A volunteer from the
Chapel Hill area is "urgently"
needed by a civil rights
organization in Jackson, Miss.,
to help convince parents of
white children to integrate
Jackson public schools.
According to Mike McGee,
who is conducting interviews im
this area, a $5,000 grant
administered by the Greater
Jackson Area Committe has
been established to "persuade
white parents to abide by the
recent rulings of the Supreme
Court and also to cooperate

had given its report to

Friday.
Friday announced last week
no further action would be
taken against Blevins because
"his contrat formally
terminated on Jan. 31 and no
further action is necessary."
Blevins, a 27-year-old
part-time lecturer at Charlotte,
said his attorney, Adam Stein,
would argue the disruption
policy was a violation of the
Fourteenth Amendment due
process clause. The Attorney
General's office will represent
the University in the
proceedings.
The disruption policy,
passed by the Board of
Trustees last fall, will be his
main target in the case. Blevin

McGee is looking for
someone who will be able to
leave as soon as possible.
Preferably, McGee says, he
should be "a Southerner who
has some experience with the
civil rights movements and
feels he can get along with
white Southerners." McGee
will acept anyone who
is
qualified, however.
Under the grant,
administered by Joan Bowman
in Jackson, those participating
in the white organizing project
will receive $50 a week for up
to three months of work.
Transportation to Jackson will

station, still called WCAR, now
broadcasts 20 hours each
wreekday, an increase of 8
hours broadcast time.
Station officers, Biggar
said, have also been moved

A memorial service
commemorating the death of
three black S.C. State College
students killed during an
eruption of racial violence in
Orangeburg, S.C. not quite a
year ago will be held in Gerrard

according to Black Student

"Orangeburg, like the name

national rallying cry for blacks,
militant and moderate,"
Johnson observed.
Racial tension began with
the closing downofanOrangeburg

The university was told that
having nondiscriminatory
practices in admissions was not
sufficient as long as the
university retained its
"traditional racial identity."
Among the
recommendations of HEW
w-ere the recruitment of black
students and professors,
faculty exchange programs
with nearby Negro institutions,
programs to provide special
assistance to "high risk

re-examination of membership

sororities to prevent Negroes
from being excluded.
Chancellor J. Carlyle
Sitterson told theFaculty
Committee that the survey
done by HEW took place last
month in the undergraduate
schools.
Sitterson said the campus
would be visited again to
survey the graduate schools.
In other business, the
council heard a recom

points in the university's

for suspension of a faculty
member and the judicial
processes involved in such a
case.
Dr. Bernard Greenberg,

report to the council on
possible recommendations for
amending the current
disruption policy with respect
to the judicial and punitive
practices.
Greenberg explained the
report of his committee was in
response to a Council
resolution of Nov. 7 requesting
that the Advisory Committee

Effort Not Enough
Jim Hornstein, co-director
of the Committer to Advance

Students, blasted the
University administration for
its "lack of good faith" in
increasing black enrollment at
UNC.
In referring to a drective
from the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare,
which told the University to
step up its recruitment of black
students, Hornstein accused
UNC of failing to do as much
as HEW gave credit for.
Hornstein said, "It has not
been the administration which
has reflected good faith, but a

with SG.

Hornstein pointed out that
the .Admissions. Department
employs only one black
recruiter for black students.
He said that this made it
impossible for the University
to approach as many qualified
black high-school students as
possible.
Hornstein listed financial,
academic and pyscholoical
problems as the three major
areas in which the University
must work to overcome the
racial imbalance in its
enrollment.
The C AMDS leader
explained that the
pyschological problems were of
top priority since the
University "must first attempt
to legitimze itself in the minds
of black hih school students."
