?£ THE BATTALION Thursday, April 26, 1973 College Station, Texas Page 3 ensus Bureau Error Attributed To Black Undercount 1350 473 7 30 WASHINGTON (A*)—The Gen ius Bureau said Wednesday it issed about 5.3 million persons in the 1970 Census, notably 7.7 ler cent of the black population. The bureau indicated that the ndercount of blacks in the cen sus was due in part to fear of census innumerators to knock on doors in the inner cities. Officials said they have no way of estimating the undercount for individual states, cities or other jurisdictions. Second Ag Named To Play In Musical Drama ‘Texas ’ Mitchell D. Hall, a May gradu- ite, has been selected for the :ast of the nationally famous summer production “Texas” at Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle. Hall, a physical education ma- ior from Sugar Land, will por tray Dave Newberry, a success ful West Texas rancher. The outdoor amphitheater pro duction will run from June 21 through Aug. 25, every night at 5:30 except Sunday. Another A&M student, John A. Steele, TAMU junior education major from Refugio, will appear in the musical portrayal of Tex as history. He was selected as a dancer with some acting possi bilities. They will report with other actors for rehearsals May 20 at West Texas State University in Canyon. Full rehearsals of Paul Green’s story of Texas in the 1880s begin a few days later. Tourists from the U. S. and Mexico visit the summer produc tion. It is presented in Pioneer Amphitheater in Palo Duro Can yon, about 20 miles east of Can yon. Hall auditioned for a “Texas” part in early March at Waco. The director, Bill Moore, notified him of the result by phone Tues day. “He said he had a ‘peach of a part’ for me,” related Hall. “I’m tickled to death. The best I ex pected was a part in the chorus.” However, Joseph Waksberg, as sociate Census Bureau director, acknowledged that much of the undercount could have occurred in cities where there is a large concentration of blacks. The undercount for whites was only 1.9 per cent. The bureau called a news con ference to announce the under count, which it said represented 2.5 per cent of the total 203.2 million residential population re ported in the 1970 census. The undercount of 5.3 million exceeded 41 state populations, but the Census Bureau acting direc tor, Robert L. Hagan, said it still was an improvement over the 1960 census undercount of 2.7 per cent and the 1950 under count of 3.3 per cent. The fact that the bureau can not breakdown its undercount for states and cities means there will be no adjustments of population for localities. Their populations will remain based on the original 1970 census. Census population figures are used in determining such things as congressional apportionment and allocation of revenue-sharing funds. But Waksberg said “there is no evidence of a serious under count anyplace that differs sub stantially from the over all un dercount.” Other officials said the bureau received about 300 complaints following its 1970 census, but said that none justified making any recounts. Among cities that complained was Chicago. Officials explained that the undercount was determined by cross-checking the actual 1970 count with figures on births, deaths, Medicare enrollment, im migration-emigration, past cen sus data analyses of age, sex and race distribution of the popula tion. It acknowledged that the un dercount information also cannot be considered completely accurate but said the “range of possible error does not appear to be very wide.” Hagan said changing social conditions made census taking more difficult in 1970. “These conditions,” he said. “included increased resistance be cause of changing lifestyles in the country, more alienation and distrust of authority, more or ganized attempts to protest the census and it was more difficult for our census takers ... to, work in cities, particularly inner cities.” The bureau said a total of 3.45 million whites were missed in the census, compared with 3.25 mil lion in 1960. The undercount of blacks was estimated at 1.88 million com pared with 1.63 million in 1960.

The TAMU journalism pro gram was established in 1948. Its Community Journalism and Agricultural Journalism se quences were accredited for the first time in 1956. Both se quences were reaccredited in 1960. In 1966, because of the small enrollment in the agricul tural journalism sequence, only the community journalism was considered by ACEJ and subse quently reaccredited. Leabo said this year the de partment switched its request for reaccreditation from community journalism, which was designed to turn out graduates for media in small towns, to news-editorial, a sequence designed to produce professionals for work in all media, local and national. “Because of growth in the agricultural journalism program in recent years, we again quali fied numerically to seek renewal of our former accreditation in this sequence,” Leabo added. Aggie Band (Continued from page 1) Kingsville and Russell A. Braden, Columbus, are Maroon and White Band commanders. The Aggie Band will be in the sixth unit in the parade’s second section. It will accompany King Antonio and the cavaliers section. The parade is expected to last about 2i/2 hours. A four-man team under the chairmanship of Dr. Warren K. Agee, dean of the School of Journalism of the University of Georgia, visited the journalism department in March. The team’s recommendation was forwarded to the ACEJ which gave final approval to the two sequences this month in St. Louis, Leabo explained. He said 61 universities and col leges have sequences accredited by ACEJ. TAMU’s department is the smallest in faculty size, with four full-time faculty and three quarter-time faculty. Other institutions with accred ited sequences in Texas include the University of Texas, Texas Christian University, North Tex as State University, Texas Tech University and the University of Houston. There are approximately 150 journalism majors at A&M, with 120 registered in the news-edi torial sequence and 30 in agricul tural journalism. These figures reflect an in crease of 150 per cent from the fall of 1967 when 61 students were enrolled, Leabo noted. En rollment in the journalism de partment has increased 19 per cent each year for the past two years, and a similar increase is expected next fall. The department is developing a graduate program and plans to offer its first graduate courses this summer. Leabo said he hopes the department can offer a mas ter’s degree in the near future.
