Text Any textual data included in the document Eve of Black History Week marred by racial incidents By ART WILKINSON A West Chester State College freshman is in satisfactory condition at Chester County Hospital after being stabbed in the abdomen shortly before 12:30 Sunday morning.Heidi Hackman was knifed following a melee in Lawrence Center, where a dance was being held after the WestChester-Cheyney basketball game. Michael Farguson from Cheyney and Lawrence Roberts of Villanova were also injured in the fight, both suffering lacerations of the face. Miss Hackman and her date were leaving the dance when they were assaulted by "an unknown group of blacks," according to Pennsylvania State Police at Exton. Police are looking for a girl believed to have attacked Miss Hackman. Inaction According to numerous witnesses, the security police on hand at the dance made no attempt to end the melee; the chair throwing ended by itself as quickly as it began. Eyewitnesses Neil Nameroffand Bob Clossen both W.C.S.C. students, watched a group of between ten to fifteen black males throw chairs at nearby white students and security police. At one point, they report that a black male leaped off a table onto a white student who was lying on the floor, apparently landing on the victim's head. The black then leaped to another table and is quoted as having said, "I am black. I am proud of my blackness - and I showed it." At this time, another black male grabbed him and told him to get off the table. The victim, bleeding profusely from the head was put on a table, and was later removed for medical aid Outside Lawrence Another report tells of further action outside Lawrence Center. Gordin Zibelman, a sophomore transfer from Community College of Philadelphia who has been at West Chester for only two weeks, was walking a girl back to Old Main. He stated that he was near Hollinger Field House and that a group of about twenty blacks were following him, cursing and throwing bottles at him. He was about to take the girl's hand and make a dash for safety when he was jumped from behind. He was then forced to the ground and was kicked for several minutes. Then he heard a voice telling him to get up. He looked up and a black male told him to get up and that he wouldn't hurt him. The unknown student apparently forced the group to leave Zibelman alone. The girl with Zibelman reported that she was not harmed by the group, but that there was another couple walking near them at the time of the attack and that the girl in that couple was attacked.

Correct Racial Injustice With a black minority at West Chester and the problem of course integration, Doudy said he chose to come to West Chester because he can do more here to correct racial injustice. "I see it as a challenge," Doudy said. Flamer said he came here because West Chester was the ultimate of the state colleges and at the time he didn't know the ratio of blacks to whites here. When questioned about a break between the college community and the town of West Chester, Doudy replied, "I see a barrier between the black community of the town and college because there never were any good relations. No one wants to look over the fence," he added. Flamer feels that communication has broken down between the city and the college because there are no social programs shared by the college and the town. "I think we definitely have to knock down the suspicion that they (townspeople) don't belong at the college. We have to open up the college ... We can't turn our faces away." Tutorial Programs In order to try to better community relations, Doudy said that the black community on campus is working on setting lip tutorial programs in the town and the gospel choir will be performing in West Chester on three occasions.Chas. A. Melton, director of the Community Center, 501 E. Miner St., says that the black people in the community of West Chester don't feel kindly toward the college because for one reason the black community feels that the administration is apprehensive about hiring black faculty. "I don't believe in percentages but it should be a more equitable spread. There are only about five on the college faculty now ... but I'm saying that it's still just tokenism. He added that the hiring of blacks is usually done just to comply with state and local laws as well as to satisfy the black community. Reflection of Attitude Melton said that he feels the problem lies with the administration. "I think the faculty and staff more or less reflect the attitude of the administration. If the administration showed more concern, it would be reflected by the faculty and staff." In reference to his last verbal communication with the administration, Melton replied that he has not communicated with Dr. Rossey since last spring. He specifically went to Dr. Rossey \ with Dr. W.T.M. Johnson from Lincoln University, to express his ! views about the firing of Dr. Michael Kay, though at the time he had not yet met Kay. "I really feel that there is a great connection between the firing of Dr. Kay and the repression of blacks at West Chester," Melton commented.Asked why he has not made an effort to communicate with Dr. Rossey since last spring, Melton replied, "Perhaps it is my fault, but he is so bigoted in his stand against Kay that he wouldn't see the forest for the trees." Cannot Condone Violence When questioned about the violence at the Chambers Brothers concert last October 31, Melton ' said that he cannot condone the violence caused by a group of blacks from the West Chester community, but he can understand. . Even if the rule enforced at the time was a valid one, he said the blacks involved probably thought that it was a gimmick to keep them out. Melton said that the college can better community relations by cooperating with different agencies; for example, the Community Center, in a tutorial exchange program which would help blacks and whites to know and understand one another better.

Text Any textual data included in the document Plea for better race relations Editorial Two years ago, when the first so-called "racial incident" occurred here at West Chester State, two words raced down the halls of the dorms in a matter of minutes: "Get them." The reaction was a fearful, unthinking response to a situation which most people did not understand at that time. In the early hours of last Sunday morning, when news of a brawl and stabbing reached the dorms, those same two words were repeated: "Getthem." And this response was given with even greater fear and less thinking than was seen two years ago. This greater fear and misunderstanding was shown in the developments of last week: demands for greater security, a ban of all social events, and a sanction against the planners of the post-Cheyneygame dance. This newspaper did not exactly help the situation by printing a headline which unintentionally linked the beginning of Black History Week as a contributing factor to the violence. Any assumption that Black History Week and the incident at Lawrence Center were linked by a cause and effect relationship is absurd. Greater security on campus cannot be the answer to the problem facing us. The incident last Sunday morning, as well as past flareups at social events, was caused by outsiders. To efficiently protect against such infrequent problems, this campus would have to assume the stature of an armed camp, perhaps even limiting our own student's freedom of movement. To cancel all social events would be punishing all the students without cause; it could even lead to more problems, since the students would be forced to find other outlets after a week's work. And to sanction the planners of the event would be just as useless. If there had been no dance, the confrontation might have started at the basketball game itself, or even in the men's dorm, possibly with even greater violence. "Backlash" is the product of ignorance and offers no solution. In our present situation, it could cause much more harm than has already been done. Yet a certain group on this campus has once again promoted such a backlash, as they have done in the past with racial and non-racial developments. Physical reaction, therefore, must yield to good, sound resolution. We must resolve to help the community with its social problem, rather than separating ourselves from it. We must strive for better relations with other colleges as well, not ignore their problems. We must have greater understanding within our own academic community to eliminate the effects of racism from our students, faculty and administrators, white and black. Black History Week was an attempt to bring about this necessary understanding. What we need is 51 more weeks like it. M.M.C.

Text Any textual data included in the document Community leader, students comment on racial problems By NANCY J. HOLT Ed. Note: This is the first of two articles probing into the racial problems on the West Chester campus and how they relate to the community of West Chester and vice versa. Three members of the black college community and one member of the black community of the town of West Chester are in agreement that there is racial discrimination at the college and something has to be done about it. Larry Doudy, Chairman of Black History Week, and Huk Bethea, Chairman of Black Student Union, in a QUAD ANGLES interview, agreed that the problem is caused by the whites. "I think the problem lies within the white people," Doudy said, "and they are causing one (problem) to themselves because they cannot accept us as black students." Communication Bethea commented that the problem lies in communication between the blacks and whites. He said that this communication exists because "the white folks don't want to accept a person for what he really is." Bethea went on to say that there are two types of blacks: those who accept the white man as a person, and those who say if the white man treats him as a dog, he will do the same. When asked to which category he belonged, Bethea replied: "I can't really say. I was brought up in a black society. Everyone is prejudiced in one way or another. I'm prejudiced in oneway." Dave Flamer, President of Men's Resident Government, said, in another interview that discimination does exist on campus. "It's in their minds. It's, how do you say it, hereditary." He added: "When there's a minority of blacks and a majority of whites, you're going to have racial undertones." Doudy and Bethea agreed that black studies need to be integrated into the overall curricula, since they both feel that the problem between blacks and whites on this campus is coming to a head. "We are reaching a peak," Doudy said, "There are alot of little things black students have been working at for years. We want to see a definite positive sign this semester because it will reach a peak of tension and the cork will pop. He continued: "I am against gradual change because I have been promised gradual change and haven't gotten it. They (college community) move or be moved." When asked how he would move the college community, Doudy stated that he was not at liberty to say. Asked if he meant violence, Doudy said, "No comment. Whatever they force us to do," Asked if he considered himself a radical: "In my own right, I am a radical," Bethea replied, "I don't think of myself as a radical, but people do." Workable Solution Flamer feels the college communitycommunity shouldn't worry about the problem reaching a peak. "We shouldn't concern ourselves with what will happen." He said, "Why not get a workable solution before it happens." The three student leaders feel that course integration is an answer, but it is not the sole answer* Flamer states, "We have to deal with being human beings first." Bethea feels that a change of attitude not only on the part of the students but preferably with all whites involved is necessary. When asked about white students who might resent the integration of black studies in the curricula, Doudy answered, "If they resent integration, this is white backlash ... what if I don't accept a white course, I get penalized. I don't care what the white man does. If he doesn't like it, then let him jump on his band wagon and change it."Hecontinued: "The humanistic thing to do is to unweave the trend of racism. This (course integration) is not the main thing to resolve. We're not saying all black history. The problem here is that the change lies on the white man. He has to start looking at the black man as he truly is. ... I've been saying the same thing to Sykes and Rossey BflßMlMcAdoo Dave Flamer, President of Men's Resident Government . ."We can't turn our faces away." | I Bill McAdoo Larry Doudy. . . "In my own right I am a radical." Outsiders blamed in stabbing incident By TERRY COHEN As the investigation of the fight and stabbing following last Saturday night's dance continues, a more extensive and detailed description of the incident has unfolded. - "Chairs Flying. . ." Kenneth Burda, Director of the College Union, and Dean of Student Affairs Weislogel were present when the fight started. Burda said that he tried to break it up. "There were chairs flying around," he said, "and more people on the outskirts of the fight who looked like they might get involved." Burda went to get Dean Weislogel to help him disband the group. "We grabbed people," said Weislogel, (meaning Burda, a State policeman, and himself). Weislogel said that the fight appeared to start with two people, and then five people jumped on one of the original two. More people then joined in. "There were a lot of students trying to break the fight up," stated Burda. After the fight was broken up, the band was told to stop playing, and the security guards cleared the building.Security for the dance was provided by four guards from the Brandy wine Security Agency. Campus security made "periodic appearances" at the dance, according to Security Chief Sweeney.At last report, the State Police were convinced that "no college students, West Chester or Cheyney" were responsible for the stabbing incident which occured after the dance. "An Unusual Situation" Dean Weislogel said that he didn't think that those involved were West Chester students. "It was an unusual situation," said Burda. "There were an awful lot of people at that dance (who) didn't belong there." Weislogel said that the incident was "a very frightening thing," and that there was "anger and frustration exhibited by blacks as well as whites." He continued to say that he thought the problem was an "attitudinal problem," in that it will take a chance of attitudes to correct the situation. He felt that the basic problem was the "black-white issue," and that it will take responsible people of both groups to work with their respective groups to effect changes in attitude. Curtailment Unnecessary What bearing does this incident have on West Chester's campus? Burda doesn't "expect any trouble at future dances, if they use their heads." Dean Weislogel feels that it would be "unwise" to schedule social events following "possible volatile sporting events," but he asserts that we should "have to curtail social events." Administration sees university coming The chances of West Chester State attaining university status within the next five years are excellent, stated Dr. Albert E. Filano. The Dean of Faculty and Academic Affairs commented that the only requirement the college lacks, according to the application from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, is a doctoral program. Five Years Dr. Willard Trezise, Dean of Graduate Studies, predicted that it will take West Chester at least five years to attain university status, since it will take at least that long to establish a "quality doctoral program" in the arts and sciences. The Dean cites "quality" as being applied by the National Council of Graduate Schools. Dr. Trezise also said that he thinks the systems established for attaining university status is backwards. He would like the college to be granted university status before the establishment of a doctoral program. "I would hate to have a doctoral program just to become a university," he said. He also commented that not all of the universities in Pennsylvania have doctoral programs. He cited Susquehanna University as an example. Dr. Filano said that he doesn't think a doctoral program is necessary to attain university status. But Dr. Trezise would like to see the procedure for attaining university status reversed. He stated that at a past meeting of the Council of Graduate Deans, the deans petitioned the chairman of the state-wide board to apply for university status first and then allow schools to develop doctoral programs under a consultant from the commission of higher education. Complete Picture The application as it stands now is a broad one, commented Dr. Filano. It requests a complete picture of the institution "encompassing its breadth in terms of faculty, administration, students, and facilities." The Department of Education requests such specific information such as financial records for the past five years and financial projection for the next ten years. The Department also requests the same information in reference to student enrollment and the number of degrees awarded. Under the application heading of "Program", the institution must also submit information concerning the undergraduate curricula, graduate curricula, credit and grading system, length of academic year, and faculty. Each faculty member must also complete a resume sheet. Review Dr. Filano said that the application will be completed sometime this semester when it will be forwarded to the Department of Education. The Department then reviews the application and upon considering it complete, appoints a committee somewhat similar to the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools to visit the campus and make its recommendation to the state-wide board. When asked about the advantages of university status, Dr. Filano replied: "We hope university status will enable us to serve the youth of the commonwealth better through the monetary sense by additional programs and additional high quality professors and students. We have made tremendous strides in the past, and with the attainment of university status we will continue to expand our services."

(Photo by Marc McCarron) Gospel inspires by JESSICA SCARANGELLA Staff Reporter "Gospel is definitely on the move". With those words, Master of Ceremonies Louise Williams of WDAS radio opened Gospel Music Fest '80 last Wednesday evening in Philips Auditorium. As part of the celebration of Black History Week, Jazz Farm presented the Gospel Music Fest, which featured four very talented and diverse vocal groups: The West Chester State Gospel Choir, the Wilmington Gospel Now Choir, Dawkins New Sound, and the Hummingbirds. The West Chester State Gospel Choir kicked off the evening with a joyful rendition of "Sign Me Up For The Christian Jubilee". The 50-member choir, under the direction of Marie Mobley and Vaughn Pryor, alternated the uplifting music with spiritual messages from Rev. James Christmas. Songs like "Jesus Christ Is The Way," "Draw Now Close To Me" (a thoughtful gospel ballad featuring soloist Gail Jones) and funky, clipped version of "Amazing Grace" showed off the talent and sheer energy of this dedicated campus choir. Next was the Rev. Thomas Brown and the Gospel Now Choir, a touring ensemble of the Now Gospel Arts Coalition of Wilmington, Delaware. Their set, which was casual and rather slowly paced, reflected their urban gospel sound. Interspersed between such numbers as "I Cried and Cried Until I Found The Lord," "Tiny Crumbs of Happiness," and "Kumbaya," was the preaching and testimonies of various group members. In contrast to the quiet mood of the Gospel Now Choir, Dawkins New Sound burst forth on stage, clapping and dancing to "I Wanna Be Ready When Jesus Comes," "I Just Want to See His Face" and the call-andresponse a capella "I Feel Good". Dawkins, whose voice and mannerisms resemble those of Andre Crouch was simply mesmerizing. His vibrant conducting inspired some of the most exciting sounds of the evening. When James Davis of the Dixie Hummingbirds took the stage, he told the audience that "when you look at the Birds, you are looking at Black History". Davis founded the original sextet in 1928, and today it is considered the "worlds greatest Gospel group." In 1973 they received national recognition as the background vocalists for Paul Simon's "Love Me Like A Rock", and five years later received a Grammy Award for their own version of the song. Now a five member a capella group, backed only by guitar, their sound ranged from barber-shop orchestral harmonizing to shouting, clowning and dancing about the stage. TTie music of the Hummingbirds and the other gospel group evidenced their strong and vital faith. As WCSC Gospel Choir member Gloria Douglas described it, "Gospel music is the word of God being portrayed in song. The most important aspect of the music is our belief in Jesus Christ." The Gospel Now , (Photo by Michael J. Mahogey) Shannon lectures by KATHY STAUDENMEIER Correspondent Last Tuesday the Black Student Union (BSU) presented a lecture on career planning and job search techniques as part of the Black History Week series. The guest speaker was Robert Shannon, Director of Employment and Economic Development for the Urban League in Philadelphia. Unemployment is destined to become worse, according to Shannon. The Carter Administration is prepared to risk higher unemployment to lower inflation. The first to get laid off will be blacks and white women. Already Philadelphia has the tightest job market in the U.S. The official unemployment rate in Philadelphia stands at 18%. Shannon believes it is closer to 30%. The entire northeast corner of the U.S. is in a decline since it is geared mostly to manufacturing. The job market is becoming more technically oriented. Seventy percent of the jobs Urban League handles are technical. Openings in accounting, computer programming, and engineering overshadow the more traditional teaching, social work, and liberal arts fields. Shannon also offered advice for interviews. He stressed the need to "know your company", dress neatly, ("it's not Soul Train you're interviewing for"), look the interviewer in the eye, be punctual and relax.

Text Any textual data included in the document Black History Week Black History Week, 1980, opened last night with a coffeehouse featuring comedian Irwin C. Watson, ventriloquist Maurice Manden, poet Nate Gadson and the CCG band. The annual celebration of black culture and history is sponsored by the WCSC Black Student Union (BSU), aided by several campus groups including the Program Board, Jazz Farm, Ecumenical Campus Ministry, and the Philips Lecture Series. Stephen Kinsey, a spokesperson for the BSU, emphasized that Black History Week is planned as a "learning experience" not only for black students, but all other students as well, and for the community. "It's geared to anyone and everyone," he explained. Kinsey cited tonight's "Career Planning and Job Searching" program as the type of event which is of interest to all students. Robert Shannon, director of employment opportunities at the Urban League of Philadelphia, will be the guest speaker in Sykes, Rm. 243 at 7:30 p.m. Kinsey believes the cultural events planned for this week also offer a wide appeal. A Gospel Music Fest, presented by Jazz Farm, will be held tomorrow in Philips Memorial Auditorium at 8 p.m. The Dixie Hummingbirds, Dawkins New Sound, The WCSC Gospel Choir, and the Wilmington Gospel Now Group will perform. The Philips Lecture Series will present a oneman tribute entitled "Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Portrait," at 8 p.m. in New Main on Thursday. The Rev. Arthur Langford, Jr. portrays King in a film recreating the inspiration and leadership of the man referred to as "a twentieth-century Moses." Langford's performance was first seen in 1969 at the Ebenezer Baptist Church where King was once a pastor. King's momentous career is relived and some of his most eloquent, significant writings are featured. The week wraps up with the Senior Dinner on Sunday. Beverly Williams of TV's channel 3 news will be the guest speaker. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document Black women artists honored in exhibit Black History Month ends by ROSALYN JACKSON Correspondent The brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. sponsored an exhibit in honor of "Black Women In Light of Their Achievements." The exhibit honors Black History Month. Eight outstanding women from West Chester's campus were chosen. These women include: Barbara Black, Venezula R. Proctor, Ruby Johnson Jones, A. Jasmin Thigpen, Cynthia S. Nash, Beverly S. Renfrow, Lucille R. Morgan, and Theresa M. Dent. Black is an assistant professor and coordinating counselor at West Chester, also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. Proctor is a junior majoring in Criminal Justice who presently holds the position of Basilus (pres.) of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Theta lota Chapter. Jones was the first Black faculty member to join the staff at West Chester, in addition to being the co-sponsor of the Student Christian Association and a representative for the Human Relations Council. She did much to ease the racial tension that prevailed throughout the sixties. Thigpen, a junior majoring in Social Welfare, is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and has been active in the Black Student Union for two years. Nash is a senior majoring in Social Welfare and she holds the position of first Vice-President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Epsilon Psi Chapter. Renfrow, a sophomore majoring in Elementary Education, was a member of the Varsity Cheerleaders and also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Morgan is a junior majoring in Social Welfare. She holds the position of president of the NAACP and is also a member of the Black Writers Club. Dent is a senior majoring in Elementary Education. She holds the title of Homecoming Queen for the year 1978- 79, and is active in the Black Student Union as Treasurer. A statement from Black relating to the exhibit said: "My related concern toward Black women is a result of my experiences and those with whom I have had the privilege of sharing the assets as well as the liabilities. I have had the experience of dealing with those who are considered famous as well as those who go unnoticed."She continued, "So often we pay tribute to only the famous but it is those women who often go unnoticed that raise our children as a minority. To them I would like to pay tribute for often they are only known as mothers or as those ladies. Black women, or minority parents. If our minority society is to go forward, it seems as though respect, honor, and tribute should go toward the fruit of their laborers as they have contributed much more than fine gold to our minority society." The display honored such noted singers as Billie Holiday and Marian Anderson. It recognized Wilma Roudolf and Alice Coachman for their outstanding track and field abilities. It brought to light some political figures such as Ethel Allen, city councilwoman at large, and Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, California's first Black Congress woman, elected in 1972. Nikki Giovanni, a noted poet, Shirly Chisolm, Corretta King and many more were noted in the display. The exhibit remained in the library throughout February. The brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi put together a very interesting and inspiring exhibit, making a worthwhile contribution to Black History Month.

Text Any textual data included in the document Dear Editor: On the occasion of the national Black History Week, I wish to express certain thoughts to my fellow Black students. "I am because we are; we are because I am" is an African adage which illustrates the platonic and fraternalistic bond that I share with every Black student on this campus. What affects one of us, affects all of us. Therefore, the problems which some of us encounter, we all share. The problems are: 1. The feeling of polarization because of the small number of Blacks in a class. 2. The need for more Black faculty members as role models for Black students in attendance. 3. The insensitivity of some teachers or administrators to the needs of Black students. The ultimate goal is to earn a degree from this institution. However, confusion, despair and dis- may tend to deter one from this paramount priority. In the words of Martin Luther King, "You must early discover what you are made for, and you must work indefatigably to achieve excellence. . . . Set yourself earnestly to discover what you are made to do, and then give yourself passionately to the doing of it. This clear onward drive toward fulfillment is the length of a man's life." Therefore, carefully examine and utilize the above statement and remember: There was a Black student at West Chester Who had it hard for several semesters.He read Martin's advice And improved his life. For now he is an alumni of West Chester. Respectfully submitted, Wesley W.
