President

�Financial Aid
The outlook for financial aid for the 1980-81 academic
year has some positive as well as negative aspects in
volved.
On the positive side, the Financial Aid Office has ex
perienced the largest number of applications from
students in its history. Our College Work-Study funding
was increased substantially, which will enable more
students to secure on and off-campus employment.
There has been an increased number of students who
have been awarded Basic Educational Opportunity
Grants, even though Congress has decreased each grant
by $50 from the amounts originally scheduled. More
students have become aware of their eligibility for the
New York State Higher Education Services Corporation

(NYSHESC) loans and there has been a substantial in
crease in applications. With one of the largest Freshman
classes admitted to the University for 1980-81, the
Financial Aid Office made early awards to an increased
number of students on a percentage of need basis.
On the negative side, due to inflation and the limited
amount of campus-based funds, awards have not kept
pace with costs. EOP funds per student were reduced
and later restored to the original funding level. In some
cases the increased work load and late applications may
cause some delays in the disbursement of checks for the
fall semester.
We encourage all students to utilize the services and
information available at the Financial Aid Office.

Delay in Cashing Loan Checks
by Joseph Simon
Managing Editor

UB students who qualify for a New York State
guaranteed loan will face a two week delay from now on bet
ween the time they present their loan check to the Universi
ty, and the time the actual cash is in their pocket.
Some students affected by this policy change might be left
without money for food, rent and books in September.
The new rule instituted by the New York State Higher
Education Services Corporation (NYSHESC) has altered
the method in which students obtain their loan money. In
the past, checks could be endorsed by the University and
cashed at a bank the same day. Students must now deposit
the check with the Office of Students Accounts and receive a
University refund — minus tuition and fee charges — 30
days later.
Designed to cut down on the number of forged University
endorsements, the new system went into effect for all New
York State colleges and universities at the beginning of July.
‘Unnecessary hassles’
Students who depend on the loan to pay their early
semester living expenses will now have to find another
source of money while waiting for their University refund.
Although NYSHESC stipulates that the money be handed
out in 30 days, Director of the Office of Students Accounts
Clifford Wilson said, “It’ll take no more than two weeks”
at UB.
The rule will greatly increase the workload of Student Ac
counts, which will handle most of the added paperwork.
“The volume is going to be enormous,” Wilson remarked,
“but we’ll process the checks as quickly as we can.”
Rudy Williams, Assistant Dean for Minority Affairs and
Financial Aid at UB Medical School, acknowledges the
previous misuse of the loan program but said the new system
will cause “a lot of unnecessary hassles.”
He noted that the “delays” and “confusion” the
NYSHESC rule will cause far outweigh the past abuses.
Because UB is unique in not requiring tuition payment
before beginning classes, Wilson instituted another rule he
predicted would not be popular with students.
He said that because the University sends out tuition bills
page four

three weeks into the semester, a student with a loan check
who comes to his office before the billing date technically
owes no tuition money. However, the tuition will be
deducted from the check even though the student has not
been billed for the amount.
Assistant Director for the Office of Financial Aid David
Bouman disagrees with this rule. He believes a student
“owes” nothing until he gets the bill,” and added that this
University’s policy of dealing with allocation of Financial
Aid has gone “from one extreme to the other.”
When asked if this was legal, Williams from the Medical
Schools responded “that’s a very good question.”
Wilson defended the rule as a “sound business practice,”
but admitted that his office is likely “to take some verbal
abuse from students” because of it.
Student hardship
Another aspect of the new system which might further in
convenience students, is the requirements that proof be
shown of any Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) award. If
a student does not show an official slip stating the TAP
award, the amount will not be credited to his account. This
will result in a further reduction, as compared to last year,
of cash a student will have on hand at the beginning of the
year.
Director of the Office of Financial Aid Clarence Conner
pointed out, however, that students have had plenty of time
to apply for this Fall’s TAP program. He admitted though
that “if students knew this (new rule) was coming, they
would have responded (to filing for TAP) a little more
quickly.”
Wilson said he would refund any student’s TAP amount
once receiving official notification.
Bouman agrees that there is aneed to take some action
against check forgers, but he said the new rules are to ex
cessive, and have been instituted too late.
“When you suddenly tighten up without any advance
warning, it’s going to cause a lot of hardship on people who
thought the operation was still running the same way,”
Bouman explained.
Wilson concluded that “it’s like a lot of other crazy things
that go on around here (UB).”

�Black Studies
In response to the question, what does the coming year
hold for Black Studies? I am inclined to believe that the
future is both optimistic and clouded with questions.
The atmosphere for progress is dependent on anumber
of variables. The Department will come under review
and evaluation this Fall. The support that is given to
the department is vital to the assurance that support is
existent, and that the fundamental issues facing Black
Studies will be clearly and positively addressed.
Namely, if Black Studies can resist the budgetary
constraints faced by the SUNY system, and absorb the
external pressures from within the University to Co-opt
its aims and goals, Black Studies could con
ceivably reverse the general decline experienced by
most departments around the country. While the
department has experienced tremendous losses over
theyears, its credibility still remains intact. Black
Studies at SUNYAB has one of the most dynamic pro
grams with individual faculty in the entire country. Its
vitality, versatility, are its “Cause celebre”. The
outstanding reputation of its scholarship in the study of
Africa, Afro-American, and Carribean Studies is proven
by the recent promotion and tenure status of Dr. Keith
Henry. This solidifies Black Studies as a fully tenured
department, a phenomenon not easily attainable. Other
signposts to the resurgence of Black Studies is the
renewed interest by students in the departments
courses and advisement activities. If student interest

remains high for 1980, Black Studies can boast that it
indeed serves over eighty percent of Black student
enrollment. By any standard this is the most positive
step toward greater unity that we must seriously pro
tect. Another factor in the departments future is the
support from concerned professional staff members who
teach courses unselfishly. They have contributed great
ly to an ever increasing pool of resources that the
department has at its disposal. Finally, the role of the
community cannot be under emphasized. In the past the
department has contributed much to enhance communi
ty organization activities, Black Studies will continue to
offer its expertise in areas of community life which ex
pands knowledge, creates enrichment and provides a
source for the improvement of the quality of life.
In conclusion 1980 will see an increase in unemploy
ment for Black Americans, inflationary spiral which will
continue to eat away at the spending power of Black
families, and a resurgence of anti-Black sentiment as the
Political, economic and social systems continue to
erode. The role of Black Studies in 1980 will face increas
ed demands to educate and promote Black pride and self
reliance. This year Black Studies will continue to fight
the struggle for its existence. Without the aid of its own
constituency Black Studies will remain a paradox in an
otherwise hostile educational system.
— Jim Pappas,
Chairman, Black Studies Program

EOP in the Days Ahead
I am pleased to have this opportunity to write a guest
article for the BSU Newsletter as Director of the Educa
tional Opportunity Program. I also think the area of
discussion, the outlook for EOP, is fitting as we begin
the first Fall semester of a new decade — the 1980’s. (So
you see, our existence now touches three decades, the
60s, 70s, and 80s).
First of all, from my vantage point, the need for EOP
is as great as — if not greater than — it was at its begin
ning as EPIS back in 1968. (One only needs to survey
the economic, social and political scene for evidence.) As
far as we can envision, EOP will continue to be needed
for a long time. Our major objective remains unchanged
— to implement the commitment of this university to
open its doors to the educationally and economically
disadvantaged but potentially able.
As I am sure you know, essential to the success of
EOP are the supportive services it provides or help to
provide: counseling, tutoring, developmental courses
and financial aids. What is the outlook regarding these
crucial areas.
We see a continuation of these services. Taken in
dividually, the counseling component has matured and
services expanded. During the 80s, these services, so
vital to the success of EOP students, will be better than
ever. Our tutoring program is solid in terms of personnel
but we have no tutorial laboratory. In terms of facilities,
we cannot at this time envision change. But the quality
of instruction will be even better. We made strides in

our developmental courses during the 70s with im
provements in content, teaching methods, evaluation
and courses offered. Improvement in educational quali
ty is likely to continue. Finally, on the matter of finan
cial aid, the trend of increasing federal and decreasing
state support is likely to continue. This year, many, but
not all EOP students will receive a slightly smaller
grant and this will involve some reliance on loan. Yet,
the basic educational support, based on need, will be
met. The objective, I.E. to meet educationally related
needs remains unchanged. Given the current economical
and political conditions, the present level of support will
probably remain as is for the next few years at least.
Yet, there is no need to become dispirited. The finan
cial support for educationally related needs may be
somewhat diminished, but we shall continue to press for
additional funds. Yet it is a far cry from the limited
numbers ofsuch dollars available during the early 1960s,
the decade when EOP began. Finally, our expectations
of you the students is unsevering. We expect you to
study and study mightily. There is no substitute for ef
fort in order to experience educational achievement — no
“royal road to learning.” We expect you to make
satisfactory progress toward a degree, each and every
semester. Finally, we expect you to earn a degree. In
this you can be assured of our backing.

�St. Augustine’s Center
Foster Care Program
“Familyness” is the theme of the St. Augustine
Center’s Family Foster Care Program. The Foster Care
Program began placement of children into foster homes
in July of 1978. This program thus establishes the first
Black community foster care placement agency in
upstate New York. The need for children to become part
of a family has been stressed since its existence. The
research demonstration grant that they receive was us
ed to answer the needs of the so-called “hard to place
child”. Annette Peoples, Director of the Foster Care
Program describes “hard to place” or “special cases” as
usually black children ages 12 and over, pregnant teens,
teens with children and post and pre-institutional
children.
Referrals come to the program from family court, the
Division for Youth, Child Welfare, St. Augustine’s
School for Pregnant Teens and various other agencies.
The program has succeeded in placing children from the
inner city into foster homes and is constantly striving
for continued growth to enhance the strength of
families in the Black community.

Another phase of the program will be geared toward
establishing a preventive service component which
would help the children to remain with their natural
families. The program would also appeal to the relatives
of children presently in foster care to explore the
possibility of relatives caring for the children. St.
Augustine’s Foster Care Program is trying to secure
funds for preventive service component, and currently
there is legislation in Albany.
Comprehensive Program of Services for the Pregnant
Teenager &amp; Teenage Parent
A new and innovative program geared to serve preg
nant teenagers and their families is the St. Augustine’s
Center Comprehensive Program of Services for the
Pregnant Teenager and Teenage Parent. Ms. Geraldine
Butler who will serve as Project Director is working
final plans for the project at the 1554 Fillmore Avenue
site.

The program is a multi-service approach geared to
help pregnant teenagers in school. It will provide an ac
cessible and effective program designed to support
families and increase the teenagers opportunity for in
dependence and self worth. Case finding is being done
through local schools, churches, community organiza
tions, and social organizations.
Service to the Pregnant Teens and Teenage Parents
include:
1) Education — Alternate setting providing
students with a full scope of curricular offerings, plus
special programs such as parenting and home manage
ment.
2) Health — Individual health education and health
care from one or more agencies, health departments,

hospitals or private physicians.
3) Social Service — Counseling services (both on
going and crisis) by social workers, counselors or school
social workers.
4) Mental Health — Assessed by consistent home
visitor, course work, group work, individual counseling.
5) Support Services — School meals, transportation,
home visits, follow-up counseling.
6) Residential Crisis Services — Short term living
arrangements in an apartment style residence called
“Comfort House” located at 1154 Fillmore Avenue.

Services to the children of teenage parents include:
Child Care, Physical Health Services, and Social and
Mental Health Counseling.
Support services will be offered to fathers of the
children and extended family members. The multi
service comprehensive program will also offer sex
education and outreach services. Program goals are: To
meet the complex needs of pregnant teenagers and
young parents, their children and significant others in
their lives. To decrease the incidence of dropouts among
pregnant teenagers and schoolage parents through the
integration of services, education, physical health, men
tal health and social services.
Student Career Opportunities Reached Thru Experience
(SCORE)
The St. Augustine Center’s Student Career Oppor
tunities Reached thru Experience Program (SCORE)
was created to provide career awareness, work ex
perience, job placement and counseling to high school
students and college freshmen, with economically disad
vantaged backgrounds. The program, located at 222
Northland Avenue, operates under the direction of Mr.
Tyrone Hargrove. Participants are recruited from area
high schools, various community agencies and the New
York State Employment Service.

The objectives of the program are three fold: (1) to im
prove education outcomes by relating teaching and
work experience to the concept of career development;
(2) to enhance the participants ability to move into entry
level positions of the labor force and (3) to provide sup
portive services such as career, employment, education
and personal counseling to participants. Career
awareness is the program’s bottom line.
Student participants are between the ages of 16-21
years. They earn a stipend for working twenty (20)
hours a week during the school year, and thirty-five (35)
hours a week during the summer vacation. SCORE has
many supportive services to offer participants such as:
group session seminars, tours, speakers, films, training
in job readiness, academic tutorial assistance and also
job placement. After developing to a satisfactory level,
the student is placed in permanent full and part-time
employment situations dependent upon individual in
terest.

�Center for Comprehensive Community Services
The Center for Comprehensive Community Services
now established in the old School 84 building, has a
variety of health and social programs which focus
primarily on the provision of preventive health services
to children and their families. On site medical and
human service needs are also met. Under medical ser
vices, the center will provide pediatric, adult medical,
obstetrics and gynecological services. The dental pro
gram is providing general care for both adults and
children. The human services component of the center
will assist clients in day to day problems such as: hous
ing, social welfare, transportation and the provision of
an array of counseling services.
Also included in the center will be a medical health
component; an Outreach Child Health Assurance Pro
gram (CHAP); Health Education; Hypertension Screen
ing Program; a Youth Employment Project and Family
Planning. The proposed approach to service delivery
will be innovative, not only because of the services of
fered but because of the approaches to service delivery
which will be utilized. The center will attempt to in
crease accessibility and coordination among its services
in the following ways:

1) The center will operate a variety of programs
beginning with a core of preventive health services.
2) The center will provide space for needed pro
grams operated by or through other agencies.
3) The center will function as a site for interaction
between community residents and representatives of
various public and private provider agencies.
4) The center will be a model for demonstrating
benefits of pooling federal, state and local resources. In
particular the sharing of certain administrative costs
will conserve scarce dollars for direct service provision.
The Board of Directors, comprised of community
leaders, human service professional and community
residents, will play key roles in developing the health
and social service needs of the community. During the
first year of operation, the center expects to provide
direct services in the following areas.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

primary ambulatory health care
community health education
health outreach
hypertension screening and treatment
mental health services
youth employment and counseling

The center is currently developing and operating on a
total of more than a half million dollars from the State of
New York and a quarter of a million dollars fro the U.S.
Public Health Service. By next year, that figure will ex
ceed one million dollars.
The coordination of federal, state and local govern
mental programs at the neighborhood level, as proposed
at the Center for Comprehensive Community Services,
as well as the family focused case management ap
proach to actual service delivery, promise to improve
page twelve

the quality of life for large numbers of residents of Buf
falo’s central city area, and provide a model for future
State/Federal initiatives in human services programm
ing.

Youth Development Center No. 6
The establishment of YDC.6 in Buffalo, New York
came about as a result of a legislative mandate in 1975.
The mandate provided the establishment of a 50 bed
YDC complex for the purpose of rehabilitating
youngsters between 13 and 17 years of age. This came
at a time when the validity of YDC’s in NYC was being
questioned. The YDC No. 6 in Buffalo operates out of
1003 Genesee Street. The Genesee Street Program is a
sixteen bed unit for boys only. Under the umbrella of
YDC No. 6 is the seven bed Group Home Residence for
girls located at 567 Richmond Avenue, a seven bed
group home residence for boys located at 2238 Main
Street and a Community Outreach Program at 1184
Genesee Street. Plans are being finalized for two more
centers, one group home residence for girls at 689 Kens
ington and another residence for boys at 967 Jefferson
Avenue. All admissions to the YDC No. 6 program go
through the Genesee Street Facility. All of the centers
are within the city limits of Buffalo and easily accessible
to transportation, shopping areas and cultural and
educational facilities. YDC No. 6 has developed many
positive relations with its surrounding communities,
and is considered an integrate part of the Buffalo Com
munity. These relationships are the result of responsive,
cooperative and aggressive interaction with agencies in
the public and private arenas.
The total staff consists of approximately 52 persons
and they encourage family interaction because they feel
the family has a direct influence on the youngsters
growth and development. Youngsters entering YDC No.
6 are usually experiencing problems in school and at
home or the community. Contacts and referrals continue
to be made from city and family courts, Department of
Social Services, Board of Education, Community and
Social Agencies, Religious Organizations, Parents and
the Division for Youth.

YDC No. 6 uses a tri-phase system of instruction and
discipline for the boys program. Upon entering,
residents are placed in Phase I Orientation, and the ad
vancements to Phase 2 and 3 are contingent on the in
dividuals positive response to the program. The educa
tion component is large and an integral part of YDC.
Youngsters who complete the program receive follow-up
services and counselors by the aftercare staff. Periodic
contacts based upon youth needs are ongoing for a two
year period.
An advisory committee to YDC No. 6 is made up of a
group of dedicated community people and community
leaders, who live in the communities where YDC
facilities are located. They act as a liaison between the
community and YDC No. 6, offering suggestions and
recommendations to help improve services for youth.

�Alexander Pushkin
(1799-1837)
Russia’s greatest poet, Alexander Sergeyevich
Pushkin, was the grandson of Abram Hannibal,
the transplanted African who achieved greatness
in the armies of the Czars. Pushkin’s poetry is still
widely loved and read in Russia and, despite the
passing years, holds front rank in the land of
Tolstoy and Dostoevski.
Pushkin’s physical appearance does not fit the
common ideas of how a poet should look. He had a
short muscular frame, a head of thick, dark, curly
hair, a flat nose, thick lips and a swarthy complex
ion. Only his intensely brilliant eyes suggested
the poet within.
For his early education Pushkin was sent to
Tsarkoe Selo near St. Petersburg in 1811. He left
this school in 1818 and joined the Russian foreign
ministry as a clerk. His early poems “Ode to
Freedom” and “Noel” were thought to be critical
of the government of Czar Alexander I, and he was
sent to the south of Russia to Ekaterinoslav. Here,
he wrote “Ruslan and Ludmila,” epic of six parts,
containing 3,000 lines.
After two years in Ekaterinoslav, Pushkin was
then transferred to the small village of Kishinev in
the Caucasus. Here he began his “Eugene Onegin”
under the influence of Lord Byron’s work and after
three years in Kishnev, he was shifted to Odessa,
where he wrote the “Bakchisarai Fountain”. In
1824, he was discharged from the government’s
service and returned to his mother’s native village
of Mikhailvskoe.
Poetry became his life. In 1825 Pushkin finished
“Boris Godunov,” and in 1832, “Eugene Onegin.”
Both later became operas of the same title.
Already behind him were his Captive of the
Caucasus, a novel and “Ode to Napoleon,” plus
“The Gypsies.” In his “The Bronze Horseman,”
Pushkin expressed his concern with the rights of
the individual as opposed to those of the state. His
novel The Captain's Daughter was to influence
greatly subsequent novels in Russian literature.
Alexander Pushkin was far from the brooding
poet. He had a fiery temperament; his considerable
charm saw him through many love affairs and
dashing escapades. He married a beautiful but
frivolous woman, Nathalie Goncharova, whose
cousin engaged him in a fatal duel over her. Stilled
by death at the age of thirty-eight, Pushkin still
speaks to the world through is impassioned
poetry.

�History
Marcus A. Garvey
(1887-1940)
To some people he was a charlatan, a naive dreamer;
to others a messiah. To himself, Marcus A. Garvey was
the Negro’s best hope of finding dignity and honor, not
in America, but in his original home of Africa.
Coming to America from Jamaica in 1916, Marcus
Garvey found dissatisfaction, discontent, and frustra
tion among millions of Negroes pushed northward by
oppressive conditions in the South during World War 1.
Within two months, Garvey had recruited 1500
followers for his Universal Negro Improvement
Association (U.N.I.A.). Five years later he claimed up
wards of one million members.
A short, stocky, dark man possessing a shrewd sense
of crowd psychology, Garvey preached economic in
dependence and the return of Negroes to Africa as the
solution to being a “Negro” in the western world. In
1921 he called an international convention which at
tracted thousands of Negroes to New York City from
twenty-five countries, and laid the foundation for a
steamship company, The Black Star Line, and the
Negro Factory Corporation as devices for business and
industry among Negroes.
For five years Garvey led many of the discontented
masses in New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and
other cities. He praised everything black and was
suspicious of everything white. He formed the Univer
sal Black Cross Nurses, the Universal African Motor
Corps., and the Black Flying Eagles. His newspaper,
The Negro World, carried his views and information
about the U.N.I.A. to all corners of the country. While
millions in the masses followed him without hesitation,
Negro intellectuals were skeptical of him and his pro­
mises. In 1925 Garvey was imprisoned for using the
United States mails to defraud in connection with the
sale of stock in his Black Star Line, and his dream began
to fade. After serving two years in prison, he was
deported from America and died in London in 1940, a
lonely and penniless man.
Marcus A. Garvey captured the interest of the or
dinary Negro as no other leader before or since, but his
dream was based on a fatal flaw: his failure to under
stand that the overwhelming mass of Negroes con
sidered America their rightful home and had no real
desire to leaveit. His weakness lay in thinking that the
negro, after helping to build America, would abandon it.
His greatness hides in his daring to dream of a better
future for Negroes somewhere on earth.
Edmund Cronon, The Story of Marcus Garvey and the Univer
sal Negro Improvement Association (Madison, Wisconsin,
1955); E. U. Essien-Udom, Black Nationalism: A Search for an
Identity in America (Chicago, 1962), PP. 36-39.

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

Charlotte Mew quotes Lord Byron ("Man's love is of man's life a part; 'tis woman's whole existence.") and illustrates the quote with an ink drawing. In the drawing, a seated man reads the newspaper and smokes a pipe while a woman who is knelt before him removes his shoes.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;
 &#13;
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry. &#13;
 &#13;
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.  &#13;

Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984. &#13;
 &#13;
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.</text>
