A recent shift in the federal government-higher education relationship is examined. The following reasons are offered for higher education's refusal to more vigorously resist federal encroachment on its autonomy: (1) its attention was focused on the wrong kind of threat; (2) federal involvement was useful for solving campus problems & often was consistent with academic objectives & values; (3) the rise of public institutions altered the receptivity of higher education to accepting federal funds & pursuing direct solutions to society's problems; & (4) aloofness from partisan politics kept higher education from vigorously defending its own interests. The following future alternatives are delineated: (A) a reorganization of higher education to make it a clear, systematic agent of national policy, or (B) a successful effort by higher education to convert itself into an effective national interest group.

Job hunting in the Federal government can be a frustrating experience to anyone unfamiliar with Federal personnel procedures—both written and unwritten. Therefore, it is particularly useful to proceed systematically when investigating this aspect of the alternative job market for Africanists. Otherwise, it is easy enough to waste time and miss specific opportunities. Upon deciding to venture into the Federal job maze, it is helpful to possess an abundance of patience, persistence, and imagination. Most successful graduate students ought to have mastered this trinity to perfection by the conclusion of their graduate careers. A fourth element might also be added—luck!

The role of the US in WWII & in post-war world affairs has established the importance of US U's as a nat'l resource for knowledge of the languages & cultures of non-Western peoples. Gov agencies turn to the U's for specialized personnel, training programs, informed advice, technical assistance abroad, & mission-oriented res. But professional non-Western resources at U's have been extremely limited, the gov has recognized a federal responsibility to provide direct financial assistance to strengthen the relevant academic enterprise. The central program of gov support is Title VI of the Nat'l Defense Educ Act (NDEA) of 1958, which provides aid for language & area centers, for stipends for advanced U study, & for res & studies. A section of the Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961 has augmented NDEA support by provision of funds for travel & study abroad by US faculty graduate S's of non-Western studies. AA.

During the late 1950's and the 1960's, the federal government took substantial action in dealing with injustices in the area of civil and political rights. Five major enact ments were processed in the years between 1957 and 1968, dealing with a variety of matters, including voting rights and open housing. The same kind of accomplishments cannot be reported, however, for legislation designed to deal with perceived injustices in the social and economic fields. This is true partly because of the inherent difficulty in legislating for these areas and partly because progress in such legislation must be preceded by major societal attitudinal changes and the mood of the United States public has become more con servative and cautious during the past few years. This conservatism stems, in part, from reaction to the various pro tests of the 1960's. Protest, then, must be viewed in its strategic dimension: it is necessary in order to demonstrate that a condition exists and in order to win support, but engaging in protest often alienates many, including the very people whose support is sought.
