GHANA TO BE SITE FOR STUDIES
-Malcolm X Day-
(Continued from Page 1)
thing about this day is that it
took place.”
In answer to several questions
and statements concerning the
day’s events, Fuller said, “We
marched downtown because we
felt it was time black people
asserted themselves concerning
their own heroes. It has been
said that those of us who worked
on this effort are attempting to
tear down all of the institutions
and that we are all Communists.
It is really pathetic when black
nsen must begin to use white
people’s arguments in their ef
forts to discredit their own peo
ple.”
In closing, Fuller stated that
black power and the black
school are inseparably involved
in the liberation of our people
and the message must become
clear to you. Let us make one
last statement—many black stu
dents are becoming more and
more concerned about being
black and gaining power and
liberation in this society one
way or another. Some of y’all
better decide where you stand—
either you are black or you are
white—neutrality for blacks is
a non-reality.”

Big Sister; I’ll help you with
your arithmetic. Now, if I had
10 oranges and gave you 2,
how many would I have left?
Bobby: I don’t know. In my
class we do arithmetic with ap
ples.

First Day
A very small boy arrived
home dejected from his first
day at school.
“I’m not going tomorrow,” he
announced.
“And why not?” challenged
his mother.
“Well”, he replied, “I can’t
read and can’t write, and they
won’t let me talk—^so what’s the
use?”

BSU TO SERVE
NCG STUDENTS
The Baptist Student Union is
here to serve the student body
of North Carolina College and
the black community. The B. S.
U. has pledged itself to the
cause of the black people. Even
the B. S. U., with its religious
and moderate origins, sees a
need for black unity, black
brotherhood, black perspective,
and black "self-determination.
The B. S. U. has had a number of
important discussions, as “Mal
colm X, and the Role of the
Black Women in the Revolu
tion.”
Coming topics are “The Revo
lution,” “The Third World,”
“Black Jesus,” and “The Role of
the Black Church.”
We invite all Brothers and
Sisters to join the B. S. U. in
the struggle for survival and
liberation.
The following is a prayer
offered by B.S.U. president,
Lacy Joyner: “Oh Lord, I pray
that my brothers and sisters
here at N.C.C. will work hard
to promote black self-determini-
nation. Give us strength to save*
America from its due fate. God
bless the people!”

Creative Writing
Course Offered
This semester the English De
partment is offering a new
course in creative writing. Mrs.
Beverly Penny, English I»-
structor, originated the idea.
Students tak ng the course
receive two credit hours
although English majors can
not contribute the hours to
their major. The course is of
fered to sophomores, juniors and
seniors only.
Mrs. Penny feels that the
course creates much more in
terest than the regular Einglish
courses because students are
learning the rules of writing
and are writing on the subjects
that interest them most. Each
student must write at least 8
poems during the semester and
one or two short stories. Through
study and writing the students
of the course are “to leam from
experience the role of revision in
creative writing.”
It is not certain that the
course will become a permanent
one in the English Department,
but if enough student interest
is shown, a permanent creative
writing course may result.

essence of black beauty. The
black beauties sponsored by the
Tau Phi Tau Fraternity in the
“Miss Durham” pageant are as
follows: Miss Elvoyd Carson,
Miss Jocelyn Cordice, and Miss
Margo King.
On March 8, 1969 the broth
ers of Tau Phi Tau attended a
workshop at Shaw University to
prepare for their present pro
ject — voter registration. The
brothers heard a speech by
Floyd McKissick after which
they assembled for various
workshops dealing with some of
the phases of voter registration.
After the first workshops, the
brothers listened to the Honor
able Julian Bond of the Georgia
General Assembly sf>eak on the
present plight of the black
American in politics and govern
ment. Bond said that it was now
time for blacks to get out and
render their help to the needy
and unfortunate blacks, thus
focusing their attention moreso
on the policies that they are
governed by. After Bond’s
speech, the brothers returned to
the various activities on voter
registration.
