Students to talk with corporations
Campus/Corporate Dialogue created by the Tape-A-Letter League (TALL), allows communication between students and business managers.
College students with complaints about businesses have an avenue of approach to corporate executives.
Wallace Thorsen, TALL director, said Campus/Corporate Dialogue provides a "continuing practical method of frank, uninhibited communication between the campus and the corporation; to improve the climate of the United States into which the emerging student must orient himself, and to
improve the machinery of recruiting and career-seeking by all types of employers and students."
One hundred charter member corporations will be permitted to join Campus/Corporate Dialogue its first year 1969-70.
Six hundred students will "tape talk" with three executives in three separate member corporations, Thorsen said. Six executives at various levels and divisions within each member corporation will "tape talk" with three students—a junior, senior and graduate student.
Tape recorders will be provided for all participants. If a student fails to complete the program, the recorder and black cassettes are returned to TALL, and he is replaced by another student.
Neither the student nor executive will know the last names or affiliation of the other. The tape letters are mailed month to TALL for copying and transmailing. Disclosures of identity will not be made without permission of the participants.
Details may be obtained by writing to TALL, 11 N Ave., Norwalk, Conn. 06851.
Ebony editor blasts education's influence
Lerone Bennett Jr., Ebony magazine editor, yesterday blasted his views on "Education and Oppression" to a mostly black audience at Washburn University.
Bennett said he considers education to be the "bone of our agony today." It is the influence of our educational institutions, he said, to either oppress or liberate.
"The more educated a black man becomes with our white-oriented socio-economic teachings, the more alienated he becomes both in the black community and to himself.
"Harvard has ruined more Negroes than bad whisky," Bennett said. He implied that the only escape from oppression is the use of guns and offered two ways to perpetrate oppression: by refusing to educate the black man and by educating him.
He emphasized that education's duty to be contextual is an attempt to
"Men have to be at home somewhere before they can be of value."
Dr. F. A. Wood, the pathologist, explained that sunlight triggers a chemical reaction among exhaust mixtures and creates air pollutants called photochemicals. He said such photochemical pollutants will increase three-fold by the year 2,000.
Plants threatened
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (UPI) - The major problem confronting plant life by the year 2,000 may stem from motor vehicle exhausts, a plant pathologist at The Pennsylvania State University says.
"Black people have been lynched both by chains, shackles, and also by words and symbols," he said. He labeled the educational system as a power force which deliberately dehumanizes the black man.
Wood said that by the advent of the 21st century more than 87 million pounds of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen will be emitted into the atmosphere by motor vehicles alone.

"Education is used as a political instrument in this country to take away from the black man his rhythm, his soul and his culture," he continued.
Education as a creation, not an initiation, should cut through vital areas of individuals own experiences—both black and white, Bennett said.
