The 1C3 1 Bl,? Ei;;ht Conference on Black Student
Government will help UNL's African Peoples' Union
to be active in covernment groups, said Cynthia
Gooch, finrcr CGcttV crruin of the Eight
Council
Gooch said that without this conference, people
probably would form a statewide conference. The
conference ia a cycb and it will function until the
problems on predominantly white campuses are
resolved, she sdd.
The conference will help UNL learn strategies for
fighting apathy and ideas about programming, said
Elizabeth Burden, president of the Afrikan Peoples'
Union.
Seven to 10 percent of the UNL students who
went to the conference were active members of
APU, Burden said.
The purpose of the conference was to discuss
problems that blacks face on predominantly white
campuses, said APU Vice President Carla Johnson
Kimbrough. It also served as a support system for
one another, Kimbrough said.
"The conference was a good experience for me to
be around the 'cream of the crop,' meaning very
intelligent and talented women," she said.
In the future, she said, blacks need a stronger
system of communication and more lobbying on
predominantly white campuses to recognize the
needs of black students academically and socially.
Kim Mc Arthur, an NU Medical Center student and
former UNL student, said the conference helped
him realize he is not the only student who had to
cope with problems on predominantly white camp
uses. Sherry Walker, a UNL sophomore, said the con
ference gave her new views on black pride.
"In the future, I hope to see more workshops on
voting rights and privileges and more discussion in
individual institutions on voting issues," she said.
Renee Jones, coordinator of the conference, said
the way the conference was conducted, the partici
pants and the dedication of Oklahoma State Uni
versity students and faculty made the conference a
success.
