HE bahalion Wednesday, December 1, 1971 College Station, Texas Page 3 Integration and the rural black object of A&M study Do rural blacks want integra- t they think integration is ^ly to take place in their own lome areas ? According to a recent research •foject, more rural blacks think ^gration is possible than want Ve persons answering the questions are black females with ,t least one child, and who live ( ither in a small rural village or a small town in east Texas. The schools their children attend has undergone forced integration within the last two years. The woman most likely is dis satisfied with the house in which she lives. The conditions would have to be labeled poor or dis advantaged. There is probably no phone, flush toilet, tub or shower. She doesn’t read the daily newspaper, but does have a black and white television.

The chances are slim that either of them had even started high school. This homemaker and others like her in east Texas were the objects of a study conducted by Dr. William P. Kuvlesky, asso ciate professor, and Margaret Cannon, graduate student, with the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology at A&M. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship of the community size to a black’s perception of racial prejudice directed toward her by local whites, to her desire for racial integration, and to her percep tion of the possibility of racial integration in her local area. Kuvlesky said research indi cates a belief that there is a gradual increase in racial toler ance as one goes from rural areas and small towns to cities over a million. He added, however, that no actual data exists to support this belief at the rural end. For their study, Kuvlesky and Mrs. Cannon chose residents from two rural villages and a small town of about 5,000 popu lation. Data were considered based on two residence groups — village and town. The first series of questions concerned racial prejudice as per ceived by the black. Village resi dents perceived less prejudice to a marked degree than town resi dents, although the percentage of • affirmative responses in both ranged from 66 to 93%. More village residents felt in tegration was pos sible than wanted it. The areas of inte gration referred to were church attendance, school, children play ing together, neighborhoods and close personal friendships. In town residents, about the same number desired integration as thought it was possible — with the exceptions of church and school. Integration in the schools already existed, yet only about half desired it. Many more de sired integrated churches than felt they were possible. Findings considered important by the researchers were that vil-< lagers were more likely to per ceive little or no prejudice on the part of whites, yet were less inclined to favor integration. Vil lagers more often felt across-the- board integration possible than did town residents. The work done by researchers Kuvlesky and Mrs. Cannon, and their findings, have been sub mitted to the Rural Sociological Society. It’s also a contributing study to the U.S. Department of Spring electronics school open A&M’s Institute of Electronic Science is now accepting applica tions for the spring term begin ning Jan. 17, announced Chief Instructor Arlie Patton. The 18-anonth institute has three six-month terms and pre pares graduates for careers as technicians in electronics fields. Patton pointed out the insti tute is attempting to closely co ordinate its schedule with the regular university schedule. This is the first time the spring term has begun in mid-January, with the regular session actually end ing Feb. 25. In the future, classes will be gin in mid-September and mid- January, Patton said. Seven new students have al ready pre-enrolled for the spring term, he said. To be admitted students must have a high school diploma or equivalent, a knowledge of alge bra and the ability to compre hend technical information.

The commission said its deci sion was based on allowable cost increases, productivity gains and GM’s base-period profit margin. General Motors said when it filed its price hike request that cost increases amounted to 4.9 per cent but that it would ask only the 2.5 per cent increase. It was the commission’s final ruling on the first round of price-boost requests from the four principal domestic auto makers. Ford Motor Co. was granted an average price increase of 2.9 per cent after seeking 4.4 per cent. Chrysler Corp. was granted 4.5 per cent after first asking 6.9 per cent and then lowering this request to 5.3. American Motors was given the full 2.5 per cent it asked. The Price Commission issued guidelines also Tuesday on its decision that the base price, against which price-increase re quests must be based, need not include temporary deals or spe cial allowances. This keeps firms from being stuck for long periods with spe cial lower prices which happened to be in effect when President Nixon’s price freeze began Aug. 15. Big car insurance dividends?
