It would be petty for me to mention that the President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary and most of the executive board of the Black Students Association were not included on the guest list, as well as the entire board of the Afro-American Cultural Center and the entire steering committee of the Association of Black Radcliffe Women...
