I THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1974 Gorj I Respoi By CHARLES T.BYRD JR. Cf ' la reaction to a variety of pressures, the business community has addressed itself w GUI uiu coacu CUUl'l LU ttjSHUUC o greater role towards social commitment. Non-economic objectives appear to be gaining ~ Thaaa HimHimOwW ?iir-h things as good working conditions, community image, consumer needs, contributions to civic causes and more recently, better employment for women and environmental concerns. Although the importance of achieving these objectives (and I hppe to present the implications of each in the future) cannot be overlooked, I believe the greatest emphasis in the programs of social responsibility should be directed towards minorities. The efforts of business cap be a major source in alleviating the disparity in treatment of minorities. There arc many available alternatives for the remedy of prior inequities. The provision of special opportunities for ? education and improvement through training and guidance to enable people to -effectively _____?-compete with others regardless of racial or cultural background is just, one example of compensating for-^ack of qualified applicants and Change To _Aid Students In College Changes In the procedures used to determine eligibility of college students for scholarship aid, may ease some of the financial burden of middle income parents. For years, low income student! have benefited most from the Parents Confidential Statement used to determine how much aid a college student can receive. Middle income parents usually qualified for little aid. "It has been shown that middle income families can have a neec too," said Walter R. Jacobs,Jr. assistant director of the College Entrance Examination Board': Southern Regional office. In Greensboro Wednesday for t College Board workshop at A&1 State University, Jacobs said the mathematical tables of the Parents Confidential Statement used nationwide to determine financial aid eligibility, are being changed to take intc / consideration the rising inflation > "The changes will also reflecl more accurately the ability ol families to bear the cost ol college," said Jacobs. He addressed more than 5( guidance counselors from arei high schools in the day-lonj session in Merrick Hall. Jacobs said the purpose of the workshops are to provide up-to date information on the College Board (CEEB) programs ant services and to provide a forurr for college and high *$choo administrators to discuss curren concerns. CEEB sets the policy for th< 0, SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) which colleges use to heli determine admissions. I Jacobs said the SAT is al? being modified to include a test o standard written English. Editor's Quote Book -? 1 believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail. William Faulkner mrn?m?mmmmmm?mmmm-m V >orate risibility | employe*. The U aditiurial rules of recruitment and hiring must be abandoned. Corporations cannot Just "advertise and wait for minority applicants, to. come in. The hundreds of years of nonparticipation have inbedded walls of attitudes and skepticism that are not easily scaled. The corporate tools for this elimb are high?schools?and colleges, training and hiring of hardcore employables, co-op programs, summer job programs, youth training tp improve the upward mobility of minorities. In addition, there are programs for better housing and increased minority entrepreneurship. Corporations may also loan capital or personnel with technical/expertise to aid the minority businessman^ - Government funds and federally assisted programs have also helped the business world to provide such assistance. In spite of all. , the ?best motivational device for minority workers is the presence of other ' minorities in responsible _ nrua s. [wsiuuiis. rnuiney x uuiig once said in conversation, "Black baseball players have never had any trouble getting to the park on time since they "heard , Willie Mays was earning more than $100,000 a year." . The sooner the business. community realizes Us investment in the economic and social progress of minorities, the sooner America can become the nation it purports to be. Although corporate interest in minority affairs seems to be dwindling in view of the pursuit Qf - other objectives. This very important area must be resolved. It's 1 neglect will prove , to be detrimental to the entire ' economy. '' 1 1 TP o /i it X Uof I M A ill Jet-Way S ' 1 1 Phone.] k. m m i _ Bill's !
