Leading history
Black History Month person of the day
Bayard Rustin was bom in West Chester, Penn., on
March 17, 1912. His grandmother raised him in a
Quaker community. Rustin first experienced racism
on a school trip when a restaurant refused to serve him.
In high school, he excelled at sports, academics and
choir, singing with a strong tenor voice.
Rustin attended Wilberforce University, Cheney
State Teachers College and the City College of New
York. He became involved with the Young Communist
League and helped organize the Congress of Racial
Equality in the early 1940s.
Rustin was a follower of Mahatama Gandhi and a pro
ponent of non-violent action to end segregation. In 1947,
he organized the “Journey of Reconciliation,” which
would be used as a model for the later Freedom Rides.
During the 1950s, Rustin became an integral founder
of the civil rights movement along with A. Phillip Ran
dolph, and he was a key advisor to Martin Luther King
Jr., convincing him to fully embrace non-violent tac
tics. Rustin was the main organizer for the 1963 March
on Washington.
Throughout his life, Rustin was openly gay, although
this often relegated him to a behind-the-scenes position.
His foes, chief among them Strom Thurmond and Jesse
Helms, denigrated his efforts because of his homosexuali
ty and his early involvement with communism.
Nevertheless, Rustin spoke his mind thoughouthis
life and championed many causes, including anti-nu
clear demonstrations, war resistance and the Free In
dia movement. He was jailed more than 20 times for
issues of conscience.
Rustin died of cardiac arrest on Aug. 24,1987, in
New York City.

OUS soon to implement

City/State Politics Reporter
Counselors from community high
schools have mixed feelings about an
OUS study released this month
showing that high school sopho
mores who scored well on their 10th
grade benchmark were more likely
to succeed as college freshmen.
The study will be used as a founda
tion for the Proficiency-based Admis
sion Standards System, a new admis
sion standard that will be completely
implemented into OUS by 2005.
The study results failed to impress
some counselors around the state,
and others are critical of the new
PASS program, contending that its im
plementation would be costly and
time consuming for schools, especial
ly given the struggling state economy.
Some counselors said it is unrea
sonable to assume schools can handle
the extra responsibility of implement
ing PASS at the high school level.
However, grant funding makes up
about 80 percent of PASS funding, and
about half of the $5.7 million received
since 1994 has gone to high schools
for teacher training and materials.
Amy Adams-Schauer, a counselor
at Churchill High School, said the
study did not surprise her because
