Backfire
A Lewis and Clark Black Students
Union has formed and become known
on campus In conjunction with the
Black Power oriented Reading Week,
Their first campus-wide declaration
of existence came during one of the
Reading Week panel discussions, dur
ing 'which they presented a list of
four grievances and demanded that
a committee be formed to hear their
complaints and open the way for them
to become a decision-making body. Concerning the lack of conslllta
tion concerning the Reading Week
presentation, we must agree that
someone missed the boat. The black
students of LC should certainly have
been an integral part of the program
since its beginning.
After talking to as many members
of the BSU as possible, we support
them in their request for a grievance
committee, perhaps not Just for them
but for everybody. The 13SU could
help the entire campus by pushing for
a greater enrollment of minority stu
dents. Our research into admissions
and financial aids policy (see article,
page 2) indicates that qualified black
students wollld have little trouble in
obtaining scholarship grants. Prob
ably the members of the BSU have
the best possible contacts with po
tential students. Unfortunately, the list was pre
sented in such a way that the hoped
for response backfired. Instead of
enlisting a great number of suppor
ters for their cause, they found that
the grievances -presented were ac
cepted as somewhat trite and not
largely discriminatory.
Most of the campus does not believe
that the May Fete theme was pur
posefully discriminatory. The BSU
is certainly not the only campus or
ganization that is not given much in
formation about college expenditures.
1n fact, if they were given the infor
mation, they would certainly be unique.
For our part, we agreed to run the
Malcolm X page with no more edit
ing than any other copy we received,
and the remark about offending people
(not specifically the campus) referred
not to the content of the page, but
rather to their general methods of
action. We hope and sincerely be
lieve this was no more than a mis
llnderstanding. Another legitimate function would
b~ the hiring of a Negro professor
wlio is an expert on ethnic problems, \ Negro culture and background, etc.
If the BSU attempts to organize stu
dents behind these constructive
moves, we feel that they wollld have
wide campus support, certainly ours.
These are the goals of the BSU,
and it is unfortunate that their first
statement was written and accepted
as It was. We cannot doubt their
sincerity toward these more mean
ingful causes and offer any support
we can.

I) Mr. Jones has no more Log

2) To finance the Log eotlrely
by advertising Is Impossible. One

n-ed to print one page of news.
Is this what you want? 3) U you
are concerned about fostering
"meaningful discussion and de

U you think the Log Is blase,
why not take. somt action rathel'

Financial difficulties for black
srudents are often rnuch greater

plained lhat .. it takes more. then

assistance from the college to
support students who, ln their
high school years, had no, been
reaching for a private college

According to her. r.he aid pack
age for • hlgh.-need srudent at
LC usually totals about $2300,
Even If the grant portion of tM
package cove rs rhe ruitlon costs,
the needy student musr often
borrow addJtional money or work
part-rime, or bOth.
For many prospective black
students, the flnanclal aid ex
pendlrure must be higher than
that of tbe white student. as
many arc in the high-need cate
gory. In such cases, lhe college's
aid must support the student for
four years. Mrs. Hunt pointed
out that the sum which jVould
be necessary to aid 25 high-need
srudents for four years each
would be enormous.

New England, communJty would no longer be

Martin Lutlter King was a nice
man who tried, but wa.s not a
member or the Black tide. He
preached of love a»d brotherhood
while his people were being mur
dered and spst upon. The whlte
community looked to him e.s the
true spokesman or his people.
They were satisfied to think of
the Blacks as suffering. singing
marryrs. Brown asked who could
belJeve a man who was kicked
and cut, then said 'I lave you'
IO his enemy.
Malcom X, on the other hand,
told his enemy of his hate, In
words o.nd 1nl action. For 350
years Negroes had no cohesive
sense o"f peo.pJehood. Treated,
first as chattel, then as seeond
class citizens,, at best, Negrees
assumed the whlte attlmde. They
Jived a double Identity; a Black
body with a w'hlte Imposed sense
of shame. Malcom refused to live
the life of his parents. Standing
proud, a Blade. man 1n Whlte
America, he :preached manhood,
pnde, beauty. Although he
frightened and antagonlt.ed Whites
Malcom's gift was essential, The
young generation, wearing a
noruraJ and walking tall, are the
result of Malcom X.

Backfire
A Lewis and Clark Black Students
Union has formed and become known
on campus In conjunction with the
Black Power oriented Reading Week,
Their first campus-wide declaration
of existence came during one of the
Reading Week panel discussions, dur
ing 'which they presented a list of
four grievances and demanded that
a committee be formed to hear their
complaints and open the way for them
to become a decision-making body. Concerning the lack of conslllta
tion concerning the Reading Week
presentation, we must agree that
someone missed the boat. The black
students of LC should certainly have
been an integral part of the program
since its beginning.
After talking to as many members
of the BSU as possible, we support
them in their request for a grievance
committee, perhaps not Just for them
but for everybody. The 13SU could
help the entire campus by pushing for
a greater enrollment of minority stu
dents. Our research into admissions
and financial aids policy (see article,
page 2) indicates that qualified black
students wollld have little trouble in
obtaining scholarship grants. Prob
ably the members of the BSU have
the best possible contacts with po
tential students. Unfortunately, the list was pre
sented in such a way that the hoped
for response backfired. Instead of
enlisting a great number of suppor
ters for their cause, they found that
the grievances -presented were ac
cepted as somewhat trite and not
largely discriminatory.
Most of the campus does not believe
that the May Fete theme was pur
posefully discriminatory. The BSU
is certainly not the only campus or
ganization that is not given much in
formation about college expenditures.
1n fact, if they were given the infor
mation, they would certainly be unique.
For our part, we agreed to run the
Malcolm X page with no more edit
ing than any other copy we received,
and the remark about offending people
(not specifically the campus) referred
not to the content of the page, but
rather to their general methods of
action. We hope and sincerely be
lieve this was no more than a mis
llnderstanding. Another legitimate function would
b~ the hiring of a Negro professor
wlio is an expert on ethnic problems, \ Negro culture and background, etc.
If the BSU attempts to organize stu
dents behind these constructive
moves, we feel that they wollld have
wide campus support, certainly ours.
These are the goals of the BSU,
and it is unfortunate that their first
statement was written and accepted
as It was. We cannot doubt their
sincerity toward these more mean
ingful causes and offer any support
we can.

ommended to the Admissions and
Scholastic Standing Committee
that the admissions staff define
as a defin1te target the recruit

resulted In a later policy state

which called for the recruitment
or 50 minority-group students.
Only about six American black
stUdents am,nded LC In Decem

need for students or widely vary

•the dl.flicultles faced by black
students In seelclng higher edu,

Financial difficulties for black
srudents are often rnuch greater
than for others. Mrs. Hunt ex
plained lhat .. it takes more. then
the average· amount o( financil.l
assistance from the college to
support students who, ln their
high school years, had no, been
reaching for a private college
education.••
According to her. r.he aid pack
age for • hlgh.-need srudent at
LC usually totals about $2300,
Even If the grant portion of tM
package cove rs rhe ruitlon costs,
the needy student musr often
borrow addJtional money or work
part-rime, or bOth.
For many prospective black
students, the flnanclal aid ex
pendlrure must be higher than
that of tbe white student. as
many arc in the high-need cate
gory. In such cases, lhe college's
aid must support the student for
four years. Mrs. Hunt pointed
out that the sum which jVould
be necessary to aid 25 high-need
srudents for four years each
would be enormous.

Twelve percent favored the starus

Soludons tO the urban crisis
which carried the most appea.l

but from there up, llnle d!!fer

On Jssues, the campus was
above both national and regional

Other colleges ln the Northwest
(O~on, IVasbington, Idaho. and
Alaska) gave a 62% vote for some
kind of reduction In the war and
S8% for a bombing reduction, as
compared to 89% and 84% on this
campus. The nadonal llgures
were 62\g and S7%, being lower
In the South and much higher In
New England, communJty would no longer be
contented with empty, eloquent
rhetoric.
Martin Lutlter King was a nice
man who tried, but wa.s not a
member or the Black tide. He
preached of love a»d brotherhood
while his people were being mur
dered and spst upon. The whlte
community looked to him e.s the
true spokesman or his people.
They were satisfied to think of
the Blacks as suffering. singing
marryrs. Brown asked who could
belJeve a man who was kicked
and cut, then said 'I lave you'
IO his enemy.
Malcom X, on the other hand,
told his enemy of his hate, In
words o.nd 1nl action. For 350
years Negroes had no cohesive
sense o"f peo.pJehood. Treated,
first as chattel, then as seeond
class citizens,, at best, Negrees
assumed the whlte attlmde. They
Jived a double Identity; a Black
body with a w'hlte Imposed sense
of shame. Malcom refused to live
the life of his parents. Standing
proud, a Blade. man 1n Whlte
America, he :preached manhood,
pnde, beauty. Although he
frightened and antagonlt.ed Whites
Malcom's gift was essential, The
young generation, wearing a
noruraJ and walking tall, are the
result of Malcom X.
In "ManchJJd" Brown wrote
of these P"Ople and their older
brothers and :sisters. CUrrendy
he ls wlit!Dg III biography ol Mal

Speaking as himself, Claude
Brown's message Is more cllffi
cult: "Here I am, Ooo"t be in.
tlmldated, but don't Ignore me,"
At ease with hlmsalf and bis audL-
