When I initially took office as chairman of
the Black Student Movement, 1 was hoping
that I would be able to gear my energies
toward academic and other service-oriented
programs. Considering the events of the past
few days, it is evident that we, as an
organization, cannot function only in the
capacity of serving the students, but must set .
as a top priority the combating of the blatant
racism that exists on this campus.
This is a factor known to be prevalent in
this microcosm of society. People's minds
are still limited and the facade of liberalism
serves only to hide true racist sentiments.
These sentiments surface whenever black
people make an effort to improve their
plight, be it in the form of physical
harassment, as evidenced by recent and past
encounters with campus police, or verbal
harassment, as indicated by some members
of CGC.
It is disgusting to see that a segment of this
campus is still immersed in the pathology of
racism. This naive, racist attitude is
exemplified by the fact that, although all
BSM programs are open to everyone and are
for the benefit of all, very few, if any, whites
attend. Yet, when it comes time for monetary
appropriations, the cry is, "Why give funds
to.an organization which comprises only five
per cent of the student population?"

It is in total ignorance that such
statements are made and it is in total
ignorance that speakers of such words will
live until they decide to transform their
mentality and realize that BSM programs
are designed to enhance one's knowledge of
black culture and to enlighten one as to what
black people are basically about.
Yes, the CGC meeting of April 23 was a
most vivid point in case. Ignorance was
evident as shown by the nature of most
questions. Ignorance was not the most
rampant force, though; forces of racism were
alive and well. There were those who. favored
further cuts in the budget allegedly for the
sake of cutting, but any fool would realize
that to be only a verbal coverup of the racist
spirit behind that absurd proposal.
The BSM budget was, without question,
the most carefully scrutinized item on the
agenda, indicating that the slightest thing
that could be found would be vigorously
questioned in an effort to "nail us to the
cross!" .
One of the most shocking things to occur
during the meeting was the appearance of a
campus policeman. Someone had informed
him that the BSM had "taken over" the
meeting. ?
Whoever called the policeman apparently
believed that we are innately a violent people

violence. Or, maybe he was an "enlightened"
individual knowing that some people on
CGC are not receptive to rational reason but
only listen when violence is involved.
But halt!! The campus police and the
masses of the uninformed are not the only
people afflicted with the disease of racism.
There are those sophisticated racists who are
also on the rampage. There are those who
work at a snail's pace in regard to
Affirmative Action, and those profs who get
their jollies by screwing black students to the
wall. They are much more difficult to deal
with, for they are subtle in their
methodology and have had years of practice
to perfect their systematic discrimination.
Luckily, we are humanitarian enough to
extend a helping hand to the sickly.
In any event, the Hitlertarians have not
ceased to exist and are moving right along
with what they consider to be the business of
mankind. Unfortunately, only a few people
are open-minded enough to be enlightened
and join the ranks of those in good health.
However, the others are those who present
the struggle, and we must struggle against
them.
As the immortal Frederick Douglass so
beautifully states,. "The struggle may be a
moral one or a physical one, or both a moral
and physical one, but there MUST be a

But there is a way to make it somewhat easier.
Our way. The Armed Forces Health Professions
Scholarship Program. It won't soften the demands
of your professors, or those you make upoa yourself
but it may free you from those financial problems
which, understandably, can put a crimpMn your
concentration. ci
If you qualify, our scholarship program will cover
the costs of your medical education. More, you'll
receive a good monthly allowance all through your
schooling.
But what happens after you graduate?
Then, as a health care officer in the military
branch of your choice you enter a professional
environment that is challenging, stimulating and
satisfying.
An environment which keeps you in contact with
practically all medical specialties. Which gives you
the time to observe and learn before you decide on
your specialty. Which may present the opportunity
to train in that specialty. And to practice it.
You may also find some of the most advanced
medical achievements happening right where you
work. Like at the Brooke Army Medical Center in
San Antonio, Texas, long noted for its Burn Treat
ment Center. Or the home of Flight Medicine, the
famed Aerospace Medical Division, also in San

The important thing about this year's U.S.
Senate election is not whether North
Carolinians choose a liberal or conservative,
or even a Republican or a Democrat, but
whether they can find in the four major
candidates a man to replace Sen. Sam J.'
Ervin Jr.
For this year, the entire country will be
watching our state to see whom we choose to
replace their latest American hero. Sen. Sam
has become so prominent and popular that
on election eve, the commentators will refer
to the winner as Sam Ervin's successor
before they say anything else.
That's a mighty heavy responsibility for us
to carry. And it's one we must not take
lightly when we enter the voting booth.
Will he be a man who will fight for civil
liberties? Will he be able to maintain his own
personal integrity with all the temptations in
Washington? Will he guard our freedoms
with the same zealousness with which they've
been guarded over the past 20 years?
In short, can he fill the shoes of the man
from Morganton?
Well, what might the man from
Morganton say about the four men who are

But it's the promise that really counts: Joe Monroe
will continue to be as responsive to the people
after the election as he is right now.
If the people running for public office were as
responsive to the voters after the election as they
are during the election, there'd probably be a lot
less promises made.
Joe Monroe Democrat for the N. C. State Senate

jill Sam s
trying to take his seat in the Senate?
He'd probably start off by eliminating
Republican Bill Stevens. Stevens is the
governor's choice to run simply because
"Vinegar Ben" Mizell didn't want to run and
because state Sen. Ham Horton wanted to
but couldn't get the governor's support. So '
in the year of Watergate and those infamous
presidential income taxes, Stevens is a goner.
Or, as Sam himself might say in his best
Biblical tones, a sacrificial lamb.
As for Henry Hall Wilson Henry Hall
Who? Wilson has been out of the state for a
decade and even though he maintains he's
kept up with North Carolina, it's just too
hard to believe.
A state can change so much in a decade
not just its political views or its physical
appearance, but its very nature. Add that to
the fact that he went to the Chicago Board of
Trade. Chicago! Why, that practically
makes him a Yankee! Wilson evidently
wants the seat pretty badly, because he's
spent more than $300,000 so far. But Sam
would tell him he's wasting his money. In this
case, the prodigal son cannot return.

attorney general. He's been active in
consumer affairs and a dedicated public
servant. But there are simply too many
skeletons in his closet. Twice he supported a
man for governor who wanted the state to
return to the days of reconstruction, who
advocated segregation at a time when the
state was trying to pull itself from prejudice.
He was one of the main advocates of the
Speaker Ban Law which later became an
example of silly and backward politics to the
whole nation. And though he backed the
UNC Board of Governors as a concept
because he thought it would take the politics
out of education, he urged the legislature to
usurp the board's authority and give East
Carolina a medical school, even though
experts, most of whom were picked by ECU.
said it was a foolish idea.
Yet now Morgan tries to make himself all
things to all people, saying that the
campaigns, the speaker ban and ECU are all
in the past, like suddenly some great light has
dawned. Sorry, but that light through
yonder window just couldn't break all of a
sudden. Those skeletons must really set
Sam's eyebrows to dancing.
So that leaves us with Nick Galifianakis.
Galifianakis hasn't spoken out much on the
issues, but that is mainly due to the fact that
he's run a people's campaign. He has
traveled throughout North Carolina, asking
the people what they think and what they
want. Nick backed civil rights legislation
long before any other North Carolina
lawmaker, he supported antiwar
amendments and in general has been ahead
of his time compared to other politicians in
this state.
Now Sam's chin might quiver a bit at the
mention of some of Nick's liberal views, but
he'd sympathize with the Durham attorney
because he did have the guts to run against
Jesse Helms in the year of Nixon's mandate.
Nick doesn't have the money his opponents
have, having spent only one-fifth of the
amounts Morgan and Wilson have shelled
out! '.,
So Nick is an underdog, but the kind of
underdog who can win. Sam Ervin might
like that, and he might even say, "Pick Nick."
