Desegregation
(continued from page 1)
In years past, the Department
of Health, Education and Wel
fare primarily dealt with deseg
regation in public schools in
stead of those of higher educa
tion because it was easier to
accomplish, Bond said.
HEW first took on desegre
gation in public schools because
public schools are geographical
ly bound within school districts,
Bond said, which makes it easier
to control.

aren’t geographically hemmed
in, he said. Even though colleges
are state supported, he said,
they aren’t free as with public
schools.
Another element which
makes the problems of desegre
gation in higher education more
difficult is one stipulation of the
five-year plan which limits
methods to be used to desegre-
gate.
“Integration in public schools
was achieved in large part by
closing down what had been
typically all black schools and in
tegrating the students into white
campuses, or taking the two and
putting them together,” he said.
However, for higher educa
tion institutions, this approach is
prohibited by the five-year plan.
According to the plan, institu
tions pursuing desegregation,
must protect the unique role of
traditional black institutions.
Bond said that Texas A&M
cannot simply absorb Prairie
View A&M to satisf y its minority
enrollment goals. This is impor
tant, he said, because inherently
it increases the cdmpetition be
tween recruiting institutions.
Traditionally non-black insti
tutions are forced by the deseg
regation plan to recruit at pre
dominantly minority schools.
But they are faced with being
prohibited from cutting into the
traditional black institutions’ en
rollments, Bond said.
“Therefore, we must strike a
fine balance of recruiting prac
tices,” he said.
In late October or early
November 1980, Texas Attor
ney General Mark White felt the

greatest service of Texas was to
persuade the Office of Civil
Rights that Texas is capable of
dealing with its own problems.
Bond said.
“We felt that all laws in Texas
presently permitted totally inte
grated higher education and
acknowledged vestiges of the
past dual system that had ling
ered,” Bond said. “Recruiting
and goal setting may help eli
minate some of the vestiges.”
White hired a Washington
legal firm to assist with the
Texas Desegregation Plan.
Through the leadership of the
attorney general and governor,
Texas was able to energize an
enormous project for trying to
build the state plan, Bond said.
Texas was treated uniquely
by the Office of Civil Rights,
Bond said, because it received a
letter of conditional compliance.
The Texas Plan, which was sub
mitted to the Office of Civil
Rights in June, is still being re
viewed.
Herbert Stallworth, director
of equal education opportunity
planning at the Coordinating
Board of the Texas College and
University System in Austin,
said the state desegregation plan
requires state institutions and
schools to do what they can to
equalize participation between
minority students and the insti
tutions.
As for goals set by each insti
tution in the next five years,
Stallworth said, all departments
at the institutions contributed.
For example, he said, if 20
percent of the black high school
graduating seniors go to college,
and 80 percent of the white high
school graduating seniors go to
college, then there is a disparity
of 60 percent.
The disparity allows institu
tions and the state an opportun
ity to see the percentage increase
needed for an institution, he
said.

SHREVEPORT, La. —Fra-
nia Ty Lee was allowed to col
lect $9.2 million from a north
Louisiana bank today, four
years after settling her suit
against the estate of Texas bil
lionaire H.L. Hunt.
Lee, who claimed she and
Hunt had been secretly mar
ried, won the money in a final
judgment handed down Mon
day by U.S. District Judge
Tom Stagg.
She had been awarded $7.5
million in an out-of-court set
tlement in January 1978 while
the jury deliberated at a civil
trial in Shreveport. However,
the money gathered seven
percent interest while Lee’s
son and grandson contested
the settlement.
Those appeals, which went
to 5th Circuit Court of
Appeals in New Orleans and
even to the U.S. Supreme
Court, failed.
In December, the Hunt
estate was ordered to pay Lee,
but Stagg said some question
arose as to whether the
woman’s grandson, Ronald
Cartledge, had dropped all
appeals.
Stagg ordered the mo

TRINITY — A Texan whose
discovery claims include the Ark
of the Covenant, the resting
place of Noah’s Ark and the true
site of the Tower of Babel has
lowered his goals — he’s going
underground in search of evi
dence leading to the Lost Conti
nent of Atlantis.
“We believe our work in
Trinity will expose the fact there
was an Atlantian civilization and
they migrated throughout the
area,” said Tom Crotser, leader
of the Institute for Restoring
Ancient History International.
Crotser, 49, led an expedition
last year which made a disputed
claim of finding the gold-
covered Ark of the Convenant
in the Middle East. He is follow

ranean shaft to rooms once used

“We’ve been searching for a

Atlantis existed — that it was a
real continent and there’s been
migrations to this area.”

Timaeus. Legend holds that the
island empire was destroyed and
disappeared during an earth
quake.
As a youth, Crotser learned
his parents’ sleight-of-hand
trade from the vaudeville circuit
and at age 17, was ranked the
third best illusionist in the world
by the International Brother
hood of Magicians.
But he also is a former minis
ter with the Disciples of Christ
and now heads a mission of ab
out 150 believers with communi
ties in Glenbuck, Scotland; Win
field, Kan.; Pauline, S.C.; and
his present base of operations in
nearby Frankston, Texas.
Crotser’s latest venture was
generated, he said, when he
came into possession of a por
tion of an ancient map during a
visit to Istanbul, Turkey. He said
the map reveals sites of ancient
centers across the world, includ
ing the area about six miles
north of Trinity where he is ex
cavating.
The map indicates a shaft will
; lead his party to two large rooms
carved deep below the rolling
red-clay hills and thick pines
that mark the east Texas terrain.
“We’ve found a real soft area
that just keeps on going down.
We’re down about six to seven
feet right now.
“We’re sifting through all of
the dirt and things as we go. It’s
taking a while,” said Crotser. He
estimated excavation would be
completed in about 30 days.
Crotser said he had been en
couraged in the discovery of
what appears to be ancient writ
ings and drawings on the sides
of the shaft, and a small porce-
lainized stone.
