Report Charges Discrimination
Against Jews in College Posts.
U' PROFESSORS:
Laud Service Option Proposal

WASHINGTON-A report re-
leasd here last week charges dis-
criination and bias prevent Jews'
from holding top administrative
posts in the nation's nonsectarian
colleges and universities.
The results of a six-month sur-
vey of 775 nonsectarian private
and public colleges and univer-
sities were made public at a meet-
ing of the American Jewish Com-
mitt
According to the results:
-Although between 10 and 12
per cent of the 775 institutions'
student bodies and faculties are
composed of Jews, less than one
per cent hold presidential posi-
tions.
No Jews Appointed
-Since 1949, it is estimated ap-
proximately 1,000 vacancies in the
presidencies of public-supported
institutions have occurred, but un-
til the recent appointment of Dr.
Martin Meyerson as president of
the Buffalo campus of State Uni-
versity of New York, no appoint-
ments had gone to Jews.
-Of the 1,720 deans in the
775 institutions, 45 or 2.6 per cent
are Jews. Of these, 29 are in six
institutions. In the remaining 769
institutions, there are only 16
Jewish deans, again fewer than
one per cent.
Only five of the 397 private col-
leges and universities surveyed
have Jewish presidents. These in-
clude Bennington College, Bran-
des University, which though
Jewish-founded is nondenomina-
tional, Chicago Medical School,
Lincoln University and Sarah
Lawrence College.
Prejudice from Outside
According to the report, preju-
dice appears in positions where
"the man chosen would represent
the institution to the outside
world. Those responsible for selec-
tion evidently felt that if a Jew
were picked for such a post, he
might be handicapped by prejudice
on the part of those with whom he
.might deal."
Morris B. Abram, AJC president,
said the report would be forwarded
to all groups in the community
concerned with selection of college
or university administrators, in-
cluding boards of trustees, boards
of regents, appropriate legislative
committees and officials of the
U.S. Office of Education.
'The Paper'
Plans Issue
For Today
(Continued from Page 1)
With The Paper still being sold
on campus without the board's
authorization the problem of the
board's withdrawal appears to be
a matter of principle. A major
question raised by the situation
concerns the action being taken
against the publication as a whole,
rather than against the individual
authors of the respective articles
and the editor as is usually done.
-When asked if the same action
would have been taken against
the Michigan State News, Senger
replied "in the case of the school
newspaper, we would have been
more likely to take disciplinary
action on the individual editor
rather than on the entire paper.
XQwever, getting rid of Kindman
would be like wiping out the en-
tire paper anyway," concluded
Senger.
KZ indmnan's reply to this is that
it illustrates his contention that
the board's action was a result of
past dissatisfaction with The Pa-
per. Ebel said "the relationship
between The Paper and the board
has always been shaky, their ap-
proach has been antagonistic rath-
er than educational."
"Whether or not the board's
action will be followed by univer-
sity action banning the distribu-
tion of The Paper will very likely
come clear today, when about 5000
issues of the newspaper are sched-
uled to be sold on campus.
Included in this issue will be a
sequel to the May 12 story on
nudity. "This issue will finally
disclose the point of the story
which was not made clear in the
first article," quipped Kindman.
Abram stressed the report did
not advocate Jews being represent-
ed among college and university
administrators with any particular
ratio.
Reveal Facts
"It's sole intent is to lay the
facts on the table, as a first step
toward remedial action," he ex-
plained.
Historically, campus barriers
against Jews were raised in the
1920's, the report adds, while re-
trictive policies were set up
against Jewish teachers not long
afterward.
The Jewish teacher barriers
came down in the late 1930's, and
today Jews constitute more than
15 per cent of the faculties as such
institutions as California, Colum-
bia, Harvard, Pennsylvania, and
Princeton, according to the report.
Deferments Not Desirable
For Program Volunteers
(Continued from Page 1)
cent of the 1.5 million served in
some military capacity..
About 31 per cenit of the 1.5
million were rejected for physical
or mental deficiencies. Another 25
per cent were qualified for serv-
ice, it was estimated, but did not
go into uniform. They neither vol-
unteered nor were drafted.
It is this latter group that U.S.
officials apparently believe have
the biggest obligation to perform
some kind of service.
Meanwhile, mounting congres-
sional demands for an investiga-
tion of the draft system culmin-
ated yesterday in two separate
House resolutions to do this.
In the Senate, Sen. Gaylord Nel-
son (D-Wis) called for appoint-
ment of a presidential commission
to review "many inconsistencies
and inequities" in the Selective
Service.
Rep. William E. Minshall (R-
Ohio) sponsored a resolution call-
ing for appointment of a special
House committee to investigate the
draft system.
Laws Not Adequate
He said present Selective Serv-
ice laws "no more fill today's mili-
tary requirements than would the
horse cavalry, the B-17 or the
Springfield rifle."
In the Senate, Nelson introduced
a resolution asking that a special
presidential commission report by
next Feb. 1 "all alternative means
available for meeting the nation's
manpower needs."
The ,proposal drew immediate
verbal support from Sens. Edward
M. Kennedy (D-Mass), Jacob K.
Javits (R-NY) and Ernest Gruen-
ing (D-Alaska).
Gruening suggested that the mil-
itary draft be suspended until the
commission reports, saying that
while thousands of South Vietna-
mese are deserting their armed
forces young Americans are being
drafted to fight and die in sup-
port of a corrupt and rotten re-
gime.
(Continued from Page 1)
This left little doubt that the
proposal had the full approval of
the administration. A copy also
went to the State Department.
Idea 'a Concept'
Moyers emphasized that McNa-
mara's speech was "a concept"
rather than a specific proposal,
telling reporters he knew of no
legislation being prepared on the
subject.
"Secretary McNamara was talk-
ing about a concept of public serv-
ice, a concept which the President
has had for some time," Moyers
said.
The proposal seemed certain to
spark a national debate.
McNamara's suggestion; almost
revolutionary in its scope and
magnitude, brought a wide range
of responses - from enthusiastic
approval to flat rejection.
..'Community of Effort'
In the proposal, McNamara sug-
gested that a universal service
program would be 'a step toward
development of a worldwide "com-
munity of effort." Questioned
about it later, McNamara said it
would include young women "but
it will only be under a voluntary
basis at first."
Sargent Shriver, the Peace
Corps' first director and now head
of President Johnson's antipoverty
agency, said: "From my own ex-
perience in the Peace Corps and
the war on poverty I know of the
tremendous need for unselfish
sevice at home or abroad. From
that same experience, I know that
America's youth is ready to re-
spond."
McNamara said his plan would
overcome the present "inequality"
of the military draft system, which
calls up only a minority of eligible
young men.
In the legislation he hopes will
"ultimately be enacted," he said,
the choice to be put to a young
man-the military or the Peace
Corps, for example - would be
voluntary, "at least initially."
Security Depends on Progress
He argued that international
security in the thermonuclear age
depends not on weapons but on
economic, social and political pro-
gress in the underdeveloped na-
tions of the world.
Rep. William Fitts Ryan (D-
NY), together with a group of
like - minded representatives and
senators, planned to ask for a
study of the U.S. draft system,
with recommendations for changes
along the lines suggested by Mc-
Namara.
But Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss),
chairman of the Senate Prepared-
ness Committee declared:
"While I'm sure the secretary
made his proposal in good faith, I
don't think it would meet our mil-
itary needs any better than pres-
ent arrangements, and I'm /afraid
it would tend to confuse the situa-
tion."
'Utterly Preposterous'
Rep. William Bray (R-Ind) call-
ed it "utterly preposterous." He
said Congress long ago buried the
notion of universal military train-
ing and would not permit drafting
of young people into other forms
of service.
There were even objections from
an unexpected quarter. Ben Sea-
ver, a counselor on conscientious
objection for the American Friends
(Quakers) Service Committee, said
"There are people who object to
the government telling you how
you have to spend two years of
your life. These people will con-
tinue to go to prison.
The Students for a Democratic
Society, long an advocate of some
kind of alternative to the draft,
said McNamara's proposal was
"far from adequate."
Paul Booth, national SDS sec-
retary, said the plan is "in theory"]
similar to one championed by anti-
draft groups but is deficient in
that the government would super-
vise it and it wouldn't give young
people a choice. Booth added:
"We like to think that, if given
the choice, this generation would
choose to build instead of burn.
I'm afraid of the compulsory as-
pects of this. So many times, pro-
jects have begun nonmilitary only
to turn out to be military."
There were other doubts on the
grounds of expense. Universal
military service-every young man
serves, with no deferments except
for physical reasons-was consid-
ered during the Eisenhower ad-
ministration but rejected because
of the cost.
