the campus group that sponsored his
visit, in criticizing the tight security
Saturday. The capacity crowd had to
pass through a metal detector or be
patted down by campus police.
Eric Ellison, a coordinator of the
visit, said Farrakban travels with his
own securi ty force, but the
university's Department of Public
Safety insisted on staffing the event.
Ellison indicated his group might
challenge the $6,300 essment,
"Maybe we ought to tell all Black
students, let's get the hell out of
white universities," Farrakhan said.
Capt. James Dunlap said 20 campus
officers were assigned to the
Farrakban evenL
He said spoDlOll of aU campus
events, reprdless of their nature, are
billed for police servicea because of
rules against use of pubU� fuDds.
"WHILE WHITE MEN are in
COllege earning medical and
enginee.ting degrees, Black men are
playing basketball and football. The
Bla�k male i8 becoming
decimated.' ,
FARRAKBAN earned several
standing ovationa but dowDplayed
the controversy surrounding him.
"Every time I'm invited (to speak) it
cems as though it ca a stir. I
don't quite understand," he said.
"I'm jUit a little fella with a trumpet
nd evidently my people are
listening.' ,
Farrathan, widely criticized by
major media for alleged anti-Semitic
remarks, declared, "I'm not a hater
of Jews." But, he told the audience,
"Jews were involved in the slave
trade. They made money in the
distribution of Blacb.' ,
