Our Black Studies Library contains few books about Africa but many books by black American authors and journals and periodicals that depict the struggle of black people in America to survive as human beings. The relevance of the educational mode of Friends World College for minority group students has been questioned: Why should black or Puerto Rican students be encouraged to attend a college that has little to offer in terms of preparing its students for the traditional voca­ tional careers? The fact is that many black students have a new sense of vocation. They want to discover their roots and their identity and to relate to the black movement toward peoplehood. The consuming interest in professionalism that often siphons . off talented blacks from the ghettos where they are needed most is waning. A new breed of black students seeks to acquire the theory, skill, experi­ ence, and techniques that will help them to serve their communities better. Learning by experience facilitates involvement in com­ munity affairs, with people, and with society and the phy­ sical environment.

New areas of potential controversy emerge even before old issues are settled. At the final session of this Yearly Meeting, the statement was made by one Friend that we must reexamine our policies of investment and the manage­ ment of our financial resources. This Session on repression: (Left to right) Cecil Way, director of Peoples Neighbor­ process, he warned, might be as divisive George Washington, BEDC staff member; hood Youth House, in north Philadelphia, and as difficult as our experience with Harvey Johnson, executive staff, Black speaking in a session on social concerns reparations.

And I think that some of the Spirit that moved us there went with us, back to Yearly Meeting, and helped move Friends, albeit slowly, in the direction God wants us to move. The live-in for me was a highly intense experience, one that I will not soon forget. Even back at the usual office grind, some of the power and glory of the community created at Arch Street that week still clings to me and helps me when I get depressed.

The Daimonic: Source of Creativity and Destructiveness THE THEME, "Wrestling with the Dai­ monic," chosen for the sessions June 4-6 at Haverford College of Friends Conference on Religion and Psychol­ ogy, is a puzzling one. Virginia Davis, chairman of the con­ ference, describes its purpose as an at­ tempt to explore the realm of inner im­ pulse that is the source of creativity as well as of destructiveness. We often are afraid of the instinctual drives of sex, aggression, and lust for power, which, if unchecked, can take over and deform the personality. Vir­ ginia Davis points out that our cultural and religious ideals have instilled in us Music and fellowship were important elements of the live-in at Arch Street Meetinghouse. a static ideal of goodness that strangles and impoverishes life. The conference will therefore wrestle with the problem of redefining good and evil in. the hope of helping par­ ticipants free themselves of the stereo­ types that bind us all to apathy and blandness. The lives of artists will be explored, particularly that of William Blake, with the hope of bringing alive in the partic­ ipants the inner process whereby ex­ perience with the daimonic becomes a transforming experience. Resources will be drawn from primitive wisdom and myths as well as from contemporary depth psychology, to illuminate the re­ lationship of the spiritual life to the daimonic. Elective personal interest groups will provide a variety of ways for individ­ uals to carry out in their own creations Thoughtful a/tenders at the 1971 sessions: Martin Klaver, of Wilmington, Delaware, the theme of the conference.
