Dearth Os Funds MayForce Private SchoolsTo Become StateWards

CHARLESTON, W. Va. tANP)

Dr. John W. Davis, president ofWest Virginia State college, reveal-ed here last week that the scarcityof funds may cause private collegesin the south to seek state aid andbecome state colleges. Citing Moi*-gan college, Baltimore; and Wilber-force, university, Ohio, as “recentexamples of this trend,” he saidthe presidents of 17 Negro landgrant colleges in accordance withthis belief.

H<» pointed out that Tuskegee in-stitute, Fisk and Atlanta universi-ties, and Meharry Medical college"are playing with the regional col-lege idea to obtain financial aid.”The “dollar crisis” of Negro col-leges has prevented “an unemotion-al approach to the vagueness anddangers of segregated regional col-leges,” with college heads “forcedinto the support of a plan whichwill saddle states are turing awayfrom segregation in education.”

Funds derived from the Smith-Lever, the Smith-Hughes and theGeorg e-Dean acts of congress, allo-cated for extension, vocational andagricultural research, are also atstake, he said. Using Alabama asan eample, he showed that two statecolleges for Negroes had asked thestate “not to discriminate in favorof Tuskegee institute,” which at onetime received most of the federalfunds given for higher education,

funds given for higher education.Trustee boards of Meharry, Fisk,

Hampton, Tuskegee and Atlanta arebelieved to be seeking a solution inregionalism, but Dr. Davi s calledthe present state educational poli-cies in West Virginia.”i “There is some value in a con-cept of regional education,” he said,“but I refuse to participate in anyregional plan of education whichsupports or countenances in a n yway the maintenance of racial seg-regation in higher education in thesouth.

“It. is generally believed thatsegregation in education must beattacked from the top. in profes-sional and graduate education. Oursouthern economy cannot supporttwo strong systems of education.The attempt to support a jim crowsystem of regional education willmerely add to the burden.

About 50 students were enrolledat West Virginia State university,Morgantown, last summer. The pri-vate colleges believed to have los'ttheir “direction and function duringthe money crisis” include Fisk, un-dergraduate enrollment og 933;Hampton, 1,722: Tuskegee, 2.084;Dillard, 602; and Morehouse, Spel-man and Morris Brown of the At-lanta university system, with 859,383, and 881 students respectively.
