Black College Day ' 80 . . . Students from black colleges across the nation gathered in Washington, D.C. on Sept. 29 to voice support for their schools. Black College Day called atten- tion to the needs of institutions which have provided black leader- ship for hundreds of years. While we weren ' t sure how we would make the pilgrimage, the SGA made arrangements for a bus load to support the Day. But then there was the problem of deciding who should go. Well — the decision was finally announced to the despair of some. Thanks to contributions from the community and backing from the college administrators, we joined thousands who gathered for speeches, competition of college queens, and wholesome fellowship. Tony Brown was cer- tainly the highlight of the day and caused us to think more carefully about this experience we often take for granted. It was a challenge.

Women ' s colleges, opened in these same decades, further attest to the importance of separate female institutions during this period of transition . . . from the personal sphere to a public sphere. Originally conceived as training grounds of piety, purity and domesticity, these colleges laid the groundwork for the new collegiate institutions of the postwar era . . . Power is the source of change to- day . . . Women need power to ad- vance their own development, but they do not need the power to limit the development of others. To move out of the position where they have been dominated, women need a power base from which to make even the first step ... to resist attempts to control and limit them. Women of the churches, black women with for- mal training and any likeminded group need new understanding of moving the organizational bases we have to identify changes needed and concentrated on power to effect them . . .
