Several years ago, at the Ohio State University, members of the Black
Student Union (now renamed the Afrikan Student Union -- a very
progressive force on our campus, on issues ranging from police
brutality, affirmative action, retention rates of minority students,
to campus workers' strike) caused a _sensation_ among some white
