Crystal Simenton Banner Managing Editor John Singleton has done it again and this time he has done it so well that a simple Oscar nomi nation will not do him justice. His new film is by far an academy award winner. “Higher Learning” made its debut on the big screen Jan.ll and the film could not have attracted a larger or a more versatile audi ence. That was understandable considering the socially diverse issues the film entailed. In this two-hour masterpiece Singleton managed to touch almost every social issue that affects college students today. From racism to homosexu ality to date rape, there were few issues that were not discussed or subconsciously tapped on. All stu dents that observe this film can identify with at least one, if not more of the issues presented. “Higher Learning” is based on several characters, black and white, that have entered a presti gious white university as fresh men. The characters are socially, racially, and morally different, so conflict is a major part of this campus and there are several Qassifieds WANTED Individuals and Student Organizations to Promote SPRING BREAK '95.
