Is It Time To Undertake A New Course Of Action? Is student activism really an invaluable asset to those that use it? Maybe it’s time the administration of the University of North Carolina, and even the students themselves found out. Intelligent, “civilized” deliberation has done nothing to bring about the solutions to aBlack Cultural Center, the North/South Residential Cycle, the Gantt poster incident, the ‘T^o Nigger Queen” incident, the tfniversity PoUce/Keith Edwards situ ation, the “banning” of black Greeks from Great HaU, and of course, the statues representative of the student body here at UNC. Had Intelligent, “uncivilized” deliberation been used instead of tiie actual course that was taken, what might have been the outcomes? It seems, especially in the case of the Black ^tural Center, that the administration can simply “wait out” any controver sial or confronting situation that might arise in the undergradu ate ranks during any given academic year (this is a great strategy in that all of the students that were the leaders or activists for certain issues usually graduate in no more than four years after an incident). Any and all issues, not of Importance to the powers that be here at UNC, have cooled off as undergraduate classes have matriculated and graduated. And, true to form, the statues seem to have bef^allen that same fate. What is the next step to be taken in solving all of the problems that ail African-Americans on campus? Is it time for students to become a bitmore insistent, a bit more disobedient? Maybe. Maybe not.—ErikaF.

Carmichael rapidly moved to center stage of a raging conux)versy that severed friendships, split civil rights organizations and pushed black and white Americans to a new stage in their age old confrontation. —On Stokley Carmichael Pages 6-7 Current Events— Photojoumalist Roy Lewis' photo essay, "River Road," recendy on display in the Stu dent Union as a part of Human Rights Week 1990, showcased only a meager portion of his overall talent. This week, B lac kink showcases a few more of the many great moments captured by Roy Lewis. "Don't Mess With Me," and "MLK, Jesse Jackson And Their Legions Marching On Chicago" capture great moments indeed. - —Photo Essay: Roy Lewis Page 3 Reflections SNCC is often overlooked in history because it was not as established as the four other civil rights organizations. Most people remember the other four because they were led by famous black people who aroused tremendous public support. All of these organiza tions had chapters across the counuy and developed their own tactic for social change. The other four organizadons, like SNCC, were insuiimental in helping to lead the suuggle for black equality. —The Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee Pages 4-5 People, Arts and Entertainment -Grooves— The Monthly Look At Albums -Point After Touchdown -Album Review: Guy— The Future Pages 8-9 Endsights I knew 1 would be in a vast minority, a white among thousands of African-Americans. Regardless of what Farrakhan said, 1 anticipated an approving audience that would applaud him with tremendous enthusiasm. -A Farrakhan Lesson: The "Ever-Evolving Student" -Energy Wasted On Statues Page 11 About the Cover Stokley Carmichael learned much from his early and very eventful involvement in the civil rights movement. He quickly moved to the forefront as a black power activist No other man, with the possible exception of Martin Luther King, Jr. rose so quickly so fast No other man sparked such a great tide, simultaneously, of hope, fear, anger and public concern.
