British professor kicks off lecture series
British professor of history
Jeremy Black gave the first in a
series of three lectures in Foster
Auditorium on Monday as part of
the Second Annual Distinguished
Guest Lecture Series, sponsored
by the department of African and
African American studies.
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.
"We learn African history

this year's takeover was special

UPUA President Christian
Ragland said he was pleased with
the resolution.
"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

"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

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

tions."

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

might be best to have an off-cam

"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

gift revisions, Dahiana Tejada said
she was impressed with the 10

"I've seen what classes before us

"[Haynes] attended all meetings

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

Despite the damage that has

its efforts to control Africa, "It's

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

the future, and that the committee
is trying to select the choice that
is representative of the class of

"We're going for a gift that really

said.
Committee members said that
more details would be decided on

mittee and ARHS.
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."
