Page 2 THE CONCORDIAN March 21, 1969 Editorial Awareness Lacks Completeness The racial crisis that confronts America today is no longer isolated from the Concordia campus. Events of the last seven months have brought to this campus an awareness that something is happening between blacks and whites these days, not just in the South or in the cities but in Moorhead. An awareness is here, yes, but it would be dangerous to see this as an awareness of the problems, frustrations, and aspirations of black people on the part of Concordia's students. Rather, this awareness is only superficial for most: it is the realization that "somebody's making noise again." The awareness is deep enough to make many people uneasy about themselves, their values, and their relations to minorities. However, it is also shallow enough to make many more react defensively, or even hostilely, to the exposure of deficiencies in minority programs and of white society in general that have been given by both black students at Concordia and speakers that have appeared here. At the same time some progress has begun. In fact, compared to previous years, the examination that has been given the minor- _ . _ . ity programs and the curriculum has been extensive and worth- DOng!

March 21, 1969 THE CONCORDIAN Page 3 Administration Releases Drug Policies Statement Nancy Edmonds Last weekend's widespread rumors of an impending invasion force of narks (federal narcotics agents) onto the campuses of the three local colleges, have spotlighted the question of Concordia's drug policy as an individual institution. According to a policy statement recently issued by the ad- ministration through the Student Personnel Office, students in- volved in drug use of the pushing of drugs "may be subject to separation from the college." However, action in drug cases will be determined by circum- stances in each anticipated individual case. Guidelines in cases of this nature have been established with respect to the "health and welfare" of involved students. All federal and state statutes pertaining to the illegal use of drugs are upheld by Concordia, according to the official statement. In addition, students who use, possess or persuade someone else to use illegal drugs of any nature may under some circum- stances be subject to disciplinary action by the college, which DrUQS — The adoption of a policy on students' use of drugs was announced this week by the col- reserves the right to take this action "on the basis of sound evi- lege.
