Text Any textual data included in the document In the first edition of The Quad, on the front page, African-American History Month was referred to as being the month of January. Obviously, neither the writer nor the editor who edited the article knew what month African-AmericanAfrican-American History Month was. This is not the first time The Quad has made mistakes concerning African-American students. As an African-American student leader on this campus, I have a commitment and responsibility to speak out when such mistakes are made. The responsibility of speaking out when mistakes are made is one that all African-American students should share. If we don't stand up for ourselves, the non-black students on the campus certainly will not. And we should not expect them to, nor should we expect African-Americans in administrative, staff or faculty positions to fight our battle. It is our battle to win or lose, but our recent response to the ignorance perpetrated by our student newspaper has displayed a laissez-faire attitude—an attitude that will do nothing but foster more ignorance. The only method to ensure that such embarrassingly ignorant mistakes do not continue is for African-American students to get involved in the production of our student newspaper; thus, we would have an opportunity to catch such mistakes before they reach the printer.

Text Any textual data included in the document Two weeks ago I sent a poem to The Quad to be published in memory of Steven A. Tillman, a brother of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., who died of alcohol poisoning on April 17,1993, but the poem didn't appear in The Quad. Let it be known at Steven attended West Chester University from 1986 to 1990. In fact, he was a resident assistant at Sanderson in the fall of 1989 until the spring of 1990. Like many of us, Steven wanted to make a difference; he wanted to make the world a better place. But contrary to a lot of us, he didn't just sit on his Mβ hoping and waiting for amirack to happen. He reached out to people, especially to the young. He tried to ensure the survival of our young black people by educating Aem, and, most importantly, by showing them that some of us, although very few, really do care. Steven was a true leader. His leadership was motivated by deep caring rather than recognition. And I would really hate to see his hard work forgotten. I refuse to let history repeat itself by letting another one of our leaders go unnoticed. I wish that The Quad would dedicate more time to issues that concern the students and less time on trivial issues that no one even bothers to read.

Text Any textual data included in the document Benjamin Tucker Tanner, minister and journalist, has gone unrecognized far too long, said Dr. William Seraile last Tuesday in the Special Collections Room of the Francis Harvey Green Library. Seraile, part of the Visiting Minority Scholar Program, wrote "The Paradox of Race: Benjamin Tanner, Philadelphia Minister." "Tanner was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on December 25, 1860. His father died when Tanner was still young," he said, "and his mother, Isabella Tanner was described by him as 'unusually religious,' a 'born leader.'" Seraile said circumstances forced Tanner to leave home for employment as a barber in Chicago. "Tanner began a diary in January, 1851, with many entries about work in the barber shops, current political and economical events, issues that he would pursue in his writings as editor of the Christian Reconfer(lB6B-1884)andtheAA/.£.Church Review (1884-1888)," said Seraile. "Tanner's editorials called for self-reliance, thriftiness, political empowerment, women's rights, community buildings, mission work in the Caribbean and Africa," he said. In 1988, Tanner was elected bishop in the A.M.E. Church, a position he held until his retirement in 1908. Tanner served the church in Canada, Bermuda, New England, Tennessee, Florida, Colorado and the mid-Atlantic states. He also said, "His devotion to the theology was reflected by the numerous poems he wrote for The Christian Recorder and A.M.E. Church Review. "Tanner died in 1923 after committing 67 years to African Methodism as a pastor, author, editor and bishop," he said. "Tanner's published writings certainly place him among the leadership of the nineteenth century black American and his views on race matters have echoed long after his death," Seraile said in closing.

Text Any textual data included in the document Dear Editor: On the occasion of the national Black History Week, I wish to express certain thoughts to my fellow Black students. "I am because we are; we are because I am" is an African adage which illustrates the platonic and fraternalistic bond that I share with every Black student on this campus. What affects one of us, affects all of us. Therefore, the problems which some of us encounter, we all share. The problems are: 1. The feeling of polarization because of the small number of Blacks in a class. 2. The need for more Black faculty members as role models for Black students in attendance. 3. The insensitivity of some teachers or administrators to the needs of Black students. The ultimate goal is to earn a degree from this institution. However, confusion, despair and dis- may tend to deter one from this paramount priority. In the words of Martin Luther King, "You must early discover what you are made for, and you must work indefatigably to achieve excellence. . . . Set yourself earnestly to discover what you are made to do, and then give yourself passionately to the doing of it. This clear onward drive toward fulfillment is the length of a man's life." Therefore, carefully examine and utilize the above statement and remember: There was a Black student at West Chester Who had it hard for several semesters.He read Martin's advice And improved his life. For now he is an alumni of West Chester. Respectfully submitted, Wesley W.

Text Any textual data included in the document Black women artists honored in exhibit Black History Month ends by ROSALYN JACKSON Correspondent The brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. sponsored an exhibit in honor of "Black Women In Light of Their Achievements." The exhibit honors Black History Month. Eight outstanding women from West Chester's campus were chosen. These women include: Barbara Black, Venezula R. Proctor, Ruby Johnson Jones, A. Jasmin Thigpen, Cynthia S. Nash, Beverly S. Renfrow, Lucille R. Morgan, and Theresa M. Dent. Black is an assistant professor and coordinating counselor at West Chester, also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. Proctor is a junior majoring in Criminal Justice who presently holds the position of Basilus (pres.) of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Theta lota Chapter. Jones was the first Black faculty member to join the staff at West Chester, in addition to being the co-sponsor of the Student Christian Association and a representative for the Human Relations Council. She did much to ease the racial tension that prevailed throughout the sixties. Thigpen, a junior majoring in Social Welfare, is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and has been active in the Black Student Union for two years. Nash is a senior majoring in Social Welfare and she holds the position of first Vice-President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Epsilon Psi Chapter. Renfrow, a sophomore majoring in Elementary Education, was a member of the Varsity Cheerleaders and also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Morgan is a junior majoring in Social Welfare. She holds the position of president of the NAACP and is also a member of the Black Writers Club. Dent is a senior majoring in Elementary Education. She holds the title of Homecoming Queen for the year 1978- 79, and is active in the Black Student Union as Treasurer. A statement from Black relating to the exhibit said: "My related concern toward Black women is a result of my experiences and those with whom I have had the privilege of sharing the assets as well as the liabilities. I have had the experience of dealing with those who are considered famous as well as those who go unnoticed."She continued, "So often we pay tribute to only the famous but it is those women who often go unnoticed that raise our children as a minority. To them I would like to pay tribute for often they are only known as mothers or as those ladies. Black women, or minority parents. If our minority society is to go forward, it seems as though respect, honor, and tribute should go toward the fruit of their laborers as they have contributed much more than fine gold to our minority society." The display honored such noted singers as Billie Holiday and Marian Anderson. It recognized Wilma Roudolf and Alice Coachman for their outstanding track and field abilities. It brought to light some political figures such as Ethel Allen, city councilwoman at large, and Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, California's first Black Congress woman, elected in 1972. Nikki Giovanni, a noted poet, Shirly Chisolm, Corretta King and many more were noted in the display. The exhibit remained in the library throughout February. The brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi put together a very interesting and inspiring exhibit, making a worthwhile contribution to Black History Month.

Watson, ventriloquist Maurice Manden, poet Nate Gadson and the CCG band. The annual celebration of black culture and history is sponsored by the WCSC Black Student Union (BSU), aided by several campus groups including the Program Board, Jazz Farm, Ecumenical Campus Ministry, and the Philips Lecture Series. Stephen Kinsey, a spokesperson for the BSU, emphasized that Black History Week is planned as a "learning experience" not only for black students, but all other students as well, and for the community. "It's geared to anyone and everyone," he explained. Kinsey cited tonight's "Career Planning and Job Searching" program as the type of event which is of interest to all students. Robert Shannon, director of employment opportunities at the Urban League of Philadelphia, will be the guest speaker in Sykes, Rm. 243 at 7:30 p.m. Kinsey believes the cultural events planned for this week also offer a wide appeal. A Gospel Music Fest, presented by Jazz Farm, will be held tomorrow in Philips Memorial Auditorium at 8 p.m. The Dixie Hummingbirds, Dawkins New Sound, The WCSC Gospel Choir, and the Wilmington Gospel Now Group will perform. The Philips Lecture Series will present a oneman tribute entitled "Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Portrait," at 8 p.m. in New Main on Thursday. The Rev. Arthur Langford, Jr. portrays King in a film recreating the inspiration and leadership of the man referred to as "a twentieth-century Moses." Langford's performance was first seen in 1969 at the Ebenezer Baptist Church where King was once a pastor. King's momentous career is relived and some of his most eloquent, significant writings are featured. The week wraps up with the Senior Dinner on Sunday. Beverly Williams of TV's channel 3 news will be the guest speaker. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

(Photo by Marc McCarron) Gospel inspires by JESSICA SCARANGELLA Staff Reporter "Gospel is definitely on the move". With those words, Master of Ceremonies Louise Williams of WDAS radio opened Gospel Music Fest '80 last Wednesday evening in Philips Auditorium. As part of the celebration of Black History Week, Jazz Farm presented the Gospel Music Fest, which featured four very talented and diverse vocal groups: The West Chester State Gospel Choir, the Wilmington Gospel Now Choir, Dawkins New Sound, and the Hummingbirds. The West Chester State Gospel Choir kicked off the evening with a joyful rendition of "Sign Me Up For The Christian Jubilee". The 50-member choir, under the direction of Marie Mobley and Vaughn Pryor, alternated the uplifting music with spiritual messages from Rev. James Christmas. Songs like "Jesus Christ Is The Way," "Draw Now Close To Me" (a thoughtful gospel ballad featuring soloist Gail Jones) and funky, clipped version of "Amazing Grace" showed off the talent and sheer energy of this dedicated campus choir. Next was the Rev. Thomas Brown and the Gospel Now Choir, a touring ensemble of the Now Gospel Arts Coalition of Wilmington, Delaware. Their set, which was casual and rather slowly paced, reflected their urban gospel sound. Interspersed between such numbers as "I Cried and Cried Until I Found The Lord," "Tiny Crumbs of Happiness," and "Kumbaya," was the preaching and testimonies of various group members. In contrast to the quiet mood of the Gospel Now Choir, Dawkins New Sound burst forth on stage, clapping and dancing to "I Wanna Be Ready When Jesus Comes," "I Just Want to See His Face" and the call-andresponse a capella "I Feel Good". Dawkins, whose voice and mannerisms resemble those of Andre Crouch was simply mesmerizing. His vibrant conducting inspired some of the most exciting sounds of the evening. When James Davis of the Dixie Hummingbirds took the stage, he told the audience that "when you look at the Birds, you are looking at Black History". Davis founded the original sextet in 1928, and today it is considered the "worlds greatest Gospel group." In 1973 they received national recognition as the background vocalists for Paul Simon's "Love Me Like A Rock", and five years later received a Grammy Award for their own version of the song. Now a five member a capella group, backed only by guitar, their sound ranged from barber-shop orchestral harmonizing to shouting, clowning and dancing about the stage. TTie music of the Hummingbirds and the other gospel group evidenced their strong and vital faith. As WCSC Gospel Choir member Gloria Douglas described it, "Gospel music is the word of God being portrayed in song. The most important aspect of the music is our belief in Jesus Christ." The Gospel Now , (Photo by Michael J. Mahogey) Shannon lectures by KATHY STAUDENMEIER Correspondent Last Tuesday the Black Student Union (BSU) presented a lecture on career planning and job search techniques as part of the Black History Week series. The guest speaker was Robert Shannon, Director of Employment and Economic Development for the Urban League in Philadelphia. Unemployment is destined to become worse, according to Shannon. The Carter Administration is prepared to risk higher unemployment to lower inflation. The first to get laid off will be blacks and white women. Already Philadelphia has the tightest job market in the U.S. The official unemployment rate in Philadelphia stands at 18%. Shannon believes it is closer to 30%. The entire northeast corner of the U.S. is in a decline since it is geared mostly to manufacturing. The job market is becoming more technically oriented. Seventy percent of the jobs Urban League handles are technical. Openings in accounting, computer programming, and engineering overshadow the more traditional teaching, social work, and liberal arts fields. Shannon also offered advice for interviews. He stressed the need to "know your company", dress neatly, ("it's not Soul Train you're interviewing for"), look the interviewer in the eye, be punctual and relax.

Text Any textual data included in the document Community leader, students comment on racial problems By NANCY J. HOLT Ed. Note: This is the first of two articles probing into the racial problems on the West Chester campus and how they relate to the community of West Chester and vice versa. Three members of the black college community and one member of the black community of the town of West Chester are in agreement that there is racial discrimination at the college and something has to be done about it. Larry Doudy, Chairman of Black History Week, and Huk Bethea, Chairman of Black Student Union, in a QUAD ANGLES interview, agreed that the problem is caused by the whites. "I think the problem lies within the white people," Doudy said, "and they are causing one (problem) to themselves because they cannot accept us as black students." Communication Bethea commented that the problem lies in communication between the blacks and whites. He said that this communication exists because "the white folks don't want to accept a person for what he really is." Bethea went on to say that there are two types of blacks: those who accept the white man as a person, and those who say if the white man treats him as a dog, he will do the same. When asked to which category he belonged, Bethea replied: "I can't really say. I was brought up in a black society. Everyone is prejudiced in one way or another. I'm prejudiced in oneway." Dave Flamer, President of Men's Resident Government, said, in another interview that discimination does exist on campus. "It's in their minds. It's, how do you say it, hereditary." He added: "When there's a minority of blacks and a majority of whites, you're going to have racial undertones." Doudy and Bethea agreed that black studies need to be integrated into the overall curricula, since they both feel that the problem between blacks and whites on this campus is coming to a head. "We are reaching a peak," Doudy said, "There are alot of little things black students have been working at for years. We want to see a definite positive sign this semester because it will reach a peak of tension and the cork will pop. He continued: "I am against gradual change because I have been promised gradual change and haven't gotten it. They (college community) move or be moved." When asked how he would move the college community, Doudy stated that he was not at liberty to say. Asked if he meant violence, Doudy said, "No comment. Whatever they force us to do," Asked if he considered himself a radical: "In my own right, I am a radical," Bethea replied, "I don't think of myself as a radical, but people do." Workable Solution Flamer feels the college communitycommunity shouldn't worry about the problem reaching a peak. "We shouldn't concern ourselves with what will happen." He said, "Why not get a workable solution before it happens." The three student leaders feel that course integration is an answer, but it is not the sole answer* Flamer states, "We have to deal with being human beings first." Bethea feels that a change of attitude not only on the part of the students but preferably with all whites involved is necessary. When asked about white students who might resent the integration of black studies in the curricula, Doudy answered, "If they resent integration, this is white backlash ... what if I don't accept a white course, I get penalized. I don't care what the white man does. If he doesn't like it, then let him jump on his band wagon and change it."Hecontinued: "The humanistic thing to do is to unweave the trend of racism. This (course integration) is not the main thing to resolve. We're not saying all black history. The problem here is that the change lies on the white man. He has to start looking at the black man as he truly is. ... I've been saying the same thing to Sykes and Rossey BflßMlMcAdoo Dave Flamer, President of Men's Resident Government . ."We can't turn our faces away." | I Bill McAdoo Larry Doudy. . . "In my own right I am a radical." Outsiders blamed in stabbing incident By TERRY COHEN As the investigation of the fight and stabbing following last Saturday night's dance continues, a more extensive and detailed description of the incident has unfolded. - "Chairs Flying. . ." Kenneth Burda, Director of the College Union, and Dean of Student Affairs Weislogel were present when the fight started. Burda said that he tried to break it up. "There were chairs flying around," he said, "and more people on the outskirts of the fight who looked like they might get involved." Burda went to get Dean Weislogel to help him disband the group. "We grabbed people," said Weislogel, (meaning Burda, a State policeman, and himself). Weislogel said that the fight appeared to start with two people, and then five people jumped on one of the original two. More people then joined in. "There were a lot of students trying to break the fight up," stated Burda. After the fight was broken up, the band was told to stop playing, and the security guards cleared the building.Security for the dance was provided by four guards from the Brandy wine Security Agency. Campus security made "periodic appearances" at the dance, according to Security Chief Sweeney.At last report, the State Police were convinced that "no college students, West Chester or Cheyney" were responsible for the stabbing incident which occured after the dance. "An Unusual Situation" Dean Weislogel said that he didn't think that those involved were West Chester students. "It was an unusual situation," said Burda. "There were an awful lot of people at that dance (who) didn't belong there." Weislogel said that the incident was "a very frightening thing," and that there was "anger and frustration exhibited by blacks as well as whites." He continued to say that he thought the problem was an "attitudinal problem," in that it will take a chance of attitudes to correct the situation. He felt that the basic problem was the "black-white issue," and that it will take responsible people of both groups to work with their respective groups to effect changes in attitude. Curtailment Unnecessary What bearing does this incident have on West Chester's campus? Burda doesn't "expect any trouble at future dances, if they use their heads." Dean Weislogel feels that it would be "unwise" to schedule social events following "possible volatile sporting events," but he asserts that we should "have to curtail social events." Administration sees university coming The chances of West Chester State attaining university status within the next five years are excellent, stated Dr. Albert E. Filano. The Dean of Faculty and Academic Affairs commented that the only requirement the college lacks, according to the application from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, is a doctoral program. Five Years Dr. Willard Trezise, Dean of Graduate Studies, predicted that it will take West Chester at least five years to attain university status, since it will take at least that long to establish a "quality doctoral program" in the arts and sciences. The Dean cites "quality" as being applied by the National Council of Graduate Schools. Dr. Trezise also said that he thinks the systems established for attaining university status is backwards. He would like the college to be granted university status before the establishment of a doctoral program. "I would hate to have a doctoral program just to become a university," he said. He also commented that not all of the universities in Pennsylvania have doctoral programs. He cited Susquehanna University as an example. Dr. Filano said that he doesn't think a doctoral program is necessary to attain university status. But Dr. Trezise would like to see the procedure for attaining university status reversed. He stated that at a past meeting of the Council of Graduate Deans, the deans petitioned the chairman of the state-wide board to apply for university status first and then allow schools to develop doctoral programs under a consultant from the commission of higher education. Complete Picture The application as it stands now is a broad one, commented Dr. Filano. It requests a complete picture of the institution "encompassing its breadth in terms of faculty, administration, students, and facilities." The Department of Education requests such specific information such as financial records for the past five years and financial projection for the next ten years. The Department also requests the same information in reference to student enrollment and the number of degrees awarded. Under the application heading of "Program", the institution must also submit information concerning the undergraduate curricula, graduate curricula, credit and grading system, length of academic year, and faculty. Each faculty member must also complete a resume sheet. Review Dr. Filano said that the application will be completed sometime this semester when it will be forwarded to the Department of Education. The Department then reviews the application and upon considering it complete, appoints a committee somewhat similar to the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools to visit the campus and make its recommendation to the state-wide board. When asked about the advantages of university status, Dr. Filano replied: "We hope university status will enable us to serve the youth of the commonwealth better through the monetary sense by additional programs and additional high quality professors and students. We have made tremendous strides in the past, and with the attainment of university status we will continue to expand our services."
