Goals- Setting Them Up, Knocking Them Dozun The only problem with goals is once you achieve them, you have to make new ones in order to improve. If you make the mistake of being content with your new found success and forget to set new goals for future improvement, then you will eventually deteriorate and end up where you were in the beginning. We are happy to say that we stuck to our schedule for this year and published the eleven issues that we set out to publish. We are also happy that we are now a weekly publication and hope to remain that way...God and our budget willing. However, we also realize that there are other goals to set, other improvements to make. We plan to continue to be a weekly publication, but we also plan to w(»k (Ml the quality of other aspects of One aspect of Blackink that we plan to improve is availability. We realize that many of you do not receive the Ink until T uesday w later. By mailing copies of Black Ink to all members of the Black Student Movement and by placing Blackink distribution stands at convenient places on campus, we hope to alleviate this problem. We also plan to increase coverage of campus and community events. We are well aware that African-American students are involved inalotof activities that have not been featured mBlacklnk (OT any other newsp^r for that matter). Although part of this is due to the fact that our staff is rather small, some of this {Ht)blem is created by weak lines of communicaticm between us and some of the members of the African-American community. Please remember that all students, faulty and staff are welcome as staff or contribu tors. Also remember that the same goes few suggesticHis. We welcome and listen to all comments, suggestions and gripes. Please feel free to leave any comments, letters or suggestions in the Black box in the BSM office or in our office in Suite 108-D. And finally, we would like to thank everybody for helping usout Thank you to the students who have come forth and spent time and effort writing or copy editing. We also would like the faculty support we have received and would like to beg and plead for more. Thedoorisalwaysopen. Andifyouhaven’tworkedwith this semester tell me one thing- why not?- Erika F. Campbell, AkinwoleN*Gai Wright Happy Inside Black Ink Monday, December 10,1990 Cover Story The Veldt is definitely hot, and on the road to bigger and better things. According to arecent feature done on them in this month's Spin magazine. The Veldt is one of "the best and the brightest artists to watch for during the coming year." Playing with such well- known bands as Jesus and Mary Chain, the Cocteau Twins, and recently with Living Colour, the Veldt is not just a local band anymore. They are known throughout the nation as an up and coming attraction— it is only a matter of time before they get the big break that they well deserve. (Don’t miss their December 15 performance at the Cat's Cradle.) —The Veldt Pages 6-7 —Feature— Conceived in boredom and bom as a social club, the Ku Klux Klan has perpetuated a reign of terror in this country for almost two centuries.

Lee’s surrender when six young ex-Confederates met in a law office around this time in 1865 to form a secret club which they called the Ku Klux Klan. —A History Of Racism And Violence Page 3 Reflections Do not be pathetic or ambivalent Get involved because you can make a difference as an individual— but an even more powerful impact can be made if we all work together. —UNC— Not A Productive Place For People Of Color.
