A group of black students at
Forsyth Technical Institute are
organizing a black Student
Union (BSU) at the Institution,
. it *t- * ?
ii was icanicu tfUS weeK.
In an interview at the
campus earlier this week
members of the newly formed
organization charged that
black students were not being
represented and added that
the BSU plans to eliminate
this.
Bendetta Shows, president
of the BSU, said the

the door the man tried to force
his way in. When Miss
Clemons resisted he shot her
between the eyes, entered the
cafe and shot her three more
times as she lay on the floor.
Adding to the tragedy of the
incident was/ the fact that
nothing yas taken. Money
was still in the cash register
when police arrived.
Unconfirmed reports this
week indicated that Miss
Clemons, a former WinstonSalem
State University student,
may be paralyzed.
Sources in the Winston-Salem
Police Department indicated
that Miss Clemons may be
able to tell the police more
about the incident at a later
date.
At the time of the shooting
Miss Clemons described the
gunman as a black male
about 35 years old, five
feet-five inches tall, 150
pounds with a mustache and
wearing a brown and yellow
flowered shirt and brown
pants.

organization was first formed
in June of this year to promote
unity among minorities at
Forsyth Teclf. The organization
presently has a membership
of about 30 students.
Miss Shows said that the
organization is now in the
process of trying to obtain a
charter. 11 We turned a copy ol
our constitution over to the
Student Government Association
President (Dave May) but
it was neither accepted or
rejected/' she said.
Some of the BSU members
feel that there is an attempt to
stop the BSU from being
chartered. One member charged
that May did not even
read the BSU's constitution.
John Hayes another BSU
member said the BSU was
being overlooked because the

finance is the major problem
of the BSU at this time. She
stated that a letter was sent to
Harley Affeldt, the school's
President, requesting funds
for the BSU, and Affeldt's
reply stated that there were
funds only for the S.G.A.
Miss Shows said that the

t The BSU also lashed out at
the schools SGA charging fhat
the vice-president and secretary
are holding office
illegally. John Hayes stated
that the schools constitution
stipulates that candidates for
1 office must be full-time
students carrying 12 or more
f? hours during the quarter.
Hayes contends that neither
the SGA vice-president or
secretary were full-time students
when elected. He added
that this fact was pointed out
1 to both Charlie King, Director
of Students and President
Affeldt but nothing was done.

But BSU further charged
that there are no lines of
communication between black
students and-ihe SGA. None
of the school*s SGA officers
are black even though
enrollment of blacks at the
school is more than 20%.
BSU representatives say
they will continue efforts to
get their organization chartered.
Miss Shows said the BSU
wants to perform the functions
that the SGA should perfrm
but have failed to do so.
