Hare describes black studies aim The publisher of a black magazine, who for. years has refused to stand during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner told a predominantly black audience Monday that Afro-American courses should be more than a study in blackness or a blackening of white material. Nathan Hare, publisher of Black Scholar, a journal of black studies and research, . spoke at the Nebraska Union in connection with Black Cultural 1 Week. In his address he welcomed students, faculty, the FBI and CIA. "A black studies course involves relevance on a community scale," he said. "For instance, as a student learns black history, part of the course should require him to transfer his knowledge to the community." Blacks are in school to bring knowledge to the black people, said Hare, the first coordinator of black studies courses in the U.S. He said interest in black studies has declined. "Newspapers at first made the courses sound exciting. But when the papers stopped writing about the courses, students lost interest." he said. Hare told the audience that one of the best ways to achieve integration was to use a separatist approach. "Separatism has done more to bring about integration in three years than three decades of other tactics," he said. He told of a college newpaper that would not Cover news concerning blacks. But when blacks started ! their own paper, the college newspaper gave them full-page coverage. "But I don't recommend separatism as a policy. It should be used only as a strategy," he said. Blacks will continue to come up in the world, Hare said. "The sordid conditions under which we live mean that we must continue to seek some means by which to replace them." Nathan Hare. . ."A black studies course involves relevance on a community scale." Reagan's speech Continued from Page I That delegation, he said, means "Nebraska is to the nation what Orange County is to California." Reagan praised Nixon's record in desegregation, unemployment, welfare programs and his Vietnam peace initiatives. He called for Nebraskans to send Curtis back to Washington to help Nixon continue his programs. Curtis earlier expressed delight in the $100,000 raised at the banquet. The money is pledged to the senatorial campaign of the Republican nominee. He said he is seeking his fourth term in the Senate because he sees the United States on the "threshold of new hieghts."

Home ec board seeking direction The College of Home Economics advisory board is still looking for direction, according to its chairman, and the board will ask home economics students their priorities starting next week. Nancy Anderson said a booth has been set up in the Home Economics Building's basement to seek students' "opinions and attitudes about the college, classes and anything else on their minds." Shessaid the 10-member board will also ask for students' ideas on a possible co-advising system and a new honors program for the college. Both are proposals the all-student board is considering recommending to Virginia Trotter, dean of the college. Anderson said the board is beginning to concentrate on advising the home economics college on its curriculum. The advisory board is also looking at a co-advising system in which juniors and seniors would supplement the college staff in helping sophomores and freshmen decide which courses to take. The board is also looking at ways to strengthen the home economics honors program, Anderson said. The booth will operate from March 1 through March 10. It will be open from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays except Fridays, when it will be open only in the morning. Anderson said forms are available in 116 Home Economics Building for any home economics major wishing to apply for next year's advisory board.
