"What we have here is a plantation system of occupational organization," said Harry Edwards, associate professor of sociology at the University of California-Berkeley. "The South lost the war, but the plantation survived." Edwards, who was in the area to speak to a conference on racial diversity at the University of Wiscon-sin-Parkside, said universities deserve a 'D' for not meeting the needs of minorities and not helping them advance. "Minorities are disproportionately undcrrepresented in decision-making authority positions," Edwards said in an interview. "If the orientation 'is toward 'doing minorities a favor' instead of improving the atmosphere you're going to have that kind of situ-' ation," he said.

Many minority faculty and graduate students struggle in universities because they are held in an "academic straitjacket" of white standards that don't reflect their heritage. And despite the fact many institu 'If you're going to be in sociology, you have to be in the he said. A strict, white mainstream attitude is found all over campuses, Edwards said. He said most buildings are named after whites, most artwork on display is from whites and very few administrators are minority. "There is nothing that says, i'm here, I exist, he said.

And college curricula rarely teach the contributions of blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans and Asians, he said. "It is still possible for a minority student to take a course in Ameri tions have embarked on aggressive recruiting campaigns for minorities, campus support systems often don't exist to help them deal with all the things they are called on to do. "The minority faculty are almost forced into a virtual situation of schizophrenia" between the narrow standards and their duties in the minority campus community, he said. Edwards, a race relations expert who is a consultant to several professional football and baseball teams, said he was initially denied tenure at Berkeley because his emphasis on sociology and sports was not viewed as legitimate. "It was a basic situation where, can literature and not read a single line" from a minority author, he said.

"We must be committed to a struggle to understand the black experience," Edwards said, "not just have a friend who's black." Edwards called on legislators, administrators and college boards to work at making campuses more hospitable to minorities and help prepare them for higher education. "The issue goes right to the heart of the integrity of education," he said. If changes are not made, "We're going to be so busy frying to quell instability we're going to be doubly handicapped," Edwards said.

"At this point, they don't know exactly how long it will be," she said. Hospital officials estimate the transplant operation will cost about $250,000, not counting transportation and other medical expenses.

The hospital called the Sundbergs shortly after noon Thursday and Hancock left by ambulance for Wauke-gan, about 3:30 p.m. A private jet from Tenneco the parent company of Packaging Corp. of America in Burlington, was awaiting her arrival there and flew her to Pittsburgh.

Hancock was in surgery from about 11 30 p.m. Thurs By Jane Rider Burlington Bureau BURLINGTON Diana Sundberg Hancock's wish for a second chance at life has come true. A healthy liver and pancreas were successfully transplanted into her body in a 12 '4 hour operation early Friday at Pittsburgh's Presbyterian University Hospital. The hospital Friday listed Hancock in critical but stable condition, which is normal for transplant patients. "We're very happy and just waiting for her to grow stronger now.

We thank the Lord," said her mother, Gertrude Sundberg, speaking by telephone from the hospital waiting room shortly after Hancock's surgery. Gertrude Sundberg said the whole family had arrived at the hospital by early Friday, including her husband, Carl, and their two daughters, Karen Wuttke, of Del-avan, and Connie Myer, of Gainesville, Fla. 1 Sundberg said the donor was a man who had been ill and died. His liver and pancreas, however, were in good condition, she said. In late 1988, doctors at Aluchua General Hospital in Gainesville discovered a cancerous tumor on Hancock's liver, while she was vacationing in October at her sister's home in Florida.

Hancock, 40, of 8221 Chara Drive, Burlington, needed a new liver by spring and applied in November for a transplant at Presbyterian University Hospital, renowned for its transplant successes.

is considering selling his flagship television station in Nashville to raise money for a loan due in September 1989, according to published reports. Gillett, head of Nashville-based Gillett Holdings said Friday he is reluctantly considering the sale of WSMV-TV in Nashville because there have been no takers for a Baltimore station he put on the market last year to raise money for the due debt. The Baltimore television station, WMAR, and WJW in Cleveland were listed with the New York-based brokerage firm of Howard Stark about eight months ago. At the time Gillett told the Journal Times the sale was in line with his long-range plans to pay off debt and raise capital for other ventures. He said that while Nashville is a large station, it produces' only 5 percent of the company's profits.

It will therefore not hurt the company, he said. Gillett owns 12 television stations, including WITI-TV6 in Milwaukee. Six of them are owned in partnership with the investment firm of Kohlberg Kravis and Roberts under the name Storer Communications. Five others are owned under Gillett Group Management and one is owned in partnership with the president of the Gillett Group. Besides television stations, Gillett Holdings owns two Wisconsin meat packing firms, including the newly-acquired Peck Meat Packing Corp.
