"If left alone, they (South ^ Africans) may be able to sort out problems. It may be slower, but they will eventually solve the problem on their own," said Robert Slimp, who recently returned from South Africa. He said the conflict is a crisis of confidence. He thinks white people are intimidated by the violence of the blacks. Revision of siowlv with a By STEPHEN C.

SG official approves integration of greeks By LYNN CUSICK Staff writer After more than a dccade. the greeks' governing system at USC will be racially integrated oncc again. The merger of the black and white councils will be completed by fall 1986, according to Student Government President Kelvin Stroble. The separaton between blacks and whites came more than 10 years ago, Stroble said. Originally, the councils were mixed, but black greeks didn't feel their needs were being met, so they branched off into a separate body. Black greeks are afraid of losing their national affiliation through a merger, according to r\mr* vuhitn nmnV c cn \t they fear the change will result in a loss of individuality, but Stroble dismisses these fears as "emotional reactions." "People always fear what they don't understand," he said. Stroble, also a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, supports the merger and feels all conflicts will be counterbalanced by positive results. ' You have everything in the world to gain and nothing to lose," he said. Stroble feels the merger will get rid r?f manv micrnnrcnlinnc holH by both groups. "My hope is that whites will join in black greek activities and blacks will join in white greek activities." Stroble believes the present system involves more than just separate governing councils for all greeks. Stroble hopes this merger will lead to the integration of fraternities and sororities in general. "It's a step in the right direction. It will set an example at the top for the rest of the system," he said. "How can we support Africa against apartheid when we have our own housecleaning to do?" he said. B
