University straighten out the school's long-standing
financial tangle. The school's chancellor, Edward B.
Fort, said last week that he's "delighted," reported the
Greensboro News & Record.
"We are going to pull out all the stops to end this
decade-long problem in accounting," said Fort of the
financial bind he inherited when he came to A&T as
chancellor three years ago. .
Bryant Deaton, UNC's assistant vice president for
finance, will work full time to bring A&T's record up to
date and install a new computerized accounting system,
said UNC President William Friday.

WASHINGTON -- Of the journalists working for
America's 1,700 daily newspapers, less than 6 percent are
minorities, says a recent Associated Press wire report.
Only about 1,500 blacks, 650 Hispanics, 430 Asians
and 100 American Indians are included among the 50,000
journalists who work for the nation's dailies. Ninetyseven
percent of newspaper executives are white.
Minority journalists argue that newsrooms should be
integrated not only, to benefit minorities but to provide
more thorough news coverage.
"Almost two-thirds of newspapers don't even have a
token," says John Seigenthaler, head of the comn^ee
on minorities of the American Society of Newspaper
Editors. He is also editor and publisher of the Nashville
Tennessean, where he presides over an integrated
newsroom.
In 1977, a group of the nation's editors resolved to try
Bill would expand scope
WASHINGTON -- Members of the the Reagan administration
are choosing sides over a bill that would
broaden the scope of federal laws prohibiting discrimination
on the basis of race, sex, national origin, age and
handicap.
The bill would reverse a February Supreme Court deci
sion mat ruled that only a specific program or activity
receiving federal money is subject to federal law prohibiting
sex discrimination. The bill under consideration

Budget officials say they oppose the bill, calling it an unwarranted
expansion of federal authority. Civil rights officials
at the Education Department say they support it,
as do several moderate Republicans.
The bill has bipartisan support in both houses of Congress,
including Sen. Howard Baker, R-Tenn., the majority
leader.

Black Pope didn't
Q: In Hiy history class, there was a recent debate as to
whfether the Pope responsible for thfc Easter observance
was black or white. What was his race and who was he?
K.A.
A: According to Father Frank Canerow of Bishop
McGuiness High School, a local authority on the
Catholic Church, the Pope identified in the church's
historv^^-mit+atmg the observance of Easter as we know
;t was Pope Sylvester I, a Roman Catholic citizen, who
wis not black. He was responsible for changing the oncepagan
celebration of Easter into a religious observance in
325 A.D.
Since much of the early church was founded in northern
Africa, says Canerow, it would be easy to believe
that many of the church's first leaders were black.

Fort said the decision was the result of a thorough
review of A&T's financial woes, and that the review process
involved himself and UNC leaders.

The state auditor's office has been critical of A&T's accounting
procedures for years, charging the school with
disorganized books, unpaid bills and uncollected tuition^
Last year, it was disclosed that the school was $1.8
million in debt, much of it caused by sloppy accounting
records.
A new state audit of the university scheduled for late
May is also expected to be critical of A&T's financial
status, but not as harsh as the one released for the years
covering 1980-82.

by the year 2000 to make their staffs representative of the
U.S. population, which is 20 percent non-white.
But members of the ASNE minorities committee say
the odds of achieving that goal are "somewhere between
slim and none."
The reasons given for the lack of minority journalists
range from not enough to meet the demand to papers not
looking hard enough to most minority journalism
graduates preferring radio and television to newspapers.
The: Philadelphia Tribune's associate editor. Acel
Moore, a Pulitzer Prize-winner who is black, sums up the
problem this way:
"The bottom line is racism - whether it's overt or
covert. Anybody who tells me he can't find black people
or who uses the excuse that once we train them they go to
other papers, I think that's evidence there's no commitment."
; of discrimination laws
Rep. Julian C. Dixon, D-Calif., chairman of the Congressional
Black Caucus, terms the bill "the most important
civil rights matter before this session of Congress."
In its February ruling, the Supreme Court said the law
did not apply to all parts of Grove City College in Pennsylvania
because all programs did not directly receive
federal funding.
The bill would expand Title IX of the Education
Amendments in 1972, the law which applied in the Grove

"Recipient" would be defined to mean any state or
political subdivision, any public or private agency, institution
or organization and any subunit of such
organizations that receive federal money directly or indirectly.
The term also applies to "transferees" to whom
federal aid is shifted.

Q: I know it may be a little early, but could you tell me
who the entertainers for Street Scene will be this year?
S.T.
A: Just as you thought, it's way too early to tell who this
year's Street Scene entertainers will be. That part of
Winston's annual weekend of fun in the streets won't be
final until probably June, says Clyde Rader of the Arts y
Council, the agency that coordinates the event.
