Ballot Measure No.5, which asked for a $96 million state bond debt and additional county debts to establish joint state-county prisons, was defeated with a 54 per cent No vote.

When it didn't happen., we decided to have another GTF rally to keep the heat on the board." he said. “My guess is that (University President Paul Olum) was working very hard on Friday to reverse the deci sion. and I understand he was disappointed when the decision was not reversed.” kerlin said. kerlin said many GTFs wore reluctant to obtain a 90-day emergency loan, approved May 8 by a state legislative board. "Not many people have taken out an emergency loan because it was an inadequate solution. It would have to be paid back during the summer when not many GTFs art* earning enough to do so." he said. Hunt said some GTFs told him they were concerned that they would not be able to pay the loans back in 90 days because they were already in debt. Fraternity con,inued from pa8e ,A the Interfraternity Council. Austin says "In certain ways, we differ greatly {from the 1C) in the basic makeup.” Austin says. "We did not want to be known as a 'beer bust’ fraternity.” David Anthony, a University Afro-American history profeasor, believes the heart of the racism pro blem is still beating "We can document racism,” Anthony says. “It is not a thing of the past, though it has changed forms. It is not us popular nor as acceptable, but that is not to say that it doesn't exist. We can't deny it and expect it to go away." Anthony says he believes white fraternities are a reflection of white culture "It was only very recently that blacks have even considered joining white fraternities." Anthony says. "It's not comfortable for these men — they are essen tially guinea pigs. To change, we need greater interac tion, the opening of doors to these white fraternities for blacks." Anthony says he believes that historically, frater nities and sororities have lieen extremely important for l many black people. Yet, he says he never wanted to be part of a fraternity because of the vulnerability involved during initiation. "You never know how much you're going through because you’re a pledge or because you're black.” he says. However. Mike (.angford, a black spring pledge at t’hi Delta Theta, disagrees with Anthony. "Kush is not tougher for blacks at all." I^ugford says. "Everybody was pretty nice, and after I signed up. I felt really comfortable." Both Anthony and Austin believe that racism is still alive and well, although it may take different forms. "Racism exists I don’t think anyone can challenge that You lx*t it does Yes, you bet it does." Austin says, leaning forward in his chair. "But as opposed to racism being very blatant, now it's very subtle." Austin adds. "That's why academics art* so important It takes a very intelligent and educated person to recognize subtle racism, and an equally intelligent and educated person to overcome it." w w v-/ w vy w w vy vy , (iniversfty Neighborhood Dentist i Gentle care for students for 14 years Student Discount Available J.
