Edwards (Continued from page 1) and that the only result of the situa tion is the gradual elimination ol op portunities blacks, have of landing decision-making roles in society. “The result of this situation in both sport and society has been the establishment of w hat is, in ef fect, a plantation svstem of occupational ar rangements, with whites command ing a virtual monopoly of power and decision-making roles,” he said. He said a good example of this is that even blacks are beginning to ac cept their roles in society. “Institutionalized racism has been so careless and rampant that mam in both black and white society, with out any consciousness of being af flicted with the disease, have come to believe that blacks are better suited for some occupational roles and less suited for others,” he said. Edwards predicted that within 10 years the majority of collegiate and professional sports will be domi nated by blacks. “Within the next seven to 10 years, basketball on most of the col-! legiate and athletic levels will be all black for all practical purposes,” he said. “Football will be precisely where basketball is now — 70 per cent to 80 percent black, and base ball will be made up of a majority of minorities, because it is the black un derclass that is producing the gladia tors.” Edwards called for society to stand up and take action against ra cial discrimination in sports and else where, because if it is not done now, future generations will find it harder to survive. “The challenges in sports facing us today are like those facing us in society,” he said. “The only question for those on all sides of the racial is sue in sports and society is if they have the courage, the wisdom and the will to meet the challenges that confront us. “Otherwise, our subsequent gen erations will have to fight battles that we should have fought and won, rather than moving ahead to meet the challenges spawned both within and beyond the sports arena by the dynamics of their own historical her- itage.” McCloud (Continued from page 11 cause it’s not necessarily where we are, but where we’re willing to go,” she said. “It’s not what you have, but what you’re willing to do with what you have.” McCloud said it is imperative that society learn to balance its morals with its desire to excel, because today society is led to believe that being un ethical sometimes helps you achieve what you want. “The balance must come between excellence and ethics,” she said. “The ethical choice, may entail per sonal cost, and the wrong alternative may have a higher price tag. There’s an ethical dilemma in America, where wrong is masqueraded as right, and the press has made us be lieve that is the way it should be.” McCloud predicted that unless things change, a college education will mean little in the near future. “Only five percent of the jobs (in the year 2000) will require a college degree,” she said. “The other day I was listening to a full-time worker and he said, ‘My brother has a Ph.D., my sister has an M.A., and my father has a B.A., but I’m the only one who has a J.O.B.’” She stressed the need for people to reach out and break any preju dices they have against others, and said racism is one of the most dan gerous diseases known to man. “We have guided missiles and mis guided men and women,” McCloud saifi. “We’re willing to go across this world and defend this nation but we won’t go across the street to speak to each other. “Racism has lifted its ugly head on college and university campuses. You say racism may not be on your campus. I say racism is like rain —it’s either falling or it’s somewhere gath ering, and anywhere south of Can ada, there’s a problem in America.” She said the day students realize they are the ones who will be the leaders of tomorrow, is the day rac ism begins to diminish, because stu dents today know the damage racism can do. “Monday is coming,” McCloud said. “It is the discovery of self, awareness and cultural awareness. You have a responsibility to know that the competitive edge depends upon you. Monday comes for you to become those leaders who will be come decision-makers.” She stressed the need for students to rise up and take the problem of racism in hand. Ideas, she said, are the true path to power, and students are more than capable of creating new ideas. “Remain those who are willing to lecture not only by example, but to set an example,” McCloud said. “Be those who are willing to say what you mean and mean what you say. Ev eryone knows that an idea can take you to the top faster than anything else, but if you wait for an idea al ready to be accepted, it’s too late.” Fraternity (Continued from page 3) Parks said. “I think that will help me handle what people might say. I think it’s evident we have a problem with racism. I hope we can break down this wall we have at A&M.” Thomas doesn't agree with a white student’s attempting to reacti vate a chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha. “That’s like someone who’s not Jewish trying to start up a Jewish chapter,” he said. “That’s wrong.” Fraternities may become a little less segregated in the future, but there may never be an equal number of blacks and whites, Thomas said. “Maybe as society becomes a little less segregated, then fraternities might be a little less segregated,” he said. Eric Jefferson, president of the A&M chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, a traditionally black fraternity, also be lieves society has an influence on the segregation of fraternities. “There has always been that un dertone of segregation,” he said. Kappa Alpha Psi has two Hispanic members in the A&M chapter. “It’s an open idea,” Jefferson said. “Some of our most active brothers are the Hispanic brothers.” Jefferson agrees with Duncan that a major difference in the historically black and historically white Greek organizations is the emphasis placed on service projects. “When we’re looking at pledges, we look for a willingness to partici pate in service activities,” Jefferson said. “It’s a big part of our fraternity and sorority life.” Kappa Alpha Psi also looks for young men who can mold together and create what they call brother hood — a feeling of depending on one another. Jefferson said that nei ther his fraternity nor Alpha Phi Al pha ever have had restrictions in their constitutions allowing only black members. “I have mixed feelings about what Burney is doing in New Mexico,” he said. “Alpha Phi Alpha stands for a lot of good things. If he sees that in the fraternity then I see no problem with the reactivation.” Charles Goodman, Interfraternity Council adviser at A&M said, “I hope what Burney is doing suc ceeds.” Goodman said he has noticed a large percentage of interracial relationships at A&M, particularly with the Hispanic community, which may influence A&M’s Greek system. “I think the historically white Greek organizations need to do a better job of going out and recruit ing those kinds of people,” he said. “I certainly believe in Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream and would love to see the Greeks united in races.” SPRING BREAK BS SOUTH PADRE ISLAND SHEHA TON/HOUDA Y INN/GULF VIEW S OH 7 NIGHTS trJl49 STEAMBOAT SHADOW HUN/0VEHL00K SORT NIGHTS iroJ213 DAYTONA BEACH TEXAN HOTEL 7 NIGHTS from $ 118 MUSTANG ISLAND PORT ROYAL CONDOS 5 OR 7 NIGHTS fuJl36 HILTON HEAD ISLAND HIL TON HEAD BEACH RESORT frJlOY 7 NIGHTS DON'T WAIT TIL IT'S TOO LATE!
