BSU plans regional seminar
By JOHN HANNA Staff Reporter
The time has come for black students. Black Student Union has decided
To bring more attention to black student leaders and to increase the involvement of blacks in student activism, the Black Student Union will hold a three-day conference for February.
Its theme is "Our Time Has Come," a phrase taken from the Rev. Jesse Jackson's speech to the Democratic Convention last summer.
"We've been looking forward to this conference since last year." Christine Cressie, BSU president, said yesterday.
The conference, the 1985 Big Eight Conference on Black Student Government, will feature workshops, speakers, a pageant and a Gospel Extravaganza. Maynard Jackson,
former mayor of Atlanta, will be the keynote speaker.
BSU IS SPONSORING the conference with the office of minority affairs.
The three-day event is the eighth annual conference on black student government, but 1985 will be the first year that it has been at the University of Kansas. The center's conferences address among Big Eight universities
Kevin Harrison, a BSU member involved in the planning event, said the organization hoped that between 600 and 700 students from other universities would attend the conference. About 350 people attended last spring's conference at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Okla.
He also said that BSU hoped that students from the six Regents universities in Kansas came to the conference.
Jackie Cornwell, another BSU member, said that the group thought
attendance would be higher this year because of Kansas' central location
"NOT ALL OF THE Big Eight Schools went out to Oklahoma State because of the distance," she said.
Cressie said the goal of the conference was to increase the awareness of black students and to bring them to the attention of the University community. BSU members said the low number of black student senators indicated a lack of visibility.
"We have a lot of leadership on campus that's not being utilized," said Dale Brooks, BSU vice president.
cressie said, "I think that black student leaders feel as if there's no use in putting energy into a system that doesn't accept them initially. I think we're tired of being a lost group."
Sponsoring the conference will cost about $20,000. Cressie said.
