From the violent confrontations at San Francisco State to the occupations at Brandeis, black students all over the United States are making
news through their actions and their thoughts.
For college administrators, the story of black student activism is
hardly news. It exists on virtually every campus, it is a major focus of

Description
Magazine article aimed at college administrators with the goals of determining what black students are saying on college campuses and presenting what American college campuses have done to minimize confrontations with black students. Starting with a generalized determination that "black students themselves don't really know what they want" the article is primarily an interview with Hugh Lane, the executive director of the National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro Students. Hugh dismisses CM's assertion toward an attitude of separatism from black students and identifies it instead as a call for pluralism, integration without the loss of cultural heritage. Hugh continually asserts that the society as a whole is racist and this has led to deep distrust on the part young blacks toward whites and older blacks. Confrontation, Hugh contends, arises out of the inaction by administrations and trustees to affect change on college campuses.
