been a white institution. This it
has had in common with
virtually all institutions of
higher learning in the United
States. Its members have also
had in common with the white
community in America, in
greater or lesser degree, the
racist attitudes that have
prevailed in this society and
which continue to constitute
the most important social
problem of our times. This

FEW SUCH statements have
been wrung from colleges and
universities, but the
institutions have moved with
surprising speed surprising
even to the student
activists to accomodate
themselves to some of the
demands. Here is a small
sampling of recent responses:
At Brooklyn College, the
faculty has approved a course
in Afro -American
history. . . ,and courses on
Negro writing in America and
on African history are also
planned.
Ohio State University has
broad spectrum of what the
students call "institutional
racism." And while their
requests have encompassed
such specifics as increased
black enrollments, hiring of
black faculty, and instituting
of "black studies" curricula,
their most insistent
request and the one that has
most infuriated administra
torsis for official
acknowlegement that schools
have, indeed, been practising
racism. . . .
At Northwestern University
in Evanston, 111., conferences
between black students'
organizations and a committee
representing the administration
produced a draft policy
statement that began:
4 N O R T H W EST
ERN University recognizes that
throughout its history it has
been a university of the white
establishment. This is not to
gainsay that many student
body have engaged themselves
in activities directed to the
righting of racial wrongs. It is
also true that for many years a
few blacks have been members
of its administration, faculty,
and student body. But the fact
remains that the university in
its overwhelming character has

Dobbins said the inclusion
of whites in the organization is
welcomed only when the
whites are "sincerely interested
in what we're trying to do. We
welcome the interested whites
to help in any way they can."
However, he scored those
merely willing to talk, not act.
He credited "a lot of white
liberal groups" with this
willingness.

their campuses and establishing
Experimental Colleges.
It also sponsors charter
flights to Europe, provides a
International Student I.D. Card
for discounts abroad, and an
insurance plan for students,
among other things.
In addition to the president,
there is an Educational Affairs
Vice President and a
International Affairs Vice
President. Last year's
Educational Affairs Vice
President was Teddy O'Toole,
formerly NSA coordinator at
UNC.
This year's NSA coordinator
on campus is Virginia Carson.
I n addition to the
Orangeburg demonstrations,
white students took part in the
tutorial program.
A similar tutorial program
was sponsored last year by
UNC fraternities, but Dobbins
termed it "insincere."
The BSM leader, in
reference to the overall
ideology of his group, said he is
"not at all concerned with
having the University and
white community comprehend
or even go along with our
goals.
"This is completely a Black
thing," he said.
Dobbins urged that change
by effected by any means
necessary. "I'm not a believer
in non-violence," he
concluded.

workers here and in West Los
Angeles already have begun
packing 2,400 Christmas gift
bags for servicemen and wo
men overseas.
Bags for the men include
writing material, razors, blades,
combs, towelettes, playing

and candy. The bags for serv
icewomen include hand and

announced plans to hire a
Negro assistant dean to deal
with the interests of minority
students. A course in American
Negro history will be offered
next fall.
At the University of
Maryland, new courses related
to the interests of black
students are planned by the
tlepartments of history,
sociology, English, and
anthropology.
At San Jose State College
in California, the nation's first
ombudsman has been hired to
look into campus racial
problems and a broad "black
curriculum" is in preparation.
A significant number of
institutions have taken steps
this summer to step up their
recruitment of Negro
students often under auspices
of black students' groups and
many plan to offer substantial
increased financial aid. Some
are beginning to contemplate
drastic revisions in admissions
standards that have operated to
exclude most graduates of,
ghetto schools. Negro faculty
members are in great
demand. . .

Despite the discomfort of
many whites and some
Negroes, the Black
Consciousness movement and
the trend toward separatism
are likely to increase. This, at
least, seems to be the dominant
view among the new breed of
black students, who see
themselves bound in ever-closer
ties to the black community;
who look to careers as black
teachers, black lawyers, black
physicians, black social
workers. . .
"I think," says Dr. Charles
V. Hamilton, (co-author with
Stokely Carmichael of Black
Power: The Politics of
Liberation in America) "we're
turning out a cadre of people
who can't be the same who
are going to effect a new way
of thinking in the black
community. I just can't see all
these thousands of kids coming
out as Little Black Sambos.
Which might mean and I
don't want to say this too
loudly that we are laying the
foundations for a different
kind of rapprochement
between black and white later
on.
