The academic year 1979-1980 was a very busy year for Organization of Ebony Students (O.E.S.). It was a year of striving to better life for the students at WCU while trying to educate the WCU community on the black culture. It is impossible to mention all of the activities and efforts that took place. It can best be summed by saying, it was a year of success and failure. Success came from programing such as Black Parents Weekend, Black Awareness Week, O.E.S. Choir, Weekend of Adventure, O.E.S. Pageant, and sending delegates to conferences and the reviving of the Literary Magazine, Neo-Blackness. Failure stems from the inability to convince Student Government Association (S.G.A.) and the School to provide O.E.S. with adaquate appropriations, the inability to receive adequate programing on WWCU (WCU's radio station), the inability to convince the Catamount staff that minority students need more than 234 pages of coverage in the annual, and the inability to convince Last Minute Productions that minority students also need entertainment and social events. If the insensitivity to the needs of students by the mentioned administrations were put into figures, it would total approximately $125,000 or more. All the failures of O.E.S. cannot be related to other administrations; the blame for failing to unite all minority students would fall on O.E.S. and on all minority students. The year 1979-1980 was a growing year for O.E.S. and myself. It is my wish that O.E.S. will use the things that it succeeded in and work to make its failures of the past a success in the future. Thanks should be given to all the students who took part in making their organization stronger. Special thanks should go to Micheal A. Davis, Bendetra Wilson and their staff for making Neo-Blackness a success of today and the future. Thanks, Winston Bagley for encouragement, leadership, and friendship. Last of all, thanks , Teresa Blackwell, for care, encouragement, and the special things you bring to life. Most of all, thank you God. O.E.S. President 1979-1980 Alton (Ale) Richardson

This 1980, 32-page book of poems titled Neo-Blackness was published by the Organization of Ebony Students. Named in 1973, the Organization of Ebony Students was originally the Black Students United for Liberation which was founded in 1968 to promote unity among African American students. The organization is now called the Black Student Union and continues to promote the interests of WCU’s African American student body through cultural and educational activities and is open to all cultures.
