...aggressive recruiting and informal quotas (Community High, for example, has 65 Third World students and 120 whites, with a white waiting list of 75). The Agora School aims specifically at fostering an appreciation of racial differences and keeps its staff and student body exactly one-quarter each white, black, Chicano and Asian. But three other alternative schools that meet away from Berkeley High are less concerned about integration...
...black, argues that voluntary separation is far different from forced segregation, and that it may well be transitional. "Our concern is to help kids compete in an integrated society," he says, "but we want them to compete on a basis of parity. One segment of black and Chicano students needs additional support and strength to really feel equal." Berkeley officials are optimistic that they can satisfy federal guidelines in the months of negotiations that will follow official notification by making minor changes, like opening the separatist schools to any whites who are willing to immerse themselves in the heavily racial...

...commend the Soc Rel Department on its concern for Chicano and American Indian studies. But we are at a loss to understand the reasoning by which these three vital fields are placed in direct competition, while the rest of the department continues to offer while male-oriented courses without feeling financial stricture. Further, dealing out the aces of relative merit to these important fields of study, forcing them into competition for academic legitimacy, degrades all of them; if Harvard finds them worthy of study it should give them full and equal attention instead of making them scramble for tokens...
