Washingto minority p "I feel that no community is any stronger than the strength of its parts," Oliver Washington Jr., Student Government Secretary for Minority Affairs, said. Washington said the purpose of his office is "to enhance the opportunities and aspirations of minority students on campus. There are many students that have expressed a desire to work with us in some area. I am now soliciting your help in implementing some of our projects,'" he said. Outlining several projects, Washington requested that all interested persons, members or non-members of a minority, come to a 5:30 p.m. meeting in Room 306 of the Russell House, Oct. 21, or send a represen tative to seek solutions to problems minorities en counter. Washington said the former "School Desegregation Project is taking on a new dimension thIs year and .is working in cooperation with the Southern Regional Council in Atlanta." This project aims to (1) utilize the existing or potential peer group relationship be tween college and high school students, (2) establish a wedge of neutrality among and bet ween black and white youths, (3) lay the foundations for inter-racial projects, con "Dianne W n seeking rojects aid ferences, etc. and (4) establish lines of communication bet ween black and white youths. Washington said this year's ''new perspective" deals with (1) problems of minorities in application and admission to Carolina and (2) seeks high school students' attitudes with regards to Carolina and works with the Speakers' Bureau to make recruiting minorities productive." A Minority Involvement Committee has been formed to discover (1) what areas of student life lack involvement of minorities, (2) what problems keep minorities from being active and (3) do minority groups feel them selves a vital part of the Carolina Community? Washington said his office plans to establish several committees to handle other areas of minority affairs pertaining to the Carolina Community. These proposed committees include a Minority Council to organize minorities and focus on their common problems, a "Minority Day," to which high school minority students will be invited in an effort to attract more minorities to the University and a Minority Retreat which will be a weekend rap session for all minority students.
