Decision On Medgar Evers
College Called An Affront
NEW YORK - The President
of the National Conference of
Christians and Jews has called
the recent vote by the New
York City Board of Higher
Education on Hostos and
Medgar Evers Colleges “an
affront to the minority
communities they were
established to serve.”
Dr. David Hyatt, in a
statement on the controversial
plan which has led to the
resignation of board members
E. Franklin Williams, termed
the latter’s action
“courageous” and said that the
act expressed the “widespread
feeling that the opportunity
for minority and poor people
provided by City University for
so long, now will become a
receding dream for too many
thousands of New York’s
young people.”

Lionel Hampton

Os The Common Man
World reknowned musician
and jazz great Lionel Hampton
has added another position to
his wide and varied list of
accomplishments. A dedicated
and life-long Republican,
Hampton was recently
appointed to a key position
within the President Ford
Campaign.
Special Assistant to the
President, John Calhoun,
announced Hampton’s
appointment as Director of
Special Events, Black Citizens
for President Ford.
Hampton, who is very active
in the church, contributes
much time to the welfare of
youth organizations. He will
have a nation wide
responsibility among
entertainers, civic, fraternal
and social groups, according to
Calhoun.
In a statement accepting his
new position Hampton praised
President Ford for his
leadership of all people.
“I am very honored to
accept this important job to
work for a great leader and a
good friend of the common
man and all people of goodwill.

Public Hearing On Aging
A public hearing on the State
Plan for Programs on Aging
will be held in Augusta on May
13, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the
Performing Arts Theatre,
Augusta College.
Augusta is one of three
Georgia * cities where public
hearings on the plan are being
held. The two other cities
chosen for public hearings this
year are Atlanta and Valdosta.
Present at the hearing to
explain the plan and to
conduct * the hearing will be
Kay Jemigan, director of the
Department of Human
Resources’ Office of Aging.
Other members of the resource
panel will include State and
local officials and
representatives from the aging
staff of the CSRA Planning and
Development Commission.
Each year the Department
of Human Resources’ Office of
Aging submits a State Plan on
Aging to the Governor. The
Plan outlines the Office’s
proposed activities for the
coming fiscal year in the area
of programs and services for
the State’s more than half
milion residents age 60 and
over.

College and the reduction of
Brooklyn’s Medgar Evers
College from a four-year to a
two-year institution, is an
affront to the Minority
communities they were
established to serve,” stated
Dr. Hyatt
The NCCJ President
emphasized the fact that a
tuition-free higher education
had opened the “doors of
opportunity and achievement
to the poor of the city,” and
had been the salvation of
thousands, including the
current New York City Mayor.
“It seems totally
unconscionable now to
victimize the minority young
people of this generation who
finally see an avenue of upward
mobility and increasing
expectations,” Dr. Hyatt said.
“We recognize that the fiscal
crisis necessitates paring of
And that man is President
Gerald Ford,” Hampton said.
Known for his patriotism,
Hampton has been one of the
country’s top band leaders over
the past 30 years. Hampton
stated, “I will be working with
the church, masons, shriners
and entertainers who share my
views and want to support
President Ford.”
Hampton has travelled
extensevely around the world
as an Ambassador of Goodwill
for the U.S. State Department.

budgets, higher education
included,” he added. “But it
seems that the burden of
suffering is not equitable.”
“When 40 per cent of the
minority students attending
the City University system
under the open admissions
program are effectively
eliminated from the system
under Chancellor Kibbee’s
plan, it is indeed suspect,” he
declared.
Continuing Dr. Hyatt said,
“It has been reported that
under the newly accepted
Kibbee admissions plan, 66 per
cent of the Black and 57 per
cent of the Puerto Rican
students that enrolled in 1971
would be barred, as against
only 37 percent of the white
students now enrolled.
“These startling figures
make it even more incumbent
upon the policy and decision
makers to provide the requisite
methods necessary to
improving the skills of those
young men and women who
wish to enter the university.”
Dr. Hyatt observed that the
understated official
unemployment rate for Black
teenagers is 41 per cent and
that the rate is even higher for
Puerto Rican youth.
“The City University must
continue to provide New
York’s young people,
especially the minority youth,
with their last exit from the
road of despair, cynicism and
hopelessness which is inherent
in the above shocking
unemployment figures,” said
Dr. Hyatt.
“I urge the Board of Higher
Education to reconsider its
vote on the Kibbee plan. There
must be a better way.”
Davis were chosen delegates to
represent the Chapter along
with their advisor, Mrs.
Elizabeth Wilson.
Since this year is the
bicentennial year, the Future

theme, “Future Homemakers,

At the convention, the
Tubman Chapter was awarded
“Honor Roll”, which is an
award to chapters that meet
certain requirements during the
year. All Honor Roll Chapters
were guests at a fashion show
and coke party.
CETA
Program
Extended
The CSRA Manpower
Consortium has been awarded
a supplemental allocation
under Title 11, in the amount
of $1,237,810, in order to
transfer and continue to
employ Title VI participants in
the CETA Program from July
1, to Dec. 31, 1976, County
Commission Chairman Edward
M. Mclntyre announced last
week.
It is the hope of the chief
elected officals in the 13
county consortium that the
continuance of this Public
Service Employment program
will benefit each county
activity and serve to decrease
the amount of unemployed
and underemployed
populations in the CSRA, he
said.
Commissioner Mclntyre said
that in addition to the
tranfering of current Title VI
participants into Title 11, and
carrying them through 1976
that there may be a minimal
amount of surplus funds to
hire additional personnel in
public service employment.

Suit Charges Violation Os Fair
Housing Act In Virginia
The Department of Justice
has filed a civil suit and a
consent decree requiring the
operator of The Homestead, a
Virginia resort, to desegregate
employe living quarters.
The suit charges Virginia
Hot Springs, Inc., which
operates The Homestead in
Hot Springs, with violating the
Fair Housing Act of 1968 by
racially segregating living
quarters it rents to employes.
About 30 percent of The
Homestead’s employes rent
rooms in cottages and
dormitories nearby. Most of
them are assigned to two
buildings, the Virginia Building
for whites and the Waiters’
Quarters for Blacks.
Last summer the hotel
employed about 492 whites
and 219 Blacks.
While denying it had
violated the law, the
corporation signed the decree
enjoing it from making any
dwelling unavailable on
account of race and from
identifying any dwelling for
employes of a particular race.
In addition, the hotel
operator is required for the
Criminal Justice Programs
Set At Nine Black Colleges
WASHINGTON - “Black
colleges and universities should
be the vanguard in the
nationwide push to reform the
criminal justice system,”
declared Dr. RomaUus O.
Murphy, President of Shaw
University at Detroit, as he
briefed officials of the Law
Enforcement Assistance
Administration (LEAA) on the
status of th LEAA funded
program.
Recently, a consortium of
nine predominantly Black
colleges and universities
received a $752,181 grant from
LEAA to develop criminal
justice education programs to
train Blacks and other
minorities to enter the
professional ranks in the
nation's criminal justice
system.
Dr. Murphy, who is also
vice-chairman of the Board of
POSITIVE FUTURES, Inc.,
the Washington-based planning
arm of the college consortium,
asserted: “This is the bold
departure for the traditionally
Black colleges. We must
provide the stimulus to
minority students at our
institutions to consider
alternative methods to the
existing criminal justice
system.”
Dr. Murphy explained that
the 18-month program is
“designed to strengthen
criminal justice programs to
attract minorities and
subsequently prepare them to
assume leadership roles in the
criminal justice system.”
Because the present criminal
justice system is so harsh to the
disadvantaged in this country,
Dr. Murphy said “minority
students,” whom he called the
“change-agents” in this area of
study, “should consider careers
in court administration,
treatment programs and other
areas that would lead toward
viable alternatives to
incarceration.”

Criminal Justice Project
Director at PFI, said the
