Ironically, Burger might also be affected by the proposed rules. He receives about $2,000 a year plus expenses for serving on the board of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota (along with L.B.J., who was appointed in February). While this connection seems innocent enough, it too would probably be dissolved if Warren's proposed rules against outside activity went into effect...
...elementary schools are de facto segregated. Almost two-thirds of the white pupils attend schools that are more than 85% white; in predominantly black schools, the pupils are rapidly falling behind in their studies. Goaded by the murder of Martin Luther King last year, the Denver school board sought a drastic remedy: make each Denver school reflect the overall ethnic composition of the city's 96,000 pupils-65% white, 20% Mexican-American and 15% Negro...
...vote of 5 to 2, the board approved a bussing plan, due to start next fall, that would have sent more than 500 whites to predominantly black schools and guaranteed that no minority-area school would be less than 70% white. The plan was less than satisfactory to the Rev. Jesse R. Wagner, co-chairman of a black-white group called Citizens for One Community that wanted fuller integration. Still, he worked hard for the bussing scheme-in contrast to Denver's black separatists, who told Wagner, in effect: "Do your thing...
What he and other Negro integrationists saw was a strong backlash by anti-bussing whites. Last week the whites got a chance to express their feelings when a record 50% of Denver's registered voters turned out for the school-board election. At issue were two six-year seats on the seven-member board. In seeking those seats, Lawyer James C. Perrill and Frank K. Southworth, a real estate man, ran primarily "against forced bussing and for neighborhood schools." They won by a landslide, switching the board majority to 4 to 3 against integration...
Further research has suggested that this interpretation is correct, although no one knows for sure because no legal scholars have ever had any reason to consider the problem. A source in the office of the Counsel to the Massachusetts Senate has said that it seems probable the Governing Board's approval is required. And Morison, in his Development of Harvard University, 1869-1929, agrees that this principle "may now be considered a settled point in American constitutional...
