BSU commemorates Malcolm X
(Continued from page 1) this concept of blackness," Clark said.
Clark went on to say, "He was a revolutionist in the true sense of the word. He knew economic and political power could not be communicated away."
Mylene Rucker, Los Angeles, Calif., sophomore, spoke of past and present conditions blacks face in America.
Miss Rucker spoke of blacks banding together: "You got to stick together. Black is beautiful. Black is proud. If our black
people can get together, it will be the most beautiful thing that ever happened at this University."
Miss Rucker admonished the liberal attitude of talking of black problems, but doing nothing about them. Citing the assassination of Malcolm X in 1965 and the apparent lack of concern expressed by the white community, Miss Rucker said, "This sorry business has to go on along the way. This is going to change. Sorry ain't going to bring a man back alive."
Brown's lawyer speaks
Miss Kennedy was guest speaker in the second of a series of lectures last night in the Kansas Union Ballroom sponsored by the University Christian Movement.
Participants in the University Christian Movement's course on Institutional Racism were urged by Florence Kennedy, 53-year-old lawyer for H. Rap Brown, to examine their community's institutions, including this University, for racism.
An estimated 300 people heard Miss Reynolds combine the language of the layman with a lawyer's legal terminology to offer suggestions on what they
could do to eliminate institutional racism.
"The closer racism gets to us, the more complicated the problem," she said. It is safer (for whites) to deal with blacks on another continent (Biafra) than in our own community."
She urged the audience to examine racism in the courts. However, she refused to offer a method of examination, preferring to leave this to the audience's own initiative.

"Students used to be chosen people protected by ivy, until they began to try to change the direction of an oppressive society," she said.
"We have no room for individuals, because we are oppressed as a group," Reynolds said.
With history as a platform, Playthell Benjamin, black lecturer, historian and teacher, told a nearly all black audience that they must reconsider everything they had learned and this time view it through the eyes of black people instead of white people.
Speaking in the Kansas Union Forum Room Friday night he said, "When they talk about liberty, equality and laud basic human dignity, black people must now realize that we overheard a beautiful dream and just thought it was meant for us."
Benefit to aid Biafra
A "Benefit for Biafra" was staged last night to raise money to be donated to the World Church Relief program. Sponsoring the event at Wesley Foundation was the KU "Keep Them Flying" coalition.
"Our purpose is twofold," said Joe Van Zandt, Caney senior and co-chairman. "We want to raise money for Biafran relief while educating people and getting them interested in the Biafran crisis."
Nixon hints at Russ summit

The speech was one of only two major addresses the President will deliver on the trip ending next Sunday. The other will be in Berlin on Thursday.
During brief airport ceremonies with King Baudouin on his arrival, Nixon compared his search for a "durable peace" to the quest of President Woodrow Wilson 50 years ago.
He noted the irony of black children starving in the Mississippi Delta "in a society that suggests it is a standard bearer of the notion that all citizens should have equality of opportunity and equal chances to participate in the American economy."
"There was a contradiction between the professed ideals of the founding fathers of this nation and their real, everyday practices which has developed throughout American history and which is responsible for the contradictions we find in American society today." Benjamin said.
One of his main points centered around contradictions of American society.
As an example he cited Thomas Jefferson's holding slaves while writing the Declaration of Independence praising universal freedom and equality of all people.
met privately with 38-year-old Baudouin. Then, joined by Secretary of State William P. Rogers and Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, his national security adviser, the President conferred for an hour and 35 minutes with Belgian Premier Gaston Eyskens and Foreign Minister Pierre Harmel.

But there were others in the small crowd who tried to downshout the hecklers with cheers for the American Chief Executive.

With Nixon, all was business. The ceremonies at the airport on a cold evening were relatively brief.
Last Tuesday, KU College faculty members voted to continue the availability of ROTC courses in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences curriculum. The meeting also tabled a proposal to increase the number of required graduation credits for ROTC students taking the full ROTC curriculum.
Across the nation, colleges have begun to stop giving academic credit for ROTC courses. Harvard, Stanford, Dartmouth, Yale and Bowdoin have stopped giving ROTC credit; and other schools have begun to follow suit.
However, the forum which was organized as a direct confrontation of protesters and administration did not result in a reconsideration of the University's commitment to the military programs it endorses.

Again ROTC protest cooled, until late April of 1968. Again the leftists demanded the ending of the military-university relationship and confronted the administration with Salsich as a spokesman.
