Franklin s< By KELLEY MCDONALD Staff writer Student Government President James Franklin met with leaders of various minority groups Thursday to establish a Students Minority Leadership Council. Franklin began by introducing the purpose and goals of the committee. "This is a prospectus for the future, something we can work with as minority leaders," Franklin said. "We have wonderful ideas to bring together the minority community." Issues facing the committee include Desegrega tion Commemoration, Greek relations and recruitment of black students and minority professors to USC, Franklin said. "We want to see more minority professors and students. We need something that is positive in making this a diverse culture," he said. "There needs to be a collective effort to represent the whole population." According to the proposal, the members of the council will include present minority group leaders, the student body president, and the student government director of student affairs. A chairman will be selected by the student leaders, who will each have one vote on all issues. There will be meetings once a week until the council gets started, Franklin said, then monthly or as much as possible. "There is currently a Minority Presidents Panel," Franklin said, "but how many of you will be frank about problems with the President and many of the faculty there? It's a different kind of atmosphere."

James Franklin S.G. president Franklin said, however, that the council is not meant to take the place of the Minority Presidents Panel. "It is designed for minority student leaders to work together in addressing minority student concerns. These issues can be brought to the Minority Presidents Panel as topics for discussion," he said. June Godshalk from the Office of Admissions also discussed the problem of low minority student enrollment. "No black students applied to the South Carolina Honors College last year," Godshalk said. "I think they are intimidated by a lack of role models." USC doesn't have a problem attracting black students, but there's a lot of competition from outside the state, "and we want them to stay in South Carolina," she said. Godshalk also discussed the Carolina Tipoff, a program to be presented on Jan. 21. It will feature a panel of black students and their families, who will talk about their personal experiences at USC.

Another problem Franklin discussed was student apathy. "I'm a little disgusted that we have not come together as of yet," he said. "We have wonderful things being done, but we don't have students participating." Franklin also said he was disappointed in the low turnout for the meeting. "This shouldn't be. When we work together as a people, we have so much to gain. Separated, we have so much to lose." Stephen Benjamin, president of NAACP, attributed the low attendance to the letters Franklin sent to the minority leaders. "I was told that only about one-third of the people invited to attend showed up," Benjamin said. "The letter sent out wasn't too descriptive on the purpose of the council. Maybe one-half of the people didn't know what it was." Benjamin said that lack of unity, not apathy, was the biggest problem of the minority community. "The black students are closely-knit on the personal level, but on the social level we don't bind together as vehemently as we need to," he said. Despite the low turnout for the meeting, Benjamin feels the council may still work. "The first try isn't always the last try," he said. "The committee serves a good purpose.

"For the people that car only see him on television, it's hare to get the force of those times." Addressing students directly, Berrj said harrassment in predominant^ white institutions was a problem ol race, not economics. She said, "I saw a black business man, whose name I won't tell you, sitting on TV one night, saying 'There's no longer a race problem in America anymore ? long as you got the green power. You can go anywhere, do anything.' "And I knew that at the moment he was talking, his daughter, who he paid some fancy tuition to send to a predominantly white institution of higher education ?

She also commented on the r number of black students attending ' college by saying, "What is impor' tant is that we remember the students who aren't here." i When asked what she would tell the world about African-Americans, she replied, "The important thing is that we have survived incredible odds, made incredible progress and i that we still have enormous challenges to face."
