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. "I'm delighted," said Fort. "I have strong confidence Nation's dailies slack or 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 _wojiIff enrafripas^ny--.'LecipienCljatfede.raJ, monsy 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. Open Line 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. \ / I news briefs compiled by John Slade ccountant to A&T in this financial consultant's ability." 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. V. 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. i minority journalists^ 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 ,...Cil^.CfiI^ .. ot hgi-jnajar qy-iLx.ig.hts... federal money. "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. 1 t institute Easter Pre-Street Scene Info 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.
