I “So we as black students, as black people, will re-define and re-evaluate the things which affect our destinies ’ Active For Social Good The Union has also shown a new aware¬ ness of the need to help the less fortunate Negro, to work extensively in poverty neighborhoods such as Oak Park. There is great involvement by the Negro stu¬ dents in these neighborhoods, and their eventual hope is to assist and help to educate the Negro in these areas. Young Leader Explains The first president of the BSU is Bill Mitchell, an articulate young crusader. According to Mitchell, The BSU was de¬ signed to help the Negro and not to be venge¬ ful. We must open the doors and then encour¬ age our race to use them. “The BSU of City College does not sanc¬ tion violence,” said Mitchell. There is no reason for violent rebellion here. We ve asked to be included in all phases of campus life and have been not only accepted, but aided in our pursuits.” It is obvious that the black student has more opportunities this year than ever before at City College, stated Mitchell “and that’s because we’re working for them. Black City is a campus newspaper published by and for black students on the City Col¬ lege campus. Although the club must officially be open to all students, in accordance with the SA constitution, there are, at present, only Negro members. The club members have expressed a wish to sponsor a convocation speaker, and have already been active in holding rallies, debates, and in originating a petition to place a Negro history course in the College curriculum. The hope is generally to involve the Negro students in all aspects of campus life. ★ THE SEGREGATION of students at tables in the cafeteria —racially and socially— presents a social problem and poses a question of the cause and effect relationship of student segre¬ gation. Is the segregation self-imposed or socially forced? To date, student government has not discussed the “problem.” Hits Campus i the Cafeteria — r of Choice?

( As Term Begins Brightens Quad The Scourge THE LAST DAYS of summer came and it was once again the time of year for that dreaded ritual which is i the scourge of all studentkind — Registration! “This year,” everyone said, “will be different. We have a ferocious new weapon with which to fight against the perils of Registration, a weapon which will rid us of the long lines and terrible panic and confusion among the student ranks: the Com¬ puter.” This joyous news was met with cheers and sighs of relief, for this year a record number of students was ex¬ pected to descend eagerly on the fair campus, and without the Computer, everyone shuddered to think of the disaster which might occur, hours in line under a broiling sun, con¬ fusion and frustration once inside the cafeteria. But Registration arrived and sadly, all their careful plans were dashed. Little had the administration sus¬ pected that 400 more students than anticipated would join the forces. Disaster came. The hours passed on and the lines stretched longer and longer as the open class lists became shorter and shorter. Finally the ordeal was over and after a few days every¬ one was once again hopeful. “Next year,” they said, “will be different.” ... WALK! DON ' T RUN! Scorching heat and long lines charac¬ terize hectic days of registration. As students gird themselves for another registration late this month, they have secret hopes that the computer won ' t spit out their data. FRUSTRATION-“If this is the way it ' s got to be, it ' s got to be.” SPACE AVAILABLE-“I wonder what they are giving away at that table.” 5
