Now Chavez claims that
"the government policy to

right."
Her political backwardness

If, indeed, the decline of

ofTormerly all-white institutions,
one might be less concerned.
Ironically, however,
the collapse of black schools
and cutbacks in tenure-stream
positions for young black
faculty are occurring precisely
at a time when white colleges
are reducing their overall
numbers of black professors
and administrators.

Hairston said he also wants to
.rally the support of black
ministers before proceeding with
a boycott.
44Because the (Baptist)
Ministers Conference (And
Associates) is on vacation, I'm
inciting wun inciTi unc oy one to
get their support," Hairston said.
"The black minister has the
largest audience and he can make
a great impact if he educates his
congregation about the facts."
According to a study prepared
for the NAACP by the L.R. Byrd
Consulting Co. of Greenville,
S.C., only three of the 211 Food
Lion Stores tt&ve black managers,
among them the store located at
the East Winston Shopping
Center. Because blacks make up
10 percent of the stores' shoppers,
the NAACP contends, their
fair share of store managers is 21
percent.
The report, which Food Lion
officials termed erroneous and
"one-sided," also criticizes the
firm for not providing black contractors
with major contracts,
not purchasing any
"appreciable" amount of products
from black vendors and not
^ ^ using black-owned banks.
Last November, the talk of
boycotting Food Lion stores surfaced,
but the threat of a boycott
~c* ? r>?
C1IUCU a I ICI DCIl rHJUNS, CAUUIIVC
director of the NAACP, began
intensive talks with Food Lion's
management in an effort to work
out a fair share agreement.
But last week, after Food Lion
returned a proposal to the
NAACP, the 75-year-old
organization renewed calls for a
boycott.
"The NAACP's decision to
? l?'uwk m hand*- u?_...,..m.T.7,~?Mfrs7aaa:rr^-^aW-^WcKtirtev,
reading from an official company
statement. "We estimate 10 percent
of our customers are black.
This means black customers save
at least $6 million a year shopping
at Food Lion.
"If (the boycott is) successful,
the black community loses at
least $6 million a year. Such a
boycott hardly seems in the best
interest of the black community,
NAACP or anyone else."
Because of Food Lion's policy
r\f oivino rnstr>mers the lowest

prices possible and its competitive
bidding process,
McKinley said, it cannot choose
one group of vendors or suppliers
based on race alone.
"We feel it isn't right to prefer
any single group over all other
groups in doing business or in
employment," McKinley said.
Nevertheless, Hairston said,
the NAACP's executive committee
has voted to boycott and the
local board will follow suit. If a
local boycott is called, Hairston
said, ne will get 100 percent support.

instance, officials asserted
recently that they have made
"a vigorous effort to recruit
black faculty members." In
1974, however, the number of
black Princeton professors
was 10, and today the figure
has dropped to nine.
By way of contrast, the
number of women faculty at
Princeton in the past decade
has increased from 54 to 101.
Similar statistics can be
cited across the country.
At Harvard University in
1980, there were 34 black professors
out of 1,746 faculty; in
sixiP&flf 1984? the number
ed to 24, about 1.4 percent of
the total faculty.
At the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, the
black faculty total only 2 percent;
Cornell University, 1.7
nercent: Stanford IInivpr?iitv
1.6 percent.
White administrators are
quick to justify these small
numbers of Afro-American
faculty as a product of the

ed concern last year when a possible
boycott was mentioned at the
prospect of having to boycott the
store in the East Winston Shopping
Center. Still, Hairston said,
he thinks black clergy will
cooperate.
"I think I could close down the
East Winston and Waughtown
stores easily," Hairston said. "In
fact, I'm sure we could close
down the whole East Winston
Shopping Center, but I would
hate to close the whole shopping
center."

But the limited progress of the
past 10 years was wiped out with
the single stroke of a pen. And we
must regroup and develop our
own economic systems to prevent
second-class citizenship from
resurfacing.

relatively small pool of blacks
who earn advanced degrees.
But since 1974, the overall
proportion of blacks receiving
doctorates has risen from 3.7
to 4.4 percent.
In 1982, the proportion of
all minorities receiving doctorates
in the field of
psychology was 8 percent;
mathematics, 9 percent;
education, 14.5 percent;
economics, 13.4 percent;
political science, 12 percent;
and sociology, 10.7 percent.
Even after factoring out
Hispanics,, Asians and other
people of color, these figures
- indicate that the majority of
white universities are making
few sincere efforts to hire
'black graduates.
Consequently, the survival
of traditional black colleges is
of paramount importance to
thousands of young black
teachers and administrators
who have few avenues of
employment outside these institutions.

of the Reaganites' educational
policies is simply this: Higher
education is not a democratic
right for the poor, blacks,
Latinos and other historically
oppressed groups. , This
political message is translated
by many white universities into
a silent repudiation of affirmative
action hiring policies.
Both the current administration
and many white college presidents
might do well to
reconsider the observations of
black scholar W.E.B. Du
Bois: "Human culture in its
broadest and finest sense can
never be wholly the product of
a tew. There is. not a naiutai fc
aristocracy of man; A system;
therefore, of national education
which tries to confine its
benefits to preparing the few
for the life of the few, dies of
starvation."
