Governor Jim Hunt Speaks To UfJC , Dfocfi Judges Mentioned In Plan RALEIGH (CCNS) -Governor James Hunt spoke to a wide range of issues Wednesday at his weekly press conference, including the appointment, of black judges in the state's judicial system, recruiting citizens to be a part of the state crime control program, and the department of Health, Edu cation and Welfare's CHEW'S) recently announced guide lines for desegregation of the state's predominantly white campuses and improving the facilities at predominantly black state supported colleges.' :'. -. "''V . v. Whfle N discussing the recently enacted "Speedy Trial&xAct" iwhich. in ; plementationS Sequir3 eleven new superior Court judges and 24 new assistant district attorneys, Hunt was asked if a substantial num ber of his appointments would be black. (105) "Out of my, appointments, it will be a fair and reasonable num ber. Now, I can't redress all ofx those problems of the past", overnight. That's going to take a long time to do, as it is in other areas. Mine will be chosen fairly and I think people will be pleased at it." Several black organiza tions have met with Hunt including the ,N. C. Asso ciation of Black Lawyers, since his inauguration re questing that new appoint ments to judgeships by Hunt be black to make up for the lone black Superior Court judge in North Caro lina. Presently there are 106 Superior Court judges in the State. The speedy trials act will become effective October 1, 1978, and Hunt said that he hopes appointments can be made by the first of August or end of July. Appointments to the new parole board that will be under Hunt's control, he says, can be expected soon.. "I'm GET A LOU COST LOAM Whan you buy your next car new or used, it will pay you to check our bank auto loans. Rates are reasonable, repayment is convenient, sized to your income. We will be pleased to discus financing your next car here. 'MM Du;;ii.'i ;fe:,1 going to have them very soon -.1 hope by the end of this week, and certainly by the endpf next week at the latest V Last week Hunt said that "Black people will be ery proud of my selection" when asked if he would appoint blacks to the board. Today he said that the delay in announcements was due to some of his appointees having "to do some, check ing before they could give us their final word." The parole board will replace the board abolished by the state's legislature. Primarily be cause the board paroled to few inmates thus compacting the state's already over populatecl prison system. U. S. Department of Health Education and Welfare Secretary Joseph Califano's guidelines for white campuses to adopt a Ave year plan for increasing the number of blacks enrolled and employed on white campuses, the Governor's feathers seemed slightly ruffled. So concerned about the guide lines, Hunt said that he was on the phone Tuesday with Califano about the require ment of prior approval of "any change of any major change in the operations" of the university systems that could have an impact on desegregation goals." , At the press conference, Hunt said he stood behind UNC's President William Friday, in objecting to "prior approval language." Prefacing his remarks with "We want to do, what is right and fair in North Carolina" Hunt said "there are, an awful lot of considerations. You start talking about the kind of courses that young people ought to be in for example, are we going to say that they .have got to be in liberal arts courses rather than technical courses that they want to be in that'll lead to a job?" ENJOY FULL Checking & Savings Accounts ' Home Improvement Loans' i' Donate: & RAIBC-II 7 0 Responding to a require ment that white state cam puses must enroll 2173 black freshman by 1981, Hunt said he felt that HEW was looking at the problem of past dis crimination against blacks simplistically. While not giving a plan to correct past racial dis crimination, Hunt said long range solutions like his reading programs are rea sonable and others are "crash". The HEW guidelines were THE IMPORTANCE OF LOCATION Any Realtor will tell you. that the three most important factors concerning the1 value', of a house are: i"Location, Location, and Location." Unfortunately,, most home buyers ignore this important advice. Location is especially vital when buying a house for maximum resale value. Statistics say that you will be re selling your home long before the final mortgage payment is in the mail. Therefore, take a long, hard look, not only at the present, but' the future prospects for the community and immediate neighborhood, . Select a. locaton where raw land and house values have an increasing price trend. Especially check into the zoing laws for any unfavorable change which could cause a depreciation in the value of the neighborhood and the resale price of your home in the future. ' Remember - you can remove, replace or remodel a house, but you can never change the location. So choose carefully.
