Students, Not States, (From Page 1) Some states, he added, have had to increase their aid to students even though they already lose money by giving the stu dents low in-state tuition. Still, many state col leges have learned to be more efficient during the era. They raise money by forging lucrative partner ships with local business es, by mounting on going and sophisticated fundraising campaigns and even by licensing their logos. Politics Aside, Black, White Students Stay Segregated On U.S. Campuses by Janet Singleton activist Jessica Fowler, 7. Toxic Dump. You probably know that cigarettes threaten your life. What you may not know is that last year, 320,000 Americans died from the toxic substances in cigarettes. So why don’t you join the Great American Smokeout on November 17. All you have to do is dump cigarettes for the day. You may decide to quit for life. Every quiti’er is a winner. The Great American Smokeout. Nov. 17. I: AAAERICAN CANCER SOCIETY' Created as a public service by McCaffrey and McCall, Inc. (CPS)- Last April, as campus race relations strained and blundered into confrontation at scores of schools, Princeton University senior Michelle Marsh went to a demonstration aimed at clearing the air. "It was called 'Breaking Down Bar riers,”' Marsh recalled. "The crowd that showed up was very integrated." The show of brother hood, however, didn't last. "Afterward, there was a dinner for the organizers, and I wound up being the only black student in the group. It (integration) broke down once again," said Marsh. Her experience wasn't atypical. Black and white students may be friendlier to each other, but social segregation stubbornly remains the normal cam pus arrangement, students, faculty members and soci ologists say. Even the well-integrat- ed anti-apartheid move ment -- which concluded nationally organized, fair ly quiet rallies at scores of campuses the first week of October — has failed to keep black and white stu dents from retreating to separate comers of school after the meetings end. "Regardless of color," explained Monica Ed wards of Wesleyan University's Black Student Union, "you're going to sit with your friends." "We're not Utopia," addCx'" Tom Frye of the University of Chicago's Students for Divestment, whose members also tend to separate by race after their common work is done. He maintained, however, that "whether people sit at separate tables in a lunchroom is irrelevant." Others aren't so sure. "Both sides can be frustrated by the lack of integration," sighed Betsy Lancefield of Stanford's Students for a Free South Africa. It's just "the social realities of racial separate ness," maintained Chris Jones of the University of Michigan's Black Student Union. Dr. Jacqui Wade of Bennett College in Greensboro, N.C., also observed that the "inte grated, unified" anti apartheid movement still hasn't had a social impact on students' "everyday lives." "We may go to a demonstration together," added University of Colorado anti-apartheid "but the next day we don't hang out together. I don't know if that's a racial issue or not." Many students and observers find the social segregation okay because it seems to be voluntary. Cornell University pro fessor and anti-apartheid activist Dr. Scott McMillin doesn't "think that is a form of segrega tion if by segregation you mean an enforced code that nobody dares to vio late." Indeed, Michigan's Jones thinks the social separateness is explained by people tending "to relate to whom they are comfortable with. I am more comfortable with other persons of Afro- American descent." "Minority students," McMillin said, "have a reason to stick together because they share an experience and a point of view that other students don't share with them." University of Mas sachusetts Prof. Meyer Weinberg, who has been compiling data about U.S. campus race relations for 25 years, concurs, "I per sonally do not like sepa rate seating, either volun tary or not. On the other hand, to black students, this may be one of the areas on campus in which they decide what they want to do themselves." "I don't think this kind of decision is a separatist one about life," Weinberg added. Instead, it's the black students' way of saying, "'We don't think this is a very friendly place.' I think this is pretty average for higher educa tion." Nevertheless, some activists think the anti apartheid movement has helped mix the races at their campuses. "When we eat togeth er," reports Ann Ferrand of Western Michigan University's South African Solidarity group, "it's blacks and whites togeth er." Marsh says social cir cles at Princeton are becoming more integrated "as Princeton attracts more middle- and upper- middle class black stu dents" who are use to min- ghng with whites. At Yale, activist Hosea Baskin said, the "people who do political work together also spend time on a social level together." And in spite of the sep arateness on other cam puses, "everyone wants to be optimistic" that integra tion can occur, Stanford's Lancefield said.
