...another five years. It would strengthen the present law by barring voter-literacy tests nationwide, although in most states this is not an issue. At the same time, it would undermine the enforceability of the existing law in the South by eliminating the advance Justice Department review of new voting statutes required under the 1965 act. Regarded as a sop to white Southerners who have long opposed civil rights legislation aimed solely at their region, the measure has alienated not only Negroes but a number of important members of Nixon's own party.

The group urges California officials to launch "a thorough review of the whole spectrum of present educational policy, especially as to admission qualifications and content of curriculum." Better communication among the different elements of the college is also vital: "Steps must be taken to bring president, faculty and students truly together in critical periods." Without such reforms, said the group, the future is bleak: "An overriding public opinion may force the conversion of San Francisco State and other colleges into screened and guarded...
