Continued From p. 1
< It is unlikely HEW will reject outright the
••segregation plan submitted by the regents,
riedman said.
“It is likely they will agree with parts and
tiagree with parts and we will negotiate with
•em. Our prime concern is to not give up our
ftcational standard My guess is HEW will
id a great deal in our response they like.” he
pid.
• The confrontation at the July 28 meeting
curred shortly after the public part of the
eeting began The regents had met in closed
r saion for an hour before calling the meeting
t order, further irritating already strained
lotions, Patrick said.
The first of the three coalition members
I dressed the regents after Jones of Columbus
• Id of a meeting in Washington with HEW
flcials concerning the new guidelines
Modibo Kadalie, a faculty member of Atlanta
inior College, said the regents perpetuated
! gregation in the University System schools.
ALL OF YOU say you are not racists, but
>u continue to condone and enforce racist
>licies which perpetuate racism,” Kadalie
• lid
Patrick then presented a list of proposals to
e board for consideration in developing the
desegregation plan.
The third and last coalition member to
kiress the regents was Arthur Collins, a
udent at Atlanta Junior College.
“In the last 14 years (since the Civil Rights
• ct of 1964) nothing has been done and I feel
>thing will be done.” Collins said. “We are
llling for the chancellor’s resignation Regents
hancellor George Sipipson). We don’t feel that
i iy progressive action can be brought about as
»ng as he is chancellor,” he said.
APPLAUSE 1IAD followed the remarks of all
V»e coalition members by their attending
. upporters. When Collins finished, board
chairjnan Charles Oxford of Albany called for a
five minute recess.
Upon reconvening the meeting, Oxford said
he realized the meeting was emotional, but
order would have to be maintained.
“There will be no more applause or
questions,” Oxford said
Collins immediately asked how students
would be able to have input into the
deliberations. Oxford tried to quiet Collins but
the Atlanta student continued to speak loudly
It was then Oxford motioned state security
officers to eject Collins Collins’ friends came
to his aid, more guards moved in and the
confrontation began. It lasted for several
minutes, but was brought under control by
other students and members of the board. No
one was injured and no arrests were made
The meeting resumed and the regents
discussed enrollment figures and ways to meet
goals set forth in the guidelines.
LESS THAN a week after the confrontation,
the Atlanta-Journal-Constitution Sunday edition
reported that six of the regents belong to
all-white clubs, including chairman Oxford. Dr.
John H. Robinson III of Americus, James D.
Maddox of Rome, Charles Harris of Ocilla and
O. Torbitt Ivey Jr., of Augusta
Two other of the board's 16 members are
black.
Oxford, one of three men who founded the
all-white Doublegate Country Club near
Albany, said he didn’t think blacks would
distrust him because of his ties to the club.
He said he was “100 per cent for integration”
and wanted blacks to "get into college and
have every opportunity to get an educaion.”
All six of the regents named denied that their
club memberships would affect their
responses to the court-ordered desegregation.
The plan was submitted by the required Sept
1 deadline and HEW has 120 days from that
date to respond to the proposals.

allowed the regents 21 days
from the receipt of their letter

staff members to inquire if
they could get an extension
until their next meeting
