UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Journal to study influence of African-American males
By Mark Martin

The first national research journal focusing on African-American men will be produced at the University of Kansas.
The Journal of African American Male Studies, due out Oct. 23, was the idea of Jacob Gordon, director of KU's Institute for Black Leadership and Research Development, and Richard Majors, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin. Gordon said the need for a research journal about African-American males always had existed.
"The lack of research on Black males is obvious," he said. "This lack of knowledge about Blacks, particularly the positive influences on American culture, has led to fear and distrust."
and violent were too common.
Gordon said that stereotypes of African-American males as hostile
"Through the journal, we hope to dispel some stereotypes and also become part of the solution to problems facing Black men today," he said. "We would like to see this journal assist in public-policy formation."
Gordon added that African-American women, through advancement in women's studies programs, had been the subject of much more research and study than African-American men.
Amber Reagan, managing editor of the journal and a program assistant at the KU institute, said the journal would be distributed to colleges across the country, African-American fraternities and sororites and lawmakers in Washington, D.C. Reagan said a critical need existed to study the African-American male.
"There are always people calling this office looking for research on Black males," she said.
The first issue of the journal will print five articles, including one titled "Themes in the Life Views of Older and Younger African-American Males" by Brenda Crawley, KU associate professor of social welfare, and Edith Freeman, professor of social welfare. The journal also will include book reviews and commentaries.
The journal is a publication of the National Council of African American Men Inc., a nonprofit group that Gordon and Majors started three years ago. Gordon remains the president and chief executive officer of the council.
Gordon said that the council was particularly interested in helping African-American youth.
"Alcohol and drug abuse, joblessness and high school dropouts. These are all things killing young Black males," he said. "We can't afford to let Black men become an endangered species."

Senate Executive Committee yesterday delayed endorsing safety harbor because members said doing so could infringe on the right of KJHK's student managers to make their own broadcast decisions.
Safe harbor proposal to be rewritten
The committee spent 45 minutes debating the wording of a resolution endorsing safe harbor, which allows radio stations to broadcast music labeled "indecent" from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
E. P.Johns, professor of educational psychology and research, led the debate over the wording. He argued that by endorsing safe harbor, SenEx was telling the KJHK that he should not must endorse safe harbor. That would jeopardize the students' autonomy, Johnsen said.
But Brad Garlinghouse, student body president, said it was important for the committee to support
safe harbor as an idea of free expression and use it as an example of the student managers' autonomy.
"It seems like the student managers are only autonomous until something controversial comes up," Garlinghouse said.
Jason McIntosh, SenEx Student Senate representative who submitted the resolution, said it also was important to let the KJHK student managers and their faculty advisers know where they stood.
"We need to make the student managers perfectly assured that their decisions are autonomous," McNich忠 said. "They need to realize that they have autonomy on the big deal, just as much as on the little deals."
But the committee suggested that McIntosh rewrite the proposal without endorsing safe harbor and bring it before the committee in its new form at next week's SenEx meeting.
McIntosh said the new version
would read: "A any denial of student management's right to govern on issues such as safe harbor at KJIKH University." The student Rights and Responsibilities.
SenEx also passed a proposal to write a letter to James Scaly, assistant to the chancellor, in response to his letter that expressed disgust at SenEx's silence regarding a proposal submitted by Carl Burkhead, professor of civil engineering.
The proposal will allow discrimination at KU based on sexual orientation. Scully's letter expressed concern that SenEx had not taken a stand against the proposal.
Bob Friau, professor of physics and astronomy, said that saying nothing was the easiest way to dispose of the issue. He also reminded the committee that he had seconded Burkhead's proposal, therefore it was not brought to the floor for discussion.
