Because this is where we live. Not in an English ghetto, but in a French nation. Not in a culture of Shakespeare and Red Skelton, but among Ti-Coq and his friends. Of course, learning the curves and flats of a people takes time. Syntax bugs everyone. One of the nicer ways to start is with the music of a people. That’s where our Lending Library comes in. At the Record Centre, you’ ll be able to rent from among the giants of Quebec’s music, from old masters like Claude Leveillee to the modern dynamo of Monique Leyrac. Listen to the sounds climb in the room. Claude Gauthier. Jean-Pierre Ferland. Gilles Vigneault. Hear the artist call out his homeland. Louise Forestier. Tex. Renee Claude. Pauline Julien. It’ s an inexpensive lesson, too. Only $3 yearly membership and 50c (stereo), 35c (mono) weekly.

$15,000 owed to Sir George students by M &H W 1968
By M U R R A Y SM ITH
On October 26th of last year, some 2000 students staged a sit-in on the floor of the lobby to protest. What they protested for, and whether the protest produced results, have not, as yet, been ascertained.
In the course of the intervening months, a plethora of news releases, declarations, and announcements have sounded and resounded in the plastic- tiled halls of Sir George. However, with the exception of this generation of noise, nothing has happened. The students of this university demonstrated their intention of lowering the prices on books, which, of course, has not happened. What has happened is the production of an excess of committee work, pronouncements, and little else.
Let us review the events. The strike occured as a result of demands regarding the operation of the bookstore. Most students, at that time, worked under several delusions. Among these was the fact that the bookstore was making a profit, and that this profit was being plowed into the Athletics Department. Henry Worrell, University Controller, had, in the previous spring, given a statement of account to the Bookstore Investigation Committee, in which an insignificant profit was listed. This immediately raised the ire of students who came to the conclusion that there was either gross dishonesty or gross incompetence. The indignation built up and in the course of time, it reached the proportions of a movement.
It seems that, in reality, most students had a very limited understanding of the issues involved, and an every lesser understanding of the political process of bargaining. This was the result (to a degree) of the complete manipulation of information that takes place in any undemocratic institution. It was, however, also due to a great lack of political experience on the part of the people organizing it. Hence, the failure.
What occured is history. There is no need to examine the particular events of the bookstore strike. What must be examined are the issues involved. The results of the strike were as follows. Two committees were established. One was to provide policy for the bookstore, the second, more vague, and even more useless, was to provide “ an examination of the concrete means of more fully involving students and faculty members in the affairs of the university” .
The Bookstore Committee has done little during the First fourteen months of its existence. If students were expecting the prices to be lowered, they were sorely mistaken. Anyone
remembering the optimism of that time has justification for complaining. The last meeting of the bookstore committee reported, after examining the books, that it was not a question of a misplaced profit as much as a great loss.
The whole question of funds, and allocation of money in a university must be understood against a background of the financing of higher education in Quebec.
The Quebec government sets up a list of requirements regarding what is and what is not admissable for government aid. Hence the tendency among university administrators to shuffle losses and profits from one department to the next. This is further compounded by the fact that Sir George’s separation from the YMCA has led to an even more unpredictable set of accounts.
For instance, it seems that the originally reported bookstore debt of forty-five thousand dollars will probably, in the light of further examination, be considerably larger. What is in any event ascertainable about the operation of the bookstore is its complete mismanagement. Why a bookstore that sells at retail prices should take a loss when its competitors seems to be making considerable profits is a question that boggles the imagination of even anyone so supposedly naive as the book-buying students of this university.
Rumour has it, that at the next meeting of the bookstore committee (its first open one), Jack Silver, the Bookstore manager will be fired. This seems likely and long overdue. The expressed opinion of at least one member of the committee that Henry Worrell should join him seems less likely. Universities take care of their own.
The conclusion that seems to be drawn from the whole affair, is that radicals supported a liberal cause to achieve a conservative end. The people who initiated the bookstoe strike certainly did not have as their end, the introduction of greate business efficiency and better retailing practice, but this seems to have been the result.
Several things can, however, be learned from this. Firstly, vague committees with little function, no mandate and less power, cannot be accepted in place of concrete concessions. In the case of the bookstore strike, we were neatly co-opted. The administration suffered from a slight amount of bad public relations, but absolutely no structural reforms resulted. •
Secondly, the committees that were set up were not only vague and powerless, they have the additional defect

Approximately 150 Sir George students who worked last summer as guides at Man and His World have been refused their initial two weeks pay by the city administration.
When students agreed to work as summer guides at the fair they were guaranteed reimbursement for their two week training period in the form of a bonus to be handed to them on October 14, 1968. To date they have seen none of this money. Based on an average week’s pay this bonus would amount to about $100 per student guide.
What they did receive as their “ bonus” was the mandatory vacation pay supplement of 2% which should have come in addition to the $100. Complaints were lodged with the Syndicat de la Fonction Publique whicl represents all city employees but as yet no action has been taken on the part of the students by the Syndicat. UGEQ has attempted to intervene on behalf of the students but it has been unable to reach settlement in the matter.

Help wantedEditor, the georgian;
Regarding C. W. Gonick’s statements on Trudeau regarding Trudeau’s statements on Biafra:
I find it odd that while a black brotherhood convention was in Montreal, blacks were killing blacks in Biafra, and basically, the black brotherhood of North America was on the Bial'ran side. When
Rear view of our crisis
Trudeau refused to become embroiled in the Nigerian problem, he was taking, unbeknownst to Gonick, an anti-American stand. His statements, translated, meant: ‘If Canada went into Biafra with “ help” , it would be no different than the United States going into South Viet Nam with “ help” .’ Moreover, Trudeau was telling the wealthy Canadians to put their money where their mouths were: private dona-
con’ ton p .6 ...
He calls me comrade and laughs, apologizing for his seriousness. He has a poster of Mao Tse-Tung on the wall, beside that of Raquel Welch. He wears a black beret and a forage jacket. (She wears nothing). He is as close-conscious as a fashion model; he is immaculately disheveled. He came back after the holidays looking like he had been in Miami. In a revolution.
“ I’ ll stomp your bourgeois brains in one of these days,” he says paternally, fondling his leather boots from Eaton’s.
“ You’re making the world a better place to breed in, eh Che?” I say to him.
“ These sarcaaaaastic intellectuals!”
His ambitions to be an accountant have been thwarted. “ These bourgeois profs keep flunking me with their bourgeois courses.” This has given him an idea. He didn’t have a rough adolescence; he had class conflicts with his parents. His last girl-friend who quit on him was a lackey of the establishment. (Actually she was the lackey of a psych major). “ You know, Marxism simplifies so many things” , he explained. I had to agree with him. I expressed amazement that he had not read Marx. “ The guys tell me about it,” he said. Once he asked me where Marx lived.
His political consciousness is slightly below the conscious level. He thinks by intuition. He argues by intuition.
“ Canada is a free country,” someone inadvertently said to him.
“ What? Are you kidding? Just look at the facts man!”
“ What facts?”“ Any facts. I can’t argue with an
ignorant joker like you. You don’t
even know the facts. Find out about them and then I’ ll argue with you” .
Since nobody is in possession of the facts, his defence is impenetrable. Since there are no facts, it is eternal. (If somebody has the facts please bring them to the georgian office).
What worries me is that if it weren’t for pricks like him there would be no student movement, no peace movement, no new left movement. Sure, there’s a few people organizing. But they can’t do anything without jerks that follow. I am not saying that you have to be a jerk to be in a movement, but most people are jerks, in movements or out. The difference between a prick who is a revolutionary and a prick who is a fascist is not their social awareness, not their sense of responsibility, not the care with which they each adhere to their particular ethical codes (neither of them having been capable of inventing their own), but the people they hang around with. You hang around with revolutionaries, you become a revolutionary; hang around with fascists, you become a fascist.
But this is not what worries me. What worries me are those lilly- pures who don’t hang around. “ We have integrity. We don’ t associate” . I say, great, baby! You can have integrity, and we’ ll take society. “ Hitler was made by joiners,” they say. Wrong. Hitler was made by those who didn’ t join against him. Society gives no political asylum! In society there is no integrity. That is the stuff tragedies are made of, and at the next tragedy, there won’t be an audience; we’ ll all be players. So, get off your fast ass baby, pick the demonstration of your choice, but demonstrate.
N ix o n a n d C a n a d a - The next fo u r yea rsBy S T E P H E N S C H E IN B E R G
The Novem ber fifth victory of Richard N ixon has thrown a pall over liberals everywhere. His la rge ly self-proclaim ed leadership abilities will be given a full test over the next four years. It is a test most C a n a d ia n s would g la d ly have foregone. W hile the result of the American election was not unexpected, m any C a n a d ia n s are fearful. If the election had been held here, Hubert Hum phrey would certainly have won by a landslide, for the "Tricky Dick" im age has gre at staying power in these northern parts.
O ld er C a n a d ia n s m ay remember that Humphrey w as not a lw ays an LBJ stooge but was orfce, in 1948, the outspoken leader of a civil rights struggle which tem porarily split the Dem ocratic Party. They hoped, a lo ng with m any Am erican lib era ls, that the old Hum phrey w as the real Hum phrey. They forgot, or never knew, that the old Hum phrey was also the head of the Senatoria l inquisition which even before Joe M cCarthy's heyday w as cleansing the Congress of Industrial O rga n izatio n s (C .I.O .) of the remnants of Communist leadership and the remnants of union m ilitancy. It w as thjs same old Hum phrey who in 1950 offered a successful amendment to the Internal Security Act which provided for "em ergency detention" in an "internal security em ergency." His foreign policy record in these years w as also typ ica lly that of a co ld-w ar liberal.
The point is not to waste words on the fallen pharm acist at this late date, but to point to a basic deficiency in the C a n a d ia n a p proach to American politics. C a n a d ia n socialists can be very hard-headed in a n a lyz in g the m ajor parties of this country, but they tend to go soft in the head when they view those to the South. Their tendency is to structure Am erican politics as Western horse opera. In these terms the unthinkable departure from the trad ition al scenario has been m ade - the heavy-bearded villain has shot the hairless hero of the liberals clean through.
Have we forgotten so soon that John F. Kennedy unleashed the Bay of Pigs invasion (which Nixon had helped to p lan)? It w as Kennedy too, who led the w orld to the brink of nuclear annih ilation in the autumn of 1962. Surely we can recall how dum bfounded we were in 1964 to discover that the defeat of the m ad G oldw ater had actually resulted in the election of his insane alter ego, Lyndon Johnson.
There are differences between Dem ocrats and Republicans in rhetoric, style, and perhaps tactics. Basically, however, the corporate liberal ideo logy continues to dom inate Am erican political thought and action, and Richard N ixon, like J.F .K ., L.B .J.,and H .H .H ., is one of its prime spokes-
The Am erican governm ental and political structures are not easily changed, and there is no evidence
that N ixon has any desire to do so. C erta in ly the pow er of these institutions to shape the man to the role has been more impressive than any ind ividual effort to alter the system. The history of the Am erican presidency in the twentieth century shows m arked variations in personality and ab ility , but rem arkable consistency in policy.
N ixon's realist brand of politics is a guarantee that things aren't go ing to change much. In his political youth N ixon reaped the ad van tage s of a right- w ing position. However, one must recognize that the extremism which helped the young N ixon establish a local base of support in the M cCarthy era is a totally inadequate approach to national leadership in the 1960's. Furthermore, Richard N ixon, the supreme political pragm atist, can be expected to understand this.
O n domestic issues he will rely on private enterprise to produce solutions to urban ills and racia l strife. O f course, in the true spirit of "free enterprise" the government will underwrite the ensuing program s and guarantee the security of any corporation investments. Liberal and rad ica l critics m ay properly query, both the propriety of these business- governm ent relations (although their a ffa ir is of long standing) and the likelihood that any solution they reach will be very effective. Yet any criticism of N ixon's approach must take into account the shape of contem porary American politics. A conservative coalition had dom inated Congress since 1939. Unless one wishes to include the pitifully inadequate M edicare program , the United States has taken no m ajor steps tow ard a w elfare state in the last thirty years.
Congressional conservatism forced the trad itional liberals to re-evaluate their tactics. Even in the face of riot-torn cities the Congress could not be expected to generate further w elfare measures, and their position was backed by the vast m ajority of Am ericans. Charles Percy and Robert Kennedy arrived almost simul
taneously at p ara lle l solutions to the urban housing crisis. Although they d iffered on particu lars, both of them advocated that the job be undertaken by private enterprise. N ixon finds this idea not only ideo lo gica lly com patib le but politically realistic. If this a p proach to the domestic crisis fa ils, it will represent not the failure of the new President but the failure of American capitalism to resolve its most ago n izin g problem. In fact, the problem m ay have no solution as rising Black dem ands meet with grow ing White resistance.
N ixon's self-im age is patently that of the w orld statesman. He is unlikely to follow Eisenhower in choosing a strong individual to serve as Secre
tary of State. Instead, like Kennedy and Johnson, he will be the real holder of that portfolio. Like his predecessors, he does not question the right or the desirability of America's far-flung economic and m ilitary empire, but he m ay make a few changes. He does not have a personal stake in the Vietnam W ar and this fact a lone m ay prove important in bringing about its end. M oreover, a Republican, and especially N ixon, has no need to fear that his patriotism will be ch allenged if he accbpts realistic peace terms. In short, N ixon is in much the same position as w as Eisenhower when he extricated the United States from the Korean conflict.
If a peace settlement is not reached, one can expect Nixon to act on his word and strongly escalate the w ar.
In this hemisphere N ixon's brand of pragm atism will engender less hypocrisy about American a id to m ilitary dictatorships. Further threats to the United States' conception of hemispheric stability will doubtless result in a rep lay of the Dom inican action. This method has a lw ays ranked high with Am erican policy makers.
C a n a d a itself m ay experience some direct results of the N ixon victory. David Lewis and Robert Stanfie ld have a lre ad y expressed their fear of an American turn to traditional Republican protectionism. The President does have some discretionary powers in altering existing tariff rates, but new legislation must be considered by Congress - and the composition of that body was not significantly ch an ged in this election. N or should we suppose that Ford, G eneral Electric, Chrysler, etc., would tolerate such a blow to the C a n a d ia n economy, end angering as it would their great investments in branch plants. There seems little reason for a case of the tariff jitters at this time. -In any event, it is curious that a socialist parliam entary leader expresses such fears. Perhaps a little dose of American protectionism might provide just the jolt C a n a d ia n s require for a fresh exam ination of their own economic structures and their dependence on the Am erican collosus.
One other " C a n a d ia n aspect" of the American election should be noted. N ixon's victory will undoubtedly stimulate the a lre ad y substantial current of American em igration to C a n ad a. H opefully, this flow will not be interrupted by any action taken on this side of the border. If it is not, the econom ic, intellectual, and political life of C a n a d a m ay, ironically, be the greatest beneficiary of Nixon's triumph.

... from p.4tion is the only way not to be American.
What Gonick calls hypocrisy in Trudeau - Canada’ s comic book hero - is really Trudeau’s sense of morality: Trudeau’ s just not willing to say God is on our side, not because he doesn’ t think it but because it’ s not true.
Point Two: Black North American brotherhood becomes ludicrous without the realization that power establishments are basically white, and that when blacks get into power they turn into what everyone now calls the white establishment. This is obviously not to say that blacks cannot be in power positions without being white, but simply that all power establishments hold valuable what the blacks think of as white value. Unrest in Duvalier’ s regime is another prime example. World-wide
black brotherhood, as the blacks say they want, is as ludicrous as world-wide white brotherhood. The German’s are white and the Russians are white, but that didn’ t and doesn’ t stop white Americans from hating them.
Gonick’ s problem is that he can’t see past Trudeau’ s buck teeth.

Yellow journalism...
Editor, the georgian;Your recent coverage of events sur
rounding the accusations concerning Professor Anderson and your editorial on the same subject in the most disgusting piece of yellow journalism that I have ever read.
You have accused a man of a serious crime that would destroy his livelihood, unjustly brand his family and crush his career before he has had a trial and an opportunity to prove himself innocent. What right have you to establish yourself as State Prosecutor Plenipotentiary and Grand Inquisitor pf Sir George answering only to God? Your “ facts” concerning this entire matter are at best half- truths or blatant, outrageous and unsubstantiated lies designed to provoke racial unrest, animosity and hatred where none existed before. Your denunciation of the CFCF editorial on this same matter labels you clearly as fascists who are intolerant of other views, and whom you attempt to label others as.
Your defense of militants who attempt to appear as self-styled spokesmen for the entire Black community of Sir Geor
ge, Canada and the world and who shrilly scream “ racism” because they do not pass a course impugns your very position as editor of this university paper. What are your motives in so vengefully and onesidedly misrepresenting this entire affair? Are you trying to manufacture
a crisis, destroy another human being without giving him the right to trial and divide this student body along racial lines? Your labels of so-called “ racism” and your unfounded criticism against Dean Madras is simply nauseating -I am simply fed up with this unmitigated prefabricated abuse. Your incessant name-calling (i.e. “ racism” , “ fascist” , “ McCarthyism” ad nauseaum) would more appropriately refer to you the accuser & it is high time that you should be brought to heel.

Saskatchew an student g o v ’t endangered by censorship
Canadian University Press
REGINA -- University of Saskatchewan students here have responded sharply to administration attempts to emasculate their student union and muzzle their newspaper, The Carillon.
A general meeting Wednesday of about 2,500 students of 4,400 at the University’ s Regina campus voted overwhelmingly for a referendum Thursday proposing a written contract between the student council and the administration that would direct the administration to collect Council fees from students at registration.
The three-hour meeting also censured the University’s Board of Governors for refusing to collect fees on Council’ s behalf this term.
Student fees not collectedThe Board announced Dec. 31 that it would
not collect Council dues because of Council’ s financial support of The Carillon, which it said has undermined confidence in the University’s Senate, Administration and Governors.
Wednesday’s general meeting was addressed by several student leaders, among them Martin Loney, President-elect of CUS, who attacked the Board of Governors as representing the Province’ s corporations and the Saskatchewan Liberal Party.
“ For the past while the press has been talking about outside agitators, a militant minority attempting vo mould students’ minds and destroy the university,” Loney said. “ I have been looking for these people and now I think I have finally found them — on the Board of Governors of the University of Saskatchewan.”
Survival of student governmentRegina student councillor John Gallagher
told the meeting that the issue is not The
Carillon but the survival of the Student Council here. With support from Ralph Smith, Council’s Past President, and Don Mitchell, Council President in 1966-67, Gallagher outlined previous administration's attempt to suppress The Carillon.
The Regina administration maintains it has left open channels for discussion and negotiation between the Student Council and the Board of Governors, although council has consistently charged the governors with imposing censorship and restricting free speech within the university.
In a statement Wednesday, the administration outlined its version of past conflicts with The Carillon and said:
“ One of the duties of the Board of Governors is to have regard for the welfare and advancement of the university. If any organization of the university, including the student newspaper, persists in acting in a manner considered to be harmful to the university, the Board must disassociate the university officially from any involvement.”
Continuing examination of ideas The Student Council earlier dismissed
this argument by pointing out the university’s calendar urges students to carry on a continuing examination of institutions and ideas.
The calendar adds: “ This constant critique must be applied first to the structure and function of the university itself.”
The Student Council at the U of S campus at Saskatoon also condemned the governors’ action, demanding in a meeting Tuesday that the Board reverse its decision and guarantee the autonomy of student press and student government at both campuses.
The Saskatoon council demanded a response by Monday, although a general student meeting called Wednesday failed to gain a quorum. Those present, however, overwhelmingly supported their council’ s action
B ookstore... from page oneof having no time limit set on negotiations. Fourteen months after the strike, little has happened. The administration counted, and counted well, on the short memories of students. They knew, as very few students knew, that manipulation is much easier in committee than in public.
Thirdly, the mistake that was made was that most people involved had only a limited amount of information about the issue. Thus, they were easily deluded. What should have been done, was a much heavier and more comprehensive program of political education. The students involved should have known, not only what the issues were, but the precise nature of the demands and the possibilities for their realization. With a bit of foresight the same mistakes will not reoccur. What is needed in any further action is precisely a political approach, one that is well planned, well understood, and has as its goal, the redistribution of power.
M & H W 1 9 6 8 .. . from page one
Further, as a result of last summer’s emplyment crisis, the city administration took advantage of it’ s student employees by arbitrarily cutting back on the number of working hours guaranteed to the guides as well as requiring them to work overtime hours with no additional pay.
At this time of year many students are expressing concern over cheir lack of funds and should be willing to take action.
All those who are concerned in the matter are requested to attend a meeting to be held Friday at noon in H-333-3. At this meeting a course of action, hopefully to be agreed upon by students from other Montreal universities, will be decided.

Proposal for ESA representation San Francisco State opens labelled w e a k by J.C.U.A.
An evening student’s proposal for representation on the Joint Committee on University Affairs was sharply criticized by that body at its latest meeting Tuesday evening.
The proposal was presented by Wayne S. Gray, Editor-in-chief of The Paper.
The J.C.U.A. was established after last year’s bookstore strike and this fall was mandated to study proposals for the restructurization of university government. The Committee is composed of four administration, four faculty and four student members. As it was established last year the selection of the four student members was given to the president of the S.A. This year, however, one student seat has been given to the E.S.A.
What Gray requested was that the representation of evening students be increased to equal that of the day students. Further he added that the ultimate goal of the E.S.A. was to obtain “ representation by population” . Whereas the provincial government determines its grants on the basis of credits taken thereby giving the day students a theoretical majority, Gray insisted that the evening division was composed of “ 12,000 individuals” . He forgot to throw in “ mature” .
The Committee wondered why the E.S.A. did not push for “ rep by pop” immediately.
“ For the time being we’re only asking for equal representation. We’ ll try to fill three seats” , Gray promised. Try?!
The Committee felt that this was precisely the problem with representation for evening students. Where they now have seats they are unable to fill them. Magnus Flynn, Dean of Students, expressed concern that the E.S.A. had not sent representatives to councils and committees on which he (Flynn) is a member.
“ We’re following the day student policy of boycott” , explained Gray.
“ When was the last time day students resorted to boycott?” requested Manny Kalles, President of the S. A.
“ We’ ll find one! We’ ll find a time!” Gray
promised. (Back to the files.)Another thing which concerned the Com
mittee was the peculiar manner in which E. S.A. representatives are elected. It was suggested that out of an evening enrollment of 12,000 only 48 people had participated in its elections.
“ Well its probably less than 48” , Gray admitted. “ But how many day students voted last year?”
“ About 2,000 students” . Point defeated.Kalles went on to point out that represen
tation for day students had come about as a result of the recognition by day students of the need for their participation in university government and the work which they undertook to obtain it.
“ Last year day students held a sit-in for the right to sit on this body. At that time evening students on their way to classes stepped over and on those who were involved in the strike. Now that we have achieved our goal evening students are demanding a share. Is this fair?”
Gray admitted that day students had done a great deal of work to achieve this success. One point for Gray - his first and last of the night.
“ What I want to know is what evening students should do to get representation on this body” , Gray continued.
A snicker.“ I wish you wouldn’ t do that when people
are trying to talk.”Snickers. Gray’ s hearing was rapidly com
ing to an end.
The Committee felt that, in order to obtain representation, the E.S.A. or The Paper should demonstrate that they do, in fact, represent the views of evening students. Gray then promised that a brief outlining the demands of evening students would be presented at the next meeting of the J.C.U.A.
Meeting adjourned.

SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco State College reopened today no closer to a solution of its problems or an end to violence than when it closed early for Christmas vacation three weeks ago.
Student strike leaders say they will continue militant action until their demands are met.
The college also faces a faculty strike. The American Federation of Teachers, which includes about 150 of the school’s 1100 facultymembers, began a strike today.
Meanwhile, acting President S. I. Hayakawa, who had police on the campus every day during the first two weeks of his tenure, has taken an even harder line toward demonstrations.
Saturday he issued a statement banning “ rallies, parades, be-ins, hootenanies, hoedowns, shivarees, and all other public events likely to disturb the students in their reading and reflection.” To avoid what he calls “ the cry of free speech,” Hayakawa will permit rallies on the athletic field, away from the main campus, but not on the central campus quadrangle where previous student-poli- ce confrontations have taken place.
He said police will patrol classroom buildings, but none will be used outside unless his new restrictions are violated. Violations appear certain.
The teachers’ strike is a result of dissatisfaction with mediation efforts made du
ring the vacation. Union members met with representatives of the California State College trustees who said they could only listen to-not negotiate — the teachers’ grievances.
During the three-week vacation, the state attorney general’ s office began an investigation of the student government which controls a $400, 000 budget, much of which is spent on community action programs, the Black Student Union and the Third World group.
Hayakawa has been critical of the student government, alluding to irregularities in its election and misuse of student funds. But the attorney general has questioned only two items in the budget— $150 spent by a BSU member on a rifle and $400 given as a speaker’ s honorarium to the Rev. Cecil Williams, a local black leader.
