SuJ meeting aims to unite black students
By Lorl Paulsen
"ho struggle ... no progesa" b the theme for the
seventh annual Big Eight Conference on Black Stu
dent Government at Oklahoma State University
The theme signifies blacks' struggle to get backto
the basics, Renee Jones, an Oklahoma State senior
and chairwoman of the conference said. Jones said
the conference will be geared toward uniting blacks
In order to solve their problems.
The conference is designed to provide black stu
dents of the Big Eight Conference schools and
smaller schools within the conference's six states to
meet and discuss common problems and concerns
they encounter on their campuses, Jones said.
About COO students attended the 1G83 confer
ence, which Nebraska hosted.
The Big Eight council will hold its first meeting of
1984 during the conference. One main issue the
council will discuss will be federal budget cuts in
minority projects, Jones said. Jones said the cuts
caused adjustments with the original $24,344 con
ference budget.
Howard Shipp, coordinator cf minority services
at OSU, said the student registration fee of $30 for
the conference covers only CO percent of the cost.
Shipp said several colleges at OSU and local banks,
savings and loans institutions, oil companies, hotels
and other local businesses have helped pay the
remaining cost
Another issue the council may discuss is black
political apathy, Cynthia Gooch of UNL said. Gooch
i3 the vice-chairwoman for the council. She said the
council will discuss ways of encouraging blacks to
vote in the upcoming presidential election. The
council may also discuss the possibility of endorsing
Jesse Jackson as the Democratic presidential candi
date. Martin Luther King III i3 the keynote speaker of
the conference. King will speak at 7 p.m. Feb. 11 at
he awards dinner. .
The conference will also feature workshops on
such subjects as the Black Greek System, Black Pro
fessional Women, Black Male-Female Belationships
and Black Employment.
Another conference highlight will be the second
annual Mr: and Miss Black Big Eight pageant. The
contestants will be judged on talent, a question-and-answer
interview and appearance. The pageant will
follow King's speech.
Regents
Continued from Pca 1
LR223, a constitutional
amendment proposing a
board of higher education
to replace the regents and
the State College Board,
was also discussed.
Sponsor Howard Peter
son of Grand Island said
one board could consider
statewide needs better
and use comprehensive
planning to meet those
needs.
No student members
would be on this board,
Peterson said, although
an advisory board with
students might be added
later.
Deb Chapelle, Nebraska
State Student Association
executive director, said
she is concerned with eli
mination of students from
the board.
"Input (from students)
should be enhanced, and
certainly not eliminated "
she said.
Th e regents have passed
resolution opposing both
legislative resolutions.
