Typically, an historic black college now has over 10 percent of its student body and double that of its faculty who are white. But the state universities that barred blacks until forced to admit them, that are now called "integrated" only -because their doors are supposedly open to blacks, have perhaps five percent blacks in their student body anH a Karo Kanilful ^ i ? v*m v i luituiu 1 U1 UlttWJW faculty. Desegregation was a deceptive cover to dismiss black school principals and faculty so that white teachers couldget their jobs all over the South a decade ago. That can't be allowed to happen to the historic black college. When we see blacks appointed presidents of major southern state colleges that had been white strongholds, then it will be time enough to talk about white leadership in the traditional black public college. But there's an affirmative side too._ Black colleges have educated generations of ppor kids other schools fail with. They have developed an ^YnPfticA QflH ?a?|rw* ??WV U11U JUVWV33IU1 tradition of quality education that can enable them to educate future generations of both whites and blacks who are poor. Many predominately white colleges have failed to educate both blacks and whites who are poor. So the traditional black public college is J. a ! i#* v*?*?#.?'* i *??* **"! ?

And within those traditionally black colleges, the public institutions that were born in segregation and are now being reborn into an integrated society should be strengthened, expanded, and encouraged to retain their historic identity. One hundred presidents of predominately black colleges recently issued a call for a 25-year program of federal assistance to bring those colleges the aid they need to close the education gap between whites and blacks. While much attention has been paid to the constantly rising numbers of black youth entering college, the numbers f\f \i;V?ifnc Unr ? ?

It is clear that the traditional black college has an important role to play in the future and the case for a federal program designed to help these schools fulfill their historic mission is overwhelming. But doubts have arise% about the future status of a particular group of historic Klflrlr nnllpnoc ? * ? w?Mwn WI1V0V>J| kllV OtalfdUp* ported public institutions founded as part of state segregated dual higher education systems. Because these schools are public, not private, they are now under pressures that threaten their existence. The courts have ruled, rightly, that dual educational systems have to be dismantled and state-supported colleges integrated. What then should become of the historic black public college? To integrate it to the point that it loses its character and those unique qualities that m oHo if c/\ ? ? niuuv n JU CI UC1<11 <111 institution for the black community would be a tragic mistake. It would amount to a death sentence that forces upon the victims of segregation the burdens of integra tion. It would be far wiser for^ desegragation to be managed in such a way that the public traditional black college, while integrating its faculty and student bodies, retains strong black leadership much of its historic orientation rat ?
