We understood, however, that if we called for a strike under that banner, few would listen, since the consciousness of a people must be nurtured and fed for them to arrive at such a revolutionary position. Instead, inspired by Douglas Turner Ward's "Day of Ab- sence"- a play in which Black people in a Southern town mysteriously disappeared, creating for that city mammoth confusion and chaos, and .by Mahatma Gandhi's Hartal, a strategy that called for a day of reflection, a spiritual removal from the agony of British colonialism--the concept of Black Solidarity Day, a day of absence, a Black family day, a spiritual day, was born. Don't work. Don't travel. Don't buy became our organizational slogans. Practically, this was tantamount to a general strike. Blacks worked in the hotels, the schools, the factories, the buses, the trains, the service sector. Thus, if we stayed at home, then the trains would not run, so too the buses. The telephone system would be jeopardized. The banking system would also be affected, since we man the computers. Obviously, then, Black Solidarity Day was and is a revolutionary challenge to the systematic oppression of Black people in this country. THE STATE OF BLACK FRATS AT SUSB: Part I

Recently the image of Black fraternites IL- _ · _ ii _ I · i _ we _ I and sororities has been tarnished due to widely publicized incidents. From hazing accusations to shootouts at "Greek" events the public's perception of these groups has been slanted towards a negative view. Hereat S.U.N.Y. at Stony Brook especially, the Black frats have had their members or their whole organization attacked or investigated by the administration TONES of of this institution. Last year alone, the brothers of Malik Sigma Psi had to deal with the false accusationiof one of their members being involved in a rape, the brothers of Phi SEdiTiON Beta Sigma were scolded by administration for throwing a party that ended in outsiders shooting automatic weapons and the brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi had to defend themselves while being accused of hazing. The Sigmas and the Kappas both received undue punishment by DWAYNE the administration. Did these events occur because they were Black fraternities?

Now they So why doesn't Blackworld newspaper, (it's have what would Blackworld for those that can live happily ever after printing those seem should be somewhat standard equipment? are wondering) it had not arrived yet? Maybe radical and revolutionary ideas of theirs," The Statesman got theirs as a donation. That's you thought that you made a mistake as to when right? Like I said before, if only things were fine and dandy. The Press on the other hand it was supposed to come out (it's scheduled so simple. Sure, Blackworld did get a new got theirs from Polity. That stinks. Don't get for an appearance every other Thursday).

In fact The Press is my those few precious issues of the paper, newspaper. favorite campus publication, right next to leaving you empty handed and forced to merely Andrews explained, "What we got isn't even Blackworld.

"Our machine is fifteen years old and has It is a sad but true fact nonethless you say, "Why not just take your business. that some a book value of around 10 people feel hatred for or are thousand dollars," somewhere else?"

"We were hoping that we could by words such as these, and in turn You may not be aware of this, but we're refuse to be associated trade it in for another machine."
