supremacy which advocates elimination
of the black race.
The U.S. Public Health
Service, from 1932-1972, did an
experiment with a group of 40 black
men, Welsing said. These men had the
sexually transmitted disease syphillus.
According to Welsing, these men were
told that they were being cured, but in
reality they were not being cured.
Instead, they were being allowed to go
on with the disease to try to [destroy] the
black race, she said.
Also, the disease AIDS was
"developed in a lab and white
homosexuals were infected because they
are expendable," Welsing said.
Mysteriously, Vervet Monkey disease,
as described in a book on Chemical
Warfare in 1969, consists of the same
symptoms as AIDS, according to
Welsing.
Another study in which Dr.
Welsing cited was with four groups of
teachers and four groups of students.
Each group of teachers was assigned a
group of students.
The groups of students
consisted of two groups of black
students and two groups of white
students. Within each group existed
high achieving and low achieving
students.

The results of the study showed
that the group of students that recieved
the highest attention from the teachers
was the high achieving white students.
The group of high achieving black
students recieved negative attention.
Welsing said that blacks with high IQs
are feared.
Blacks, according to Welsing,
have been the subject of criticism by
whites as being genetically inferior. The
inferiority lies not in blacks but in
whites, she said. Welsing said that the
reason there is a skin color difference in
whites and blacks is because whites have
a "genetic defiency in producing melonin
[the skin pigment prevalent in
blacks]."
Whites try to accomodate for
the defiency by tanning, according to
Welsing.
Welsing said that people must
be " willing to understand the world that
they live in." She posed a challenge to
whites, to "respect the fact that they are
a minority on the planet." Welsing says
that whites should feel positive about
themselves and realize that black people
are the mothers and fathers of everybody.
Welsing said that to this day
no one has challenged her theory. She
intends to come out with a book entitled
the
One Version of What
Happened at U. Park
by Bernie Mixon
It was reminiscent of the
19605. In that decade, there were
marches, protests and yes, even sit-ins,
all held to fight for a common cause--
civil rights. Rights which are
guaranteed to all American citizens under
the Constitutimi.
History repeated itself at
University Park recently. A sit-in was
held in the Telecommunications
Building April 8, 1988. Students were
arrested and consequently, the university
was thrown into the center of the
American eye.
But why did this occur? What
were the events that led up to the sit-in?
The story does not begin April
8; the students were, according to the
Rev. Cecil Gray, United Black
Fellowship Church, "preparing for the
opportunity to meet with the
administration as early as November of
1987."
On Tuesday, April 5, a rally
took place at 10 a.m. at Old Main, the
building which houses many
administrative offices including
University President Bryce Jordan's
office.
Orlty 25 students showed up,
according to Gray and the rally was
cancelled. The students then decided to
go and meet with Jordan. When the
students arrived at Jordan's office they
were told that he was not available.
This is when the first sit-in that
most people are not aware of took place.
This sit-in, said Gray, was spontaneous
and took place right outside of Jordan's
office. During the sit-in, the students
were very courteous, did school work,
conducted a bible study and had a prayer,
Gray said.

Express Concerns
By Levette Parish
In the Humanities Open Forum
held Monday, April 11, several issues
concerning humanities students were
discussed.
The plus-minus grading system
was a topic that added spice to the
afternoon--several of the humanities
participants expressed their concerns on
how the system has been utilized.
However, Dr. William Mahar,
huminites division head, said, "There's
no choice whether to use the plus-minus
grading system, it must be utilized at all
times."
Nevertheless, many participants
Authorities were there in the
form of security gaurds, Penn State
police, town police and administrators.
Students were subsequently arrested,
according to Gray. Of those students
arrested was Undergraduate Student
Government President Seth Williams,
who was dragged out and arrested when
he would not agree to leave when
instructed, Gray pointed out.
After this, a meeting was
scheduled for Friday, April 8 at 2:00 in
the Robeson Cultural Center. Gray said
that the administration had indicated that
they "wanted a clandestine meeting but
the students refused unless it took place
in Jordan's conference room."
The administrators did not show
up.
According to the April 13
edition of the Collegian , the meeting
was cancelled because of a disagreement
as to whether the meeting was to be
closed. The students then , according to
Gray, "walked up to the
Telecommunications Building in a
peaceful manner with their arms linked."
When asked why the students
occupied the Telecommunications
Building, Gray, in an interview with the
Collegian April 13, stated that this
building is the nerve center.
Throughout the whole ordeal,
the students were " not disruptive," Gray
said. Fatigue became a factor in what
Gray called "a battle of wills and
bodies."
Then, between 5 a.m. and 7
a.m., the police entered the
Telecommunications Building suited in
what Gray described as "riot gear."
A negotiating session, which
was scheduled for April 18 at 10:00
a.m., was the main demand of the
students.
manifested their strong disapproval of
the grading system in spite of what
Mahar said. Mahar assured the students
that he will follow-up on the utilization
of the plus-minus grading system.
The reorganization of the
humanities and behavioral
science/education divisions was another
topic discussed. Mahar reassured the
students by saying, "The reorganization
should have no effect on students who
are here now."
As a result of the open forum,
many controversial topics were brought
to the attention of Mahar in hopes that
they will be corrected
