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 Georgia this 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, Broadmax greeted black youths who were interested in being accepted to Harvard, and business and civic leaders wanted to help their children attend the country's oldest university.
About 75 people attended the svmposium.
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 attending college was still rare
"It's still enough of an exception that it's a big time for parents to celebrate." Broadnax said. "Going to college has not 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're 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 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.
Broadaxn 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 relaxed 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, Broadax 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."

Highergerman said he didn't want the Senate's money if senators put restrictions on what the handbook could contain, saving that would be censorship.
Higherberger 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.

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.
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.
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.
Hayden 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, with won by four votes.
This is the only House race to draw a personal Reagan visit this election season.

THE SOUND ALTERNATIVE
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 will" 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.
"If You Can Imagine It,
For Republicans, the Indiana seat "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.

OSU continues domination
By FRANK HANSEL
STILL WATER, Okla. — Since 1972, the Kansas football team has had five head coaches and hundreds of players. A common bond shared between them is that they have never beaten Oklahoma State.
Saturday night, the 1986 Kansas Jayhawks joined that group when they lost to the Cowboys 24-6 in Stillwater, Okla. In the last 14 games against Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks lost to Oklahoma Eight Conference team to dominate Kansas more is Nebraska, a team the Jayhawks have not beaten since 1968.
The loss, Kansas' third straight, dropped the Jayhawks to 3-4 overall and into last place in the conference with an 0-3 record. Oklahoma State improved to 3-4 overall and 1-2 in the conference.
Thomas rushed for 170 yards, including a 56 yard touchdown run in the third quarter that doubled the OSU lead. It was the first time Thomas rushed for over 100 yards since he gained 100 yards on 23 car
Two Cowboys teamed up to keep the streak alive. Running back Thurman Thomas broke out of a year-long slump, and freshman quarterback Mike Gundy continued to show why OSU head coach Pat Jones was correct in playing him ahead of last year's starter. Ronnie Williams.
ries against Oklahoma in 1985.
Thomas, who rushed for 1,654 yards last season and was named The Associated Press' Big Eight Offensive player of the year and AP became the third Cowboy to rush for more than 3,000 career yards.
Gundy, who beat out Williams for the starting quarterback job in the fall, threw for one touchdown, ran for another and threw no interceptions. He completed 20 of 36 passes for 275 of OSU's 510 yards on offense. Since taking over, Gundy has not committed a turnover.
The Gundy-Thomas show over shadowed the resurgence of the KU offense.
Despite being held scoreless until the final minutes of the game, the Jayhawk offense produced 349 yards.
"Everybody is looking at me when the offense is struggling and that's okay with me," Orth said after the game. "But I don't care what people think. I only care what my family and teammates think of me."
— its best output since Kansas beat Southern Illinois four weeks ago.
Quarterback Mike Orth, who had been criticized for his performances against Iowa State and Kansas State, completed 25 of 36 passes for 282 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

in the past, but it's still not good enough."

A holding penalty, two incomplete passes and a quarterback sack later, the Jayhawks punted.
Poor field position and a punishing Cowboy defense hurt the Jayhawk cause.
Of the 15 KU possessions, seven started inside the KU 20-yard line and only one started in OSU territory. KU linebacker Mike Long recovered a fumble by punt returner Bobby Riley at the OSU 39-yard line.
"Things like this happen to a team in a slump," a KU head coach Bob Valestein. "Their defense would stop us, and we ourselves. We just didn't get it done."
When the Cowboy defense did stop the KU offense, it was usually in the form of a hard-hitting, secondary defender.
Mark Moore, All America free safety, said. "This win really felt good. We needed to win a game, get it done and we won." And we got them all in one game.
Jayhawk receivers were often physically separated from the ball by the aggressive OSU defenders.
"A lot of times when I threw the ball, I felt sorry for the receivers because I knew they were to get to their heads knocked off." Orth said.
