Show Editorial Seek Mew Ways The outbreak of violence starting with the assasination of Dr. Martin Luther King, jr. has brought home to many the feeling of frustration and inadequacy. The need for a positive step was felt by many on our campus. cam-pus. The result has been one that the Chronicle Chron-icle can readily endorse. The law school has adopted a three pronged program. Included in their planned plan-ned actions are a tutorial program for students stu-dents in the ghetto, a complaint board open for information about discrimination and a committee to locate pertinent information on possible scholarship opportunities for Negroes Ne-groes interested in entering the law school. A second organization was formed within 24 hours by several campus clubs called, the "Student Education Endowment for King" or Seek. The purpose of this group was to raise funds to enable a student from a minority min-ority group to continue their education at the University in the social sciences. The name comes into play with their hope to seek out individuals who though able to qualify for college can't afford to attend. Both these programs need help. The feelings of inadequacy and frustration can persist if positive steps like the above fail. The Chronicle encourages support for these programs and urges other campus groups and individuals to get off the sidelines and take a big step forward. It is a time for action to speak louder than words. |
