Executive board members were also interested in “more togetherness with other black organizations such as the African Students and Caribbean Students Clubs." But the general attitude was even more encompassing: “We’d like to work in conjunction with other organizations on campus in planning and sponsoring activities," said Hammond He added that he'd already spoken with David Ausländer, president of the Honor Students Association. about joint activities with that club. Hammond's goal is "to put UBS into the mainstream of total campus activities."
Still in the planning stage are the election of a program director, USBG Senator, Public Relations Officer, and committees for Black History Month, Carni Gras, and Homecoming, the latter of which UBS has not been active in in the past.

He said that these organizations

awareness in UBS. and making UBS as self-sufficent as possible.
Already past the initial stages on the drawing board are orientation programs for new students this summer.
“This is a first for UBS,” Hammond said. "We want to show the students the various resources and organizations available to them."
He also said that programs for both summer and fall orientation were planned. Samms added that through workshops, they aim to “better channel financial aid to the students."

Fundraisers are planned for next year, as well as a new program started by UBS incumbent President Donald Fletcher. The program is aimed at getting area businesses and community leaders actively in-
