Conceptional Revolution
Like the deltas of mountain rapids,
Old revolutions have seen days
When their ways
Were raging, rapid currents;
A roaring discourse
Which displayed their force
As a stem and earnest deterent.
But rivers inherently erode their ferocity
Into a calm and stagnant docility.
And so it is with old leaders —
Those once mighty bloods
Whose demanding and fearful pleas
Are now but ripples in emmence seas.
Conception is our guarantee of
revolution.
Again, it’s called Black Gold.

Most of the Black students here don’t
even Know David Belton or Mary Rudd
but that goes without saying what they
are on the campus of the university of
North CaroUna. David and Mary are the
only Black cheerleaders on the U.N.C.
cheering squads.
David and Mary are both freshnrjen
who are now representatives of the Black
student body of U.N.C., whether you
know it or not. They fried-out for the
positions and made them, even though
David confesses that it wasn’t his
intentions when he accompanied some
friends along to the practices.
When asked why they went out, Mary
replied, “because I like to cheer;” but
David had a little more to say. He said
that he couldn’t relate to the white
cheers, and that by being on the squad
and by teaching the white cheerleaders
some black cheers and by incorporating
these cheers, he might be able to get more
black participation in cheering at the
upcoming games. David urges more Black
participation in cheering at the upcoming
games. David urges more Black
participation in try-outs because if
making either squad you go from school
to school showing that U.N.C. must be a
pretty good school and that by being seen
on the squads you are indirectly
recruiting more students.
Some say David and Mary are just
“tokens,” but they both feel that they
are just as qualified as any other
cheerleader on the squad. When asked if
they were going out for the varsity squad
next year, both replied “yes,” if their
grades are good because cheerleading

takes a lot of time and could interfere
with studying.
When asked what their parents
thought of their newly acquired
positions, both said their parents
approved of it as long as it didn’t
interfere with their studying.
At the close of the interview, David
said, “There are Black athletes to cheer
for, thus, we should relate to them.”
Black Sounds
Presents Black
Life at UNC
by Burnes Ray
The Black Sounds radio program is a
cultural program geared to all black
students on the campus. It consists not
only of music, but of many things such as
poetry by the Brother Rap, interviews
with Miss BSM, and other things that the
black population on campus is interested
in.
There is a news service by which any
black organization or any black person
can give notice of information which may
be helpful and interesting to other black
students on the campus. The show is
staffed by four disc jockeys - Earnest
Addams, Blaine Mack, Willie Mebane, and
Columbus Motley. There are two news
announcer, Deryl Davis and Robert
Willis. Cleophus Crowder assists in
producing and Burnes Ray co-ordinates
the whole production. The show is one of
those things that everyone is invited to
participate in. The programs are on twice
a week, Tuesdays and Fridays from seven
p.m. to nine p.m.
Coming up for Black Sounds Radio are
interviews with the black athletes
concerning their feeUngs on black
turn-outs at games and their opinions as
to how they as athletes fit in as blacks on
campus and the effect that they have.
Answers to Crossword
And at night the fight goes on . . .
As boss brothers and sisters
Get down in bed
With no ideas in their heads
That they are creating the leaders ot
tomorrow —
“Dashiki wearing rip-offs”
Possessing the vigor and means
To disrupt this racist land at its seams.
Rocking on -emote porches
As we trip off Geritol,
We view what grew
From our reproductive dew
And concede
“Frightening crop this year”
As we smile.
