I I "We all know the Federal Government has a troublesome history of issuing Federal orders with no teeth in them," President Ronald Reagan said at the White House luncheon where he efmot*need the Black colleges and universities obtain equal opportunities in federally sponsored programs. "Well, this one >yill be heard from again," the president declared. "And they better pass." "In an era of budget cuts," he said, "Black colleges and universities will receive an increase of $9.6 million in federal funds." This historic landmark was announced'just two weeks before Black. College Day 481 and exactly one year from the day that_Lfirst met with him ac *u ^wivimaiui U1 IIJC CaahUQli for Black-Collgflgs ahnnr^ hie plane, enroute from Baltimore to Knoxvitle, to explain why as a candidate for president he should support ihfljfi.schools. * * It >yas then/Tony, that the President began his educa this, issue. We come, as ygp^know^-tom-aWestern state where there are no black colleges. Thanks for helping to sensitize us on this vital issue," a highplaced White House source said during the ceremonies. But it was really the 20,000 students, alumni and church people who hit the pavement in Washington, D.C. last year for Black College Day who made the difference. Since this dramatic support of the nation's Black colleges, a movement to stop the phony desegregation plans and budget cuts under Jimmy Carter from 5.2 percent to 4.0 percent share of the total higher education budget has galvanized itself into a formidable force. A major factor in the success of this endeavor has been the invaluable assistance and behind . the scenes manuevering of White House Senior Policy Advisor Mel \ NMMIY VIEW hope to reap the list of insight and vision because, it is all in the at- Naomi C. McLean titude and point of view. The key to real living is constant progress, and we have to look below the surface if we want to find the real meaning of life. In order to do straight thinking, we have (p think well and put our well tMnkmg traction. An ofd saying: "No man ever1 stepsinto the saiTN?'Tlver twice." The man changes, and the river flows ceaselessly on. It is so with our lives. We ourselves change as time goes on. We need constantly to adapt our thinking to the new developments that bring constant changes in our environment and in the world. Have you ever wondered why is it that so many people seem to be content to go on day after day with the least possible e*pCTTdUure of real thought? The reason is, that thinking is hahd^work. and the shirkers are so constituted that they trytoavojd hard work. n ii a pci^n warns iu gei somewnere auring me as to reaching a goal, he must learn to work thoughtfully, accurately, and continuously; when these basic qualities are mastered, his mind can function well for new ideas. Sowing the seed to reap benefits - it is not enough, however, merely to keep busy; but it is also vitally important that we work with all our mind and thoughts concentrated on what we are doing, and work accurately - of course, no person is born with the quality of accuracy. It is a habit that has to be developed by each. Some people are rolling stones. They drift from this to that, never work continuously - always looking for something that doesn't exist. They never come to a realization of the importance of doing to the very best of their ability the task that lies at hand, and then go on from that point. They work by fits and starts; they begin something and then allow themselves to be distracted, therefore, the results are - they get nowhere, because they friter away their time. Under such circumstances, will the seed be sown and will the goal be reached? No, indeed not. Arriving at a decision amd making that decision effective in action will be the answer, positive or negative. iiinitiimiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiMMMiiiiMMMiiimiiiiiiiiiuiHiiiiiiiiiMimitmiiimiiMHsmiitsiii!

Spontaneous applause from the Black leaders at the announcement followed this Reagan statement: "It is Hthrough the education they offered that individuals-can make themselves into the type of people they ehoose to beinstead of what sbme central planner says they should be." ? Aiid-SQ-stTong-is-the^residentIs support th&t-he-toid-aiifederal agencies to submit "report cards" on assisting Black colleges. Secretary of Education Terrel Bell will supervise the annual development Of the order with each . agency submitting a mid-year progress report to the Secretary on its achievements. Also, each Black college president will be "given the opportunity to comment" on the proposed annual federal plan, the first of which is said to be ready by March 31, 1982, prior to presidential approval. Each agency must "submit annual reports on their progress to determine the extent to which Black colleges have been given an equal chance to participate in federally sponsored programs." One factor indicates just how sold President Reagan is on this issue. His own words: "It should never be forgotten that when educational opportunities were denied elsewhere, these institutions offered hoDe to Black Americans...and they did their job well." Another is the backdrop for his announcement. Just as he unveiled a harsh, second round of reducing federal spending by $16 billion, including deeper cuts in defense and painful cuts in education (already slashed by $12 billion or 30 percent) to keep the swollen budget deficit below $50 billion, Ronald Reagan made a commitment to increase funds to the nation's 107 predominately Black colleges by $9.6 million and to strengthen their participation in federal programs by assigning "measurable objectives." This is indeed a giant first step in fulfilling his campaign promise: "The plight of our Black colleges reminds us all of the unfinished work of bringing all disadvantaged groups into the mainstream of America. These colleges exemplify the truly American concept of self-help for those who choose to work and study in them. This is the message of Black College Day. I support it, 1 applaud it, and if 1 am elected President, 1 won't forget it."
