The low representation
of minorities in college is no
accident. It is the living
legacy of a long national
history of private and gov
ernmental discrimination, a
legacy that today finds Blacks
and Hispanics in poorly
funded and ill-equipped
secondary sclxwls that are
segregated in fact, if not by
law.
APARTIALSOLUTION
In the 1980s, under
Reagatr/Bush, federal aid to
students sharply declined,
while college tuition and fees
rose. These changes doubled
the burden on Black and
Hispanic Americans, who, in
the best of times, are dispro
portionately unable to afford
a college education. Minor
ity scholarships, which have
provided about $135 million
in aid to nearly 35,000 stu
dents across the country, have
been the key to making a
college education a reality
for many young people.
Minority scholarships
also send apowerfiilmessage
from white institutions to
minority students. (As re
cently as 1968,90 percent of
the college degrees earned
by African Americans were
awarded by historically black
colleges and universities.) As
Donald Stewart, President of
the College Board, recently
testified, such scholarships
help persuade minority stu
dents that “the way is open,
and that their presence
is...desired in the educational
community, and necessary
for our national social and
economic well-being.” For
these reasons, most colleges
and universities offer mi
nority scholarships, and over
80 percent of college admin-
istrators consider such
scholarships importantto the
recruitment and retention of
minority students.

President,” asserted recently that
his commitment to education re
form required him to oppose the
Civil Rights Act of 1991 because
it would undermine reform by
barring employers from setting
minimum education standards for
job applicants. We reject this
analysis. But if the President is
seriously committed to education
for all the people, the least he can
do is instruct the Department of
Education not to oppose minority
scholarships. They are legal —
and they work.

tion Qub are sponsoring their annual blood drive Dec. 1 at the
Health Science Building.
The drive will collect blood for patients with sickle cell anemia,
AIDS and cancer.
These are diseases blacks suffer from in great numbers, accord
ing to Kwain Bryant, president of the He^th Education Qub.
This is an opportunity for African-Americans to help theirownby
donating blood which helis a brother or sister in need," Ik; said.
Bryant urged students who have never donated blood before to
participate in the drive this year to make up for a shortfall in last
year’s drive.
Hie goal for diis year's drive is 100 pints,
ThiU mews lOOEagles will have to find the courage to bleed for
the cause.
It would be a Qiristmas gfil worth giving.
