Black graduates, at the moment, are proportionately having less trouble than whites. Job offers are down, but by only 10% says the director of a place ment service for 60 Negro colleges. More important, though, the opportunities are wider. The proportion of blacks going into teaching has dropped from 80% to 46%, while the number going into business administration is rising as more and more corporations seek to acquire an integrated image. The rare black Ph.D. this year can command a salary $4,000 or so higher than a white with the same training...
