Integration of the public schools is an
tool for the education of oil children for life in a
society made up of diverse racial and cultural
groups. It is especially necessary in a state Mte
Oregon, where minority people must live and work
among the majority group, that minority children
gam the awareness and skills to
fully with individuals not of their ou

We do believe that the policy change offered by
Board member Jonathon N e w n an is
and should be refected.
We also believe that for an issue at
emotional, ond as far reaching as
the broadest possible involvement of the community
- and especially of the Block community - is required
to make any program successful.
We endorse the "Committee for Quality Education
for All Children" proposal that the dtstnct provide a
thorough study of the methods, extent and reeufcs of
racial desegregation thus far and build a
hensive pion that w ill provide for shifts in

without the necessity for
The plan that b finally evolved must indude white
children and parents, for they hove as much to gain
as Blocks. Desegregation has bee n treated as a
Black problem - but the isolation of whites from other
ethnic groups is just as great a problem as the
isolation of Blacks.
Above ail, the people of the district have the right
to be dealt with openly, to be provided all available
information, to be brought into the decision making
process.
It is true that desegregation is a School Board
responsibility - but it b a responsibility that should be
shared with all of the people of Portland.
All of these federally funded recruiting drives -
four y ea rs worth - hove resulted in the hiring of
seven Block police officers. It can't be because no
applicaiiom w ere received, because police records
show 120 Block applicants.
Last year's record was worst, with only one Block
hired out of 49
tbcants. That's above 2 percent,
but about 7 preset of the white applicants were
hired. Other minorities did not do too w ell either -
the only additional minority hired was one Spanish
sur-named.

An even worse rumor seems to be circulating
among veterans currently at the hospital - that if the
hoapitol is moved to the Emanuel site the close
relationship with the medical school and quolity care
will come to an end.
If this rumor b being spread for the political
purpose of using these veterans to push for the
Marquam Hili site, it b extremely unethical or will be
destructive to the veterans who are threatened with

actively recruiting minority applicants. Blocks are
urged to apply.
We have watched this annual event and have
seen few results. Hard working, enthused recruiters
go a. there beating the bushes finding Block people
who are interested in police c areer s . On the whole
they have been successful - but then something
happens. Their applicants are not hired.
