History of blacks explored in movie
By JIM LEHNER
Staff Reporter
The history of blacks in 20th century America was depicted in the 1968 film, "Black History: Lost, Stolen or Strawn."
A speech by Bill Tuttle, KU professor of history, preceded the film switch which ended the series.
The film was shown last night at Windriff Auditorium in the Kansas U
Tutte said the film was timely to usure the tension of thegence of the Kutu Kutu and Nagalara.
"I believe that the new Reaganomics has a racist viewpoint," Tutted said.
"By doing such things as cutting back on social services needed by the poor and giving tax exemptions for people in poverty, we are making it to private schools is blatant racism.
TUTLE, the author of "Race Riot," which described a 1919 race riot in Chicago, said that he was happy to be part of Black History Month.
He said that the film centered around the turbulent 60s and was meant to remind blacks and whites that civil war is a significant problem in American society.
"In the 60s great strides were made toward racial progress. Since then, though, there seems to be a trend that the rights is going backward. With Voting Rights Act 2010, it might be possible jeopardy, black Americans are facing a possible crisis," Tuttle said.
Tuttle said that Carter G. Woodson, a black historian, was given credit for firing the white officers.
"Woodson wanted to impress white America that blacks had some redeeming qualities and that they could stand on their own two feet," Tuttle said.
The film began with narrator Bill Cosby in a classroom. It showed children drawing pictures of how they thought they looked.
MOST OF the white children, Cosby said, viewed themselves as attractive, while the black children described
themselves as faceless and missing arms.
Cosby then talked about history books and the way they denied blacks.
"Many blacks fought and died in the civil war but yet you have to dig pretty deep in history books to find much information," Cosby said.
"There was also a black who first discovered the North Pole."
Cosby said that whites considered most Africans to be primitive, but many of the finest sculpting was copied from African models.
"Old movies portraying blacks in the film always showed them serving the white man or it would have them doing what they wanted to make the audience laugh," he said.
Cosy said that great black talent by such people as Steppin-Fetchit was wasted because they played baboon characters.
Later in the film, a black teacher is shown instilling pride into black children by telling them they're worth something. He tells them to stand up for their rights. He wants them to be proud that they're black and beautiful.
TOPEKA-If the State Board of Regents had submitted Gov. John Carlin's predetermined "B-level experience, a possible layoff of more than 400 employees at state colleges, including almost 120 faculty and staff members at the University of Kansas, John Carlino, executive director of the State Board of Regents.

Besides requiring the cutback on employees, a "B>level allocation" upon which Carlin's entire budget is based—would have adversely affected libraries and laboratories at state colleges, Conard said.
Board veto of budget explained
Asked why the board submitted a "rebel" request, Conard said, "Obviously, we didn't think the governor's recommendations were adequate."
The Board of Regents was one of several state agencies that refused to comply with Carlin's budget procedures, some of which Kansas governor Robert Stephen declared littered in a 17-page opinion Wednesday.
aware of the statutes cited in Stephan's report before they drew up a budget request last year. But the board's knowledge of the probable unconstitutional reasons for reconstitution was not the sole reason not complying with his requests.
"It wasn't a matter of stonewalling the governor," Conard said. "The board felt strongly that it had a responsibility to submit a budget that would appropriately fund the universities involved."
THE BOARD submitted one budget request, rather than Carlin's predetermined three requests, based on the expected amount of state revenue the highest and lowest estimates estimated by the governor's budget director.
Conard said board members were
In drawing up his report, the governor used only the "B'level allocations—those based on expected as—each agency had requested.
However, the governor omitted the Board of Regents' request for state colleges because the amount was higher than his "B"-level allocation.
In Stephan's opinion, this omission was not authorized by law.
submit a single request for appropriations, and it is that request which the governor is required to include in the budget report for submission to the Legislature," Stephan said in his report.
The omitted request by the Board of Regents was about $168 million for KU, nearly $18 million higher than the governor's 'BU' level request.
MIKE SWENSON, assistant press secretary for Carlin, called the budgetary problems outlined by Stephan "very minor and easily recified" and said that 95 percent of the state's agencies had complimented and complied with the governor's new budgetary procedure.
However, State Rep. David Miller, R-Edurora, who prompted Stephan's investigation into the budget, said, "That infurates me. I don't happen to think this is minor. This is blatantly unconstitutional."
Miller agreed that most state agencies had submitted Carlin's recommended budgets rather than his own. "the political muscle of the governor."
"Each state agency is required to

"How much money are you going to get if you stand up to the governor?" Miller said.

DID YOU KNOW?
The Pilgrims landed at Cate Cod in 1620. From there they began their journey across the desert to settle and finally discovered what is now Pipomhur. Had they arrived a few years earlier they would have followed the pilgrim's dian tribe in the region in 1617, the Patuxet tribe, which had occupied that whole area, had been completely wiped out by a plague. It was perhaps Pilgrim's help the Pilgrims could have survived
