Individual delegates would not discuss the possible effectstof the lobby last night. They plan a large press conference today. From first reports, it appears two important effects could develop from the lobby: -1) The pressure could cause legislators to ask for a change in present administration policy, although many observors don't State Bod HONORS CONVOCATION: OK's Unified' Budget Plan The State Board of Education told the state-supported schools to go ahead with plans to prepare a unified budget request for 1966- 1967 at a meeting of the Michigan Coordinating Council for Public Higher Education this week.

By MARK R. KILLINGSWORTH Special To The Daily TUSKEGEE, Ala. - "We knew we weren't going to get any spectacular results when we first started out," Tuskegee Institute sociology professor Charles Go- million said recently in an inter- view. "But the situation has changed. There are many more tools at our command, and we, intend to use them to attack the lamentable lack of educational, economic and social democracy in M a c o n county." The role of the Tuskegee Civic Association has been significant in providing these tools, observers say. Gomillion, its president, ex- plained that a small, informal Negro group started out in the 1920's by discussing ways to im- prove their community. Gomillion feels that the road to future progress in the county "will depend largely upon the quality of political action and local govern- ment." He says that education will be a crucial factor in improving the ' Negro's ability to get a job, and in improving his environment and his standard of living-and notes that in the 1950's per-pupil state aid to Negro schools was still 40 per cent below that given to whites. Since 1963 the school system has technically been integrated, but the state board of education has closed one high school for "economy." Another burned to the ground under mysterious circum- stances. Three remaining school buildings "are in deplorable con- dition-and I don't see how we'll get any state money to improve them."

Curriculum Issue Faces Early Vote Plan Advocates Approve of Greater Responsibility in Course Selections By JUDY STONEHILL The literary'college's curriculum committee report calling for a decrease in distribution 'requirements will come to a vote at a spe- cial faculty meeting Monday, April 19, if debate is completed. The proposal fOr revision of the present requirements was first submitted by the curriculum committee, headed by Prof. Louis Orlin of the Near Eastern Language and Literature department, at a faculty meeting April 5. The argument supporting the change is that a student will have a greater selection, and therefore a greater responsibility-An choos- ing his courses. Distribution, if the proposal passes, will no longer be based on credit hours, but on courses. Away from Paternalism "We want to get away from college paternalism," Orlin said.
