-2- Out of these personal conversations, RILEEH was born to expand the horizons of educational aspiration both at Iowa and in the South. THE FUTURE Title III of the Higher Education Act provides financing for the kinds of cooperative programs outlined above. Fifty-five million dollars were authorized for the first year's operation, but 5 million has been appropriated for the present fiscal year. Five million means slightly more that $1 for each college student in the nation, or a relatively small cut of pie for each of the 122 "developing" Negro schools in the South plus hundreds of community and junior colleges that are struggling into existence throughout the country. Nevertheless, building on the experience provided RILEEH, both Rust and LeMoyne plan to submit proposals under Title III, naming the U. of I. as reciprocating agent in the cooperative alliance. If the U.S. Office of Education acts favorably, the venture will widen its programs in the years ahead. A CALL TO ACTION But for the present, we must bring RILEEH to life ourselves, and then our 25,000 friends and colleagues throughout the University, whether they would like to add their resources to this project. RILEEH invites the participation of every student, faculty, and staff member on campus, both individually and as members of organized groups. The program needs talents and money. It needs the willingness to spend a week or two, or a semester, in the South and the willingness to receive visitors from Memphis and Holy Springs on our campus. It invites your affirmation to help publicize, your contribution to help finance, and your skill to implement one of the greatest adventures that education offers today.
