Membership to these committees is by appointment of the
Student Association. Every committee is open for students
to join. Past history has shown that most of these com­
mittees upon which students vote, have been instrumental
in bringing about academic reform at U. B. Without stu­
dent involvement in the very decisions that effect their
lives here at the University, no meaningful change can
develop.

Let me, the Minority Student Affairs Coordinator, be
among the first to welcome you to Buffalo. Perhaps in look­
ing around the campus you will find that we are a very small
minority. I beg of you, don't let that throw you. In recent
years, we have made our position on education very clear and
very loud. We have become aware of our needs and are doing
something about them. Your presence here is proof of that,
and the increase in our number each year is significant.
Again, I beg you. Do not enter SUNY at Buffalo feel­
ing as if our small number puts us at a disadvantage. We are
an intelligent, and eager-for-education people, slowly becom­
ing aware of our heritage, our culture - a proud heritage,
a proud culture.
We must set an example, light a torch in the wilderness
at Black progress in America. In so doing, we help to secure
34.

Black progress on a world-wide basis. Show our younger
brothers that no matter how out-numbered we are, we are
eager to learn, eager to set an example that they will strive
to imitate, better than that, surpass.
So hang tough, Sisters and Brothers, the road toward
your degree is not an easy one, but one that I am sure we will
all travel proudly , true to our strong and noble forefathers
who have fought for equality , more , supremacy , since the
beginning of the Black man's arrival in America . There is so
much more to gain, though the way be tough, in graduating
(with honors) than in quitting. The quitter loses all.
A Black Student! I
