Black's lecture, which focused on the relations between Africa and the western world, gave audi ence members insight into the hardships Africa faces today due to foreign involvement and influence throughout Africa's history. The idea that African history has been almost completely told from a European perspective rather than an African one and its impact on the continent was one of Black's points that really resonated with some students who attended the lecture.

"Overall, I think this captures exactly what we were looking for," Ragland (senior-political science) said. "In the past couple weeks, there has been a lot of energy from students [about having a student representative], and I know over the summer there was some con cern if there would be." During the work session, council members also discussed their own concerns about the resolution. "The way this is written you could take a first-semester fresh man to serve," council member Tom Daubert said. "I really think it should say a student should be in residence for at least a year." Ragland said he had similar con- Gift From Page 1 "The size, scope and scale of the gift would really depend on how much we raise," said committee member Geoff Halberstadt (senior political science and history). Halberstadt said the gifts varied in sizes and costs, but that the min imum goal of donations was approximately 120,000 dollars. "Some years though, we get above and beyond," he said. "Last year we raised 236,000 dollars." Students asked questions about each gift idea, and many commit tee members were met with criti cism upon answering. Concerns were voiced about the Movin' On From Page 1 split, he said. The committee will contain liaisons from the five organizations that will put on the festival: UPUA, the Graduate School Association, the Student Programming Association, The Lion 90.7 FM and ARHS. Haynes said he didn't want Movin' On to seem like it pulled more weight in the committee because of its previous affiliation to ARHS. "We just talked about it. It seems unfair for one organization to have that it makes them seem more significant," Haynes said. "By splitting off and becoming our own, it makes it that agency between us and other organiza tions." Mike Stefanick, ARHS liaison to outside nations," said Andrew Goga. "I would like to see Africa as Africa not as a series of European colonies." Goga (junior-community envi ronment and development) said he attended the lecture because he hopes to become more knowledge able about Africa before studying abroad in South Africa next semes ter. But Goga said he also found the concept that Africa's history has been by shaped by the western world to be particular interesting. As a student in the department of African and African American studies, Kylee DiGregorio said she tries to attend all of the presenta tions that the department offers, but she has a particular interest in history and the Western Eurocentric perspective. "Although the African voice is muted presently in their history, I'm anxious to see whether they will find their voice to write their own future," said DiGregorio (jun- President for Student Affairs kind of violence among our stu- Damon Sims said.

"We don't want to put someone in the position who doesn't have the knowledge or passion," he said. Council member Peter Morris expressed some concerns about the "symbolic significance" in the resolution, since the student repre sentative would sit at the staff table instead of the council member table. Ragland said he thought the positioning of the student was not as important as actually having a student representative. Morris also said he was hesitant about section nine of the resolution a portion that describes the responsibilities of the representa tive because "it is tougher on the student representative than the borough charter is [on mem bers]." The only change in regards to the student representative position that will be made before council practicality of gifts, their logistics, and the financial stamina of schol arship and endowment proposals. Halberstadt said the questions and critiques were more than wel come for the sake of making sure the best gifts were selected. "We like the challenge," he said. Although she proposed several gift revisions, Dahiana Tejada said she was impressed with the 10 choices. (senior-geography and latin american studies). "I've seen what classes before us have done, and their gifts have been really impressive," she said "Nobody wants to be the class with the horrible gift, I just want to get this right." Halberstadt said the committee is trying to avoid choosing a gift Movin' On, said he agreed it was a good move. "[Haynes] attended all meetings and everyone loved him," Stefanick (senior-hotel, restaurant and insti tutional management) said. "There are no hard feelings and it's some thing that we're all very much in favor of." Even when the two groups col laborated, their operations remained fairly separate, Haynes said. A Movin' On chairperson sat on the ARHS council, but planned the concert independently. The Movin' On chairperson picked directors and committee members with ARHS acting mostly as a par ent organization, Haynes said. While ARHS will still have a say in the planning of the larger festi val through its liaison, it will not function hand-in-hand with Movin' On, Haynes said.

Despite the damage that has been done by the Western world in its efforts to control Africa, "It's interesting that we're still trying to `help' them but in a way that's ben eficial to the West economically," she said. At the end of the lecture, Black gave audience members the oppor tunity to ask questions themselves or express their own opinions. Black said he was excited to be at a "major educational center" like Penn State and believed the lecture went as well as it did because of the valuable questions that audience members asked. He said he was also very excited to see "the interdisciplinary possi bilities that African studies offers." Black's lecture series continues today in the Foster Auditorium at 4:30 and will cover war and insta bility in the 21st century.

"There have been few issues in the past where it would have been appropriate for a non-voting mem ber to be present," borough man ager Tom Fountaine said. Though council moved forward with the proposition for a student representative, members decided that the formation of a 15-member student advisory board needed to be taken into further consideration between Fountaine, UPUA mem bers and Off Campus Student Union members.

Committee members said that more details would be decided on at the meeting Tuesday when the Office of Physical Plant can pro vide logistical information. A thorough description of each gift including specifics like loca tion and funds of the top three choices will be presented to the senior class to vote on at the end of the month.

Joshua Kneal, who once served as ARHS Movin' On chairman, said the split from ARHS is a good move. "That way, they all can work together and make the better of all of them," Kneal, Class of 2010, said. "That way it's all directed to one [concert] and hopefully everyone can get something from it." But Haynes and Kneal both said ARHS involvement was always valuable. "For a long time they were that parent organization and very supportive of Movin' On and always played a big part in getting donations and doing volunteer work," Haynes said. "They were always there overseeing and there to help." To e-mail reporter. lbcl46lpsu.sdu
