Records show that particular
academic departments in some
colleges in the Center, have used
funds from departmental grants
to generate reading materials for
their students, through the
Woodfuff Library.
Dr. Ganz of Spelman College,
has given funds to the library to
purchase materials on World
Civilization.” Dr. Dean of Morris
Brown College, made similar
contributions for their nursing
program. The John Holland
Foundation gave ITC $10,000,
most of which was given to
Woodruff Library to purchase
theology materials. "This is the
kind of team effort we like,” said
Hunter, "it seems like it would
really work.”
“Resources have to support all
academic levels, grad and un
dergrad,” stated Dr. Robison of
Georgia State, "everything must
be apt for research methods.”
Along with its eagerness to win
the support of the AUC student
body, the Woodruff Library
administration will try to obtain
the academic resources that will
support academic standards and
strenghten the image of its
remarkable $18 million struc
ture.
POWER
Continued from page 10
In the long run, the only
realistic means to reduce and
ultimately eliminate unemploy
ment and poverty in the Black
community is a strategy which
directly targets the government,
not the private sector. Only
through massive federal jobs
programs, the strict enforcement
of affirmative action, housing
and human service programs,
can the vast majority of Black
people actually obtain some
measure of economic equality.
Although collective private-
sector oriented networks such as
POWER should be supported
critically, they cannot resolve the
massive problems of the Black
poor. Black capitalism, as such,
remains more a safety valve for
economic discontent, than a
long-term strategy of group ad
vancement.

Boycotts
Continued from page 1
Winn-Dixie has less than 80 black
managers and does limited if
any, business with black
businesses and professionals.”
Lowery went on to say that
Winn-Dixie has had hundreds of
racial discrimination complaints
against them and are recognized
as being anti-labor. He referred
to their policies as “lingering
stench from the Old South.”
Lowery also said that this
boycott should be looked at as a
way for the black community to
initiate help for itself by requir
ing a fair return on the $2.6
billion that it puts into Winn-
Dixie each year.
Sisterhood

volleyball team and we should
support them as much as possi
ble. When spreakers are invited
to come, we should go and listen
to what is being said. The topic to
be discussed might not tickly our
fancy, but it is amazing what you
can learn from someone who has
experienced more than you.
Sisters, we must learn to love
and respect one another as well
as ourselves. We cannot allow
idle gossip, petty thoughts, and
misunderstanding to block our
path. If this happens, we might
lose out on the friendship we
wish we had. If you feel as
though there are no examples to
follow, I know the best one ...
Jesus.

to the Spelman student body,
that invitation should be extend
ed by those who have planned
the activities and have the best
knowledge. Because other
organizations at Morehouse
College as well as at Spelman
College will be making plans
during the same time frame,
there should be some type of
request through meeting or
memo for support by the
organizing body well before the
occasion.
Although the Spelman Stu
dent Government Association is
proud to have a strong bond with
the Morehouse StudentGovern-
ment Association, this does not
allow us to speak on your behalf
without perfect knowledge of
the activity schedule planned. As
was discussed during Freshman
Week, when planning joint
activities we would distinguish
just who would be responsible
for what. In order to act in
everyone’s best interest, it is
imperative that information be
exchanged in a manner that is
conducive to all who are in
volved. With this in mind, I
would appreciate it if we could
have a meeting with the
presidents and vice-presidents
to clear up any and all mis
understandings and put our
minds all on one accord. If
everyone continues to be con
siderate of all involved, I am sure
our endeavors will continue to
be a success.
We will be more than happy to
continue to support your efforts.
If you need our assistance or if
you have any concerns, feel free
to contact us at 524-4757 at the
Spelman Student Government
Association Office located in the
Lower Concourse of Manley
College Center.
Sincerely,
Dawn M. Williams, President
Spelman Student Gov. Assoc.
Have You Heard...
The Spelman Women’s Action
Coalition, (S.W.A.C.), has been
working diligently to improve
student life here at Spelman.
Through S.W.A.C., special meals
have been planned for each
month. In addition, the popcorn
and ice-cream sundaes that we
have had this year are a result of
their concerted efforts with the
administration. For the
remainder of the school year,
S.W.A.C. will be working to
improve health care,
student/faculty relations, securi
ty and many other areas.
S.W.A.C. will also be sponsoring
a clothing drive for needy
families during the holiday
season. All students are en
couraged to become a part of
S.W.A.C. and join in helping to
enrich the Spelman experience.
S.W.A.C. meets every Monday at
5PM in the SSGA office.
HAVE YOU HEARD ... that
Carol Lawrence, a 1985 graduate
recently visited Spelman with the
Fisk Volleyball team. Carol is
assistant coach under Harriet
Hamilton head coach. Her
specialty is blocking and spiking.
When asked what she missed
about Spelman volleyball, she
said, “What I miss primarily is not
being able to wear the new
uniforms. But I think it’s great,”
she said with a smile. She also
showed remorse of not being
able to see her "old team mates.”
Carol is presently working at
the Vanderbilt Plaza Hotel in
Nashville.
The BLACK REPUBLICAN of
FULTON COUNTY would like to
go on public record by stating:
—That We are appalled and
outraged by the practice of
apartheid in South Africa.
—That We are in protest to the
continued violence and
deplorable conditions under
which 24 million black Africans
are suffering.
—That We are diametrically
opposed to President Reagan’s
constructive and active engage
ment approaches to this dire
situation in South Africa.
—And, that We stand ready to
join hands and minds with the
national body of the BLACK
REPUBLICANS to propose
resolutions to this system that
threaten the very core of our free
society.
—If the words of Patrick Henry
symbolized the American
struggle for individual con
stitutional freedoms when he
cried out, "Give me liberty or
Give me death," then the spirit
of the South Africans struggle
can be epitomized in the words
of Steve Tshwete, an anti
apartheid activist, who stated,
"We are going to burn this whole
county. We will destroy
everything here and on the ashes
of apartheid a new society will
emerge.
