Office of School Relations, it appears that undergraduate minority recruitment at Texas A&M has little serious adminis trative support,” the report said. But minority undergraduate students aren’t the only under represented group here. Texas A&M is well below the state aver age in the number of minority faculty members. Unofficial figures for 1982 show that the percentage of black faculty members in Texas colleges and universities is 4.3 percent compared to 0.6 per cent at Texas A&M. The per centage of Hispanic faculty members at Texas colleges is 3.2 percent versus 2.1 percent for Texas A&M. “The predominance of white faculty in general and white te nured faculty in particular sug gests that recruitment of minor ity faculty members has been li mited, curtailed, ineffectual c due to no pool of potenti minority faculty in some prog ram areas,” the report said. “Deans, department heads and faculty must recognize that an all-white, male faculty is not compatible with a flagship uni versity and cannot be accepted in the future.” A flagship university is one that receives a large amount of research grants and places many of its graduates in powerful gov ernment or industrial positions. The group recommended in creasing certain departmental salaries to attract qualified minority faculty, increasing the number of black and Mexican- American tenure-track faculty, increasing the number of minority administrators and de veloping a faculty-exchange net work with selected predomi nantly black and Hispanic uni versities. In addition, the committee suggested providing money to recruit minority faculty in academic departments with no open faculty positions. But the committee acknow ledged that problems surround the recruitment of minority fa culty members. “The identification and re cruitment of a scholar because of the individual’s minority sta tus is abhorrent to many univer sity faculty,” the report said. “Nevertheless, in the short run, this practice is necessary if minority network contacts are to be established.” The committee stressed that recruitment of minority stu dents and faculty must be a team effort. “Without active support for minority faculty recruitment by department heads, faculty re cruitment committees and the faculty in general, there is a low er probability of significant progress in this area,” the report said. During a meeting of the Academic Council on Wednes day, Vandiver urged that a dis cussion of minority conditions within each department be held during the first faculty meeting this semester. Vandiver can implement some of the recommendations, while more costly ones will have to be approved by the Board of Regents. To coordinate minority re cruiting — both student and fa culty — the committee recom mended the appointment of a special assistant to the provost- vice president for academic affairs. But with all its proposals for change, the report acknow ledged one slightly more en couraging area — the Graduate College. “Although numbers needed to reach representation on the master’s and doctoral levels are not as awesome as numbers re quired for the undergraduate levels, A&M falls in the under represented group in each com parison with the exception of American Indian,” the report said. The percentage of black gra duate students at all Texas col leges in 1980 was 5 percent com pared to 0.8 percent at Texas A&M; the percentage of Hispa nic graduate students at all Texas colleges was 7 percent versus 1.8 percent at Texas A&M. The committee acknow ledged increased efforts in minority graduate student re cruitment, including faculty- assisted trips to a number of col leges and universities, but noted that financial aid for graduate students is gible.” UT appropriates for minority graduate each year; variousgiftf loans also are avai November, Vandiver $25,000 to the Gradir lege. Until this time had been appropm minority graduate sn cruitment. The committee that additional money marked for minority felij and that each college, recruitment plan lobe, til the number of mind duate students has level equal to most ship universities.

Houston Independent School District Superintendent Billy Reagan said he doubted the wisdom of setting up a “police state” through the use of metal detectors. “It matters not how many metal detectors or security guards we have unless we get some laws enacted that make penalties for weapons and as saults more certain and stiffer,” Reagan said.
