Entitled "Equality: Ideals and Realities", the lecture was a panel discussion between author William Chafe and Terry Easliand of the Greensboro Record Panelists agreed that the U.S. has pioneered the concept of equality since the founding fathers. However, as pointed out by Mr. Chafe, only recently in this century has the term applied to women and minor ities. Mr. Eastland claimed that American society today is much better than 25 to 30 years ago. In broad terms, such as educa tion schools here in Greensboro are equal, but higher quality teachers are needed to improve education in the South, East land said. Furthermore, East land believes the solution to America's problems is eco nomic. Chafe argued that the major ity of capital is held in a few large corporations, not small business and that Americans need to have government guar antees in controling wealth and assurances of a decent living for all. Chafe claimed that the only way to instigate change and equality quickly is through af firmative action in employment and education He said that without Affirmative action it would be decades before there would be any noticable change. Without affirmative action there would be no women on college faculies today, Chafe said Terry Eastland objected, "I believe in the words (affirma tive action), its the numbers that I object to." If a certain number of slots must be filled in an educational institution or a job position by minority indi viduals with lower capabilities it will create resentment in those individuals who face tougher standards or who have "fought their way up." Terry Eastland is an editor for the Greensboro Record and is author of several books on American Society. William Chafe is Associate Professor of History at Duke University and author of his recent book Civil ities and Civil Rights
