UNITED BUSINESS SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION 1518 K Street, N.W. Washington, D. C. 20005 PROGRAM: Special Interview with DATE: November 6, 1964 Congressman John H. Dent STATION: WDTM Radio CITY: Detroit, Michigan Full Text DICK FULTON: "Convening here in Detroit, Michigan is the Fifty-Second Annual Con-vention of the United Business Schools Association. In attendance will be some 350 admin-istrators from the nearly 500 school membership of the UNITED BUSINESS SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION. These are the business schools and junior colleges of business throughout the United States. The United Business Schools Association has been in existence for some 52 years and among its accomplishments has been the upgrading of education for business and office occupations. "One of its major accomplishments has been the creation of the Accrediting Commission for Business Schools, which has, for purposes of Federal legislation, been designated by the U. S. Office of Education as a 'nationally recognized accrediting agency.' "One of the featured speakers at the Convention has been the Honorable John H. Dent of Pennsylvania, a member of the U. S. House of Representatives. Congressman Dent is Chairman of the Select Subcommittee on Education and is a member of the Select Subcommittee on Labor, both of the House Labor and Education Committee. Congressman Dent, I understand that you have made quite a study of the problem area of post-high school education, but less than four year programs. CONGRESSMAN DENT: "Yes, Dick, as you know we've been holding hearings on some vital legislation dealing in this area of need. For too long, in the minds of too many of us, there have been only two grades of education, up to high school, and post-high school into college. Seemingly, we've forgotten the great number of students in this nation who do not go to college and yet must be trained and educated to take their place in the economic life of our nation. It's in this area that we're making a strenuous attempt to upgrade this educational field." DICK FULTON: "In your work, Congressman, I remember that you engaged in a debate on the floor of the House during last session when the Manpower Development and Training Act was amended, and the Vocational Education Act of 1963 was passed. As I remember, you commented in amplifying and clarifying the under-contract provision for the use of private schools in this act. Would you care to review your feelings on this matter?" CONGRESSMAN DENT: "Yes. If you remember, while Congress did allow the use of the private facilities, somehow or other, the language in the act made it possible for this allowance to be ignored; and, therefore, we had to strengthen it with an amendment which specifically mandates that where a facility is available, the state and the national level can and should, and in some instances it must where there aren't equal facilities available that are private, make contract with private institutions."
