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.

Mr. MUIRHEAD. They will apply their standard of reasonableness to these proposals.

Mr. FLOOD. Would a so-called State normal school or college concentrating on teaching, a State institution, rate either of these programs? Mr. MUIRHEAD. They certainly would rate for consideration under the developing institutions program and they would be clearly qualified for participation in the opportunity grants program.

ACTIVE RECRUITMENT OF PROMISING TALENT

The opportunity grants program, if I might just say so for the record, is designed to encourage the colleges to seek out these young people-to perhaps change their recruiting behavior, so when they do go to the high school to recruit they do not always go to Scarsdale or the rich suburban high school. They will go to the school on the other side of the track and seek out the young people. Interestingly enough, and I think with a great deal of wisdom, the Congress imbedded in this program the concept that the college could make a commitment to a young person early in his high school career. Quite often in the 12th year, he has reached the point of no return. He has given up hope and his family has discouraged him and he is ready to take a job. Yet he might be of rather outstanding ability. This law would permit the college to go to him in his sophomore or perhaps even his freshman year and say, "If you tend to your knitting and do a good job in high school there is a chance and we can help you."

Mr. FLOOD. In other words, you are going to do what the football people have been doing for 30 or 40 years.

Mr. MUIRHEAD. Yes. It is high time we did. The football people have been doing it for 30 or 40 years, in order to encourage talent to go on and develop.

ADVISORY PANEL FOR UNDERGRADUATE INSTRUCTIONAL EQUIPMENT

Mr. MICHELL. In the undergraduate instructional equipment category, do you have an advisory committee?

Mr. MUIRHEAD. We do not have a statutory advisory committee, but we do, as we do in all the programs, appoint people to advise us. I am reluctant to say advisory committee because that is statutory language. We do appoint advisory panels to come in and help us review the proposals.

BRADLEY APPLICATION

Mr. MICHEL. I ask this because Bradley University in Peoria, Ill., assisted in preparing an application by the Tri-County Research Foundation for the Illinois Valley Educational Services Center. Perhaps they were a little ambitious in their proposal, but at the State level they received highest priority. It seemed automatic even though the request was a big chunk of the State's allocation. It was denied.

Then subsequent to the denial, or probably coincident with it, there was an announcement that a number of smaller requests had received approval. Are you very concerned about a big request even when it can serve a good purpose or do you favor a number of little ones, nit-picking ones, if we can use the terminology, in order to get everybody into the act so you have a bigger, broader base from which to build. Then you can come before the committee for a more substantial sum in future years. I am concerned personally because it is my hometown and my alma mater. They were very disappointed.

Mr. MUIRHEAD. Let me explain for the record the procedures that are used in this program. Following the intent and spirit of the Congress, these program priorities are determined by State commissions, as is the case in the Facilities Act. The Congress used much the same language as in that act. The State commission is representative of all of higher education in each State. They in turn draw up a State plan and they determine what the criteria will be in terms of awarding priorities for award under this program. It could be that in some States they may elect to support many institutions and in other States it might be to their best interests to support a few institutions substantially. These decisions are made by the State commissions in this program.

Mr. MICHEL. I wish I could rely on that because I think if that were the only consideration we would have been given a favorable nod. As I say again, in this case it was all squared at the State level. Then it came down here. I do not know whether it was one adviser or more than one who just did not like the fact that there was so much involved in television equipment in order to get the program started and therefore ruled against it.

Mr. MUIRHEAD. I think there must be some little misunderstanding here because we have not as yet made any judgments on title VI. That program is just getting established and the State commissions are just getting into place. So there have been no awards under title VI equipment as yet. It could possibly be that this was under the Higher Education Facilities Act. I am not sure.

Mr. MICHEL. I will double check.

Mr. CARDWELL. It could have been educational TV where they were applying for a Federal grant to purchase television transmission equipment.

Mr. MICHEL. This was geared primarily at the elementary and secondary school level in the four-county area surrounding the university. Bradley University has a big audience in that section of the State. We are the second largest metropolitan area in the State, very deserving and a natural focal point to getting this program going.

Mr. CARDWELL. It could have been under one of several programs. It could have even been under elementary and secondary grant support. Mr. MICHEL. So we may develop it fully, members of my staff will be in subsequent communication with your office.

Mr. MUIRHEAD. Yes, we would be glad to.

ESTIMATED APPLICATIONS UNDER LIBRARY PROGRAM
