By ERIC WENTWORTII The Washington Post WASHINGTON-As the lone white student among 266 graduating seniors at Dunbar High School in Washington, William Durant Howard might have had all sorts of hangups. But to hear Howard tell it, his skin color was mostly just for laughs.

He didn't see himself as a and by and large neither did his classmates. "You know," he said in a free-wheeling interview, "one of my friends would say, 'Look at that white man over there--Oh, I'm sorry, Howard, you're one of Or, "Sometimes if I got a low grade I'd say something about 'discrimination', and we'd all laugh." The only white student in his class? "Just put that I'm 'light-skinned' or something." Mop-haired Bill Howard stood out at Dunbar for other reasons than race. He led his class academically, with a final grade point average of 3.836 out of a perfect 4. He was elected president of the school's honor society. He played in the band for a while, French horn and then cornet, and on the tennis team.

He earned a $500 Woodward Foundation fellowship. And at Dunbar's commencement last Wednesday evening, he gave the valedictory address. "I do wild things," said Howard, who talks in a happy mix of humor and hyperbole, self- deprecation and bravado. "Like for graduation, a friend and you know, we were all supposed to wear white shirts, and two or three of us, we wore black shirts. That was pretty cool.

We were the sharpest things out there." If Howard has solved the black-white thing for himself, the streets of Washington and the hallways of Dunbar have given him firm views on the race hangups that others carry around. He talked scornfully about "Civil War fighters" and "people who see a black raincoat and get scared." Howard remembered when a group from school went up to Pennsylvania to visit the Hershey chocolate factory. "Here were all these white people, and workers, old women, and they'e see me and my friends and they'd stare at us. You know, I do have slightly long hair. "But we were supposed to be watching them make chocolate, and these old people, they still had ideas for the Civil War and And here were all these old tourists, you know, in their Hawaiian shirts and bermuda Back at school, he was with a couple of friends--one of them Wally Lee, a Chinese student--and, "this girl said, 'Oh, look, said, he has--once or twice.

He also remembered one lime when he and some friends were at an amphitheater in Northwest Washington "and there were these white dudes looking like they were from one of these suburban schools, sitting with their girls. You know, they looked sort of square, but not too ignorant. "And the girls got up and left and I heard these guys saying, 'Ooooh-yes, I've seen some of these colored girls coming down the street and wouldn't I like to have one of I had to laugh. I just felt so sorry for these dudes." Dunbar used to be an elite high school for young Washington blacks, educating what Vice President Spiro T. Agnew in a speech back in April called a "natural Then the U.

S. Supreme Court in 1954 barred "People look out for me. ever says, 'Don't mess around with that black girl or Til kill you. there's a Chinese, a Negro and an A Chinese, a Negro and an American! I died laughing. That girl, you know, she's got something to learn." Howard, who wears glasses and sports a whispy goatee, said he has "a lot of good friends" among the girls around Dunbar.

"People look out for me," he added. "Nobody ever says, 'Don't mess around with that black girl or I'll kill You know, girls are girls and dudes are dudes, and I never heard that kind of stuff." On the contrary, he recalled, one friend once chided him: "Look at you, Howard, you're not such a bad dude, and you never been out with a white girl!" Actually, he segregation, and the Washington school board converted Dunbar to just another neighborhood high school serving a largely- slim area. Of 266 graduates this year, only about 100 plan to pursue higher education. When Howard, fourth-oldest of nine children, entered Dunbar after junior high school, he sensed a "slowing The school showed wear-and-tear. The teachers seemed tired.

The whole neighborhood was run down. "I could just feel a difference for some reason." Some young white teachers "right out of the Peace Corps" joined Dunbar's faculty. But Howard was not impressed. "They stick them in Dunbar for the That's one thing I can't stand. They're there to get 'experience' and they're too busy finding out what the students have to say to teach them anything.

They're like a bunch of little kids." Still, Howard found, "There's one advantage being at Dunbar--being poor, you know--you get all these goodies." For instance, he and some other students from Dunbar and Cardozo were paid $8 each Saturday for attending an urban journalism workshop at American University. And then there were all the college recruiters flocking to Dunbar saying, "We got all this money for minorities." Howard added, "I guess they heard Angew had" something to say about the school and figured there must be something there worth getting." "I tried to get into Amherst," Howard "but the waiting list was as far as I got. I'm not going to kill myself doing anything for any .1 used to run for buses, and now 7 I think, why should I kill myself running for some stupid bus?" So instead Howard plans to attend MacAlester, a very respectable college out in St. Paul, where former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey has been lecturing this past year.

Howard said MacAlester has offered him at least $2,500 in financial aid. MacAlester has roughly 2,000 students, with blacks approaching 10 per cent of the total. Howard was amused at the idea that some people at MacAlester might be expecting him, coming from Dunbar, to be black himself. "They'll be surprised," he said with a laugh.

Agnew By RICK DU BHOW HOLLYWOOD (UPI) The edgy tension between network television news departments and their government critics, notably Vice President Spiro Agnew, shows no signs of abating. The networks frankly admit that Agnew has a considerable following.

They learned this in letters, telegrams and phone calls after his first blast. And some columnists who cover television for a living, such as this writer, can confirm --through letters received--that the vice president's following is widespread, and vocal. i Network newsmen also have their supporters, of course. And the video journalists are speaking out bluntly on the issue themselves. There is no pretense, in short, that the controversy is going to blow over easily.

Some newsmen have indicated unequivocally that they consider the government criticism a frontal attack and an attempt at pressure. Agnew, meanwhile, has offered his views on the matter more than once. And the issue TV in review was heated up again last week when an Emmy Award was presented on the televised ceremonies to the heads of the three networks' news divisions. The award was issued by the television academy's board of trustees. President Nixon, meanwhile, has stayed pretty much apart from the controversy in the public eye.

Indirectly, he even came out a winner when his lovely daughter Tricia guided a partial tour of the White House in a charming segment of Minutes" series. Her attractively told stories of him could only enhance his image with many viewers. As for Agnew, one thing is certain: He has undeniably cleared up the question of exactly who is the nation's most influential television critic.
