going to be hard to succeed. But the fact that it's a world dominated by whites is not a good enough reason not to try and succeed."
The Center for Black Leadership Development and Research, which was organized at the University of Chicago year, presented the symposium.
Joan S. Wallace, administrator for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of International Cooperation and Development, extolled a similar theme in his speech to the symposium.
She said blacks who succeeded should open the door of opportunity for their brothers and sisters.
After the symposium, Broadaxn greeted black youths who were interested in being accepted to Harvard, and business and civic leaders who wanted to help their students meet the country's oldest university.
About 75 people attended the symposium.
One woman explained to Broadnax that her son planned to attend college on either the East Coast or West Coast.
Broadnax, who graduated from KU in 1969 with a master's degree in public administration, said at the news conference was still rare among blacks.
"It's still enough of an exception that it's a big time for parents to celebrate." Broadway said, "Going on for a while will become commonplace for blacks."
He said students at Harvard had
asked how a black man such as himself had been able to become a Harvard professor.
"One of the strongest themes of this symposium has been the importance of setting goals," he said. "We together here to reaffirm our values. We're always going to have to jump over an extra hurdle because we are black."
'If a black man in a business suit and and a white man in a business suit walk into the same room,it's assumed that the white man knows what he's talking about.'
Walter Broadnax Professor at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government
"If a black man in a business suit and a white man in a business suit walk into the same room, it's assumed that the white man knows what he's talking about."
Broadnax said blacks have been stereotyped as athletes, musicians and fun-lovers.
"It's definitely not an image of
intellectual capacity and wherewithal that could make a contribution to the corporate or public sector in this country," he said.
Broadmax vehemently expressed his disgust that 100,000 blacks attended a huge, lavish funeral for an Oakland, Calif., black drug dealer several weeks ago.
Broadmax, who directs the Harvard/Ford Foundation Innovations in State and Local Government Program, said 54 percent of black babies were born out of wedlock.
"I remember from my days at KU in the late '60s that blacks were starting to view having babies as a good way to increase the black population in America," he said. "They rebelled against the whites telling them how to lead their love lives. The black community has relazed its fundamental values about family and wedlock."
Progressive studies on the "underclass" blacks — those who live in the urban slums — are necessary today because they are a hidden culture, Broadmax said.
Welfare programs are gradually being left to the discretion of state and local governments, he said.
"I'm not sure that massive infusion of funds is the total answer to helping blacks," he said. "What's important is that the presidents and U.S. senators, the people on the national pulpit, send the right signals to state and local governments."
propriate because the handbook was financed by state money and because it was targeted at freshmen.
"I don't want to see Disorientation discontinued." Epstein said. "It does provide a slice of the alternative life."

Handbook
Highberger said he didn't want the Senate's money if senators put restrictions on what the handbook could contain, saving that would be censorship.
Higherber also said the drug information in the next issue probably would not be the same as in the recent edition. Instead, the next edition might contain an article criticizing drug testing, he said.
Debate
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said he hoped students understood that the handbook was a publication of a student organization and not the University of Kansas.

system.
When pressed to give a time frame, he said he thought it could be done some time in the next four years.
Both candidates agreed on the need for additional prison space to combat severe overcrowding. Both also supported city growth through annexation, but stressed that cities must provide services to annexed city residents in a reasonable amount of time.
Hayden re-emphasized a plan that would phase Washburn into the system and wouldn't require any additional state funds until 1993.
Both agreed that when the state gets a $120 million windfall because of the federal-tax overhaul, the state should return the money to the Kansas taxpayers, instead of putting it in state coffers.
stayden said the state could offset the windfall by lowering income-tax rates for individuals. He said the state also could discontinue taxes on social-security payments to give senior citizens a break.
Docking, a Wichita tax attorney,
said the tax structure needed a full-scale review, adding, "I am uniquely qualified to do so."
GOP House candidates to get boost from Reagan
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - House Republicans, resigned to slipping even further into the minority in next week's elections, are hoping to strike at least a symbolic protest blow when President Reagan campaigns for one of their most visible candidates Wednesday.
Reagan will take time out of his final push for GOP Senate candidates to visit Evansville, Ind., the battlefield for one of the most bitterly contested House races in the country. It is a rematch of the 1984 election the Republicans say was stolen from them.
Reagan will appear at a rally on behalf of Richard McIntyre, who was denied a seat in the House two years ago after a recount by the Democratic-controlled chamber found his opponent. Rep. Frank McCloskey, had won by four votes.
This is the only House race to draw a personal Reagan sign this election
The party out of control of the White House generally picks up
House seats in a year without the national election. And, as campaigns enter their final stages, both parties are sticking by early estimates that the Democrats probably w" come out of the contest padding their 253-180 edge in the chamber by gaining 8 to 12 seats.
"This is basically, at heart, a status-quota election." Norman Ornstein, political analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, said, "People don't want to rock the boat, too much at this point."
But feelings still run high in Indiana's 8th District, which is just one of more than 40 House rematches around the country this year.
For Republicans, the Indiana sent "symbolizes more than any other the arrogance of power of perpetual Democratic control in the House;" Mitchell E. Daniels Jr., White House political director, said.
The Democrats countered that Reagan's appearance was a sign that the GOP was worried about the seat after noticing that McCloskey's popularity surged in the polls last week.
