Black graduate increase stressed Missouri coordinator says
The ability to retain black students until graduation is the key to continuing black enrollment increases in universities, Carolyn Dorsey, coorderate of black studies at the University of Missouri at Columbia, said last night.
Dorsey, who spoke at a Black History Month lecture, said that statistics on black enrollment were not as accurate as are on the numbers of blacks earning degrees.
"The enrolment figures have grown," she said, "but the emphasis should be on the results."
Three factors account for the difference between the number of blacks enrolled in liberal arts and vocational post-secondary colleges, as well as the number leaving with degrees. Dorsey said.
The first of those, she said, was a problem of blacks getting into the schools of their choice. Frequently, she said, blacks were more likely to enter white schools because of outright racial discrimination.
"Some students cannot cope with individual acts of racism," she said.
Secondly, Dorsey said, blacks have found restricted distribution—a limited variety of fields open to them in the job market. She said blacks typically have been limited to careers in education, business and the social sciences.
"Even though conditions have improved," she said. "there are many barriers that we face."
Thirdly, Dorsey said, blacks who do pursue a course of study at an institution of their choice may need extra support to make it to graduation.
She said statistics released by the National Urban Air Quality indicated that 10 percent of total blair enrollment was at two-year community colleges or at vocational and technical schools.
Most of those students, she said, would not continue their education and would earn a degree.
Dorsey said a task force at MU, appointed

A $500 reward has been offered for information leading to the return of five gold medals that were stolen from Malott Hall Sunday.
The biologist, Mike Bronsoil, said recently that snow blocked sunlight from water plants, stopping the photosynthesis of oxygen.
When the fish have used all the dissolved oxygen in the water they suffocate,
She said the task force probably would help bring about major changes in the way the company is doing.
Bronisaki said the snow cover also kept the owl from eating seeds on the ground.
KU police said the medals, valued at 800, were stolen Sunday afternoon from a building on New York's Upper West Side.

But the number of quail for this fall's hunting season will depend more on the spring's breeding than on the number of quail that die this winter, he said.
The medals were awarded to Elmer M. McCollum, a 1904 KU chemistry graduate, by several foundations and corporations for his research in chemistry. John A. Landerbeck, professor of chemistry.
Only the fish and quail are having a hard time because of the winter, he said. Deer have been able to finely to eat their problem is moving in the deep snow, he said.
McColm is credited with discovering vitamins A and D, Landgrebbe said.

A jack may have been jumbed to remove the glass door, he said.
Landgrebe said the theft was discovered by two students who noticed that a sliding glass door had been removed from the display case.
Landgrebe said persons with information about the theft should contact the chemistry department.

INTRODUCING THE1979 41/2DOOR DASHER NOW ALLTHAT ROOM IS A LOT EASIER TO GET TO.
Obviously, the 1/2 of a door is a hatchback.
And what it does is make the 29.3 cubic feet of cargo space very accessible (with the rear seat down).
And once inside, you'll find it surprisingly luxurious with crushed velour upholstery. Once test driven, you'll easily experience the rewarding sportiness as it goes from 0 to 50 in 84 seconds.
And as for gas mileage, you'll be thrilled to know that it gets an EPA estimated [23] mpg and 37 mpg estimated highway mileage. (Compare this estimate to the "Estimated MPG" of other cars. Your mileage may vary with speed, weather and trip length. Highway mileage will probably be less.)
Like all our other Volkswagens, you'll find the whole thing very easy to get into.
So when you come into our showroom looking for the new Dasher Hatchback, ask for the Dasher with the other 1/2 of a door.
