by Aleda Shirley
U of L was the scene of yet another
conference last week - a three day event
_entitled .. Black Women.'' Sponsored by
the university's Pan African Studies
department, "Black Women,, attracted an
audience of near 300. Predominantly
black, the Conference delegates belonged
to such diversified professions as
psychologists, writers. lawyers and
doctors.
The Conference topics encompassed
almost every imaginable facet of the
Black woman and her environment: her
home life, professional interests,
intellectual endeavors, as well as the
popular image the media has garnered her
person.
Dr. Alyce Gullatte, a Washington
professor of psychiatry, keynoted the
Conference activities. Dr. Gullatte
maintained that "the role of the black
female as an agent of change has been
overlooked. In the past, she has been

Tuesday meeting with students
Alternative parking systems proposed
by Jim McGovern
In a lengthy and often heated
discussion, the University Parking
Planning and Policy Committee joined
with a dozen or so students in the
examination of a Parking Proposal
submitted by director Dan Keller of the
Department of Public Safety to the
committee.
The proposal offers several alternative
parking systems, ranging from the present
system with modifications to a
parking-meter~only plan, and is the result
of six months labor by the committee.
Keller's first alternative would improve
and modify the present parking system
including "improved allocation and
location of the various categories of
parking permits." Enforcement would be
extended to a twelve hour day from 8:00
a.m. to 8~00 p.m. Monday through
Friday and from 8:00 a..m~ to noon on
Saturday. More parking meters to
facilitate visitor parking would be
installed, along with improved signs and
markings in the parking lots.
The second al temative is entitled the
Open Parking System and would entail a
shift to a single type of parking decal,

viewed as matriarchial, demanding,
overpermissive." The result of this, said
Dr. Gullatte, is that now people are
questioning "what is the nature of this
woman?" - the black woman.
Dr. Gullatte sees the priorities and
aims of black and white women as being
"essentially different." She explains that
white women who are involved in the
selling to anyone in the University
community for the same price. Parking
availability would be provided on a first
come, first served basis on each campus.
The parking meters only plan would
place a meter before every parking space
on each . campus, with the meters
programmed for various rates and
different periods of time. There would be
no stickers sold and parking availability
would again be provided on a first come,
first served basis.
A fourth system would establish an
interior-periphery system in which
parking areas near the center of each
campus would require a more expensive
sticker than lots on the edge of each
campus. Two types of stickers would be
, sold and parking would again be on a first
come, first served basis within each
category. Any member of the University
community would be allowed to purchase
either permit. ·
Another alternative system was
proposed by the student member of the
committee, Student Senate
Vice-President Greg Price. Essentially,
Price's proposal would differ from the
last-mentioned Keller proposal only in
that the interior rental spaces would sell

Gullatte claims that black women already
have this in regard to their men.
Much of the conference was devoted
to discussion of the black woman in
media. The recent television movie, ·'The

and would be significantly higher in price
(approximately $120) than open parking,
which would remain at the present levels
($12). .
Each system presented was met with a
barrage of complaints and disclaimers
from all sides. As a result , little was
accomplished. However, the committee
did decide it would need more input from
the University community before making
a recommendation to the central
administration.
Keller warned that ''the lead-time of
any of these proposals is critical" and
that "we have only five months until a
new system should be in operation."
William R. Davidson of the Business
Office, who is chairman of the
committee, commented that the meeting
had been "very helpful and quite
informative~·~ ' ;
Students present at the meeting
expressed satisfaction that the proposals
would receive more consideration and
further publicity. &it some feared that
"whatever they promise, we will end up
with the same hunting license and long
walk to classes we now have, only at a
higher price." ·.

On the other hand, such black video
personalities as Flip Wilson's Geraldine,
the maid in the series "Good Times" and
the women characters of "Sandford and
Son'' were seen as unfair
characterizations.
