Several students have formed a
Computer Club which consists of

Each Computer Science or
Business major is required to
take a class in computer because
of the experience needed to com

According to White, in the
world of computers, it is advance
knowledge when you become
aware of the changes thai com
puters can make in the years to
come. White stated, “I encourage
more people to get involved with
computers or at least have an
idea of what it is all about.”
White says that there will be
semester workshops available
for students and the outside
public. However, the workshop
schedule will be posted at a later
date.

The brothers of Alpha Phi
Alpha Fraternity Inc., sponsored
a pre-black college day forum in
the Pine Arts Threater, Thurs
day, September 24th.
Dr. Kamau Kambon, a pro
fessor of education at St. Aug.,
spoke on the topic: “Blacks
Yesterday, Today, and Tomor
row”, which was designed to
educate our brothers and sisters
who are enslaved by “mental
genocide.”
“A doer doesn’t talk, and a
talker doesn’t do;” “The U.N. is
a puppet of the American govern
ment;” “When you are an enemy
to yourself, you are also an
enemy to your people;” “Is the
black man lost because he is op
pressed, or is he oppressed
because he is lost?”, were a few
factual and inspirational quotes
that Dr. Kambon expressed. He
also encouraged blacks to take
care of themselves emotionally,
psychologically, and physically,
and to recognize the three kinds
of education: book, street, and
understanding the !>>stem.
Calvin Harrison, president of
the SGA, who gave opening
remarks, encouraged students to
feed the mind intellectually, and
to attend more informative pro
grams that entertain black
jninds.
