challenge," he said. "It will
be a new and exciting assign-
ment."
ACTION Director Sam Brown
has called for the transfer of
greater decision-making au-
thority to the state offices,
tNUih have the responsibility
tot administering the aency's
volunteer programs locally and
tor awardlg grants to com-
munity organizations that spon-
sor volunteers.
Mack Is assmlng his new
duties under the New Jersey
state directorship of Ellsworth
Morgan at a time when the agen-
cy's volunteer programs--par-
ticularly VISTA—are emphasl-
tlcularly VISTA — are em-
phasizing rural and urban com-
munity development projects.
"I think that community or-
ganization Is a good direction to
take," Mack commented, "but
I would also like to see more,
and better developed, volunteer
programs.
"I would like to see some ex-
perimental projects deal with
child abuse and battered wives,
both In the psychological and
the legal sense," he continued.
"It's an area that's been neg-
lected — volunteers could help
communities by identifying
these problems, by counseling
local persons and by mobilizing
them."
As a VISTA volunteer, Mack
worked with youth deveopment
projects, housing rights pro-
grams and youth employment in
Kalamazoo. He later organized
black youth clubs, a half-way
house project and a local min-
ority communications challenge
group on Grand Rapids, Mich.
Mack's training In psychology
did not diminish the communi-
cation gap between himself and
Impoverished inner city resi-
dents, he observed.
"It doesn't work with people
who are hungry," he said.
"There , you are dealing with
the real thng, not with the ab-
stractions. They will educate
you, a strange and valid educa-
tion that you don't get at school.
"You learn the politics of
life, of survival. I learned more
In six months as a VISTA vol-
unteer than I could have learned
in school In six years."
Mack Joined the VISTA staff
In Michigan after completing
his volunteer service In 1972.
He conducted a communications
seminar to train new VISTA
volunteer! in communications
research.
"Communications networks
are powerful tools," Mack said,
"and we negotiated with private
companies to give minority
groups access to radio and tele-
vision airwaves to ensure that
the programming Included min-
or! tie la."
Assigned to ACTION in Wash-
ington, D.C. In the winter of
1972, Mack worked as an eval-
uation specialist with locally
aad nationally recruited volun-
teers. He later worked as an
applicant control officer on the
Peace Corp* agricultural and
skill-and-trades desk and as a
pre-slot officer in ACTION'S
Washington Service Center.
ACTION programs now oper-
ating throughout New Jersey
Include: 17 RSVP programs,

Brooke Wary Of
Arms Sale
To Arabs
agistor Washington Bureau,
WASHINGTON--Senator Ed-
ward W. Brooke says Ameri-
ca's arms sales to Egypt and
Saudi Arabia are "premature"
and "could very well weaken
the movement toward peace."
"I am compelled by prudent
realism to take Issue with the
wisdom of the Administration's
decision to sell sophisticated
lethal military equipment to
Egypt and F-15's to Saudi Ara-
bia at this time," Senator
Brooke said In a recent speech
here. ,
Brooke, the onli' Black mem-
ber of the United States Senate,
said that selling arms to the
Arab states was "not in our
Interests and should only come,
If at all, when there Is sub-
stantive evidences that the
achievement of any effective
peace agreement between Israel
and Egypt Is In the offing.
"To enter such agreements
at this point appears prema-
ture and could very well weaken
the movement toward peace,"
he added.
The Massachusetts senator
warned of "the mlsperceptlon
In the Arab world that the
United States' relationship with
Israel Is weakening.
"It is the height of irre-
sponsibility to allow such a mls-
perceptlon to exist and to deep-
en, " he continued. "For the
Arab states, believing this to
be true, would lie unlikely to
make tlie compromises so
clearl) necessary for peace.
Indeed, they might be tempted
to use a time of counterfeit
peace as a means to continue
war. U.S. actions and state-
ments should not Increase that
temptation.
"We can, and must, of course,
serve as an Important commun-
ications channel between Israeli
and Egyptian leaders. We can
also express our opinions or
proffer friendly advice at the
appropriate times. But, our role
must be that of a midwife to
any peace settlement. That
settlement will, ultimately, be
born out of Israeli-Arab ef-
forts and they are the ones
who will have to live with its
joys and sorrows.
"For, as I have said, not
too many months ago peace
seemed hopelessly beyond our
reach. That Is no longer the
case, although the euphoria of
November has been replaced
by the sober realization that
the road Is still a long one,
strewn with obstacles.
"The leaders of Israel and
Egypt have taken halting but
meaningful steps towards the
goal. But in the end, whether we
attain an equitable peace in
the Middle East, one that en-
dures beyond the immediate Joy
of its proclamation, depends
not only upon the mutual good-
will of the Inhabitants of palaces
and parliaments, but also those
of the deserts and kibbutzim.
Let us pray that God blesses
them with the spirit of the
peacemaker. For as it is writ-
ten in the Book of Proverbs:
'Peace after enmity Is sweeter
than honey.'"
RightsViolations
Of Teachers
to Be Studied
The possible liability school
officials face by non-renewal
of teacher contracts wthout
just cause will be probed by
some 120 San Antonio area prin-
cipals and superintendents
Tuesday, April 11 during and
Education Service Center, Re-
gion 20 workshop.
Leading the dlscusslo , which
will be held at Region O's In-
structional Media Center, 1314
Hlnes avenue, will be Houston
attorney Larry Watts who re-
cently successfully defended a
Bay City Independent School-
district teacher In a contract
non-renewal case.
Because of the amount of In-
terest shown by local educa-
tors, two Identical sessions will
be held to accomodate those
wishing to attend. The first will
begin at 9 a.m. and continue
until 12 noon, while the second
Is to begin at 1:30 p.m.
Watts defended the Bay City
teacher who had been dismissed
by the district after his prin-
cipal recommended his contract
not be renewed. Later Feb. IS
a U.S. district court judge ruled
the teacher's civil rights had
been violated in the process
and that he should be reinsta-
ted with back pay and damages.
Watts will outline elements
In the case to school officials
at the workshop and will also
comment on the legality of cer-
tain types of teacher evaluation
programs often used by school
districts as the basis of con-
tract non-renewals.
The workshop Is one of the
cooperative services provided
by Region 20 to its 50 South-
west Texas member school dis-
tricts. It will be conducted by
the center's Legal Services
Division, h-ade^ by attorney
James Lacrosse.
Area superintendents and
principals not already re-
gistered to attend one of tfie
sessions but who are inter-
ested in doing so should con-
tact Lacrosse, 828-3551.
Indians
Jim Crow
Indians
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The
Department of Justice has filed
a civil suit charging officials
of the Red Lake Band of Chip-
pewa Indians in Minnesota with
denying legal counsel to mem-
bers charged with criminal of-
fenses.
Attorney General Griffin B.
Bell said the suit was filed in
U.S. District court in St. Paul,
Minnesota, against the tribe's
officers and tribal council.
The suit said the defendants
have violated the Indian Civil
Rights Act of 1968 by es-
tablishing rules that prohibit
nonmembers of the tribe from
representing criminal defend-
ants In tribal court.
Because there are no
members of the tribe who are
attorneys, the suit said, the
effect of the rules Is to preclude
criminal defendants from their
right to assistance of counsel
at their own expense.
The suit asked for a court
order declaring the rules void
and unenforceable and enjoin-
ing the tribal officials from
engaging in any practice that
denies criminal defendants
legal representation In tribal
court.

Racial, Ethnic
Categories
Defined
WASHINGTON — A standard
set of racial-ethnic categories
Is now being used to enforce
non-dlscrlmlnatlon and af-
firmative action requirements
on federal contract and sub-
contract work. Weldon J. Rou-
geau, director of the Labor
department's Office of Federal
Catfract Compliance Programs
(OFCCPJ, announced.
OFCC P adopted the standards
which were develped t>y the
Office of Management and Bud-
get, in order to maintain con-
sistency among federal agen-
cies.
Under Executive Order
11246, which OFCCP adminis-
ters, most federal contractors
and subcontractors are pro-
hibited from employment dis-
crimination on the basis of race,
color, sex, religion, or national
origin. These employers are
also required to take affirma-
tive action, or positive steps,
to hire and promote minorities
and women.
At present, day-to-day en-
forcement of the executive
order is carried out by 11
other federal agencies which
have been delegated contract
compliance responsibilities.
Effective Oct. 1, 1978--the
start of fiscal 1979--OFCCP
will assume all enforcement
responsibility for the contract
compliance program.
In the meantime, a memor-
andum to the heads of the cur-
rent compliance agencies, Rou-
geau stated, "The following ra-
cial-ethnic designations do not
denote scientific definitions of
anthropological origins. Anem-
ployee may be included In the
group to which he or she ap-
pears to belong, Identifies with,
or Is regarded in the commun-
ity as belonging. However, no
person should he counted In
more than one racial-ethnic
group."
Following are the standard
ntheories used by OFCCP:
American Indian or Alaskan
Native--A person having ori-
gins in any of the original
peoples of North American, and
who maintains cultural Identi-
fication through tribal affilia-
tion or community recognition.
Asian or Pacific Islander--
A person having origins In any
of the peoples of the Far East,
Southeast Asl, the Indian sub-
continent or the Pacific Islands.
This area Includes, for ex-
ample, China, Japan, Korea, the
Philippine Islands, and Samoa.
The Indian Subcontinent takes
In the countries of India, Pakis-
tan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Ne-
pal, Slkklm, and Bhutan.
Black, not of Hispanic Orl-
gin--A person having origins
in any of the black racial groups
of Africa.
Hlspanlc--A person of Mexi-
can, Puerto Rlcan, Cuban, Cen-
tral or South American or other
Spanish culture or origin, re-
gardless of race. Only those
persons from Central and South
American countries who are
of Spanish origin, descent, or
culture should be Included In
this category. Persons from
Brazil, Guyana, Surinam, or
Trinidad, for example would
be classified to their race and
would not be necessarily
included in the Hispanic cate-
gory. In addition, the category
does not include persons from
Portugal, who should be clas-
sified according to race.
White, not at Hispanic Ori-
gin—A person having origins
in any of the original peoples
of Europe, North Africa, or the
Middle East.
The definitions of racial or
ethnic categories are to be used
by employers when preparing
federally-required EEO re-
ports. They are not intended to
preclude any complaints of in-
dividual or systemic employ-
ment discrimination on the basis
of race, color, or national ori-
gin.
OFCCP is a part of the Labor
dards administration.
