Steel Schools Cited For Producing Sifted Students BALTIMORE, Md. - William M. Boyd, 11, executive director of the Educational Policies Cen ter in New York City, praised black institutions of higher learning for the role they have played in developing excellent students. Addressing the 37th annual Honors Day Convocation si Morgan State College recent ly, Boyd blasted those critics who claim that "black schools make up the tailend of the aca demic procession as headline grabbers.” He declared that black schools actually educate their students better because black Institutions are primari ly established with the prefer ences and needs of black stu dents in mind. "All schools are dependent up on. outside financial assistance to survive. Those which get most of this assistance,’’ Boyd said, "are most likely to a chieve prominence.*’ The cor ollary also is true, he cityed, in that prominent schools us ually receive the most generous assistance. As a result, black schools and their students get much less than their white coun terparts, he pointed out. V/e (See BLACK, P. 2j fff T £& # In fair, C.

Report Colls For Abolition Os Judges’ Discretionary Powers PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - A Quaker-sponsored report released last week, calls for the abolition of the discretionary powers of judges and parole officers, which are used “to justify secret procedures and un review able decisions” that discriminate against minorities and the poor. Discretionary powers ha ve al so failed in their purpose of promoting rehabilitation, the report says, and should be re placed with a system which “re duces the number of acts which are crimes” and then enforces them uniformly so that “all those convicted of the same crime receive the same sen tence.” A panel of 16 criminologists, lawyers, educators, ex - con vlsts -- including one current prisoner issued the report following a year and a half of deliberation. The panel was sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee, and the 173-page report, entitled “Struggle for Justice” has been published by Hill and Wang of New York. The authors challenge the work of generations of reformers who sought to build rehabilitation program s into the court and pri son system, “After more than a century of persistent failure, this reformist prescription is bankrupt. The legacy of a cen tury of reform effort is an in creasingly repressive penal system and overcrowed courts dispensing assembly - line jus tice.” “The mixture of rehabilitation and punishment,” the report says, “gives a humane veneer to a barbaric system. We find no convincing evidence that the present, approach at its best succeeds in rehabilitating of fenders, even by its own cri teria, “W'hen we punish the person and simultaneously try to treat him, we hurt the individual more profoundly and more perman ently than if we merely im prison him for a specific length of time,” the report says. The prison system is intend ed for punishment and should be used specifically for that purpose, although “only when a compelling social need has been demonstrated and when less drastic remedies have been ex hausted.” Punishment should be clearly defined and the human and civil rights of prisoners respected, the report says. Treatment should be separate from punishment, the report contends, with prisoner parti cipation in a range of medical, psychiatric, and educational services “truly voluntary and available to all.” Prison au (B*e ABOLITION, **. 2) Dr. Marguerite M.
