Culture Shock

The Afro-American Cultural Center, which has had more than its share of problems over the past year, is retrenching and redefining.

The center's main problems have been financial--it has only about $14,000 in its coffers now, has a hard time raising funds, and has been getting nowhere in its requests for substantial infusions of Harvard money. The solution to the center's woes seem to be a cutback in the amount of money it spends, which will probably mean hiring a salaried director to replace Imani Kazana, who resigned over the summer. Archie C. Epps III, dean of students and a member of the center's board, said the center will be much more student -run this year than it has been in the past.

The center will also move from its present location on Sacramento St. to a new building at 1750 Cambridge St. next to Burr Hall, by the end of October, in an effort to get closer to the domitories and attract more student participation.
