Planned by the BSM Cultural Committee, Black History Week will consist of discussions on Black related topics as well as performances by on-campus groups. This year's observance will not feature a national personality such as Bobby Seale who appeared last year. Instead the program for Black History Week will primarily involve the talents and intellect of the local University community. This change in program, according to Cultural Committee Chairperson Cookie Bell, is an "attempt to utilize talents on campus instead of going out into the community to find potential." However one national figure will be present to head a session on "Politics and Power." Banbose Shango, a member of Stokely Carmichael's "All African People Revolutionary Party," will speak on February 9th at 8;00 p.m. in Upendo. Also appearing during the week will be the BSM Drama Group and the Ebony Readers. Bell explained that she is very pleased with this year's proposed program. Black History Week will be of interest and benefit to students, faculty and administration, as well os the local community.

Is there a need for such a group? Block Ink interviewed block leaders of these organizations at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, the University of North Carolina, and North Carolina State. The consensus was that administrators ore not responsive enough to the needs of blacks. John Moore, assistant coordinator for the Neo-Black Society (NBS) at UNC-G, said the Black populace is active in affairs and a fairly effective organization. Moore explained that they still entertain opposition from the white sector. "When we have problems with the Student Government, we go to people like Chancellor Ferguson or Dean of Student Affairs James Allen, but neittier are very responsive," he added. Moore outlined some of the problems they hove incurred recently on campus. The Neo-Black Society protested the school year book in which the society felt they were not represented. Moore said the group tried to solicit help from other groups who were seemingly not represented, either but they were apathetic to the cause of the Blacks. One problem the group now encounters is securing funds for the Black Arts Festival to be held Feb. 9- 16. Moore said the event is a major function of the organization and that every Black will fight until funds are available. "It is only in time of crisis that students come together; other than that, students have to be pushed to participate," said Don Bell, President of the Society tor Afro-American (SAC) Culture at North Carolina State University. i
