BSA

Short Takes

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Black Students Association (BSA) last night effectively selected Alan C. Shaw '85 as its next president. More than 30 students attended last night's meeting to nominate officers for the BSA, but Shaw was the only nomination for the office of president.

Balloting for the presidency and several other positions will take place at the BSA's April 13 meeting.

Robert Moses, a well-known Black activist, also spoke briefly at the meeting. Moses, who was active with the influential Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee during the 1960s, said he wanted to work with the several issue-oriented BSA subcommittees.

BSA members also discussed plans to support the Boston mayoral campaign of Melvin King, a local Black politician to bolster the Afro-American Studies Department, and to raise court fees for the discrimination case of Ephraim Isaccs, a former Afro-Am professor who was denied tenure at Harvard in 1975.
