Mr. FOGARTY. Are there any age barriers in the recruitment of these teachers?

Mr. ZELLERS. No, sir.

Mr. FOGARTY. It seems to me in the antipoverty program there are some age barriers. They want young people in the Vista program. Mr. ZELLERS. This should appeal primarily to the younger people but we have fixed no age limit and there is none in the statute.

Mr. FOGARTY. I had a meeting with some members of the golden age group in my district 2 or 3 weeks ago and they are complaining about that. There are a lot of women in the older age brackets who could be doing homemaker work in these areas. They had a meeting with the Antipoverty program people and they said they were looking for younger people. Then I saw a picture of a lady in the paper yesterday, a teacher 78 years old who evidently is doing a real good job.

Mr. FLOOD. I told you we just started a project a couple of days ago, using 18 older people as part of the staff.

Mr. FOGARTY. I would think some of the older people might be a good source of recruitment in this area. I think they feel they are left out.

Mr. ZELLERS. I think it will be the recent college graduates, people who are still looking for a career. In addition to that I think some housewives or mothers who at one time have been teachers and have now raised a family and might want to go into something gainful might also be attracted.

Mr. FOGARTY. It seems to me they ought to pay a little more attention to the older ones than they are at the present time from what I heard from these groups that I talked to.

COMPARISON OF INCREASES IN FAMILY INCOME AND COST OF EDUCATION

We hear a lot about the costs of a college education going up. I guess everybody agrees with that. I have never seen a comparison of these costs with the increase in family income. Can we get someone to prepare a table showing both statistics for 1940 and the percentage increase each fifth year since then for both the cost of college education and average family income? Is that possible?

Mr. MUIRHEAD. We will do the best we can.

Mr. FLOOD. You are including board and room and tuition for a year?

Mr. FOGARTY. Everything.

Mr. FLOOD. Will you approximate the figure for what else a student pays? I saw the other day where Smith will be at $3,200. Mr. MUIRHEAD. Yes.

Mr. FLOOD. That is tuition, board and room. This does not include textbooks, and odds and ends and a couple of bucks in the purse for the movies and things like that. Incidentally, I do not cite Smith as a good example of average costs.

Mr. FOGARTY. We want the average.

(The requested information follows:)

Comparison of median family income with heads aged 35 to 54 years, the Consumer Price Inder, and the estimated mean cost of attending college for selected years, 1940-65

[blocks in formation]

1 From reports of the Census Bureau. These family income figures are for heads 35-54 years, inclusive, which is the age group of the majority of heads with children of college age (18-21 years).

From reports of the Bureau of Labor Statistics; base year, 1940 =100.

Estimated by the Division of Higher Education, Office of Education, U.S. Department of health, Education, and Welfare, and submitted by Commissioner Francis Keppel in testimony before the House of Representatives Special Subcommittee on Education of the Committee on Education and Labor; Feb. 1, 1966. The figures are for current expenditures of single, nonveteran, undergraduste students living away from home and do not include capital expenditures for such items as typewriters, phonographs, radio, and television sets.

For the year 1964, since the 1965 income figures have not yet been released
■Census Bureau figures from the 1940 census enumeration for the calendar year 1939.

Mr. FOGARTY. Mr. Michel.

GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING INSTITUTIONS

Mr. MICHEL. Doctor, in the strengthening of developing institutions, who draws the guidelines? Is this done strictly by the Federal Government?

Mr. MUIRHEAD. The responsibility does reside with the Office of Education but the statute again is quite definite in requiring that they shall call upon the advice of an advisory committee. The advisory committee has just been appointed for the developing institutions. They will be convened and we will present to them the results of our staff work which has been developed in consultation with representatives from the higher education community up to this point. Mr. MICHEL. Who makes up this advisory committee? Mr. MUIRHEAD. I can provide you the names.

Mr. MICHEL. Would you provide the names, and in the interest of time, just briefly, do they come heavily weighted in favor of bigger nstitutions or smaller ones? How is that committee made up? I am always a little wary of how we get some of these people.

Mr. MUIRHEAD. I think the best thing I can do is give you the names of the people and let you draw your own conclusions. We try to provide a mix on this Advisory Committee that would represent the smaller institutions, that would represent the larger institutions that might be working in tandem with the smaller institutions, that would also in turn represent the foundations who for quite a number of years have been addressing themselves to this problem. Carnegie Corp., Ford Foundation, and the United Negro College Fund have all been giving attention to this problem. For example, Dr. Patterson of the

United Negro College Fund is on the Advisory Committee. The executive secretary for the Council of Small Colleges, Mr. Hill, is on the Advisory Committee. We have tried to get a mix of people that have an interest in this whole problem.

Mr. MICHEL. Are these funds allocated to the several States by any formula?

Mr. MUIRHEAD. No; the funds under this program are not allocated to the States. They will be distributed on a project by project basis.

TYPE OF INSTITUTION THAT MIGHT APPLY

Mr. MICHEL. By happenstance, I read of a college that is just getting started some place out in Nebraska. It so happens that one of our recently deposed basketball coaches is going to end up being athletic director and another old friend is the president. Obviously they are starting from scratch out in the cornfield someplace. Maybe there will be more like this. I do not know. Is this the kind of organization that will apply for help under this type of program?

Mr. MUIRHEAD. I think it is quite reasonable to assume that they will apply for help under the program. As to whether or not they will get a priority consideration this will have to rest upon the advice of the Advisory Committee. I think they in turn would want to put their money where there is promise for improved quality.

ROLE OF STATES IN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANTS PROGRAM

Mr. MICHEL. In the educational opportunity grants program, do we have all Federal standards, or do the States come into the picture here?

Mr. MUIRHEAD. The States do come into the picture under this program, the money is distributed to the States in terms of the number of young people of college age and the college enrollment in the State and the number of young people from families below a poverty level income. It is that combination of factors that determines the State allocation. Then the responsibility rests with the colleges under this program. The law says what the State allotment will be. We, in turn, turn to the college and say, "If you wish to participate in this program, how are you going to go about it and what will your needs be?" They have done that. We have received their applications. Then we will call in and have scheduled to appear next week, I think, an advisory panel, representing a pretty good cross section of higher education who will review these proposals.

NAMES OF ADVISORY PANEL

Mr. MICHEL. May we have the names of that advisory panel in the record?

Mr. MUIRHEAD. Yes, sir.
