Activities! Host And Hostess! BSU C BSU Stresses Race Equality To give the black student the knowl- edge that he had the ability to deal with any problem that he might face was the chief objective of the Black Student Union. The club also stressed equality among races. lf a Black cut a White, a White cut a Mexican, and a Mexican cut a lapa- nese, they would all bleed the same, so I feel that color is only skin deep, said Carl Smith, '81, president. Carl said that in order for the school to be strong as a unit, it is necessary for all races, all athletes, all students, and all teachers to support each other. The local club joined the Topeka High Black Student Union to perform a talent show and sponsored a student exchange with Highland Park High School in lanuary.
