New Indy combined statistical area created
By AMOS BROWN III Recorder Correspondent In a major surprise, the Federal Office of Management and Budget created a new 14 county Indianapolis Combined Statistical Area (CSA). OMB Director Mitch Daniels made the announcement on his last day in office June 6. The new Indianapolis CSA will be officially called the I ndianapo-lis-Anderson-Columbus Combined Statistical Area. It includes the Indianapolis and Anderson MSA, a new Columbus MSA and two new areas, the New Castle and Crawfordsville Micropolitan Statistical Areas. Meanwhile, OMB confirmed that Brown and Putnam counties have been added to the newly configured 10 county Indianapolis Metropolitan Statistical Area
(MSA). OM B also confirmed that Madison County, which includes the city of Anderson, was dropped from the Indianapolis metro to become the Anderson MSA. The changes in the Indianapolis MSA were first reported in The Indianapolis Recorder’s May 16 edition. Metropolitan Statistical Areas contain at least one urbanized area of 50,000 or more population, plus adjacent territory with a high degree of social and economic integration as measured by commuting. The new Micropolitan Statistical Areas contain at least one urban cluster of between 10,000 and 50,000 population, plus adjacent territory with a high degree of social and economic integration as measured by commuting. The new Indianapolis MSA
contains 10 counties: Boone, Brown, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Marion, Morgan, Putnam and Shelby. Total 2002 population of the new MSA is 1,574,680. African-Ameri-can population (2000) was 222,999- The new MSA is estimated to be 14.7 percent Black. The new Indianapolis-Ander-son-Columbus CSA consists of 14 counties: Bartholomew, Boone, Brown, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Henry, Johnson, Madison, Marion, Montgomery, Morgan, Putnam and Shelby. Total population of the CSA (2002) is 1,864,324. AfricanAmerican population (2000) was 236,542. The new CSA is estimated to be 13.1 percent Black. These changes are the result of an every decade review of metropolitan areas, by the OMB, which analyzed urbanization and com-
muting patterns from the 2000 Census. If at least 25 percent of employed persons in a county work inside counties comprising a metro area, then that county is added to a metro. If less than 25 percent of a county's workers don’t work inside the metro, then that county will be dropped. One exception to OM B's policies determines that if a significant number of workers in one statistical area, work in an adjacent area and vice versa, then those areas are combined into what OMB classifies as a combined statistical area. Statistical areas are used by the federal government to determine dollars for numerous federal programs. Metro area designations are used by virtually every segment of society, from retailers, real estate brokers, economic development specialists, even media companies.

ACTION ► Continued from Page 1 racial understanding,’ helps to breakdown racial stereotypes, and ‘enables (students) to better understand persons of different races.” Rep. Julia Carson (D-IN) applauded the Supreme Court’s decision in the law school case. “I agree with Justice O’Connor that (the ruling) is in the national interest. It’s unfortunate that our president got in on the wrong side of this issue on Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday.” In a White House statement , President Bush applauded the court overall for “recognizing the value of diversity on our nation’s campuses” with decisions that “seek a careful balance between the goal of campus diversity and the fundamental principle of equal treatment under the law.” On the other hand, the court split 6-3 when declaring the undergraduate program unconstitutional with the majority agreeing that it is essentially a quota. Although the University has no set number of minority students who should be admitted, their point based merit system automatically gave minority applicants a 20point advantage. The constitution safeguards diversity on college campus’ but majority justices said that using the undergraduate ad-
mission policy is not the appropriate way of achieving this goal. “Like (Frederick) Douglass, I believe Blacks can achieve in every avenue of American life without the meddling of university administrators. I share, in some respect, the sympathies of those who sponsor the type of discrimination advanced by the University of Michigan Law school. The Constitution does not, however, tolerate devotion to the status quo in admissions policies when such devotion ripens into racial discrimination. Nor does the Constitution countenance the unprecedented difference the Court gives to the Law School, an approach inconsistent with the very concept of‘strict scrutiny,” said Justice Clarence Thomas, who spoke for the majority in the undergraduate case. The Supreme court is much more conservative now than it was in 1978 when the last major affirmative action case, Regents of University of California vs. Bakke, was decided. “The Supreme Court’s ruling (law school case) is a victory for equal opportunity bad common sense, and it reaffirms the values we cherish as Americans,” said U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh(D-IN).“I share the hope of the court that we can one day achieve a society where all Americans will have equal opportunity regardless of race.”

Muncie mayor seeks ways ta honor Dr. King
MUNCIE, I ml. (Al’) - Mayor Dan Canan is meeting with clergy and other officials in his search for a new memorial to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. after the city rejected a proposal to rename a street alter the slain civil rights leader. “The first point is the appropriate people need to be involved to decide where we go from here," Canan said this week. “And we also need to deal with the issue of racism in the community." The City Council on June 2 voted 7-2 to reject the proposal to rename Broadway Avenue, angering members of the Black community who had hoped to find a more prominent way to honor King than the current MLK
Jr. Boulevard, an overpass on the city’s westside. Bea Moten Foster, who heads a group called the M I.K Jr. Dream Team, said action should he taken immediately to relieve racial tension. "We know what the problems are,” Foster said. “We need to move on them." To that end, Muncie Black Expo conducted a service June 20 to promote racial harmony. I’hvTIis Bartleson, director of the city’s human rights commission, also plans to start study circles on racism, working with churi lies and .socialservice groups. “We are talking about getting to know each other," Foster said. “We are not talking a social revolution here."
