Rising Feeling Of Educators
AGAINST Foundations Noted

and with hard-sell promotion

theories.
Foundation sources scott al
the complaints and the charges.
Some complaints they attribute
Ito disgruntled educators who
have been turned down wher
they sought foundation grants
others to misunderstanding OF
ignorance of what foundations
are and what they do.
When the educators speak
about foundations, their pro-
tests are voiced quietly in Off
the-reco-d conversations.
Reasons for Silence
There are two major reasons
for what appears. at first
glance, to be almost q con-
spiracy of silence:
First, the educators stand al
most in awe Of the tremendous
good the foundations have
done and can do for education;
foundation grants have spark

ment of the results of the ex-
pertinent"
This complaint has been
made about many projects
sponsored by the Ford Founda-
ton, but most often and most
vehemently about its efforts in
the field of educational tele-
vision.
The Ford Foundation has
primed the educational tele-
vision pump to the tune of
nearly $50 million. Foundation
officials have praised ETY. as
one of the greatest breaks
through in the history of edu-
cation.
A great number of recognized
and respected educators refuse
to share the Ford Foundations
boundless enthusiasm. At the
least, they think ETY. has vet
to prove itself. At the most,
they believe, the Ford Founda-
ton is trying to sell the public
a bill of goods.

In a statement issued last
February the association said,

There is a growing uneaSi-

are being used to shape public
policy pertaining to education

the most exciting developments
in education in the past decade.
Second, at a time when edu-
cational dollars are sorely
needed but hard to come by
no one wants to kick the geese
that lay the golden eggs.
A case in point:
Last spring, the president OF
one of the nations largest uni
versities was speaking at 9
small dinner party. He depart
ed from his prepared text anC
ripped into the big foundations
with bitter scorn, accusing
them of trying to dictate edu.
cational policy from first grade
through graduate school.
No reporters were present
but word of his attack Leaked
out. Reached by telephone, the
university president declined al
comment for the record.
On a not-for- attributior
basis, however, he made this
statement: 1.-The situation 1,
deplorable. particularly since
the general public isn't aware
of it. The foundations pose
a dangerous threat to our en-.
tire educational structure"
Then why wouldn't he speak
out? Because my own uni

would not be right for me as
an individual to do or say any

will shout in concert what they
decline to say publicly as in

Hearing Rules

Last year, with overwhelm.
ing support, the Montgomery
County Council passed a Pub
lie Accommodations Law. This
year, the new Council wants to
rescind 1t.
The Council has scheduled
public hearings and has stated
the ground rules. These are Cd
to limit each individual state
ment to 10 minutes, and 90
to allow only 80 minutes total
for each side to present its
views.
The individual 10 minute
limitation is not new. What is
unique and without precedent
is the overall limitation of 80
minutes for each side. In a
matter of such great concern
TO the county, this total limit
is completely inadequate.
Our whole structure of local
government and the whole
idea of public hearings is to
allow all interested citizens to
be heard. This limitation, arbi.
trarily imposed by the Council,
is tantamount to gagging the

From This Angle
Fuss in Fros+burg

When college and university students
begin kicking up their heels, examining into
telephone booths, or chopping UP old pianos
in record time we can usually credit such
activities to spring and youthful burst of
energy When students begin picketing and
demonstrating on an issue identified by some
as academic freedom, it is time to take
closer look at the cause Of such activity. In
many nations of the world student demon.
STATIONS have flared when freedom was
threatened.
The student demonstrations against the
action Of the president of Frostburg State
Teachers College is apparently based on the
administrations failure to renew the contract
of four English teachers and the controversy
over four books. Also included in the news
stories was attempted censorship of four lines
of play, "The American Dream"
Press reports indicate that the presidents
reason for renewing teachers contracts are
usefulness and service to the college. re.
search, value to the community. and maturity.
The four teachers about to be dismissed were

values In the opinion OF the college admins.
tration.
In view of the press statements and i'm
plications that the conservative standards Of
Frostburg were at least in part responsible
for the controversy and the action of the adj
ministration, it might be a good idea if the
term value to the community" were defined
by the administration. 1t would seem that
teachers who have great usefulness and give
fine service to the college are of great value
to the community.
I am not qualified to pass opinions on
what books and plays should be used in a
State Teachers College. Neither, necessarily,
are businessmen, town leaders, clergymen or
other prominent citizens of Frostburg or any
other community. The judgment of literature
requires, training study, considerable reading,
and thought which do not necessarily accrue

Keep The Law!

We are new residents of the
Washington area who wish to
express our strong support Of
the anti-discrimination public
accommodation ordinance now
in effect in Montgomery Coun-
ty. We feel strongly that it
would be extremely unfortu-
nate if the County Council
voted to repeal this ordinance
as some are now proposing to
do. 1t is our earnest belief that
we have a moral imperative in
this country to insure insofar
as it is in our power, that no
citizen of the United States nor
visitor to our country should
be deprived of any goods or
services he seeks, on account
of his color, race or creed. The
legacy of segregation which
has been part of the mores Of
this nation needs to be re-
placed by enlightened legisla-
ton and public concern. This
ordinance is one specific ex-
ample of progress which the
citizens of Montgomery Coun-
ty have made. Though its
coverage is not complete it still
creates a state of affairs much
to be preferred over that which
was obtained prior to its enact
ment. Let's keep it!

Time for Self Respect!

It is rapidly beginning to appear that the County
Council performed disservce to both itself and the gen.
era public by accedng to Councilman John Henry Hsers
nsistence that consideration be given to repeating the
county's public accommodations ordinance
Public opinion against such repeal is beginning to
swell and there is good chance that before long the
Council may realize that to consider striking down the
anbias law is the most controversial thing it could have
undertaken and one that do it great harm politically.
That repeal of the law Is not a party matter-but
bascally the personal prejudice of pitifuy small hand
full of county czens-became apparent when the Mary
land Republican chairman David Soul, revealed that he
would speak against repeal He stressed that he speak
ing individual but he certainly would not-as
inivduago against the wishes of the state Republican
argue against repeal And the Montgomery County Repub
hcan State Central Committee has decided formally not
to take a stand the question
Despite this hands off policy of formal Republican
groups the public will have hard time disassocating
repeal of the ordinance during Republican administration
from COP policy, however
What the Council may have overlooked in seriously
considering aSng the law that most county residents

And to do away with the law when there is public
demand for such STEP is virtually open admission that

and strong of simple justice the controlling

soon choose which path to take.
Meanwhile it is to be earnestly hoped that those

Decade Of the Average
Welsh Rare Bit :

One Of the best investments 1 ever made
was during the depression while was In
college. I walked into the college store and
bought a Lifetime fountain pen. 1t was
green and had a little white dot inlaid In
the top.
It occurs to me that men produced
many great mechanical devices during the
depression. When we could not make money
we created art. This was true of articles
ranging from fountain pens to Marmon Six.
teens and Duesenbergs. Those pens and
automobiles were made to last several life
times, and, If they were not destroyed or
lost, lived up to their promise.
became attached to my green fountain
pen. wrote every paper and examination
which I took in college and law school with
this pen. Sometimes wrote the examine
ton twice with it, but don't like to think
OF those times. I also wrote many bar
exams with it, and used it every day until
the time lost it several years ago. 1t was
as much part of me as the old watch I
carry or the ring on my finger. Perhaps
even more so, because its smooth and con-
sistent functoning was sort of lifelike I do
not know if it would write under water or
on butter because l use waterless desk
without butter spread.
It ran out of Ink only when 1 was writ.
ing with it. Most old time pens were like
that. But tOday's pens run out of ink just
after they have been filled. i don't know
just why that Is, but think it Is so.
Some of today's pens don't need filling.
I don't know where the ink comes from with
which they write. But I prefer the pens
which come already filled which do not
