IIS AFS IN JEOPARDY? I BY ERROL COCKFIELD
In the era of constant tuition hikes, increasing fees, and the de- crease in the quality of our college education, there has arisen another issue. "Although Africana Studies and Womens Studies need theirown iden- tity, they also need to interact with more traditional studies." These were the words of Provost Tilden Edelstein who spoke on Thursday, March 5th in Staller Center. The theme of his speech was "Multiculturalism." The subtle mean- ing of this statement was that in the future specific departments and pro- grams would be consolidated. For example A.F.S might become part of the History department, Prof. Rivera might become a history professor. Mr. Edelstein assured the crowd (which was composed mostly of"Af- rican-American" students who were enraged at the rumors that they could possibly lose the Africana Studies pro- gram) that the A.F.S program was safe. INNER ofW ILAuA WUiKLSU tal 4L POETRY CONTEST, MS. SUSAN ARA The question that plagued the mind of many, however, was how long would the A.F.S program be safe. "Being an African-American is MS.
