Higher education came to
a standstill in the Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania area after the
nuclear accident at the Three
Mile Island reactor.
According to a report in
the Chronicle of Higher
Education, eight colleges
closed their campuses during
the recent crisis. While
nuclear engineers worked to
stop radiation leaks, college
administrators dealt with
student leaks -- the aban
donment of campuses despite
the lack of danger to the
students.
The primary reason for
the departure of the students
was the fear of their parents --
who also forced closings of
public schools.
At Dickinson College,
administrators closed the
school after over forty percent
of the students left on their
own in a panic.
College officials took
radiation readings at the
campus which proved that
there was no danger, but
students still felt compelled to
leave.
Millersville State College
officials attribute parental
pressure, not nuclear
radiation danger, as the
reason they elected to shut
down for a week.
At Franklin and Marshall
College and at York College,
parents were concerned about
the fact that those colleges
were slated as evacuation
centers -- and rumors were
rampant that massive
evacuations were in the
making.
Other colleges forced to
close included Pennsylvania
State University, Capitol
Campus; the Messiah College,
Harrisburg Area Community
College, and Elizabethtown
College.
The nuclear disaster did
stimulate the professors and
students who did stick around.
Faculty were kept busy either
teaching about or learning
about nuclear energy.
Area engineering
ternational coalitions with the
brothers and sisters of the
Diaspora, will be platformed
in the 20 seminars scheduled.
Leslie Harriman, Am
bassador of Nigeria and
chairman of the United
Nations Committee Against
Apartheid, will keynote the
gala Awards Banquet on June
29, 1979.
Minister Louis Farrakhan
will address the conveners at
the Conference Breakfast,
June 30th, and Congressman
Parren Mitchell will keynote
the Conference Luncheon,
June 29th.
professors instantly became
experts for the media.
For sociology students at
Dickinson College, the panic
atmosphere of the Harrisburg
area proved to be interesting
to study. They interviewed
area residents to analyze their
exaggerated fears and
emotions during the crisis.
They found people who,
among other things, thought
they smelled radiation during
the crisis.
The nuclear accident at
Three Mile Island was a
welcome cache of ammunition
for the anti-nuclear power
activists across the country.
Throw in the excellent timing
of the release of The China
Syndrome, a highly rated
movie about a nuclear
disaster - about the climate
was excellent for protest.
At Columbia University in
New York, administrators
finally gave up on attempts to
activate their instructional
nuclear reactor.
The reactor, built in 1968
at a cost of $500,000 of federal
money, has not been in
operation because of legal
battles with campus and area
opponents of the reactor.
Although Columbia
University has won each of its
court cases over the reactor
situation, appeals have tied up
usage of the plant.
The reactor was to be
used by faculty members to
teach students how reactors
are built and used. While not
in operation, the reactor has
virtually no educational
value.
Labor Pool Shrinking
Decreasing enrollments
in colleges, caused by the end
of the “baby-boom” also
means fewer newcomers to
the labor force. A large
consulting firm that surveyed
360 plants has found that 93
percent reported increasing
turnover rates and 70 percent
had to lower standards in
order to fill openings. That
also means jobs in many
areas are getting easier to
find.
Altogether, six Special
Events are slated, one of
which will be a Celebrity
Disco to highlight and enjoy
the sociability of the notable
personalities who will be on
hand.
The three-day event will
be chaired by such
distinguished Black
Americans as Marcia
Gillespie, editor of Essence
magazine, and actor Louis
Gossett, Jr., only two of the
eight Chairpersons who will
host the conveners.
This Conference of
renown black scholars and
professionals promises to be
the most significant event
held to date on the issues
confronting the members of
the African Diaspora.
The public is invited to
attend. For further in
formation, please write or

3741 Stocker St., Suite 211-212,
Los Angeles, California 90008,

Professor
Fired
A medical school
professor at Stanford
University has been fined
$2,000 for striking two
students while teaching.
Stanford said his behavior,
which occurred in two
separate incidents, showed
“acute disregard, if not
contempt, for scholarly in
teraction and is demeaning to
student and faculty alike.”
Boston University has the
largest unionized faculty in
the country, so negotiations
between faculty and ad
ministrators have drawn
national attention.
Collective bargaining is a
dirty word to college ad
ministrators, but it may be a
word they will have to get
used to - if the Boston College
situation is an indicator.
The university professors,
members of the American
Association of University
Professors, voted over
whelmingly to accept a
contract giving them a 32.4
percent raise over the next
three years.
