several new housing complexes for Winston-Salem during
its regular meeting Monday night.

the measure by Aldermen Larry Womble and Martha

192 apartments and 128 condominiums on 41.6
acres of land one mile outside the city limits near Old
U.S. 311.

Dottie Mae and Hines drives joined residents of the Old
U.S. 311 neighborhood to oppose the project. They saic
a plan to pave Dottie Mae Drive, which was opposed b>
the residents last month in a Planning Board meeting
would cause traffic problems and that the area should noi
be rezoned to accommodate multi-family units. Yar
brough, who said he was willing to cut a street through
the Old U.S. 311, also said he would run water lines alone
both Hines and Dottie drives at his expense.

Robert Northington Jr.'s motion to approve the project.

smoke at school. But because of the school system's new
four-year high school plan to go into effect in the fall, the
ninth through 12th grades will share the same schools.
The board had earlier considered a plan that would
have allowed all four grades to smoke, but last week at a
Policy Committee meeting, board member John
Holleman made a motion to ban all student smoking at
school.
Walter Marshall, vice president of the NAACP, and
Willie Anderson, president of Forsyth Association of
Classroom Teachers, said they neither opposed nor supported
smoking, but felt that the board's no-smoking
policy would be hard to enforce and made pleas for even
punishments for students caught violating the rule.
"You are creating more and more work for the personnel,"
Marshall said. "Are you going to hire somebody to
be the cigarette detector?"

board to consider smoking in limited areas and at
prescribed times. A complete ban, Deaton said, would
cause the number of suspensions to?increase, require
more personnel to monitor smoking and force the
students to go "underground" to smoke.
Both Eargle and Deaton also questioned if smoking
was an issue that the parents should solve and not the
schools.
"Schools are trying to solve society's problems at the
expense of reading, math and science," Deaton said.
Eargle said he supported permitting students with
notarized permission from their parents to smoke.

passed a motion to ask the county commissioners to
.raise board members' salaries from $3,OCX) maximum per

Plemmons voted against the increase.

salary increase.

either pairing the schools that don't not have _
enough students or attempting to identify students in
those schools who may not meet the criteria for AG
classes but who, on the recommendation of teachers and
guidance counselors, may be able to perform the work.
Calloway suggested that the middle schools eliminate
AG programs as such and develop enrichment programs
that would leave the talented students in the regular
classrooms and motivate them through special enrichment
programs.
The next regular board meeting will be held June 18 at
7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the school administrative
building on Miller Street.
