behind the prison walls of Butner Federal Correctional Institute
and participated in a round-robin basketball tournament. After
advancing to the finals, they defeated the inmate’s all-star team
in an action-packed round ball contest. Tlieir only problem now is
to decide how to divide the championship trophy evenly between
them. Standing left to right are Anthony Leary, Randy Jones,

It is a smaU piece of history
As precious and as delicate as our past.
We know the coverage is limited
But we pray that it will spark in you
A desire to search for and contribute
To the history of the BSM at UNC!
TTie above is an except from Ebony
Images, Volume II, a yearbook com-
menorating the ten-year history of the
Black Student Movement at UNC. Copies
of Ebony Images were ready for
distribution toward the end rf November.
“Students were really enthusiastic atx>ut
Ebony Images the first day or so that they
were distributed, then interest dwindled,
Co-editor BeraDine Ward said. “I really
hope the decline was because it was near
the end (rf the semester and peo(de were
running low on money. Some students
asked us to hide copies until this semester.
Well, we’re starting the sales drive again-
right when everybody is becoming more
financially secure, so money can’t t>e an
excuse ”
Co-editor Kay Powell said, “Unfor
tunately, most ai the subscribers were not
student; they were community and
faculty. We were dissatisfied with the few
BSM memt)ers who subscribed in advance
or purchased copies when they returned
fnHn the printer. But, we’re certain sales
will increase this semester.”
Inspite of the slow sales, responses to the
appearance of Ebony Images have been
favorable. Clarence High, a staff member,
said,“I am pleased with the way it turned
out, and I think it reflects the amount of
work that went into it. I only wish it could
have been larger.” UNC admissions and a
member erf the Duke University Black
Student Alliance have requested copies of
Ebony Images .A Times stringer who did
an article on Black student organizations
was sent a copy.
Copies are also located in the North
Carolina Collection in Wilson Library and
at the Southeastern Black Press Institute.
“I hope nobody was given the im
pression,” Powell said, “that the
sororities, fraternities, faculty staff
caucus and other Black campus
organization are sponsored by BSM. These
organizations were included because
Ebony Images is not just a history oi BSM,
but of the Black experience at UNC. Such
organizations are naturaUy a part of that
experience.
Ebony Images was to have been
available last spring, but finanicial dif
ficulties and other (X'oblems delayed
distnbution until fall. Bemadine Ward and
lionell Parker, currently subscription
majiager of the Carolina Times, con
ceived the idea. “We were looking at the
first volume of Ebony Images and joked
about how wonderful it would be to have an
anniversary issue for the end of the
semester,” Ward said. “We quickly
agreed to do it, set out to fmd a staff and
the rest, as the cliche goes, is history.”
As part of a sales dirve, the Ebony
Images staff plans to advertise in Black
Ink, wnte letters to Ink subscribers and
faculty members and place posters on
campus.
