improve the situation of blacks by serving as a positive role model.
'My philosophy and my thinking is geared towards advancing my race by advancing myself', he said. 'I want to show blacks out there that 'Hey, there is a chance for me.'
Banks said there were few blacks in high positions, because of racial inequality and discrimination. Consequently, blacks did not have many people to serve as role models.
Television programs such as "The Jeffersons" and "Sanford and Son" only perpetuate a negative image, he said.
"Sure there are the Jeffersonians and the Sanfords, but there are also blacks and whites, millions of authors."
Banks has taken a more active role in fighting racial inequality than merely serving as a role model.
WHILE AT THE UNIVERSITY of Kansas, Banks initiated a one-man picket outside Strong Hall to protest the exclusion of blacks from the school's fraternity system.
Aften he picketed for a day, a few white students joined him. Once outside the University, he still found himself fighting.
In 1975 he was fired from his position as a sports columnist at the Sun-Times for insubordination.
In an interview with the Chicago Defender, a black newspaper, he called his sports editor a racist, he said. When he failed to apologize he was promptly fired.
Banks said he had withstood months of racial pressures and had attempted to resolve the problem.
problem.
Thirteen months later, the arbitration board for his union cleared him of the charges, and he was rehired by the Sun-Times.
Banks keeps on fighting, because he never wants to relive his past.
He grew up being called "boy," even though he bad tad address all whites as mister or miss.
School met only when blacks weren't picking cotton, he said.
BORN IN MISSISSIPPI in 1941. Banks has dealt with the problem of inequality for his entire career.
Banks remembers that. He never wants to go back.
"We could eventually offer some small classes. Many of us used to teach. We could offer a class on contrapectives like they do in the family living department," Schwegler said.
"We still have a dream," he said. "I hope that more people have this dream."

family who are the classes are a new idea and Strobl said he was not sure when the hospital would be able to start them.
“But, we are more concerned that people get what they need at the right time. It depends on what people want.” Schweiger said, “If they want contraceptives, they should get them right later. Later on they might not come back if they have a change of heart or out of eibehalt.”
The hospital has had many GYN patients in the past, Schwegler said. He said that on some days he saw 20 patients in the morning and another 20 in the afternoon.
LAST YEAR ALONE, the hospital did more than 2,400 pap smears. Schwegler said he expected even more patients this year, because of the new department.
the new department. The expanded department should be an asset to women at the University because tests are less expensive at Watkins, Schwegler said.
"An exam would cost $50 dollars outside and
here it would just be the cost of the pap smear," Schwegler said. "Just as importantly, we are training girls. We may be able to save lives."
Strobl said that the hospital was already busy. On Monday, doctors took 246 patients, and 201 students came in Tuesday. He said the new appointment system should help.
"It will smooth out the patient load so that we won't have 500 one day and 100 the next," he said.
SCHWEGLER SAID THE new system would also eliminate some of the time students spent in class, but not all.
"I've heard people saying they can't wait and it does happen," he said. "These people have paid their fees and they should be accommodated."
The appointment system should also help straighten out the problem that hospital personnel have with patient charts. The hospital has 30,000 active charts. With appointments, charts could be pulled the night before and that would save time, Strobi said.
Students can obtain an appointment by calling Watkins Hospital.

employment programs, which have been cut by about 60 percent.
- Reductions in benefit payments for individuals are greatest for households with income below $10,000. In 1984, for example, such households will lose an average of $430 in benefits relative to what they would have received under prior law, compared to the average loss in all income categories of about $250. A household, according to the Census Bureau, can consist of only one person, while a family consists of two or more related people.
THE BUDGET OFFICE cautioned that its estimates were for changes in federal spending only and do not include the effects of the recent tax cuts, which would raise after-tax incomes for some households. However, the tax cuts have led to a much bigger biggest savings to higher-income households.
The CBO also said that if Reagan economic policies "significantly raise the rate of economic growth and reduce unemployment ... then they will be more efficient in meeting some extent offset the reductions in benefits.
