WASHINGTON M) - The fed-
eral government yesterday an-
nounced a set of guidelines re-
quiring colleges in six Southern
states to increase enrollment of
blacks within five years.
lThe Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW)
submitted the goals and time-
tables for desegregation to U.S.
District Court Judge John Pratt
in response to a court order.
THE NEW desegregation plan
affects Florida, Georgia, North
Carolina, Oklahoma, Arkansas
and Virginia.,
Pratt had ordered the guide-
lines in April in response to a
suit filed in the District of Co-
ltmbia by civil rights groups
charging that HEW failed to en-
force part of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 which bars racial
discrimination by institutions re-
ceiving federal money.
HEW Secretary Joseph Cali-
fano, Jr., blamed the failureof
HEW to press for desegregation
on the Nixon administration and
said he hoped that similar law-
suits would not be needed in the
future.
GIVEN THE previous admin-
istration's record on civil rights,
I can understand why such suits
have been brought."
In 1972, Judge Pratt initially

10 states that had legally man-
dated segregated higher educa-
The other four states-Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Maryland and
Pennsylvania-are involved in
civil rights lawsuits on the prob-
lem elsewhere and were not in-
cluded in Pratt's latest order.
THE HEW guidelines will re-
quire evidence of progress to-
ward desegregation. However,
Califano emphasized that the
new goals and timetables were
guidelines ro quotas.
"The department is opposed to
the use of arbitrary quotas in ci-
vil rights enforcement," Call-
fano said. "Failure to achieve a
goal set forth in the criteria will
not be sufficient evidence, stand-
ing alone, to establish a viola-
tion - - -
"The goals do, however, set
out specific benchmarks which
will help us measure progress
towards elimination of unconsti-
tutional de jure set by law racial
segregation."
THE REQUIREMENTS apply
to state-supported educational
systems, not private . schools,
HEW said,
Major goals listed in the new
guidelines include the following:
0 First, at the end of five
years, there should be an in-
crease in the total number of
blacks attending all public col-
leges, both predominantly black
as well as white institutions.
This goal requires that efforts
be made to insure that equal
percentages of black and white
high school graduates enter col-
lege.
* Second, there should be in-
creased black enrollment at
four-year white colleges at the
end of five years, with each in-
stitution showinag an annual in-
. crease in blacks.
Under this goal the disparity
between the relative low percen-
tage of blacks enrolling and the

higher white pereen
