discussion,- Thursday decision
night 1 at -the, Morehead Th(l .i- naneiictV
Planetarium on the UNC
campus at Chapel Hill.
The subject for the discus
sion was : "Twenty-five
Years After Brown vs the
Board of Education: Pro
gression or Regression."
The panelists, all UNC
educators, were Dr.
Harold Wallace, Vice
Chancellor for Student
Affairs? Dr. Charles
Daye, Associate Professor
of education; and Hayden
Renwick; Assistant Dean
of the College of Arts and
Sciences;;, j ;. ......
Information given by
the panelists indicated that
black ' people t irt general,
and black children in pat
ticutar, have made
marginal gains since the
1 954 Supreme Court deci
sion that ruled segregation
in public education to be
unconstitutional. There
have, however, 1 been
losses: the black principal
has become extinct: black
teachers have been replac
ed bv unauahfied white
Ml
If
that gains have been only
marginal because blacks
are dealing with policies
and attitudes; the situa
tion is? therefore com
plicated because policies
and attitudes can not be
legislated.
Dean Renwick who
discussed admissions of
blocks at white colleges
Since integration said,
'The same standards are
being used and there is no
commitment .to the admis
sion of black students
because there is no
research being done."
Renwick said that he did
hisjSown research beginn
ing -with students admitted
to . UNC since 1970 and
found that 52 per cent
have become attorneys,
doctors, educators and
graduate students.
; On the discussion of the
rok that the black church
has played since the
Supreme Court decision,
Drl' Wallace said, "After
the- Brown) decision, we..
(the black church) were
proud; we were naive thai
this period would im
mediately usher in integra
tion." It was later pointed
out during a discussion
that followed the panelists
remarks that while some
black churches par
ticipated in the struggle
for civil rights, there has
been no unified participa
tion on civil rights from
the black American
church.
The research given by ;
Dr. Valora Washington ?
on the psychological ef- '
fects of integration on
black children tends' to
show that integration has
had a negative effect on
black children, although
she stated that the
research in inconclusive. .
The panel discussion
was moderated by, .'Ms.
Beyerly Brke, joanchor
of WTVD newsprograms.

"If they don't meet our
terms, we'll go back and
wage war; the war is to
continue until, we win,
vowed Tirivafi Kangai,
representative of the Zim
babwe African National
Union, which is one of the
organizations.' that make
up the -Zimbabwe
Patriotic Front. His
remarks were prompted
by the November 5, 1979
peace plan arranged by
Lord Carjington, Bri
tian's Foreign Minister. x
The peace plan has been
announced as a possible
end to a seventeen-year
war.
Bangai spoke to about
100"people in JB.N. Duke
Auditorium on the NCCU
campus, Sunday night,
November 18. His ap
pearance was part of a
Symposium on Develop
ing African-American
Diplomacy, which is being
held at the college. The
symposium is sponsored
by the National Endow
ment for the Humanities.
Director of the project,
Dr. George W. Reid, said
that he ; hopes to draw
recommendations from
the symposium to be for
warded 4o the President
the United States.
Kangai said that the
struggle in Zimbabwe
Rhodesi is not hew. "The
Europeans came to our
country in the 1880's and
we were left landless. Our
problem is land; whoever
controls the land controls
the power."
The armed struggle has
been going on since 1963
after Zimbabweans of
fered and were refused a
peaceful conciliation, ac
cording to Kangai.
Kangai said, that the
Zimbabweans want a
society that is free of
racism, religious and
political discrimination, a
society in which women
and other minorities can
participate.
The Abel Muzorewa
regime is an agent of the
Europeans, and the
British strategy plans to
split the United Front, ac
cording to Kangai, "We
(the Patriotic Front) are
the only organization to
forcje Ian Smith and the
British to go for majority'
rule' he said.
' Kangai cited problems
and with the peace plan as

ly in Zimbabwe-Rhodesia.
It is attempting to turn the
once majority white
regime under Ian Smith
over to the black majority
African population in
Zimbabwe-Rhodesia.

leaders, is the majority

Kangai said that if the
Patriotic Front wins the
election, South Africa
would intervene in order
to overthrow the election.
He added that, if South

African states would enter
