GSB will host a Catt presentation tonight

A presentation on the history of Carrie Chapman Catt will be given at tonight’s Government of the Student Body meeting by members of the September 29th Movement.

This presentation will be given by Senators Allan Nosworthy, graduate seat, and Milton McGriff, non-traditional seat.

Senator Nosworthy, chairman of the September 29th Movement, explained the reason why he felt the presentation was in order for the GSB.

“Lots of senators have stated that they have no opinion on this issue. After Milton and I give this presentation, hopefully they’ll be able to formulate an opinion,” Nosworthy said.

Nosworthy also explained what the presentation was going to include.

“It is going to be a presentation of some history dealing with Carrie Chapman Catt, and its relevance to campus right now. There will be a power point Macintosh presentation by myself and Milton McGriff. It’s really nuts and bolts stuff and there will be an opportunity for people to ask questions after the historical presentation,” Nosworthy said.

Nosworthy also said he did not know if other members of the September 29th Movement would attend because of plans the movement has for this weekend.

“Since we’re having a number of workshops this weekend at the Union that deal with the same issues we’re presenting to the senators, I don’t know how many members will attend.

“This first presentation is aimed at the senators, but anyone is welcome to attend,” Nosworthy said.

In other business:

*The GSB will discuss a bill tonight to appropriate $750 from the Senate’s discretionary fund for a series of workshops on healing racism in America.

This workshops are being sponsored by the United Christian Campus Ministry, the Young Women’s Christian Association, the Women’s Center and Minority Student Affairs. They will culminate in a fall retreat.

The workshops are meant to help to diagnose racism; recognize efforts to establish racial justice, equality and unity; and discuss how we can establish racial justice in our communities.
