sieniAiii '-J. of Bridgeport, the of New York and Rutjsrs, gests that the movent tt has united black students is an amalgam of at least three elements: TEE black movement as a whole, which increasingly emphasizes the value of assertive "blackness" rather than the old 'goal of integration. The student power movement, in which both white and black students confront university administrations and structures that they regard as By J. ANTHONY LUKAS" (c) N.Y. Times News Service YORK The morning after the Rev.

Dr. Martin Lather King Jr. was kiUed, a white student balancing a tray of eggs and toast sat down across a tatfe from a black student in a Yale College dining room. "I was terribly sorry to hear about Dr. King," the white boy said.

"But I'm interested to know how all this affects a 3 Negro. Would you mind telling i me just how you reacted to it?" The black student fixed the white for a moment with a hard glare. Then he got up, leaving his half-eaten breakfast on the table, and walked out of the dining room."

But it may tell more about what is gnawing at Negroes on predominantly white campuses than all the sit-ins at Columbia Northwestern, Colgate and dozens of other universities across the country.

A survey of Yale, Wesleyan, Cornell, Vassar, the University -The identity crisis that nearly all young persons go through at some time but wheh may be particularly acute for members of minority groups. -The. element that the Negro student movement shares with the wider blackmovement across the country is the most obvious of the three. Until a few years, Negro students on predominantly white campuses were notably out of touch with aspirations of slum Negroes. Carefully selected from the best Negro high school graduates, praised as a "credit to their race," yet desperately unsure of their positions, they usually reacted by becoming "more white than whitey." BUT as the civil rights move-ment has gradually given way to the drive for Black Power, the change has been reflected on the campuses.

From being among the most striking "Uncle Toms" in the Negro Community, black students have nowt become among the angriest spokesmen for the militant black movement. Or, in their own terms, they have evolved from begging for acceptance in a white world, to "blacks," proudly proclaiming their heritage and demanding recognition of their manhood. Within the last two or three years, Negro student organizations have been formed at all of the institutions surveyed, except Bridgeport, where one is being formed. At Vassar, Cornell, Rutgers and Wesleyan, the groups are all as the Student Afro-American Society. At Yale it is known as the Black Students Alliance.

At City College it is the Onyx Society. THE groups claim between 35 and 90 per cent of the Negro 3 students on campus as formal members, with others who attend meetings and participate in some activities. Relatively few Negroes on campus reject the groups' goals. On virtually all of the campuses, the black students are demanding greater efforts to recruit black students with the exception of Conrell, where the students appear reasonably satisfied with the university's vigorous efforts in that direction. All of the groups want See BLACKS Page 2, Col.
