Concerned Students
Detain Trustees
To Press Issues
May 16-20 were tense days in the A.U. Center. The com
plex took on a new look with “M. L. King University Now”
and various revolutionary phrases painted hurriedly on side
walks, buildings, and doors. Spelman was right in the midst of
the action which saw Morehouse trustees and center officials
confronted by “Concerned Students” behind locked doors in
Harkness Hall for nearly 29 hours.
The instant revolution fostered by a small group of A.U.
Center students and two or three faculty members attempted
to force three issues to the bargaining table: 1. the renaming
of the A.U. Center Martin Luther King University, 2. the
consolidation of the six institutions by academic departments
or some other feasible means, and three, the securing of
majority black representation o nthe boards of trustees of
the Center. The issues themselves turned out to be the least
matter of concern as the Morehouse Board gave its momentary
consent to the proposals and the Morehouse student body
subsequently revoked them feeling the methods used were un
called for and that “Concerned Students” had no right to press
for them in the name of the student body.
Spelman Trustees adjourned their meeting and left after
having a luncheon to which some volunteer students attended.
Hence they avoided a heated confrontation.
The “Concerned Students” have grown in numbers and
become the “Organization for Black Unity Now.” They con
sider the ‘Harkness Hall incident’, as it is called, a success and
as they become more organized promise that the issues are
not dead.
