Blacks Renew Demands,
Rap Campus’ ‘Racism’
By PAT HUIE
Suggestions of violence to
come were advanced Thurs
day afternoon in front of
Memorial Hall at a rally held
by the Black Student Union
Several hundred students
stood listening as speakers,
mostly blacks, denounced
' racism" and declared the
day Free Huey Day' in honor
of jailed Black Panther leader
Huey P. Newton. Several
speakers accused the Un
iversity administration of
failing to act on black de
mands.
There's no more water, it’s
gonna be fire next time." said
a Negro who would not give
his name
"If the administration .
doesn't come round, were
going to tear it down." anoth
er speaker said.
The crowd, for the most
part, listened attentively;
there were occasional taunts
and laughter, occasional
shouts of agreement Some of
the speeches were heavily
punctuated with four-letter
words.
At one point a confederate
flag was displayed bv students
on the second floor of Memo
rial Hall.
A Negro introduced as
Mary Blackwell told students,
"You have had greater oppor
tunities bul you have done
nothing with them." The
crowd jeered when she said
the University is inferior to
many northern schools."
A speaker for the Students
for a Democratic Society
(SDSi read a statement ex
pressing total support for
black demands He said that
any attempt by the University
to compromise would be con
tinuation of a racist policy.
"The strategies of the past
have failed," he said, and
new strategies must emerge
Students were invited to
the microphone to ask ques
tions or make statements.
The first student to do so
said that football on campus
is “open to everybody," in
“GO!-FOR THE FURY,
FORCE AND FUN OF if_
A movie so brilliant, so special that
it's dangerous to wt ite about lf_
I'll be talking about if forever
“ANGRY, TOUGH AND FULL
OF STING!” u„
“WILL PROBABLY BE THE
BIGGEST MOVIE ON COLLEGE
CAMPUSES SINCE THE
GRADUATE’! "-wu**
“LET IT SUFFICE TO SAY THAT
ll-IS A MASTERPIECE,
reason enough to rank Anderson
among cinema's major artists."
“THE MOST INTERESTING
FILM SO FAR THIS YEAR...
A superb job... If_ is a brilliant
and disturbing film." „<xm
"IF YOU RE YOUNG, YOU’LL
REALLY DIG if_ If you're
not so young, it's more reason than
ever to go see what it's all about!"

response to an issue raised
earlier by some blacks
A student wearing an
ROTC uniform said. "I'll go
anywhere with anybody if he's
not getting his rights," but he
said he could not condone viol
ence
Following an exchange
about black pride, a white
student asserted that "pride
is more of a hindrance to you
than anything else "

Army veteran, said. Td rath

"When you let me buy a
home where I want to or go
where I want to, then I'll have
something to fight for.” he
said.
Several blacks said they
wanted a "meaningful educa
tion." When a white count
ered that the University had
provided meaningful educa
tion "all these years," a black
student answered that he
could not even study African
culture or the Negro influence
in America
A white student told of a
Negro friend he had known
overseas who "went to all of
our parties."
Keep your women and
keep your parties, a black
answered. “We want to have
our own fun."
"What we've got here is a
racist university," a mus-
tached white said He urged
students to make their wishes
known because "the Universi
ty administration has got to
listen to 18.000 people "
A black African student
spoke of black identity in Afri
ca. saying. We are proud of
ourselves "The blacks l in
America i are prepared to be
black themselves, and you
refuse to accept it," he said to
the crowd.

Professor Discusses Astrology
4 Moving into Aquarius,
Declares Dr.Nethercut
By DANNY BAKKR
R A B News Editor
"The Age of Aquarius is an
age of social awareness, of
invention of improvements.”
said Dr William R. Nether-
cut. "It is a time of seeking
the perfect society and con
cern with bettering conditions
that have existed for many
years
Dr Nethercut, a professor
of classical culture at the
University and a noted astrol
oger. spoke on "Out of the
Aquarium into the Aquarian
at a meeting of the Student
Education Association recent
ly
Following his remarks, he
spoke for a while on the signs
of the zodiac and astrology in
general
"Let me explain the signifi
cance of the title of my talk,
he said
“We have been in the Age
of Pisces, the fishes, for
about 2000 years, hence the
term aquarium' Although
some people in this eeountry
place the beginning of the Age
of Aquarius around 1909. I
tend to feel it began around
1810. the time of Karl Marx
and the Labor Reform Bills of
1882 and 1864 in England "
The Age of Pisces was
characterized by mutability,
spirituality, sensitivity and
emotion. Dr. Nethercut said
RELIGIOUS AGE
Pisces was a religious age.
he said, and produced many
ministers and clergy Aquar
ius is an age of invention, as
seen in Thomas Edison's
achievements and the adv
ances in travel and communi
cations, Dr. Nethercut said.
Citing a book he had read,
he said there may be frequen
cies higher than those now-
recognized According to the
book, he said, an experimen
ter connected a polygraph, or
lie detector, to a plant. The
polvgraph began to show signs
of a reaction.'' he continued
"Die experimenter decid
ed that the plant would react
if destruction was near, so he
poured hot coffee on the
leaves. There was no reach
tion.
REACTS TO FIRE
Then he placed a lighted
cigarette near the leaves
Once the fired neared the
plant, the polygraph showed a
vigorous reaction "
The experimenter also
connected two plants together
and the polygraph indicated
that the plants were com
municating with each other,
the book said
"This is quite possible”,
Dr Nethercut said We are
having to redefine space and
time but we haven't done that
completely yet, since the Age
of Aquarius has really gotten
started."
HEAVEN. HELL
The book the astrologer
cited also discussed the possi
bility of one universe, only
one heaven and one hell. The
laws might be parallel," Dr
Nethercut said "The laws
necessary to (unction here
could also apply there
Some people feel that
reincarnation sometimes oc
curs because people couldn't
cope with obstacles and could
not move easily in the oilier
world.’"
After his talk, the astrolo
ger talked with students and
read horoscopes for them for
more than two hours
There are 12 signs of the
zodiac, he said: Aries the
Ram. Taurus the Bull. Gemi
ni the Twins. Cancer the
Crab, Leo the Lion. Virgo the
Virgin, Libra the Balance.
Scorpio the Scorpion, Sagit
tarius the Archer. Capricorn
the Goat. Aquarius the Water
Bearer and Pisces the Fishes
"The ancients divided
these 12 signs into four
groups." Dr Nethercut con
tinued. "the earth, fire, water
and air."
The first group, the earth,
contains Aries. Leo and Sagit-
tarus, he said Basical char
acteristics of this group are
perseverance, tenacity and
fiery energy, "People in this
group also tend to be practi
cal." the professor continued,
"hence the term down to
earth.'"
"Those born under Aries
are usually active, ready to
get moving, while Leos tend
to be more fixed,” the astrol
oger said "Those born under
Sagittarius are often mutable
and indifferent."
Fire, the second group, is
composed of Capricorn. Tau
rus and Virgo. Dr Nethercut
said "Capricorns are usually
indomintable. many scholars
and politicians are Capri
corns
H H H UNDER TAURUS
"Taurus rules the throat,
he said "A lot of singers and
great speakers are born under
this sign In fact. Hubert
Humphrey is a Taurus " Peo
ple bom under this sign are
often stubborn and like to eat.
the astrologer continued
Geniuses and persons of
very high intelligence are of
ten bom under Virgo, he said
Many politicians and analys-
istx are Virgos; for example,
Avrill Harriman. who con
ducted the peace negotations
in Paris.
"People in the water group
tend to be moody, display
their emotions and actually
sweat more than other peo
ple, ' Dr Nethercut stated
Included in this group is
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces."

Specialized Research Results
By ELIZABETH RIGSBY
Filling the gap left by trade
publishers, the main function
of the University Press is to
publish the results of special
ized research and scholarship
for the benefit of other schol
ars and students
A second function is to pub
lish more scholarly works
itach >• ill appeal to the edu
cated layman
Miss Nancy Lewis, promo
tion manager, explained.
"Die books we publish don't
have a wide appeal but are of
scholarly value.”
Director Ralph H Stephens
added. Becua.se of their lim
ited appeal, the books we pub
lish might only sell 2000 cop
ies. The trade publishers are
in it to make money, but the
University Press is a non
profit enterprise "
Realizing the need for a
press to publish books that
represent a distinct contribu
tion to scholarship and learn
ing. the University Press was
incorporated in 1939 with Mrs
Maleom Bryan as director
The first book published
was “Segments of Southern
Thought by Ed Winfield
Parks in the fall of 1938 A
total of three were published
that year
Dr Frazier Moore of the
School of Journalism served
the next year as director until
1960 when Stephens took off
ice.

make bad enemies but good

"Many dancers are born

he said
The fourth group, air, has

Nethercut continued This
