" Elimination of skits will begin Sept. 29. Craig said all organizational leaders had been sent a letter describing the ac tivities, but added that he would distribute further information to them from his temporary office in the Russell House. Proceeds from the Cockfest will be put in a contingency fund for the first year, according to Craig. "After that, the money will be given to a campus organization to use for a worthy project" he ex plained. "We're not interested in getting rich," Craig said. "We just want some exposure. We need a chance to prove that fraternities still have a place on campus." ENTERPRI1 PRESENTS OF SOUTH 4 FALL CONC IA EL P.M. 3ff ice 'macy 1. 10 McMillo black ac RY FRANK WELL Staff Writer "There is a basic need that black students be accepted as individuals, as human beings." said Charles McMillan. coor dinator for minority student af fairs. J n campus there is toleration, but we need understanding. Often. a black person who is accepted on campus is coldly received once he leaves the University community. 'ihe great need, then, is for in dividual recognition in and out of classrooms. 'This year. there are ap proximately five hundred black students at Carolina." McMillan added. -I would like to see more black professors on the faculty to assist these students. Ideally. these members would be situated in every department. but there is an immediate need for black English instructors." Harry Walker. student body president. expressed a similar opinion. "It is ridiculous and shameful that a student can spend four years at this University and never run across a black instructor. -This has a psychological effect. It gives the impression that there are none qualified. This is par ticularly absurd. Black professors BEsM AROLINA'I ET I GUES MANI Ln urges eeptance must be there to assist the student with problems encountered, as well as to teach him," Walker said.. "Most of the difficulties met by students this coming year will be handled as they arise," McMillan said. To handle such problems, Walker has appointed Oliver Washington. secretary of minority affairs. " He will research problems encountered on campus and develop programs for the needs of minority students. *"Carolina is competing with black schools. There is a need for all schools to get together on problems that concern the black community. Perhaps an exchange of courses or professors could be arranged." Walker stated. Walker said many of the-signs of open hostility have disappeared but t he cold feelings and stares are itill here. McMillan said black students are denied participation in student attairs because 'many black students are not even aware of the formation of organizations until after they are formed. *The grapevine exists only among the white students, and it is therefore difficult for blacks to penetrate new areas. But I plan to make this community aware of the Negro as a human being." SPECIAL T STAR )RILL
