Belle BANKS BIAS AGAINST BIVIN Unfortunately too many big white owned banks are bad news for blacks and others trying hard to better themselves in a constructive manner in our society. Banks and blacks might debate the meaning of unemployment statistics, but the facts are that thecountry does not have enough jobs for all the people who want a position.. In addition, there is under employment --skilled people who cannot find jobs at the highest level they are capable of performing. This has an effect on the entire job mar ket. When people take sub stitute jobs for which they are over-qualified, there is a drowding downward. The blacks who are at the bottom rung of the job ladder get . no jobs at all. Eugene S. Bivins, III, a Perm State student, has a bigger beef to the banks. Brother Bivins says he can't get a government approved program loan for his educa tion from a bank. Following my article on Pay for Post Secondary Education, Bivins wrote to me. "Since 1974, I have tried to get a simple application to apply for a student loan," Bivins wrote.

But the problem for this black doctoral student still was not solved. Bivin has been to about ten banks as of February 28, 1977, the date of his letter, to obtain the applications blanks for government-backed . student loans. "They all cite a different policy" in refusing him. In Philadelphia, at the Indus trial Valley Bank, where Bivin deposits his own few dollars he quotes, "We could not ... . loan funds at seven per cent when we had to pay ten per cent or better in funds we had to borrow" (in 1974). "Every business in the marketplace has to make a profit to survive." These remarks rang to Bivin's ears as racist sounds. Because a white student in his class remarked in February that "Industrial Valley Bank is asking me if I don't want to renew my loan . . . but, I'm a senior: ; . . I'm graduating . . . ; I don't need it. It seems Brother Bivin has bumped into another hidden bias of banks. The racist undertones destroy even the most objective of well inten tioned social programs. Eugene S.

Congress should consider extending th the Equal Employment Opportunity Council juris diction to bring about justice for black students destined to be a part of the labor market. In the meantime, blacks are not unaware of the insti tutional racism running ram pant in the banking system. The Urban Bankers Coalition of Delaware Valley, UBCD) Post Office Box 7619, Phila delphia, Pa. 19101, Eugene, is an organization of black banking personnel who are willing to serve our people in the state of Pennsylvania. A.. Bruce Crawley, VP. First Pennsylvania Bank is president of UBCD. While the black bankers in Phila delphia, are just beginning to develop a black owned bank, their positions are high enough to secure a govern ment approved loan for a student.
