Reaction varies in Bakke case
Bv the Associated Press
The factions that were evident during the time the Supreme Court took to decide the Allan Bakke case have again emerged with the court's ruling that allows Bakke to enter
University Daily Kansan
The court said the California medical school that Bakke tried to enter illegally discriminated against a white applicant because of his race.
Most legal experts, civil rights leaders and academic authorities said they were encouraged by the fact that the court said it had not heard evidence in future college admission programs.
Like the court itself, however, the reaction was split over the issue of racial quotas. The justices issued seven separate opinions in the 54 decision.
Allan Bakke, 38, was twice rejected by the University of California medical school at Davis. Bakke charged that the school's admissions policy unconstitutionally set aside 16 of 100 positions for racial minorities.
THE MAJORITY OPINION handed down yesterday said that strict racial quotas or goals were illegal but that other affirmative actions were necessary. Some past discrimination were permissible.
Bakke, who lives in Los Altos, Calif., and works at the Ames Research Center, a NASA facility in Mountainview, Calif., only said. "We are pleased with this decision. I'm not going to make any further comment."
Asked whether he would go to medical school in the fall, he said, "Yes."
One of his lawyers, Robert Links, reported a telephone conversation with Bake earlier in the day. Links said, "He asked if they did it! I said, No, we didn't. You did."
"Links said he thought the university would be able to formulate a "more acceptable" policy."
JOHN TUPPER, dean of the medical school, said, "We will obey the law."
He declined further comment, pending a review of the decision.

DePalma & DeNiro:
Alan M. Derschwitz, a law professor at Harvard University, said the decision was "an act of judicial statesmanship that will in history not in history for what it did, but for what it didn't do. It neither legitimized racial quotas nor put down affirmative action, and it neither will decide what kind of admissions offer a lot harder. It will make them look at people as persons, not as members of a group and not as computerized ciphers."
PETER COHN, co-counsel for the regional office of the NAACP in Washington, said, "I think this is a very sad day in the life of our children. We represent a step back in time, even though the initial report sounds favorable to minority admissions programs. To suggest that the policy of reserving 16 out of 100 students from the classroom class is unfair is absolutely absurd."
The complexity of the ruling caused the initial disarmy to cautious praise.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson said the ruling would have negative effects on affirmative action.
The Association of American Medical Colleges said first that it was disappointed by the ruling. Later, in a further statement, the association said it would not thoroughly review this decision, we
believe the Supreme Court in the Bakek case has only disapproved of the use of rigid quotas or goals based on race in the admissions process. We are pleased that the majority of the court accepts the use of race as one element in the selection of students. We believe that the district deserves to have schools with opportunities to continue effective efforts to increase admission of underrepresented minority students to medicine."
He said, "We are pleased that the majority of the court endorsed the constitutionality of affirmative action programs taking race into account."
JOHN YOR, PRESIDENT of the National Education Association, said the group was disappointed that the court had struck down the University of California at Berkeley.
"Joseph L. Rauh Jr., vice president of the American or Democratic Action, had aAmerica action," he said.
"The important thing about the Bakke decision is not that Bakke can go to medical school but that the racists who wanted to turn back the clock on minority prosecution have been showing up." He said, "The Supreme Court's decision that race is a proper factor in admissions decisions is the legal concrete on which further affirmative action progress can be made. The Court attrack a show reminding past wrongs and催着 a more equal society."
