Blacks Not Militant,
According To Peers
Storrs, Conn. (1.P.) Only 10
per cent of the nation's black
college students are militant
in the eyes of their peers. This
finding is one of many repor
ted in a survey conducted by
a University of Connecticut
assistant dean of students.
When asked if the militants
were in control. Dean James
Lyons noted, the respondents
were evenly divided. Twenty
seven per cent said yes, and
the same number said no. Per
haps more telling than the
percentages were some sample
comments:
"No, our black leadership
group is responsible and seems
interested in maintaining high
academic records."
If you are in favor of one,
some, or all of these NCCLU
positions, your help is needed
in writing letters to state leg
islators urging them to adopt
those positions if they have
not done so already. Organiz
ed letter - writing campaigns
can have a profound impact,
especially in a state legislature.
Students should contact Gor
don Thomas, Frazier 32 phone
292-3233. Faculty and staff
please contact Kathy Sebo,
Archdale 213, extension 72.
ißun-off Election
There will be a run-off for
Senate Executive Council
between the Mattheson-Zulick
-Forman and Rice-Lathrop-
Haddad tickets all day Mon
day, March 26, in the small
dining room.
Education Aid
To Be Cut
Students are urged to write
their Senators and Congress
men to ask them to support
federal appropriations for di
rect grants to students, direct
low interest loans, and grants
to colleges to provide jobs for
students. These programs have
recently come under fire from
the administration, and Con
gressional support is manda
tory if they are to continue.
"No, the group in control
appears energetic, responsible
and goal-oriented."
No, our militants for the
most part are angry young
men and only one or two have
any real problems."
"No, the group in control
appears to reflect mature jud
gement and leadership."
"No, the group in control
are moderates who are work
ing hard to build something
good."
"No, our control group is
just damned committed and
concerned/'
Perhaps equally interesting
was Dean Lyons' survey con
clusion that it is not the liberal
Northeast schools which are
taking the lead when it comes
to admitting blacks. He found
that the Midwest compiled the
best record here with the East
tied with the West for third.
Dean Lyons reported the
greatest agreement among his
respondents occurred when
queried on black studies pro
grams and the need for more
black teachers. Sixty-seven of
68 campuses concurred on
these two goals.
Dean Lyons also found evi
dence that the larger a black
student community on cam
pus the smaller the participa
tion of individuals in black
organization programs.
"In those schools where
there are fewer than one hun
dred blacks, most of them are
actively involved in the organ
ization. When the number goes
above this figure, participation
declines. This can be explained
in several ways," he stated.
First, he said, the larger
the group the greater the like
lihood of conflict. Then, he
continued, as the numbers
grow, communications be
come a problem. Finally, he
found that the larger popula
tions often give birth to se
cond and even third black stu
dent organizations.
Although Dean Lyons does
not address himself to the
possibility, it appears that a
similar phenomenon and set
of circumstances exists in the
white student community.
The U of C black adminis
trator also pointed out that
62 out of 68 campuses sur
veyed had black student or
ganizations with the most po
pular names - "Black Student
Organization", followed by
"Black Student Union".

Selections For
Judicial Board
The Selections Committee
for the Campus Judicial
Board has announced that
Ana Azcuy and Don Yelton
have been chosen to serve as
alternates to the Board for the
remainder of ?his year.
Final selections for Judicial
Board members for next year
have not yet been made. All
campus organizations are
therefore encouraged to con
sider their own members for
possible applicants, in order
to insure a broader base of
representation among poten
tial Board members.
Regarding black leadership.
Dean Lyons observed that
one-third of his respondents
believed tuat the most articu
late students were the ones
who acquired the mantle of
leadership.
"They were not always the
best leaders, but possessed the
'rap' necessary to keep the
organization moving." The
student leaders were reported
by nearly one-fourth of the
campuses as being in academic
difficulty. This was attributed
to the time required to handle
leadership responsibilities.
To Th© Editor
March 7, 1973
To The Editor:
There are 165 courageous
people at the Dow Chemical
plant in Bay City which has
been on strike for 14 months.
They would like to enlist the
aid of your newspaper and
members of the student body
so that we may survive. Dow
Chemical is using its unlimited
resources in an attempt to des
troy us economically and eli
minate the collective bargain
ing process of our Local
Union which is 14055 of the
United Steel workers.
Many workers and their
families have suffered unlimi
ted hardships in the loss of in
come and personal property
which they have had to sell in
order to feed their families be
cause Dow Chemical refuses
to resolve an unjust labor dis
pute provoked by Dow Che
mical and its local manage
ment.
In the interest of humanity
we ask that you print this let
ter in your college paper and
that the student body aid us
by refusing to buy Handi-wrap
plastic food wrap and Ziploc
bags which are made at the
Bay City plant.
If there are individuals or
groups on campus who would
like to aid us in this humane
endeavor, please contact me
at the address which is given
below. We request that they
boycott the above mentioned
products which are produced
by Dow Chemical in Bay City
and by any other aid or acti
vities which may aid our
cause.
Thank you,
