As we approached the Student Center where we were to spend he night, we saw that the cam pus and buildings wore much like those of universities in the United Slates.

After settling In our rooms we began noticing the many differ ences from dorms tu the United States lor example, the switch Is pushed down to turn the light on and up to turn It off: the bed cover is a blanket sewn inside two sheets; and the sink and mirror are located in what looks like a clothes closet. The luth room is in the hall and used >y both mini and women. II was not until the next morning, to my embarrassment, that 1 dis covered lx>th sexes use the showers, four stalls located In the same room. Soon after midnight we ended our first day hi the ‘ ‘Old World.” We noticed how light It was out side. The next morning we were told there Is no real night dur ing the summers in Scandana vian countries. The sun sets a botit 9;30 in the evening and is down until about 3 a.m. During this time they experience what we in the States call dusk. Then the sun again rises. This hap pens every day during the sum mer. Their expression is “The sun never sets.” Traffic in Olso was heavy in m comparison with Raleigh. In addition to the motor traffic there were businessmen, smartly dressed, riding bikes; other waiting at the bus stop, and a few on motor scooters. The normal working day is 8 a.in. until 5 p.m. with an hour for lunch. From my first impressions of the “Old World,” I expect the next six weeks to be most ex citing. It is a bit frightening, however, to think of meeting my host family at the train station in Gotenborg, Sweden. When the group deboards the train they will each leave for a two and one-half weeks in separate homes. My Swedish parents will take me toStillinson, their sum mer home, about jo miles from Gotenhorg. 1,000 (CONTINUED ntOM PAGE 1) Scott has again demonstrated his continuing interest in the cor rectional program.

HI SCHOOL (CONTINUED FROM FACE 1) viduals as a mass meeting got underway at Martin Street Bap tist Church and St. Ambrose Episcopal Church last Sunday. The "first meettng was spon sored by the Raleigh Citizens Association to bring the issue out into the open and to get feedback from the community. Feedback came in waves after Attorney Samuel Mitchell ex plained the past, present and future of schools in Raleigh bas ed on the law. Some of the statements made during the question and answer period at Martin Street Church were: -“Why should we have to go all the way across town to go to school,” said Mr. Rainbow, a local teacher. -“Our black school board member should be here,” said Bernard Allw, who said he works with the State Educa tion Board. “There is no need to change Ligon, it’s a good school.” -“I came to talk about keep ing Ligon a high school,” one elderly lady jsaid standing up flinging a newspaper. '‘l get tired of talking about what we can’t do all the time,” she shouted to a standing ovation by the about 400 people present. -Bill Knight declared that the group should approve a motion on the floor to go on record “for having a high school in South Raleigh,” whether Ligon or one to be constructed. -“We should start a letter writing campaign to let officials know that we are determined to keep Ligon open,” a gentle man suggested. “We should also make it clear that black prin cipals must stay.” -“A black lawyer shouldn’t have to pay to represent us be cause the problem affects him too,” said Larry Harris, a Shaw University student from Raleigh in answer to a statement that money is needed too for legal counsel. -“I think we should worry about Ligon’s standards first,” a former teacher claimed. -Standards are irrelevant, a y oung lady shot back. At the end of these state ments a member of the Raleigh Citizens Association pleaded for harmony between the young peo ple and adults. The meeting at St. Ambrose turned out to be an extension of the flames which were raised at Martin Street. Attorney Julius Chambers from Charlotte was on hand at this meeting sponsored by stu dents interested in keeping Li gon a senior high school. Mem bers of the Raleigh School Board, Mrs. Elizabeth Coe field and Mrs. Betsy Runkle, were also on hand to receive fire from the audience. After Attorney Chambers ex plained that lie was represent ing six Raleigh parents in the case in New Bern and not the group assembled in the church, the following questions were put to the two members of the School Board. -“If you close Ligon with the high schools already crowd ed, where will you put those trailers, on the tennis courts?” one young man asked. -“I don’t want to be like no white folks so don’t force their values on me,” another young man said. Mrs. Coefield said “I'm with you kids, you know that, but let’s stop playing games - some of you are playing games and peo ple can get hurt. Let's deal with facts and figures, that’s what they’re doing (whites). “The most crucial period of high school is in junior high,” she said, “and that's the rea soning for putting more stress ori the high schools by changing Ligon. We believe they cun bet ter take the strain,” she add ed. Both meetings closed with advice that the young people should attend the hearing in New Bern. Both meetings also left the de cided impression that much community work is needed be tween now and September. JOBLESS (CONTINUED r*OK FACE 1> ta said that Federal funds in the amount of $93,010 have been al located for the project. Participants will receive training as bricklayers at the Holding Technical Division for a period of up to 53 weeks. The North Carolina State Employment Service deter mines the need for workers in the occupations in which train ing is to he provided, refers tests and counsels applicants for training, administers the pay ment of training allowance and provides job placement and as sistance to trainees upon com pletion of the course. The training itself Is usually conducted by the State Vocation al Education system in public facilities.

That all curricula he so con structed as to put into accurate historical perspective the more salient contributions of black people to the development of this subject matter not he treated in isolation.

That an adult bi-racial group be drawn from the respective parentage of its pupil enrollment to monitor, advise and be party to all deliberations peculiar to the racial adjustments being made during this period of tran sit ion. That the statements of dress and grooming be so interpreted as not to prohibit those habits of dress and grooming by which black students seek to achieve an expression of blackness or identity. That a prohibition be placed on all songs, symbols celebra tions, etc. which tend to glori fy times, places or events which are inimical to the best inter ests of black students and which are deemed to offend their sen sibilities. That all curricular activities (cheerleader squad, band, re pertories, etc.) be so structured as to encourage and guarantee the full participation of black students and that where disputes arise, all means of arbitration will be exhausted before resort ing to cancellation of an acti vity as a solution. That the resources coming into the school system from State, Federal and local sources be equitable distributed to ;l il schools. That the Board establish a Id racial (human relations office as a part of the Central Office, with a paid staff for the pur pose of supervision of, assis tance in and implementation of the desegregation plan.

Igo to school at Ligon. Ligon is my school. It's black and I want to stay there. You know when you’re in an all black school you tend to feel more secure. Another thing is black teachers will take more time to help the individual whereas a teacher at Broughton or somewhere else might not do it. Here it is my last year in high school and now they are pushing me out of my school. James Avery, 1120 S. Bloodworth Street You know I graduated from Ligon and I still call it my school.

The othei teachers, included in the suit wore Bettie Joe Raker, V. illie Louis Dillard, Ester Har rison, Mildred Patricia Hub- I’arJ, Annie I).. Prowell, Albert Williams Jr., and Camille Iluruadette Yates. In reading Ills decision Judge Smith relied upon the testimony °f Dr. James R. Deneen, who is the senior program director in charge of teaching examinations at Education Testing Service, Princeton, N. J, where the NTE is produced. At the trail Deneen told the court that “the best Indication that a teacher can teach well is that he has taught well.” He also stated that there is no evi dence to date of a correlation, Dositive or negative, between the country.

The federal court's discus sion is an important one for Black teachers In the Southern states. In the midst of student and faculty desegregation, a growing number of school dis tricts have liegun to use NTE as the standard for hiring and dis missing teachers. Black teach er are particularly disadvan taged by this selection process. Judge Smith found that the NTE score required by the Co lumbus School District would disqualify 89 per cent of the black graduates of the Mis sissippi colleges while 90 per cent of the white graduates from that state’s colleges would lie eligible to teach. In using the cut-off score of 1,000 on the NTE to evaluate first year teachers and new ap plicants, the school districts eliminated 17 of Its 18 first-year black teachers and 9 of its 73 first-year white teachers. In addition the school district hired 43 white teachers and one black teachers who met the NT! standard. The court declared that such racially disparate results, when coupled with the school dis trict's long history of racial 1 HAYWOOD 1 | FUNERAL HOME, INC Over a halt century of service to Raleigh and community | Raleigh Mutual Burial Association Low cost funeral insurance available | 322 E. CABARRUS ST.—PHONE 832-2835 discrimination, gave i ise to a strong Inference that the NTE cut-off score was adopted for the purpose of discriminating against black teachers and*ap plicants. Before a school district may use a standardized test it must show a “manifest relationship”* between the test scores and the job to be performed. To remedy the the Columbus teachers’ con stitutional rights, the court or dered the school district to re instate all of the dismissed teachers who had joined with NEA and MTA in bringing the lawsuit.
