Black Engineers Are Sought
By NANCY ROCK Kansan Staff Writer
Less than one per cent of all engineers receiving B.A. degrees last year were black, according to the Student Council for Engineering at Hawk University Educate Black Engineers (COSEME). Nunnery organized this program in order to open the engineered field to black students.
The objective of the SCoR-MBEE organization is to "find some way to bring about a constructive program to increase opportunities" for nouny black engineers," Nurney, said
According to Nunnery, 43,000 engineers graduated with B.A. degrees last year and only 789 were black. Two hundred and sixty of the black graduates were predominately black colleges.
"Industry" systematically excluded blacks from getting engineering jobs in the past; an unwritten policy that blacks would be the first fired and the last hired prevailed. "Nunnery" was a school where the reason for the small number of black engineers graduated.
THE PURPOSE of SCORME is to develop a program in which high school seniors can improve their backgrounds in science and math. The Association initiates a program in which high school juniors can view the field of engineering and possibly be involved in it.
Eighty letters were sent to various industries asking them if SCORMEBE representatives could discuss their proposed program in detail, with the assistance of obtaining money to support it.
Funding was the next step, so SCoRMEBE turned to industry
Thirty companies requested interviews and SCoMMEBE received $33,000 in actual funding for its project.
A recent proposal for a student evaluation of residence halls, which has been suggested by a Student Senate committee, has the support of the Association of University Residence Halls Council, according to Mike Sundermeyer, AURH president. The proposed survey, Sundermeyer said, would include people in the residence halls.
American Theatrical Company group has been booked for Monday. March 6. The company will present the play "The Cage."
AURH Against Evaluation By Students
Such a survey, in which students evaluate their residence halls or work at other workers offered at other universities, he said. The survey could work here. Sundermeyer would be too late for any action to be taken and surveys could seldom revealed anything new.
A well-known singer who performs about 90 concerts at night, Lightfoot is primarily a song writer. He writes folk music by Joan Haer, Richie Havens, Paul, and Mary and others.
Gordon Lightfoot is scheduled to highlight the 1972 Festival of the Arts, March 6-11, according to Steve Warren, Hastings, Heb. man of the festival. Lightfoot will appear Saturday, March 11.
"The Cage" originated in a theatre workshop at a penitentiary. It presents a dramatic, intense narrative on prison life and prison reform.

Scott, winner of the 1971 Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in *The Man with the Iron Glove* musician; "The Proposition," a comedy group, and "A Long Time Goes," a group that combines poetry, politics and music.
The fact that the KU School of Engineering is backing the organization is important to the funding, according to Nunnery.
Nunnery said he expected success in funding this year because he could show that "the organization was instigated by blacks and that there are results as interest in the program."
PLANS ARE IN PROGRESS for 10 to 15 black students to camp next summer through funds of the federal government. If the funds are not available, QRMEBE will provide funds.
"Faculty in other professional areas want to do something interesting in their fields, but they don't have any working leadership or a working relationship with the student body," said Nunumber.
THE STUDENTS were chosen on the basis of their desire to enter the field of Education. They are high school teachers and their high school schools, and in high ground, the students are
