Citizens seek
issue solutions
By CHUCK BURNS
The Chapel Hill Housing Commission
came under attack Tuesday night by several
tenants with grievances at a week-long
problem-solving charette sponsored by the
Southern Orange Action Project.
In addition. Charles Rivers, assistant
superintendent of Chapel Hill and Carrboro
schools, answered questions about
integration and discipline in the school
system.
The charette was organized so residents
would be able to express their opinions on
issues concerning them. The problem
solving groups formed in the charette will
present proposed answers to persons who
have the ability to implement the
recommendations.
Birdine Edwards, a member of the
Housing Commission, protested at the
Tuesday meeting against many practices she
said were unfair. She said she was concerned
that tenants often have to pay for damage
cited as wcar and tear because the housing
commission has not yet set any criteria for
determining "wear and tear."
The president of the tenants organization.
Mildred Pierce, listed eight complaints the
organization had against the housing
commission. She said the tenants would
have liked to have been involved in the
selection of the new manager.
Rivers, meanwhile, was urging parents to
become more involved through the PTA and
by talking to Board of Education members.
"We (the schools) can't do it all." he said.
"We need your help. You have to get more
involved."
The charette continues at 7: 30 tonight and
Friday night in the Carrboro Elementary
School Auditorium. On Friday night.
Mayor James C. Wallace of Chapel Hill and
Mayor Bob Drakeford of Carrboro will
speak and also receive recommendations
and solutions that the different groups in the
charette will have proposed.

UNC vs. HE
W
Judge's decision prevents fund cut
during desegregation effort review
By LYNN JOHNSON
UNC officials claimed it a victory on
jurisdictional and procedural grounds. The
Department of Health, Education and
Welfare called it a victory for the cause of
equal opportunity.
They were referring to the decision handed
down by U.S. District Judge Franklin T.
Dupree Jr. on Friday which prohibited
HEW from deferring federal funds from
UNC while reviewing its desegregation
effort.
The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in
Raleigh by the University Board of
Governors on April 24. It charged that the
University had achieved a higher level of
desegregation than most institutions and
that the threatened fund cutoff by HEW had
deprived the University, its students and
faculty, and the administration of their first -amendment-guaranteed
right to academic
freedom.
In May Dupree denied a government
request to move the UNC suit to federal
district court in the District of Columbia,
while commenting that he felt UNC may
have gone to court prematurely in its battle
with HEW.
Duprees decision Friday, however,
calmed any .fears by the University that the
suit's prematurity might have negative
repercussions.
Dupree ruled that HEW did not have the
right to withhold the proposed $23 million to
$65 million in federal funds from the
University until an administrative hearing is
held on the status of UNCs desegregation
efforts, thus invoking the concept of primary
jurisdiction.
In primary jurisdiction. Dupree stated in
the text of his order, the court's jurisdiction is
not ousted but merely postponed. He
.pointed out that if the administrative judge
ruled favorably in. UNCs case, a large
portion of the controversy would be
disposed of, thus lessening some if not all of
the judicial review.
The second point of Dupree' s ruling which
the University found to its advantage was the
decision to retain the jurisdiction of the case
to the North Carolina court, according to
UNC President William Friday.
Andrew Vanore, deputy attorney general,
thinks the University is in an excellent
position as a result of Dupree's decision. In
reference to the retention of the case to the
North Carolina court, he said that a North
Carolina judge might be more familiar and
more aware of the University and its
problems and activities than would a judge
in Washington. .' "
"It is a very healthy situation the
University is now in," Vanore said-Tuesday.
"It has the opportunity to proceed with its
desegregation plans without the sword of
Damocles hanging over its head." -
Victory was claimed in UNC and HEW
camps despite reciprocal concessions
implied in the ruling.
UNC had attempted to enjoin ihe'entire
administrative proceeding and halt - the
enforcement of HE Ws revised guidelines for
desegregation. This request was rejected.
HEW Secretary Joseph A. Calif ano and
Friday have expressed the hope that in light
of the new developments, negotiations
between the two parties can lead to a
settlement of the case without protracted
litigation.
The next - step in the desegregation
question will entail an administrative
hearing in" Washington in which HEW will
present its charges detailing its objections to
the University's conduct. The University will
make a written response to those charges on
which the administrative judge will act.
either upholding or rejecting HEW's
charges.
