Racism course given good response
By DIANE SAMMS Kansan Staff Writer
When a no credit course attracts 270 students for $3 \frac{1}{2}$ hours a week, it must be something special.
The White Racism course offered by the University Christian Movement (UCM) evoked just that response.
The course was so oversubscribed, explained the Rev. Thomas Rehorn, campus minister of the Wesley Foundation, that last-minute arrangements had to be made to accommodate the flood of enrollees.
After reading the report of the National Advisory commission on Civil Disorders and feeling "a need to come to terms with white identity," Mr. Rehorn and his UCM colleagues developed the four-week course.
The cover of the brochure for the course had "Nigger" splashed across it in bold, white
German students will upset speech
BERLIN (UPI)—Radical students handed out Molotov cocktail recipes yesterday and pledged to break up tonight's scheduled speech by Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger.
The militant students fought police all day Monday in a protest over disbarment proceedings against a lawyer who frequently defends left wing students.
Kiesinger is in West Berlin for the convention of his Christian Democratic Party.
Nearly 1,000 students fought 400 police Monday night in an attempt to storm the courthouse where the bar association heard disbarment proceedings against Herst Mahler. He was acquitted of a charge he took-part in an illegal demonstration.
letters on a black background.
"I put a stack of them in the Union, and an hour later they had disappeared," Mr. Rehorn said, reflecting on how quickly word of the course spread across campus.
Participants in the course met Sunday evenings in Smith Hall, the School of Religion, to view films and hear lectures providing information for discussion, Mr Rehorn said. Faculty members lectured on the topics of the historical perspective of white racism, the psychology of racism and the church as racist and reconciler. Films shown during the Sunday evening meetings were "Nothing But a Man" and one of a speech by Stokely Carmichael.
Eighteen discussion groups of 15 persons each met for two hours each week, Mr. Rehorn said. The format for discussions was unstructured, depending upon the particular direction each group chose to take, he explained.
Mrs. Frank Shavlik, assistant dean of women and discussion
leader, said her group dealt primarily on the personal level. Group members prepared personal position papers for one session, she said.
The T-group methodology was employed in the group led by Wayne Sailor, Los Angeles graduate student. "I didn't take much of a teaching role," he said explaining that group members chose discussion topics.
Some group leaders brought in films or records to aid discussion. Mr.Rehorn said.
Several discussion leaders felt that individual action would result from the study and discussion. "I hope they (the participants) will start asking what they can do," Mr. Rehorn said, adding that nothing definite is planned for follow-up.
The course may be offered again in the spring, Mr. Rehorn said.
"We have a basic model that works," he explained, adding that because of certain flaws in the present course, "It will probably be a totally different animal."
