S Black educator Dr. Charles Hurst spoke to a Hoey Auditorium audience last light. (Staff pnota by james Carter) Dr. Hurst Jr. Presents Black Week Lecture By WARREN Black was definitely the theme for last night's Black Week lecture presentation by former President of Malcolm X College, Dr. Charles Hurst Jr. Again and again he stressed the point that it is up to the young black people of America to become "the world builders" of tomorrow, In an enlightening talk that lasted for almost two hours, Black Week Events The Organization of Ebony- Students, formerly the Black Students United for Liberation, is sponsoring a series of e- vents observing Black Week. The theme of the 1973 Black Week is "Why Can't We Live Together 7" Dr. Raleigh Bymim, a prom- ient optometrist,- will speak in the Cherokee Room at 8:30 pm tonight. Other highlights of the week include afilmstrip"Black Roots" Wednesday nightat 6pm in the Cherokee Room, a black fashion show and talent show in the Grandroom Thursday at 7pm and a film "Fack Johnson" Thursday night at 9:30 in the Cherokee room. The week's activities will culminate with a dance in the Grandroom Saturday night featuring the Fungus Blues, During intermission, the new Queen will be introduced. WILKES Hurst discussed the many relevancies of being black aid also the many irrelevancies, Hurst was a professor at Harvard University before taking the post as president of Crane College, now Malcolm X College, There is a "lack of communication about racism in our society," Hurst said in talking about the subject of racism, "The fact is .„ this is a divided nation," he stated, and every person should be directed toward the elimination of racism. There should be "freedom and dignity for all people," he declared, The main reason for racism is "the inability of black and white people to communicate," he noted, There is definitely a "lack of real success ... in the U.S, in race relations," Hurst added. Black people should preoccupy themselves with theali- enations- they have from each other, Hurst warned, "We are taught to be divided among ourselves," he noted, but the real objective should be for "black people coming together in some sense of unity," Speaking on violence, Hurst said that he doesn't believe in it "to the point of self-defeat," He went on to say that this "is a violent society" and brought out the fact that America is a country that has always been at war. He added that "there is a moral vio~ lence that can be coupled with intellectual violence," which is often more subtle and very often much more effective. Hurst emphasized that there CONTLNUED Page 1 . .. • New Dean Election Raises Dispute An open dispute broke out Thursday between Dr. J. Stuart Wilson, WCU vice chancellor for academic affairs, and faculty members of the School of Arts and Sciences over the process to be followed in picking committee members for the selection of a new Arts and Sciences dean, The faculty had drafted a plan earlier at Wilson's request that provided for a 10-man committee to be elected by the faculty, Wilson responded more than two weeks later that "he would appoint five members while six would be elected, Appealing for intervention by WCU Chancellor Jack Carlton, the faculty adopted 97 to 3 a resolution stating: "This faculty finds Dr. Wilson's decision in the matters of the selection committee unacceptable, "We request your (Carlton's) intervention to resolve the e- lected nature of the committee as previously proposed by the faculty of the school." Carlton received a copy of the resolution Friday from Dr. Clifford Lovin, assistant dean of arts and sciences. Lovin left Carlton's office with the impression that no action would be taken in response to the facutly's complaint. Carlton was unavailable for comment last night. Meanwhile, at least a dozen names have been added to the petition stating that "Dr. Carlton cannot administer this university," and Carlton's "philosophy of administration and its application are incompatible with the traditions and welfare of this university." This brings the total number to 77 tenured faculty signatures,andapproxi- mately 80 untenured faculty signatures, A faculty spokesman said the new signatures were "unsolicited," The source went on to say the names were those of people who "had not realized what was going on before." On Feb, 23 Dr, William C. Friday, president of the UNC system, wrote that in resolving the problems at WCU, Carlton and his colleagues must exercize "the utmost in goodwill, reasonableness and careful deliberation," Dr, Marilyn Jody, WCU English professor and vice chairman of the Faculty Assembly of the University of North Carolina said Dr. Wilson's actions "did not reflect the spirit of goodwill and reasonableness asked for in PresidentFriday's letter." Friday also said in his letter that if efforts here to resolve camiiis problems are not sucessful then, "I shall bepre- pared to institute formal inquiries" to identify the source . of trouble. It was not known last night if any action was planned by Friday. Proposing to give the administration a chance for compromise and to act in accord with file spirit of the Friday letter, the faculty in its Thursday meeting decided against a resolution stating that Wilson had "rejected outright both the principle and the specific content of our recommendations." The resolution would have put the faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences on recordas completely withdrawing itself from any participation whatsoever in your (Wilson's) selection of a Dean of this School." The considered resolution also said the faculty would record in advance its "total and unalterable lack of confidence in the results of any such committee" appointed by Wilson or Carlton. The first collision with Wilson came March 16 when he issued a rejection of the faculty's March 1 proposal that called for the teachers to elect the 10 members of a committee to select the new dean. Wilson replied that the school could elect six members, but he would appoint five, including two students and a fac - ulty member outside the School. This action prompted some members of the school to insist that Wilson was trying to "stack" the committee for his own purposes. Others insisted that Wilson waited two weeks to respond in order for Dr. A. K. King, a UNC official here to settle faculty complaints against the administration , to return to Chapel Hill. One faculty member termed Wilson's action a* "another CONTINUED Pago 2 . , , , Senate Business Resolutions WCU student veterans may receive ten quarter hours credit toward graduation if a resolution adopted by the Senate Monday night is approved by the administration, The credit hours will be used to meet Health, P.E, and orientation requirements. The resolution, sponsored by Senator Harold Rogers, also recommends retroactive credit for veterans currently enrolled at WCU. Until September, 1971, the University gave veterans 12 credit hours for training received while in the military. When the old policy was terminated, many veterans were not informed. A resolution sponsored by Senator Dwight Sparks to establish changes in residence hall structure was referred for the second time to an ad-hoc committee of the Student Senate for further study, Other Senate business in - eluded the approval of a proposal to have post office boxes in the residence halls, and the approval of the constitutions of the Outing Club and YARC,
