fun with il."
Whereas in past years,
Homecoming has been perceived
as a "Greek event," this year
Tubbs said the whole college is
getting involved. "It's not all
Greek anymore...we have a lot of
diversity now; we've encouraged
an all-campus participation and we
got that this year."
Along with the Greek
organizations, others involved this
year are Bacchus, East and North
areas, the Black Cultural Society,
Alpha Kappa Psi (business
fraternity), and S.U.B.
The Homecoming Parade
down Haggard Avenue starts at
11:45 a.m. Saturday. The public
is welcome to come see the
display of floats sponsored by all
of the college organizations. The
annual Homecoming football
game kicks off at 2 p.m. (pregame
begins at 1:30) when the Fightin'
Christians play the Bulldogs of
Gardner-Webb.
Special guests for this
weekend are the reunion classes of
1941 and 1966, along with other
alumni, students and friends of the
college. Spccial activities will be
held for the reunion classes
throughout the weekend.
This weekend also marks the
opening of Fiddler on the Roof
Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and
Gunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are
available at the Fine Arts box
office from 12:30-5 p.m.,
Monday-Friday.

made slavery possible, that has
kept apartheid alive in South
Africa, and tliat delivered Jews into
the Holocaust. I, for one, would
rather the average American did
not believe that all blacks act a
particular way because they are
black!
Similarly, I would rather not
toss aside many of the great works
of science, philosophy, and
literature just because their authors
were white. Black collegians can
understand and appreciate James
Madison, John Milton, and
Charles Darwin - just to mention
a few examples - as well as any
white student. To suggest
otherwise is racism in its pristine
form. ^

Tallahassee, he was pan of a
successful effort to establish a
stale program of compensation for
victims of crime. Most states
now have such programs, but
some of them are poorly funded.
Compensation for medical
expenses and lost wages is fine,
but Smith believed much more
should be provided. Slowly the
idea developed. In 1982
Jacksonville's City Council
commissioned a study of a victim
services center. The commission
gave the plan a green light.
Over the past four years,
bending to court pressure,
Jacksonville has built $100
million worth of new prisons.
Last year the City Council voted
to commit $250,000 to the
Victim Services Center. The
University Medical Center gave a
Jacksonville Economic
Development Corporation hitched
up. By early December the center
will open.
When I visited the building a
few days ago, carpenters were
getting down to the final trim.
Director Jerry L. Flakus was out
of town, but Smith and
coordinator Pat Alexander took me
around. To describe it as a
"building" leaves a wrong
impression, for the center will be
housed in what appears to be a
house. Located in the city's
historic Springfield neighborhood,
it is painted a kind of putty color.
By the time it is landscaped the
house will look as if it grew there.
Ms. Alexander, a sociology
graduate who has worked with
Travelers Aid, has been working
in the city's existing victims
program for the past five years.
The goal is to have someone on
counseling duty around the clock.
About 600 to 800 cases a month
are anticipated at the outset.
Through a Victim Assistance
Services Trust Fund (VAST), the
center expects to do many little
things that mean a lot. In recent
months VAST has provided new
locks for a poor woman whose
house was broken into. In another
instance, a victim of auto theft
was unable to pay storage charges
on here car after police found it.
VAST paid the bill.
A third of the center's cases
will involve sexual assault;
probably 12 percent will involve
wife-beating and other domestic
violence. The center will work
