April 23,1981 The Voice Page 9 Student Outraged Congratulations from The Voice to the new SGA officials. EVERETT JOHNSON President David Belgrave Vice-President Bobby Mahdi Business Manager Beverly Edge Miss FSU Carolyn Williams — Miss Rudolph Jones Student Center Africa ’81— Announced (WASH., D.C.)...The National Third World Student Coalition (NT- WSC) and affiliate of the United States Student Association (USSA), wishes to add the collective voice of Third World students to the growing number of per sons who are outraged by the lack of progress in identifying the murderer (s) of young African-American children in Atlanta, Georgia. We are concerned not only because the alleged investigation has failed so far, but because of the unwillingness of the the Atlanta Police Depar tment, Mayor Jackson, and the press to admit to the racially-motivated nature of these senseless crimes. The NTWSC is motivated by anger at the inability of law enforcement officials to recognize patterns of violent crime, especially those committed against Third World people here in the United States. Many of us are aware of the fact that members of racist hate groups are solidly entrenched in conventional law enforcement agencies. We cannot ex pect these same individuals to in vestigate crime against Third World people with an open mind. Some day, Third World communities will realize that they cannot afford to depend upon these individuals to diligently pursue racially-motivated killers. Hopefully, they will learn to build their own community investigative agencies, and in the process show the world that they are capable of keeping order in their own communities. The NTWSC urges student and youth leaders to con sider this proposition carefully. These murders reflect a disturbing trend in our country towards violence as a means of expressing anger and hate. The NTWSC is saddened by the increasingly negative morale tone of world events. Everywhere helpless, frustrated individuals have to take matters into their own hands-causing a fast disintergration of moral con- If you’re thinking about brushing up on your Spanish or taking some cour ses south of the border this summer, there is a new publication you’ll want to review. The 1981 DIRECTORY OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS: LATIN AMERICA is a consolidated catalogue published by 18 of the better academically rated universities and language institutes in Mexico and Cen tral America which offer courses for North Americans. In it, you’ll find tuition fees, course descriptions, housing information, program dates, registration forms and toll-free WATS numbers for free calls to the registration center if you need ad ditional information about the schools or wish to register by phone. Costs are reasonable, ranging from $90 a week including tuition, meals and lodging with families of in hotels. Among the 18 participating schools are large universities including UNAM, sciousness in the world. The NTWSC is the only student organization that deals specifically with the concerns of Third World students across the country. The NT WSC is dedicated to establishing and maintaining communication links bet ween students in this country and the nations of the Third World. The message we have been hearing around the world from students repeats itself over and over again, “How can these murders be happening in the U.S.? We thought that racial problems had been solved. It is clear that this is not true. Is there no limit to the madness of vicious racism?” We have no answers, because violent crimes against,, and between Third World people have become a part of our daily lives. We call on all political, moral and social leaders to denounce the failure of law enforcement officials to staff the Atlanta task force with experienced and dedicated criminal investigators. We criticize federal law enforcement officials for their unwillingness to become involved in the investigation until the pressure of negative publicity forced them to. We pray for the “break” law enfor cement officials are desparately awaiting to materialize. Finally, we hope that they will view these killings from every perspective possible, in cluding a closer look at assult methods taught and used by facist hate groups who are extremely active in the southern region of the country. America must remain free from the fear and anger caused by violent crime. It is our individual duty to prevent future episodes such as these by staying ALERT and teaching our children how to protect themselves. The NTWSC joins with students everywhere in ex pressing sympathy and concern for the parents, relatives and friends of the murdered children of Atlanta, Georgia. the University of Guadalajara, and the University of Veracruz offering a variety of art, language, and area studies courses in English and Spanish at the undergraduate and graduate level. Also included are some excellent language institutes in Cuernavaca, Mexico City, MoreHa, San Miguel, Chalchihuites, Mazatlan, Guadalajara, Saltillo, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. These offer tutorial or small group (3-4 students) classes in conversational Spanish for two to six hours daily. New classes begin at all levels every Monday year round. You can choose to stay as many weeks as you wish paying as you go.
