"When you honor one of us it ought to be one of us who has labored in the vineyard," he said. In reference to his plea for the university to stop interacting with groups that practice segregation, Patterson cited the House of Representatives' passage of Aritcle 10.4, which halted the practice. "If you can get the House to do something you ought to get anybody in the world to do it," he said. Patterson did not mention any specific groups that interact with USC and practice segregation.

In urging the caucus to work for these changes, Patterson said unity was the pathway to progress. "It's going to take all of us working together. You've got to unite with us down there in the House." He said he hasn't appreciated the attacks of some who have criticized him for serving on the board. "I have caught more hell for serving on the USC board of trustees than the law allows. It comes from us," he said. The current bill in the General Assembly that would direci the governor to appoint a board of trustees member on th< basis of race, creed and sex was also mentioned by Patterson He said debate about the bill has been "racist" in the Hous< and asked for the caucus' full support in the fight foi See "Patterson," page 2 |OMp|fr - ;' mVtK&f** Mm ijfl |F;" B HPliP Photo by Laura rerguson and professor of philosophy at the University of Califor I I -A XI rv I I .UilnnAnUu A>.vnnnn:..m inai speaxer ai me uaviu nume pnnubupuy bympuaium : an 18th century philosopher.
