-- THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Monday, Feb. 22,

Ole Miss, Alabama

Claim Compliance
With Rights Act
By LAURA GODOFSKY
Collegiate Press Service

-

WASHINGTON The University of Mississippi has only
two Negro students in a student
body of over 4,000. The University of Alabama, which runs an
educational television station
with Auburn University, has no
Negroes on the staff or programs
ofthat station.
Nevertheless, the Universities
of Mississippi and Alabama are
among the more than 1,400 colleges and universities, including
over 430 in the South, w hich have

submitted

pledges to the U.S. Office of Education in compliance with Title
VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Institutions that do not return
the pledge by March 4 may ultimately face a cutoff of all federal
funds.
Those returning the pledge
face strict policing. Commissioner of Education Francis Kcp-prepeatedly assured participants in a recent Washington
meeting on Title VI that the e
of Education would follow up
the pledges with investigations.
"We are neither blind nor
deaf," Mr. Keppel retorted angrily to repeated skeptical questions
about guaranteeing compliance
in the South.
According to regulations published by the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare,
institutions signing the pledge
are committing themselves to a
sweeping range of activities and
policies.
In the admissions field, for
example, no racial or nationality
distinctions can be made in recruiting and promotional activities, application requirements or
eleigibility conditions. Preference
and quota systems are also outlawed.
Institutions signing the pledge
must also equally "afford to students opportunities to participate
in any educational, research, cultural, athletic, recreational, social,
or other program or activity."
In addition, there can be no
discrimination in "evaluation,
discipline, counseling of students;
making available to students any
housing, eating, health, or
service; affording work opportunities, or scholarship, loan,
or other financial assistance to
students; and making available
for the use of students any building, or other facility or
property."
How will these regulations
institutions which, like Ole
Miss, do not seem to be complying with all these provisions
right now? Exact arrangements
will vary with the institution, according to Mr. Keppel. In general, however, the currently
college or university
signing the pledge will soon have
to come up with a satisfactory
plan for compliance, he said.
Should the university's plan
el

Of-fiv-

recre-tion-

al

ned or actual compliance procedures appear to violate the Civil
Rights Act, a complex set of
machinery will be set into action
and might finally lead to a withdrawal of funds or a refusal to
grant new aid under any federal
program in which the
requirements have
been violated.
Anyone may report violations
of Title VI. An investigation of
the alleged violations must then
be conducted. Then, if any violation is confirmed, "informal
persuasion and conciliation must
be attempted to secure voluntary
compliance.
If informal efforts fail, formal methods begin. There must
be an opportunity for a hearing and a formal finding must
be made that Title VI has been
violated. Further, a full written
report must be made to the Congressional committee with jurisdiction over the program in question. Funds may not be cutoff
for at least 30 days after the report has been filed. Judicial review of the final order can also
besought.
The stakes in college and university compliance are high. Federally assisted programs are absorbing over $3.6 billion in over
2,100 institutions this year.
This sum includes $1.2 billion for facilities, $1.1 billion
for research and devlopment; $515
million for training teachers,
scientists, and other needed skilled professional; $300 million for
new educational programs; $290
million for student aid; and some
$100 million for international education activities.
The rate of return of the nondiscrimination pledges has been
considered relatively high so far
and is expected to be nearly 100
percent.
No institution has yet told
the Office of Education that it
will not sign the pledge. Only
one has told the National Science
Foundation that it will not do
so.

John T. Wilson, deputy director of the NSF, said that the
NSF has received over 100 of
the 1400 compliance forms it sent
out.
Since NSF funds are not as
widely distributed as the Office
of Education's, the NSF forms
went to about 700 fewer schools
than the Office of Education's
did.

Many Americans are concerned about the ease of life in our
country today and what it may do to dji children. Will the
"soft living" of our times bring a continuing decline in their
physical and moral stamina? This could happen if our children
aren't encouraged to develop their bodies as well as their
minds. Parents should insist on a minimum of 15 minutes of
vigorous activity each school day for cv ry boy and every
girl. Tell your school officials about your concern. Tor information about a program that your school any tihool JX--

segments of the campus have begun

Founder's Day represents only the beginning.
If the University fails to make
ready for that second century that
approaches both with lightning speed
and uncertainty, it will be due in
some measure to a misunderstanding
of what this Centennial means.
That the whole Centennial program stands in danger of becoming
the campus joke is most unfortunate.
Everyone realized that the actual
planning of the Centennial began
only a year ago and that something
of a miracle must have taken place
to get it off the ground at all.
Hut this realization does little to
quiet the nerves and hurt feelings
of those who are encouraged to quickly plan a
program and then
are forced to wait and wait for action
on their suggestions.
This year is potentially the greatest

be unfortunate if unanswered phones,
delayed messages, and confused replies obscured that potential.

versities.

Therein lies the deeper significance
of this day.

If the University's forebearers were
often unaware of the chalenges they
should have been facing, today's leaders are painfully aware of the responsibility society has thrust their way.
President Oswald has characterized
the University's role as that of "both
servant and leader of society."
This noble aim cannot be met
with the machinery of the past. The
Centennial, then, comes as a time for
reflection and planning. Rather than
a celebration of the past, it becomes
the keynote for the future.
The Administration has been at
work presenting some new machinery
that, hopefully, will do the job required of a state university in the
coming century.
