Carter continued.

“ASA, the initials do not ti-
tle an organization,* says Car-
ter. “However, ASA is an as-
sociation composed of black stu-
dent organizations as weU as
independent black students. With
this in mind, I would like to an-
nounce that the Alpha Phi Alpha
and the Alpha Belles two of the
member organizations in the As-
sociation are contributing a float
to Black Week to be entered for
competition in the Homecoming
parade.
The float will be the first to
be entered in the parade by
black students," Carter con-
tinued, “and we are asking that
all of our students participate
in its construction. For this rea-
son, we have not scheduled any
events for Friday night, and hope
that our students will partici-
pate in the construction of the
float throughout the entire week
after regular scheduled activities
have ceased."
Being hung in the Baptist Stu-
dent Union for viewing through-
out the entire week will be a
Black Art Exhibit, featuring tal-
ent from Texas Southern Univer-
sity, Lamar Tech and the black
area high schools. “We feel that
Agriculture aviation is grow-
ing every year in the United
States. More than 100 million
acres of farmland were treated
with chemicals in 1968, and
planes did the job for seven
acres out of 10.
New Orleans has museums
dedicated specifically to jazz,
pharmacy, the marine industry,
art and wildlife.
these young artists are definit-
ely striving for an identity in
their work, and we urge you to
come and see for yourselves the
talent exhibited by these young
artists,* Carter said.
