RIGHT ON The past year was a time of expansion for the Black Studies Center. The term began with the christening of a second temporary facility. The staff has been increased by the addition of Miss Lillie Williams as administrative assistant and Mr. John Burts as Director of the center; two new secretaries have also been added to the staff. During the year the center ran a weekly film series for elementary school children in the Englewood Community. The center currently offers a minor program, and a major in black studies will be forthcoming. CSC is also the midwest headquarters for black studies direc- tors. The January 7 edition of Jet magazine contained a feature story on the Black Studies Center. Guest speakers were also on the agenda. Charles Evers, the first black mayor of a bi-racial city in Mississippi, spoke to the students in January, and later in the year the Black Studies Center sponsored a Student Forum which featured Eva Jefferson, the dynamic student government leader from Northwestern, and also a group of students from Jackson State University.
