Description
This issue of Contac from October, 1974 features articles about racial issues on campus and across the country, and reports on UConn events. Included are reactions to a talk given by Dick Gregory at UConn, letters from the editors talking about the purpose of Contac, and an article discussing the “march of silence” to Gulley Hall and library sit-in of the previous April. There are also articles on national news, such as a piece reporting the dropping of charges against three Attica inmates, an essay by Geoffrey L. Kyles on dehumanization in American prisons, and a discussion of Richard Nixon’s pardon by Vernon E. Jordan, Jr. Also featured are reviews of the movie “Uptown Saturday Night” and a musical performance by Chick Corea. The issue includes a poem by Lois Coleman, a piece describing how football player Russell Clarke led UConn to victory against Vermont, and an article by UConn student John Nesbitt about his dismissal from the ROTC for taking part in the library sit-in. In addition, the issue reports on the recent performances of the Black Voices of Freedom Gospel Choir, gives information about UConn’s Office of Placement and Career Planning, and announces the hiring of two new professors, Dr. Benjamin O. Uzoaur and Dr. Ann Charters.
