More black graduates pursuing business studies
the business sector.
The 1979 Annual Statistical
Report just released by the
United Negro College Fund,
Inc. reports that business is the
most popular field of study at
Page 2
the UNCF’s forty-one private,
predominantly-black colleges.
Business majors accounted for
almost one quarter of the
degrees granted in 1978, a
dramatic increase over a decade
ago when less than 7 percent of
the graduates received business
degrees.
“Our students are looking at
opportunities in the job market
and are making very
sophisticated choices about
their futures,” said Christopher
F. Edley, Executive Director of
the United Negro College
Fund. “Business recruiters are
confirming the wisdom of
these choices because they hire
a large number of UNCF
graduates right out of school.”
The Annual Statistical
Report is produced by the
United Negro College Fund’s
Director of Research, Alan
Kirschner.

Punch 46 Wed. Oct. 10 th
Only 10 years ago, the most
sought-after major at private
black colleges was education
(over 40 percent of all
baccalaureate degrees in
1969-70). By 1978, teaching
had dropped to second place
behind business. Other majors
quickly gaining popularity,
reports the study, are
engineering (through 26
dual-degree engineering
programs), health and
medicine, chemistry and
communications.
Providing facilities,
publications, and faculty for
these newly popular majors has
not been easy. The financial
resources necessary to create or
t ra n s f orm academic
departments in a short amount
of time are scarce at private
black colleges. According to
the UNCF report, the average
revenue for a private black
college in 1977-78 was slightly
over $6.2 million. But UNCF
schools had to rely on sources
other than tuition for the bulk
of that income.
“In 1975-76, the most
recent year for which data are
available, the nation’s small
private colleges received 63
percent of their revenue from
tuition. In comparison, the
largest share of tuition revenue
at private black colleges in
recent years was 37.8 percent
in 1977-78,” the report
explained.
Tuition resources at UNCF
schools are low because the
financial resources of their
students are minimal. For
instance, in 1978, over half the
applicants to UNCF colleges
came “from families whose
annual parental incomes were
less than $9,000, compared to
only 13.7 percent of
college-bound seniors
nationally.” Only 5 percent of
prospective UNCF freshmen
come from families with
annual incomes of $30,000 or
more
Even more to the point,
Announcement

Frank A. Albert, that the Consortium has made
application to the U.S. Department of Labor for a

the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act

experience and classroom training for Displaced
Homemakers. The Program which will serve 46
participants will be operated from November 1,
1979 through October 31, 1980.
Anyone wishing to review the grant application in
its entirety should contact Mr. Michael H. Taylor,
Administrator, at 209 7th Street, Augusta, Ga
between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M. or

“the median expected parental
contribution of prospective
UNCF freshmen was $380” in
1978, compared with college
bound seniors nationally,
whose median parental
contribution was expected to
be $1,140.
The results of this inequity
is that UNCF colleges and
universities rely more on
private contributions to
balance their budgets than do
small private colleges
nationally. In 1977-79, private
gifts and grants accounted for
19.1 'percent of total revenues
at the private predominantly
black colleges. In 1975-76 (the
latest year for which figures
were available), only 16
percent of revenues at small
private colleges nationally were
derived from similar gifts. The
millions of dollars raised
annually by the United Negro
College Fund is one of the
sources providing
predominantly-black colleges
with these important private
funds.
Another way in which
UNCF colleges and universities
are trying to achieve parity
with small colleges nationally is
through increasing endowment
funds.
“Between 1971-72 and
1977-78 endowments have
risen from $81,767,768 to
$118,015,773 -a 443 percent
Grand jury to investigate
killing of 17-year-old
A Richmond County Grand
Jury is expected to investigate
the Sept. 13 slaying of a
17-year-old youth by- an
off-duty Augusta policeman.
The investigation was
requested by a comer’s jury
which heard testimony in the
case last week.
So far, testimony has
supported Officer Louie
Parrilla’s contention that he
was justified in the shooting of
Sherman Dukes.

King center gets
$2 million grant
WASH. D.C. - Secretary of
Commerce Juanita M. Kreps
has announced approval of a
$2 million grant to help
expand the Martin Luther King
Jr., Center for Social Change
and stimulate the revitalization
of the historic Auburn Avenue
minority neighborhood in
Atlanta.
The Martin Luther King Jr.
Center for Social Change
applied for the grant from the
Commerce Department’s
Economic Development
Administration.
The funds will be used to
help construct a conference
center as the first phase of a
Freedom Hall Complex to be
developed adjoining the Martin
Luther King Jr., crypt and the
Ebenezer Baptist Church on
increase.” However,
endowment per student for the
last academic year studied was
$2,540 at UNCF schools, less
than half the national figure of
$4,958 in 1975-76 (the most
recent figure available).
Priscilla Shepherd, both said
that Dukes pointed a shotgun
at Parrilla after assaulting a
man walking along Augusta
Avenue.
Dukes also fired the gun in
the air before pointing it at
Parrilla and threatening him,
they said.
Five shots were fired from
Parrilla’s service revolver.
Parrilla has been suspended
without pay since the incident
pending a full investigation.
Auburn Avenue, just southeast
of the city’s central business
district.
The two-story masonry and
glass facility will contain an
auditorium, conference center
with suites, exhibition hall,
reference library, bookshop,
information center, case and
lounge.
Covered walkways will
connect the building to the
church and crypt.
EDA approved the grant in
support of the job
development goals set in the
Comprehensive Economic
Development Strategy (CEDS)
for Atlanta. The CEDS process
seeks to link public
expenditures with plans for the
investment of private funds to
create jobs.
Local officials anticipate
that the project will create jobs
by encouraging an increase in
toqrism and convention trade.
They add that the new
facility will serve as an
inducement for the
revitalization of businesses and
new jobs in the “Sweet
Auburn” community, which is
Atlanta’s oldest black-minority
business district and
neighborhood.
Auburn Street is located in
an area designated by the EDA
as a Special Impact Area
because of extremely high rates
of unemployment.
The Martin Luther King Jr.
Center for Social Change will
provide $3,600,000 to
complete the $5,600,000 total
cost of the construction.
