Black Love basically means one word — unity, said Alicia Williams, Kansas City, Kan.. junior.
This week Black Student Union will show off its unity and culture with the longstanding tradition of "Black Love Week."
BSU runs programs during this week to try to bring more unity and cultural awareness to the University of Kansas.
Events during Black Love Week
This year's events were planned to try to bring organizations and students of all backgrounds to celebrate unity.
EVENTS DURING BLACK LOVE WEEK
BSU has been connecting with different students on campus.
"Our goal for this year was trying to outreach to different organizations and keep those relationships strong." said Alicia McDougal, Lenexa senior and BSU president.
McDougal and Victor Aguilar, Dodge City sophomore and the Hispanic-American Leadership Organization president, were at Saturday's powwow helping the First Nations Student Association make Indian tacos.
Organizations like BSU have difficulty attracting non-minority students to come to their events.

Conclave fails to elect pope
BY BRIAN MURPHY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY — Black smoke streamed from the Sistine Chapel's chimney yesterday to signal that cardinals failed to select a new pope in their first round of voting, held just hours after they began their historic task: finding a leader capable of building on John Paul II's spiritual energy while keeping modern rifts from tearing deeper into the church.
"It seems white. ... No, no, it's black!" reported Vatican Radio as the first pale wisps slipped out from the narrow pipe and then quickly darkened.
As millions around the world watched on television, at least 40,000 people waited in St. Peter's Square with all eyes on the chimney, where smoke from the burned ballots would give the first word of the cloacate; white meaning a new pontiff, black showing that the secret gathering will continue today.
In the last moments of twilight, the pilgrims began to point and gasp. "What is it? White? Black?" hundreds cried out. In a few seconds — at about 8:05 p.m. — it was clear the 115 cardinals from six continents could not find the two-thirds majority needed to elect the new leader for the world's 1.1 billion Roman Catholics. Only one vote was held yesterday.
Pew expected a quick decision. The cardinals have a staggering range of issues to juggle. In the West, they must deal with the fallout from priest sexabuse scandals and a chronic shortage of priests and nuns. Elsewhere, the church is facing calls for sharper activism against poverty and an easing of its ban on condoms to help combat AIDS.

In this photo released by the Vatican paper L'Osservatore Romano, Master of Liturgical Celebrations Archbishop Piero Marini closes the door of the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican yesterday after proclaiming the "extra omnes," which is the Latin order for all those not taking part in the conclave to leave the chapel. Starting yesterday, 115 Cardinals from all around the world were sequestered inside the Sistine Chapel to elect the new head of the Roman Catholic Church.
The next pontifit also must maintain the global ministry of John Paul, who took 104 international trips in his 26-year papacy and is already being hailed as a saint by many faithful.
"Keep praying for the new pope," said 82-year-old Cardinal Luis Aponte Martinez of Puerto Rico, who was too old to join the conclave, open to cardinals only under age 80.
It was the first time in more than a generation that crowds stared at the chimney for the famous smoke and word of a new pope. In that time, the church has been pulled in two directions: a spiritual renaissance under John Paul but battered by scandals and a flock pressing for less rigid teachings.
But in chilly St. Peter's Square, thoughts were only on who would next appear under the crimson drapes
at the basilica's central window as the 265th nontiff.
"We thought it was white, then it went black. I had a feeling of exhilaration followed by disappointment," said Harold Reeves, a 55-year-old theology student from Washington.
Added 20-year-old Italian student Silvia Mariano: "You can't describe the feeling. When the smoke came out, it looked white, and I got chills."
Even before the conclave began, one of the possible candidates German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger tried to set a tone of urgency.
His homily in a special memorial Mass for the pope warned that the church must take a strict line about moral drift and "a dictatorship of relativism" that fights the idea of absolute truths.
"Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church, is often labeled today as a fundamentalism," said Ratzinger, 78, who has been the Vatican's chief overseer of doctrine since 1981. "Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and 'swept along by every wind of teaching,' looks like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards."
