...Ungeheuer observed Pickens at work. Traveling with Pickens was part of the fun.

Professor Kilson also attacks the Black Alumni Weekend, scheduled for March 1-3 and sponsored by the Black Students Association, the Association of -Black Radcliffe Women and the Afro-American cultural Center. Professor Kilson received an invitation to attend the activities of the Weekend, and to learn more about its purpose. He made no attempts to either speak with the student organizers or respond to the invitation.
