Guide’s criticism causes
chamber to take self-look
The Evening Optimist Club
held a forum last Wednesday to
discuss a recent article in
“Brown’s Guide to Georgia” in
which Augusta was described
as “overly conservative, always
maintaining the status quo.” It
also criticized the chamber of
commerce for reluctance in
boosting and developing the
city.

Black college presidents
seek help from Carter
WASHINGTON, D.C. - A
delegation of 19 college
presidents and executives
representing 105 public and
private historically-Black
colleges and universities
recently met with President
Jimmy Carter at the White
House to discuss some of the
major issues affecting Black
colleges and to seek his support.
Dr. Charles A. Lyons,
President of the National
Association for Equal
Opportunity in Higher
Education, and Dr. Prezell R.
Robinson, President, United
Negro College Fund, issued a
joint statement following their
meeting with President Carter:
“The Administration in
Washington must remain
sensitive to the unique needs of
historically-Black colleges,
which have produced the
majority of Black college
graduates in this country.
“President Carter has left no
doubt about his personal
commitment to these schools.
Under his leadership, we now
expect to see a strong
commitment to Black colleges
reflected in the formulation of
policy, in creation of new
programs, and in the evaluation
of old programs as they relate
to historically-Black schools.
“We are hopeful that
positive creative approaches to
the problems of Black colleges
are going to be implemented at
every level of government.
“Working closely with
administration officials, we can
assure the preservation and
enhancement of
historically-Black colleges -a
vital national resource.”

people, but we don’t have good

Augusta are way down in
apathy.”
News-Review Vice President
Philip Waring centered his
remarks on County
In addition to Dr. Lyons and
Dr. Robinson, the meeting
with Mr. Carter was attended
by others including: Dr.
Luther H. Foster, Tuskegee
Institute, Ala.; Dr. Elias Blake,
Clark College, Ga.; Dr.
Benjamin Mays, President
Emeritus, Morehouse College,
Ga.; Dr. Hugh Gloster,
Morehouse College; and Dr.
Henry Ponder, Benedict
College. S.C. Also in
attendance were Dr. Samuel L.
Myers, Executive Director,
National Association for Equal
Opportunity in Higher
Education (NAFEO) and
Christopher F. Edley,
Executive Director, United
Negro College Fund (UNCF).
“Since the administration of
John F. Kennedy, we have
sought the personal
commitment of each president
‘to the security of the
historically-Black
Institutions,”’ said Dr. Charles
Lyons, President of NAFEO.
“Support and endorsement
offered by the President and
his entire administration
directly affects the public’s
image of predominantly-Black
schools and influence our
ability to grow and progress,”
he said.
Black colleges and
universities enroll
approximately one-quarter of
all Blacks attending college,
but they award almost half of
the undergraduate degrees
earned by Blacks nationally.
“Few American institutions
have provided as many
opportunities for
disadvantaged youngsters and
have the predonantly-Black

Mclntyre’s runoff loss to
newcomer Bill Hiers. He called
Mclntyre’s defeat “an
unfortunate happening” and a
“form of racism.”'
colleges,” explained Dr. Prezell
R. Robinson, President of the
UNCF.
More than 50% of the
nation’s Black business
executives and elected officials
are alumni of Black colleges, as
are 75% of Black Americans
with Ph.D. degrees, 75% of
Black military officers, 80% of
Black Federal judges and 85%
of Black physicians.
One source of Federal
program aid to historically-
Black colleges and universities
is Title 111 of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, which
is administered by the
Department of Health, |
Education and Welfare. This
Act has enabled many
predominantly-Black colleges
to establish educational
programs considered vital to
the national interests.
For example, 23 of the
private predominantly-Black
collegs have set up dual-degree
engineering programs to help
meet the need for minority
engineers. Before 1965, no
programs like this existed .
On public Black college
campuses, Title 111 fund
enabled minority faculty
members to complete their
doctoral degrees, upgrading
their faculty and modernizing
the curricula.
There has been neither
participation of Black colleges
in most other governmental
programs. “We hope to work
toward a more equitable
participation at all agency
levels in the Federal
government,” stated Dr.
Samuel Myers, Executive
Director of NAFEO.
