Montana Kaimin Missoula, Montana Thursday/April 16, 1987 University of Montana Racial bigotry growing on college campuses, says UNT sociologist By Judi Thompson Kaimin Reporter Incidents of racial bigotry are increasing on campuses across the United States — including the University of Mon tana, a UM sociologist said Wednesday. Racial conflicts are increasing "even on our campus,” sociol ogy Professor Rodney Brod said, noting propaganda distrib uted recently on campus by a student trying to organize a white student union. The White Student Union's fliers advocate ideologies of the Ku Klux Klan and the Aryan People’s Party, he said. A portion of one flier warns that “those guilty of fraternizing socially or sexually with blacks" are violating “the revolutionary ethic” and will be punished by death. Another section proclaims that “we will not be slaves” and “we will not pay taxes to support all the orphan aliens and niggers who feed at the public trough as so many welfare pigs.” Yet UM is not the only campus experiencing a new wave of 1950s-style racism. Columbia University and other institutions including Welles ley, Purdue, George Washington University and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst have experienced brawls be tween black and white students.

Central Board votes to follow constitution By Tricia Peterson Kaimin Reporter In an attempt to force student government to follow legiti mate governing rules, Central Board voted last night to adhere to the current ASUM Constitution. By adopting the current constitution, CB will be forced to “take no action that goes against both it’s constitution and bylaws," according a motion the board approved. ASUM has not been operating under a legitimate document because the constitution and bylaws have not been signed by University of Montana President James Koch. ASUM Vice President Mike Mathison said after the meeting, “It was questionable whether we were bound by the constitu tion without a university president signature, but we want to say we are bound and CB has adopted that." The board’s decision will allow the ASUM Constitutional Review Board to determine cases where it’s “impossible to ad here” to the constitution, and then suggest "alternative courses of action” upon a two-thirds CB vote. In other matters CB member Lisa Surber proposed changing Staff photo by Steen Slmonsen Winter Quarter elections to spring to adhere to the constitu tion. The motion failed.
