Without an idea who he is or how he came to be, he is left not a total person. He must know black psychology, sociology, economics, politics in and out of his black mind. The traditional system does not provide this." At the start, black studies did not find complete support of all civil rights headers.

"Enrollments in the studies exceeded expectations," Obichere said. "We had expected courses to attract mostly blacks, but this was not the case." The instroductory survey course at UCLA attracted 500 students, 400 of them white, he said. The history class had 100 white and 80 black students.

Many major secondary school s stems have taken steps to correct this, including New York, Philadelphia and Seattle. "It is inevitable that it goes that way, said Hudson. "But the university must develop the knowledge necessary to correct errors and omissiohs in the courses now taught at lower levels. This calls for research .and writing at thp college level. "Those who teach in high schools and elementary the present social grades teachers must be trained in the areas we are dicussing, he continued.

Black studies have been introduced to some of the most p r e s t i g ious preparatory schools, such as Exeter in New Hampshire and The Lawrenceville School in New Jhrsey. There is no sign that militant and moderate black or white students will lessen their demand for more black faculty on the college and university campuses.

There are many available and not just in black studies. "Many have been but they weren't found, hired. I Can Duck Out and Bowl - a , r , js Nixon Enjoys Bowlings Challenge, Gives Up Golf By Tom Seppy Associated Press Writer - Jr Ji u u M u M W YUk V u tV 5NVJU :A m V V V V President WASHINGTON Nixon doesnt get much time to participate actively in sp.Otts, but on occasion he iip!f across the street from the White House to the Executive Office Building to bowl a few frames. Nixon used to golf but gave it up as too time consuming. He closed down the White House swimming pool in order to expand press room facilities. He likes to bow-- because it doesnt take much time," said While Ronald L. Ziegler, He House press secretary. can go over to the alley in the EOB in the afternoon and bowl a few frames or in the evening after dinner, he can spend a little time over there." Ziegler said Nixon usually bowls alone. He sometimes bowls, however, with members of his family, his staff and once, took on a White House kitrhen worker who he heard had won a league championship. Results of the match are not known. Ziegler said Nixon also makes frequent use of the bowling facilities at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland. No Whit House aide would say what Nixona bowling av :$ 9 Si. C j erage is but several estimates ranged from 165 through 200. White once told Nixon "In many Housenewsmen, ways, bowling is better for me than golf because it doesnt take as much time. I dont have time to duck out and play golf, but I can duck out and bowl." He said he also likes what he calls bowling's double chalNot only are you lenge against another competing bowler but you're competing against yourself to improve jour score. Nixon isnt the first White House occupant to bowl. Abraham Lincoln is said to in have enjoyed bowling Washington. The first two bowling lanes were installed in the White House in 1950 when President Harry S Truman came across a long, narrow room in the basement. He told his military aide, Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, "That room looks as if it were made for a bowling alley. I got the idea to have an alley put in as a present for the President on his birthday. May 8, said Vaughan, now retired in Arlington, Va. "So I contacted some of my friend; in Missouri and got the money together to have it done. Gen. Vaughan said Truman bowled some but preferred walking for exercise. SAVE UP TO 40 ON DIAMONDS The two lanes were moved from the White House basement to the Executive Office Building in April 1955 to make room for more office space. At the same time, automatic pinspotters were added. It is not known whether President" Dwight D. Eisenhower bowled. President John F. Kennedy and his family rarely used the lanes, preferring other sports. President and Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson bowled a great deal while in the White House. And as in other activities, Johnson did not like to lose. Simon McHugh, a member of the Subversive Activities Control Board, married a Johnson secretary and often bowled with the President, who, he says, is quite good. McHugh said before he was a married his wife took a date to Camp David and the fellow beat Johnson twice. He was never invited back. Mrs. Johnson, a better than average player, bowled almost every day she could, time permitting. No one could verity the validity of a story making the rounds that Nixon told one of his aides that he Shot a 6? the day before. "Gee, says the aide, "Thats pretty good golf.
