For the first time in the history of the republic, the
federal government is recognizing the true worth of one
of its most valuable and valued institutions.
Universities, Louisiana's two powerhouses for educating
Blacks, what can amount to over the next few years as
much as $125 million.
Attorneys for the U.S. Justice Department and Lousiana
hammered out a consent decree that will virtually
guarantee an equal college education for Blacks at Black
institutions without destroying the Black college in the
process. Under the former Justice Department and Office
of Civil RighlS-ijtmie Department of Education. heavily~~
under the influence of Jack Grcenherg's Whin*, liberal
dominated NAACP Legal Defense Fund (LDF), Black
education and the chances of a college degree were rapidly
sinking under the myth of racial integration.
Neither good racial relations not mot e Blacks finishing
college weie accomplished. Instead, Black colleges sucli
as Savannah State in Georgia, Central in Ohio, Cheyney
in Pennsylvania, Langston in Oklahoma, Morgan in
Maryland, Jackson State in Mississippi and a host of
< others were told to find a "new mission." Translated,

qualities that employers have cited as "dependability,"
' responsibility," "level-headedness," "more job devotion,"
and, of course, "better knowledge of business."
Sometimes the term used is, "balanced abilities." If you
have been away from, the field for a good while, possibly

because of disuse, get them back into top shape before
you start looking.
There are other points you need to think about when
having an interview, and a particular one is - don't make
an issue of your age. Emphasize your experience. You
don't need to volunteer your age, but if, of course, you

away, such makes it seem that there is a need for apology.
Be interested in "the" job rather than "a" job. It's a lot
more impressive to state exactly just what you want to do
instead of merely saying weakly that you're willing "to
do anything." This will only show a low estimation of
yourself.
Don't use your interviewer as an analyst. He doesn't
want to hear your troubles, or the full story of how you
arrived at your present sad plight. He's interested in your
future, not your past.
A personal recommendation before a formal application
can help to override the fact of maturity or 45-plus
appearing on an application blank. If you have a friend
who knows the quality of yow^work and can give you an
introduction you stand /( nmcn>^ter chance of being
considered. \
Show that you are flexible, be willin^to take tests, even
though you feel that your previous^xperience puts you
way above the beginners' categpfy. Don't argue about
such minor points. Your wiUmgness to cooperate will
make a favorable impression.
Make the most of your appearance. Dress smartly as
well as neatly. It shows that you still care.
With your "know how," your "experience," "your
cooperation," "your plus personality," "your punctuality,"
"your businesslike manner," "your appropriate appearance,"
"your proper hair styling," and everything
which spells - "Q UALIFICATIO N"?before you
realize it, you'll be employed again.

those in the save Black college movement. Governor
David C. Treen was the invisible hand guiding the settlement

The vast majority of Blacks are very supportive of the fi
Louisiana consent decree. Blacks in Louisiana, with the *
single exception of the NAACP, are ecstatic. The historic
leges, give a larger Black voice in higher education and
eliminate the threat that Grambling and Southern will be
submerged.
More Blacks will sit on the state's Board of Regents, an ^
