QQ ADtl'1Ol1y C. Alfl9l'O Jgoanne ,Nl Alfonge RlCHARD J. WARD, Dean College of Business and lndustry Students at SIVIU have the unique opportunity to become catalysts and innovative leaders in the surround- ing community. With a college degree, each person has developed a broadened capacity to think wisely, to seek wider horizons, to educate others into productive courses of action and beneficial change. You take with you the ability to perceive, to choose among complex alternatives and to decide to act in an intelligent and ordered manner. Above all-and this distinguishes you from the less fortunate who have been unable to add to their edtcational experience-you should have developed an insatiable curiosity about the world around you, about your fellow man, and about the particular envir- onments, both social and on the job, in which you will live and function. You are among the less than 50'XvOf young people your age in the United States with a college degree. Moreover, you are among the less than 102, of young people your age in the world who have a college degree. Your degree, therefore, carries with it not only the honors and the broader capacity to produce constructive change and to enjoy life in its many remificationsg it also has created, I believe, a serious obligation for you to use your broader capacity and ability to organize and formulate problems and means to solve them. Finally, though you may think this an exaggeration, your education brings with it a duty to educate others with whom you come in contact who have not had the benefits of this experience, and the ability to demon- strate both sounder judgement and moral courage to lead others into more rational as well as productive pursuits.

TYIDD ANTHONY lVlAYe.President elect of the Black student union l The Black Student Union I feel has made marked strides in the goals that they have tried to achieve. They did this without great support of the majority of people which was one reason why there was a lot of apathy and so-called not caring of what the BSU dldg X because it didn't involve the majority of people. Upon running for elected office, I went out with the idea in mind and the goals to help everyone strive for academic motivation, social awareness, and cultural awareness. With these goals in mind, we feel that they can be attained because everyone is aware of them and they can add something of significance. l as President plan to implement and sponsor a number of activities which will not deal just with black students on campus. We feel that it is something that we must do to help educate the white students on campus who have been brainwashed for such a long time by the history books and are not aware of the culture of Black people. There are a lot of myths that are being perpertrated throughout this University about Black people, and what we are all about. We have made efforts to dispel these myths. We feel now that we have a lot to offer this University culturally and that it is the educational process that everyone will benefit from. I plan to make sure that we attain our goal of academic excellence, social awareness, and cultural awareness within our selves and to extend what we have to offer to the rest of the SMU Community and the surrounding community. in ua., r, 55 BILL BYLAND My feet are sore.
