Georgia Senator Julian Bond declared his support for state senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass) in a speech before UM students Thursday. Bond’s lecture, held in the International Lounge, was sponsored by UM’s United Black Students (UBS).
According to a UPI report of Bond’s press conference Thursday morning, Bond said that although he once supported Carter, he now feels that “the hopes of 1976 have
gone unfulfilled. The promises have not been kept."
Bond admitted that Carter and Kennedy basically “want the same things. It's just a feeling of dissatisfaction I have with the President and his style of doing things and his behavior and conduct of the office," Bond said.
In his speech, Bond discussed the political attitude in America.
"Politics really has a bad name in the Unites States. I am. by profession a politician. I know that’s not
popular in 1979.
‘it’s a shame that many of you do not respect my profession I am proud that I belong to the greatest group of men money can buy," Bond said
Bond said that one of his main purposes for speaking to UM students was two-fold: to get people to vote in both the election of delegates to the Presidential Straw Vote Caucus in Florida and to vote for those who support Kennedy

men who believe that the United State* needs a new kind of leadership ... needs a leadership that can get along with the Congress of the United States but won’t be cowed and bullied by it ... needs a leadership that has a long-standing, decades-old commitment to the problems of the poor and disinherited ... a leadership which, in the years to come, will make the Unites States what we were all told when we were younger men and women, boys and girls, that it ought to be. Now that’s what I’m here for," Bond said.
During his hour-long speech. Bond spoke of his concern for the apathy that young people have towards political activities.
"Young people in the Unites States used to play an active and a vital role in effecting social policy. For one reason or another that is no longer true. In fact, the group of people, the age group that most of you represent, actually has the poorest level of political participation of anyone in the United States," Bond said.
Bond urged the students to become involved in the Presidential election in some way and to let their voices be heard on political issues.
“Find some means to become active in what you believe in," Bond said.
Bond also spoke about Carter’s leadership as it affected the black population.
“Black people have become sacrificial victims on the altar of the struggle against inflation," Bond said.
Bond also said that in the 1976 Presidential election 9 out of 10 black people voted for Carter. However, although at one time, the black community supported Carter, they have lost confidence in his ability to lead the nation as a whole.
“Politics is the art of who gets how much of you know what from you know who. And we are the who who haven't got much of anything from you know who," Bond said..
Bond has a long history of political and civil rights involvement.
From 1961 to 1966, Bond was a reporter and feature writer for the Atlanta “Inquirer," a black weekly newspaper He became managing editor in 1963.
He was also a founder of the Slu-

(jfur^ia Senator Julian Homi
dent Non-Violent Coordinating Committee in 1960.
In 1961 Bond was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives from Atlanta's 11th District.
When Senator Eugene McCarthy ran for the Presidency in 1968, Bond became the first black man in history to be nominated for Vice-President.
Today. Bond Is a member of the boards of the Delta Ministry Project of the National Council of Churches, the Robert Kennedy Memorial Fund, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center and the NAACP:
... lecturing to students
He is also a nationally syndicated columnist for the N.B.C. Today Show.
“I enjoyed the presentation because I feel that he has the ability to speak in such a manner that the average citizen can realize the interrelationship. between the political system and the impact that it has on their personal lives,” Clayton Hamilton of UBS said.
When asked what Bond thought of the students at UM, he said, “I really don’t know them, but if these students are like other students, they don’t have any involvement. They’re out of it.”

The annual Homecoming Blood Drive will be held through Wednesday in the Flamingo Ballroom located on the second floor of the Student Union.
All members of organizations participating in Homecoming will be required to give blood or find a replacement donor.
Mount Sinai Medical Center, one of the leading heart centers in the country, will be the intermediary between donors and recipients. Technicians from the hospital will be assisting in the blood drive.
Mount Sinai will give free t-shirts to all donors and prizes to every organization that donates more than 25 pints.
Mount Sinai Hospital, located on Miami Beach, has approximately one open-heart surgery operation each day. Each of these operations uses between five and 80 pints of blood. Every pint of blood used at Mt. Sinai is donated by community
members.
If you gave blood last year at Homecoming you can find out your blood type in one of the showcases across from the Bookstore during Homecoming Week.
And if you’ve never given blood, you have nothing to worry about, according to Nancy Masterson, Mount Sinai representative.
"It really doesn't hurt and rarely
do people get weak. The most scary part is in the mind. Most of the! problems with donors after giving blood are psychosomatic," Master-son saidf
Donors should be between 17 and 66 years of age and weigh over 110 lbs. with no history of hepititas. Actual donation only takes about five minutes, so take a few minutes and help save a life.

As the field of communications continues to increase, so does the demand for additional studio space
and labs.
According to Ed Coll, vice president of Development Affairs, the plans for a new S2.287 million Communications Building are "still somewhere down the
road ”
Meanwhile, the home of the Communications department will remain in the so-called “coffee-colored shacks.” One of the 37 year-old shacks is used for photography, and another houses all the other fields of study in communications.
According to Coll, the department is still searching for donors for the building.
“■’ he Sunbeam Television Corporation, Channel 7. is assisting the University in funding a position. This is being done on the basis of a $7,500 grant through the Communications department,” Coll said.
I he $2,287 million estimated cost will have a 10 percent increase in basic construction costs.
"Should someone identify themselves within the next 24 months in funding, we will surely listen," Coll said.
I he new building will house a motion picture studio. a television studio, theater and speech therapy-labs, a journalism department, a photo lab, and more lab facilities for specialized areas.
Coll stated that there are “no working drawings” on the project because priority has been given to the improvement and expansion of communications programs.	*

Students can now receive a $30 loan from UM's Cash Loan Agency.
Sponsored by the Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG), the Cash Loan Agency was established in conjunction with USBG and director David Stone of the Student Loan Office.
“Any registered undergraduate student Is eligible for the loan by simply presenting his ID card Students can receive up to $30 which can be repaid after a three wet * period." Tom Van Popering. USBG treasurer said
However, after the three weeks, the agency will charge $1 per week interest
The loan may be acquired at the USBG office in the Treasury department in Room 240 of the Student Union.
Van Popering said that the Cash
Loan Agency was established in order to facilitate "student services. Students can get short temporary loans the easiest way possible.”
The agency is specifically aimed at those students employed by the Work Study Program. Since these students get paid on a monthly basis, they may run put of money by the end of the month. These students can receive the loan in order to pay for books, food, and other necessities.
"Something they wouldn’t be able to get anywhere else on so short a notice," Van Popering said.
Van Popering also mentioned that the agency is short on funds right now, but that more money is expected from the Student Activities Fund Allocation Committee (SAFAC).
Consequently, by the spring semester. the amount of the loan will increase from the present $30 limit.
