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 breadwinner in the fam
ily is an unskilled laborer and
neither the woman nor her hus
band have a high school educa
tion. 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

Price Commission approves
GM request to raise prices
WASHINGTON <A>) — The
Price Commission approved Tues
day General Motors’ request to
raise prices of 1972 cars, trucks
and optional equipment by an
average of up to 2.5 per cent.
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.
