C ) v E3 v E3 Hb. E! v E3 «9i IL FBSC Accomplishes Primary Goals The goal of the Black Student Coalition during the 1985-86 school year was to promote unity among the black students on campus. The BSC began the year with a shrimp dinner for its members and faculty advisors. With a nearly 100° o turnout for the dinner, the Coalition was off to a great start and on its way to accomplishing its primary goal. Black Student Weekend and the RACE party held at the BSC house gave the Coalition a chance to share them- selves with the campus and with pro- spective students. During her recent visit to Davidson, Thelma Adair ad- dressed the Coalition and gave many words of wisdom and encouragement. The BSC also hosted Paula Giddings, author of When and Where 1 Enter, as the Martin Luther King Lecture Series guest speaker. Immediately following spring break, BSC members were led by Brenda Tapia and Gary Mason in a seven-day celebration of Nguzo Saba, an Afro-American valu e system. The celebration helped to further promote solidarity and self-awareness among the Coalition members. Spring term proved to be an active period for the BSC as its members participated in fund-raisers and co- sponsored the first annual Faculty Staff Follies. The year has been one of much internal growth and strengthening for the Coalition. By renewing its commit- ment to itself and the college communi- ty, the BSC has shown that it is well on its way to becoming an active voice on Patterson Court. KARIN DOUGLAS
