RILEEH, ca. 1966

""Equal Educational Opportunities"" by Corinne Janssens Page 14

Union Board Programs; no art shows, and no one who has lived outside this restricted environment to help the students create goals and aspirations to give them the incentive to strive for something more than minimal living standards.
A call for help
The immediate answer to these and the myriad of other problems-the way in which the U of I can help-is two-fold: faculty and funds. Toward these ends the RILEEH committee has pledged itself to the collection of $10,000 to finance exchange students and group, as well as cultural, exchanges; provide special education assistance; and develop student loan programs.
RILEEH has also invited the participation of every student, and every faculty and staff member. on campus - both as individuals and as members of groups - to give their financial support or their instructional and advisory service.
Help is needed in such diverse areas as serving as an exchange faculty member for a semester or a year; acting as an advisor to set up academic and administrative programs and conduct in-service training sessions for a few days or weeks during the academic year; hosting visitors from these colleges while they are on the U of I campus; and teaching and counseling during the summer student exchange program.
Instructors are particularly needed in the areas of remedial reading and mathematics, personal and vocational guidance, audiovisual instruction, and the social sciences. 
While both colleges hope to set up newspapers and initiate journalism courses, Rust's need in this area is particularly drastic, for a Rust publication would also seek to serve the Negro community at large, in the absence of any voice in existing local media.
A number of University personnel and students have already given their support in the past few years, mainly under the sponsorship of MSP and local churches, on short- and long- term bases to help set up programs in each of the colleges, or to teach in the Summer Student Exchange program, sponsored last year by MSP and intended to be enlarged this year by MSP and intended to be enlarged this year by RILEEH to include many more students.
The advantages of exchange teaching are not all one-way; both environments offer rich opportunities for study, field work, and research, as well as for pioneering and personal growth. Furthermore, salaries and assistant ships under the HEA will be equivalent to those paid by the University of Iowa- in some cases both better--and both colleges provide living quarters at lower rates for long-term faculty exchanges. (Detailed information may be secured from Dean Philip Hubbard's office.)
The challenge presented by such need as represented by these two institutions offers the chance for members of the U of I community to make a significant contribution to the march of freedom through education.
