Title A name given to the resource Maya Angelou insists on knowledge Subject The topic of the resource West Chester University of Pennsylvania, Student Newspapers, The Quad, 1984 Vol. 52 No. 18 Description An account of the resource This article was published on the first page of the February 28th, 1984 edition of "The Quad". It details her presentation that occurred as part of the 1984 Black History Month. Joe Hart notes that the central idea from Angelou's presentation is that for an individual to improve their status, they must read and learn. She spoke of her own origin as a poor black woman and the ways she achieved success through education. Though her presentation appears to have been directed at the upward mobility of poor black individuals, she notes that there is a mutual history between all.

Title A name given to the resource Michael Kay Involvement in an issue regarding the Viet Kong Flag Subject The topic of the resource Michael Kay Advocates for free speech Description An account of the resource After reading the letter printed in the "comment" column of the October 7 issue of QUAD ANGLES it became apparent that the gentlemen who submitted the letter must have had their view obstructed on Wednesday evening, October 1. Since the tone of the letter seemed somewhat biased it would not be too difficult for an objective mind to read through the foliage into the facts. However, I do believe that some of these facts need clarification. The first discrepancy appears in the number of people from Delaware SDS who were present. The letter stated that there were three members present, I believe the correct number is five. Concerning the adjournment of of the SAC meeting and the calling of the impromptu meeting the letter states that "The SDS members voiced one objection" to the move, I believe there were two, one was "that's a cop out" and the other "b ". This would Indicate to me that the SDS had come to the meeting In hopes of having a confrontation and were disappointed when it appeared that there would be no trouble. Let me point out that the proceeding sentence is merely opinion. The facts as related by the letter concerning the Incident with the Viet Cong flag are of particular interest to me since I was the "hysterical student" involved in the episode. I had been watching the group from Delaware since their objections to the adjournment and watched them uncover a Viet Cong flag which they had In their possession. When I recognized the flag I reported its presence to captain Urpine who contacted Officer Fritz and the three of us approached the five. Captain Urblne asked the group to show their LD.'s. During this time I had shown my security badge, in order to identify myself as a patrolman. As the letter states, "of course they had none." They objected to being questioned on the subject and stated that they didn't need any identification. Because of some personal experiences I have had with the Viet Cong flag I have feelings towards it which make me believe that its display in this college or anywhere in the free world is an affront to free and humane people everywhere. Granted, these feelings tend to make me react in a way which some may describe as hysterical and others as patriotic. When the group declared they needed no identification to be present I opened my wallet and showed them a membership card to the Disabled American Veterans chapter 14, based in Philadelphia. I then told them to get "that g. . . - d. ... rag out of here.''' The letter here states that I then attacked the leader of the group. This I did not do. I did grab the flag and try to rip it from the stick to which It was nailed. The only physical contact made by me with the group were "I don't think there is a legal question." By TERRY COHEN In the present conflict over the Student Activist Committee's and Students for a Democratic Society's use of Lawrence lounge, the question of legality has arisen--legality, not on a state or national level, but on the level of a college community. The question: Is It legal for the administration to expel a group of students from a college building? No Legal Question "I don't think there Is a legal question," said Walter Blair, Assistant Director of Facllitites. "We're talking about administering a building for 6000 students . . .The world legality is an assumption on (SAC and SDS's) part." Blair further explained that with the numerous organizations on campus, some rules must prevail governing the use of campus facilities. One of these rules is that a group not recognized by the administration can not reserve a room for its meeting. Free to Meet However, SAC and SDS are free to meet In the lounge as long as they do not try to reserve the room In advance; in other words, If they hold an impromptu meeting, no one can say anything. Blair and Mrs. Elinor Taylor, acting Dean of Student Affairs, said that the matter is "far removed from (their) hands." Mrs. Taylor also stated that "any question dealing with legality will not be debated or answered in this office." Two Issues Dr. Michael Kay, a member of the New University Conference commented upon two Issues which he felt were important in this matter. The first is that of policy-making right concerning the use of rooms for meetings. "Control over the allocation of rooms," he said, "should be primarily in the hands of the student body and faculty. Presumptuous and arbitrary ruling by the administration is out of order." Basic Presuppositions In discussing the second issue, Dr. Kay asked, "What should be the basic presuppositions that prevail among the policy-makers?" His answer was threefold: 1. "Freedom of access to campus facilities should take precedence over conflicting demands or needs (except when a clear and present danger exists). 2. "The acceptance of freedom of expression of different value systems should be reflected in the use of rooms. By no means should room scheduling be a means whereby opinions and symbolic acts, or organizations, that are considered to be undesirable by the administration, or by anyone else on campus, are denied expression.3. "Students and student organizations, whether they are officially recognized or not, should have access to these rooms." Alleged 'Threat" Dr. Kay also discussed the alleged "threat" that SDS imposes on campus. He disagrees that "12 or 15 students, that's all" are threatening the campus. "The threat to academic freedom, student freedoms, and faculty and student rights," he said, "comes primarily from the board of trustees, the administration, and those faculty and students who feel that they have a right to determine just what ideas, values, and organizations can exist on this campus." the repeated punches that the group delivered to my head and face while I held on to the flag. I threw no punches nor did I make any voluntary physical contact with the group, yet the letter refers to me as the aggressor and states that the group did nothing but defend themselves. During the melee which followed Officer Fritz was knocked to the floor and Captain Urbine succeeded in separating the group and myself. After the separation, the group turned and left the building at a gait between a fast walk and a jog while chanting, "Ho Ho Ho Chi Minn." The letter made five separate references to the actions of Chief Burger before, during, and after the incident. It should be pointed out that chief Burger did not arrive at Lawrence Center until at least ten minutes after the group from Delaware had left. Of course the authors of the letter must have confused Chief Burger with Captain Urbine, but the very fact that the gentlemen of the faculty did not even bother to attach the right names to the men they accused of irresponsible actions would put these accusations in a most doubtful position. On Wednesday moring, October 8, I had a conference with one of the co-signers of the letter in question. At this meeting he assured me that the letter was not written for the purpose of scandalous rabble rousing, as it appeared to me, but was instead meant to force President Rossey into a position where he would want a conference with the gentlemen.I then asked this member of the New University Conference (NUC) if this committee had in any way tried to contact Dr. Rossey and invite him to a conference by use of normal lines of communications. He said that to his knowledge they had not. Dr. Rossey seems to be a reasonable man with the best interest of the entire college community foremost in his heart. I'm sure there are easier ways to reach his office than accusations of criminal neglect. If the real intentions of New University conference are to aid the progress of W.C.S.C. toward its goals of fine quality higher education they should easily be able to meet with Dr. Rossey. However some people believe that progress comes not from reason but from turmoil. The tactics employed by NUC last week indicates that they are of the latter philosophy. I sincerely hope that these indications are false and that these highly unorthodox tactics will not be employed again.

The black then leaped to another table and is quoted as having said, "I am black. I am proud of my blackness - and I showed it."

Text Any textual data included in the document February is designated Black History month. This is the time when we reflect on accomplishments made by African Americans. This is the time wheh we pay homage to those who paved the way. Our ancestors built this country through blood and sweat, and it is our duty to honor their memory. We as students here on this campus and across the country must make it our duty to live up to the legacy of our people. This month is more than a few celebrations for Martin Luther King Jr. It is more than hearing about how Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. It is more than hearing spme black history fact on UPN 57! This month is about so much more. It's about celebrating a heritage. It's about finding out who we truly are as a people and where we come from. This month should be about the celebrations of Africans all across the world. Let's honor those who came before us. Let's respect one another. Let's show love for one another. Let's take pride in everything that we do, no matter what it is. The knowledge of self is something that we should all be striving for. The people that we will hear and read about went through the struggle. It is now our time to recommit to that struggle and recommit to becoming the type of positive individuals that those that are looking on us now know we can be. As future leaders, we can create our own Black history. We must set goals and attain those goals through hard work and dedication. Our source of inspiration must come from the memory; the memory of our ancestors on the cotton fields, our beautiful black women getting raped, the struggle for not only civil rights but human rights—all of our articulate leaders who were cut down in their prime because of how dangerous they were. That is where our motivation will come from not only this month but also everyday of every month of every ypar. We are under the impression that we have made it — that we have succeeded and no more work needs to be done. Well for all that have made it, there are plenty that have not. And until every African American has made it, then none of us have made it. This is our time to reflect and ponder on how we can made our black nation stronger. The great Malcolm X asked, "how can we love our enemy until we learn to love ourselves?" Let's unite and make our community the model for which all will follow. Many strong people perished so that we may have the opportunity for a better way of living. Take advantage of the opportunity that has been given to us. Take pride in knowing that we are descendants from the first people on earth. The change must come now. Focus your intentions on the positive. Allow yourself to be the embodiment of Black History month. This spirit is in all of us and we must reach it. The knowledge is there and we must seek it. This is our month, and through example we will make our foremothers and forefathers proud. Celebrate your race, culture and heritage.
