THE NEWS ARGUS PAGE TWO Editorial Are Students Rights Violated? We the Editorial Staff of the News Argus want to know more about student rights. We feel that maybe some of our rights are being enfringed upon and wish to know our rights and exercise them so this possible enfringement may desist immediately. We understand fully that many of the laws and policies of this University are unwritten, but we would like to know why because we, the students, don’t find out about these policies until we violate them. Please inform us, we need to know the rules to function properly in your structure. We feel it is a violation of our rights to tell us our money has to be kept because a loan wasn’t received yet. If you have a receipt showing your bill was paid out, then you should receive your check. If you had a refund coming from a loan, it could be held for the same reason and if not this one because they haven’t gotten around to it yet. It is a violation of a student’s right when he can’t print what he wants to in his newspaper, to get the message across to his fellow comrades in the struggle of supposedly higher education. Why do we have to manipulate our words to get important issues across? And yet, we do understand the 1st Amendment of the Constitution in its Freedoms. The final question is about our con fidential records: Are they really that confidential or are they only confidential to the students? Why can we go over in the middle of second semester wanting to see a check sheet with completed course^ and grades, and we can’t get them, but instances have occurred where other people have seen students confi dential records and even have copies. We are conscious, energetic, young black adults, who are capable of think ing and think that our rights are being violated. Please don’t play on our in telligence. BOOK SYSTEM (Continued from Page Six) mistake a book is brought into the de tection zone in a package, briefcase, under clothing, or handbag a muted buzzer sounds behind the charging desk and the turnstile momentarily locks. The checkpoint system will be a great asset to us. This way if we need a book then we won’t have to worry about not knowing where to find it, or will we? —Mary Hargraves Nursing Students Voice Opinions Student-opinion Bus transportation should be free and should be covered in your tuition. Tuition should cover all nursing facilities. There is a different fee according to your classification, because of the different mile limit that you must travel. Since we the Nursing Students are dedicating our service to Mankind I feel the busing transportation should be free. Overall opinion — The student feels the busing fare is unfair — being an out-of-state student the fee is exceedingly high. Another Student The busing fare in Winston-Salem should be free, but anything out of the city should cost according to mileage. There is a certain fee each semester. The bus is not always on time to carry the students. Mrs. Isom, Head of the Dept, of Nurs ing was not available when I went to ask her opinion of the busing situation for the Nursing Students. I then talked with Mrs. Reid, her Secretary, who asked me to come back later because Mrs. Isom was in a meet ing, but she would tell her about the question that I had asked concerning the busing situation. When I returned Mrs. Reid told me that Mrs. Isom said she could not give her opinion without the consent of the administration. I felt very let down because I was not even admitted to talk with Mrs. Isom in person, although I did go at a very inconvenient time. We students need to be heard. The students should be listened to first. We are the foundation of this university. —Shirlene King SU Graduates Compete For Title This year there are three contestants running for “Miss Alumni” for 1973-74.

Good Luck, from the entire News Argus Staff, Larry Little Speaks On Black Leadership Larry Little, coordinator of the Winston- Salem Branch of the Black Panther Party, community organizer and leader spoke to almost fifty students of WSSU, in the student union ballroom. He has been working with the Party since 1969, soon after its organization in the city. Little spent quite a lot of time on the leadership of the black community and how there really isn’t any. He spoke on the 4 black Aldermen in the city. Little says that there are no blacks and 8 whites, who’s only concern is with pleasing whites.” Little spoke further on one Alderman: Chairman of the Board of Trustees of this university, Mr. C. C. Ross in saying “Ross a supposedly black leader voted against automatic heating in all of Winston-Salem when blacks are mostly affected by cold winters with no heating or wood heating.” Larry went further into the black community by talking of the Black Church. He explained that the Black Church spearheaded the revolutionary movement through such people as Nat Turner, Sister Sojouner Truth, Martin L. King and Malcolm X. He explained that it is still necessary and a vital part of the movement and it can still help. Little urged all students to declare residence and vote in the next election and take our black leaders directly from the black community. He also asked students to stop dreaming that gradua tion from this institution will end your days of poverty because it won’t, not in this capitalist society, you probably won’t find a good job. Mr. Little also encouraged students to participate in the programs sponsored by the Black Panther Party. Such programs as: 1. People’s Free Breakfast Program 2. People’s Free Education Program 3. People’s Free Clothing Program and especially the People’s Free Ambu lance Program and how they are funded by the people to serve the needs of the people. Larry urged all students of this university to give a little of their time to one of these programs. In closing Larry asked that everyone support the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity in the Talent Program to raise funds for the Free Ambulance Program, scheduled for Nov. 1, 1973.
