CONCERNED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 ■As time is near tor tne North Carolina General .As sembly to meet in special ses sion to reshape Education and pass legislation for a joint Higher Education Committee Bill which is to place all 16 institutions of higher learn ing under an important and * effective governing board next year we submit our general policy statement: “We strongly urge the Gen eral Assembly in enacting a Higher Education Bill to pro vide obective and democratic leadership for the State by making the membership of a newly created governing board equitable and meaningful by extending adequate represen tation to the largest minority population in the State. We call attention to the fact that the General Assembly has the Federal Court decisions to positive obligation based on universities which continue to desegregate state colleges and maintain racially identifiable institutions. “In view of the fact that the majority of Negro chil dren have been educated in segregated and criminally irt aduate public schools and come to institutions of higher learning educationally disad vantaged, we call on the Gen eral Assembly to include in any bill passed special legis lation making available spec ial programs in all State in stitutions of higher learning to help ensure academic suc cess of all educationally dis advantaged students. “We in the NAACP in th< State of North Carolina, both adult and youth, are commit ted to a policy of complete and absolute equality in the body politics. We shall con tinue to challenge vigorously and relentlessly all forms of racial segregation in public education and fight for the highest educational standards for all tax-supported colleges and universities. “We urge the political for ces of the State to face up to the great Issue of the times and develop legislation that will extend full and equal ed ucation opportunities to-all students. “We also urge the General Assembly to change the pri mary election date from Tues day back to Saturday and to allow absentee ballots in the Primaries. There should be no unfair restriction in allowing citizens to vote on Election Day.’’ WILLIAMS (CONTINUED FROM FAG* !1 ited to an American reception in the People’s Great Hall by leaders of the Chinese govern ment. At this reception, the W illiams’ were received by Pre mier Chou Fu-Lai and mem bers of tiie Standing Committee of the Political Burro of the Central Committee of the Com munist Party of China. The Premier received the King do cumentary for Chairman Mao Tse-Tsung; a personal letter of introduction from Dr. Ralph David Abernathy, President of SCLC; and an information kit on the hist on and works of SCLC. During the reception, Pre mier Chou Fn-Lai discussed four main topics with his guests. First, why China officials ac cepted President Nixon’s re quest to visit China; second, why the Soviet Union has one million troops on China’s bor der; third, China’s continuous, consistent policy on Taiwan and the United Nations; and fourth, China’s continuation of its his toric efforts of negotiation for peaceful settlements. Refer ring to President Nixon’s com ing trip to China, Premier Chou Fn-Lai said, “Ye§, we granted President Nixon s coming trip to China, but we will not give in on a single principle nor ■’• ill we sell out our friends. We will never accept two Chi nas, one China with two govern ments, nor a China and a Tai wan. The President first sug gested he visit China, and if he could not at this time, that his daughter should take her honeymoon in China. Taiwan is part of China, and (he trea ties signed between Taiwan and the United States are just as il legal as the one signed between Taiwan and Japan:. There fore, the United States is il legally occupying China terri tory. We are not occupying Staten Island or Honolulu, China will have to maintain her terri tory and Integrity. Taiwan must be returned to the Main land.” The Williartlses visit to China 1 is part of a SCLC fact-finding, j good-will brotherhood tour a round the world which began in June. They visited nine Afri can countries (Senegal, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Congo, Zambia, Tanzania, Ken ya and Ethiopia.) Among the African Heads of States who received the SCLC official and held audiences with he and his wife were the late President William V. S. Tubman of Li beria; President Houphouet Boigny of the Ivory Coast; Gen eral Yokuby Gowon of Nigeria; His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie and the Patri arch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Church. Williams said, “Hopefully my tour through Africa will re sult in programs between Afri cans and Black Americans that will allow the two groups to work in unison internationally in their struggle to liberate Black folk everywhere.” THEY SAY {mutrmvwß mom r*m » our institutions, we won’t hav< too many activities, then.” Janice Jackson, Raleigh “It should have a big effect, because of the large number of black people we had participat ing. Just the mass gathering showed that we, as Black peo ple, can unite and do things worthwhile.” Mary Whitmore, Durham “I think it will make the legis lators think twice before they cast a vote for the new educa tion bill. Having seen the mass protest march, it will at least let them know we mean busi ness. This is no playing mat ter, and 1 hope the legislators will think the same way.” James Everett, Greensboro “The legislators know they will have to be re-elected to their seats in the very near fu ture. Now that 18-year-olds can vote, the protest inarch should have an effect on them, especi ally the ones from the counties where the Black universities are located. They know we wil 1 have a voice in the next election and this march should make them think twice before they cast a vote.” Donald Ingram, F ayettevllle ‘‘ At least the march should let the legislators know we mean business now. When the march was first talked about, many thought we were only kidding, but now that the more than 5,- 000 of us showed up In Raleigh, it will make the lawmakers know we are not jiving. Andy Green, Elizabeth City “It is hard to say how this pro test march will affect the legis lators. Maybe most of the rac ist lawmakers have their minds. already made up and regardless of what we Black people say, they are going to vote us out anyway. On the other hand, our presence may make them feel that we mean serious business and it may change their hearts somewhat,” JOHN LEWIS (cottrmvwo from fag* d become the agents of you? owm liberation.” In his address, Lewis de scribed the progress in civil rights which has been brought about in the past decade. He pointed out that the student population had been instrument al in bringing about the suc cessful desegregation of facil ities of public accommodations and interstate travel. “I am well aware that there are those who say that non violence is old-fashioned and that the civil rights movement is dead,” stated Lewis. “It is true that the nature and the character of the movement has changed, but these changes do not spell doom for our hopes and our aspirations for black liberation. “We cannot say that the movement is dead because we are still at work in the poli tical arena and in other less publicized forms of struggle. We may have changed our tac tics. We may have abandoned organizational structures, but we are still very much in volved. Our struggle Is not for a month, a season, a year, but for a lifetime if ihat is what it takes to build the Be loved Community.” “We must not forget the ci vil rights movement which was like a bridge over troubled waters, because we’re going to have plenty of troubled wa ters ahead.” Lewis stated his belief that black political participation can transform not only southern, but national and Internationa] politics as well. He explained, “There are still 2 1/2 mil lion unregistered black voters in the South. With this poten tial, it is quite reasonable to expect that some of the nation’s most powerful politicians will be replaced by a new form of politics in the near future. These are men elected from the South where, by seniority, they have attained key national posi tions of influence and, from these positions, have sought to perpetuate violence against op pressed peoples around the globe.” The Voter Education Project, a private, non-partisan organi zation, operates a program of minority voter registration, ci tizenship education, and techni cal assistance to elected of- icials in the eleven southern states.

The education committee is concerned with the news that 225 Black students have already been dismissed from school this year. WIA GROUP CONTINUED FROM FAG* 1) leigh City Schools so far this year and the expulsion rate is exceeding last year's figures at this time. The offenses cit ed were smoking, drinking, stealing, fighting, defiance, us ing profanity, carrying wea pons, disrupting class, and threatening students. The law as passed by the 19- 71 General Assembly states in part: “It shall be the duty of all teachers to maintain good order and discipline in their schools... Principals and teach ers in the public schools of this state may use reasonable force to exercise lawful authority to restrain or correct pupils and to maintain order....” The principal has the author ity to dismiss a pupil who vio lates the rules of the school. Questions on policy regard ing the rules should be direct ed to him. A copy of guide lines is available at each school or can tie obtained at the Wo men - In - Action Clearinghouse on 13 Exchange Plaza. It has been brought to our at tention by Burley Mitchell, the Associate Attorney General of N.C., that it is a “ciminal offense to carry weapons of al most any type or description on school grounds, on school buses, athletic fields or any other property controlled or owned by any school. Any per son found carrying a weapon could be imprisioned for up to six months and fined up to $500.” In this day when education is so important to our chil dren’s futures it becomes the parent’s responsibility to give his child the guidance he needs. Little problems of bad behav ior should be handled quickly to prevent them from getting worse. The teacher has so many in his class that he may at times take strong measures maintain order, namely dis missal. In the end, the child who lias lost out on his education has been cheated of his chance to grow and develop.

Titling this week’s column “Phase Two May liz zie,” Jordan insisted ort “at tention to human needs in shap ing policy,” and warned that Phase Two may fail “and the economy's inequities will be frozen at terrible costs to our social and economic well-being if current policies are not changed to end poverty and to stir up consumer demand to fuel further economic growth.” Citing federal welfare pay ments to corporations in the form of tax credits and bailouts of mismanaged companies. Jor dan insisted that “the burden for this is borne by those who can least afford it--thepoor and the jobless.” Paraphrasing the President’s statement that all Americans will benefit from more profits, Jordan writes: “It is even more tuo that all Americans wil! benefit from an end to joblessness and poverty.” Jordan charred that prices to shoppers have boon creep ing upwards during th< cur rent freeze and that “there is absolutely no indication that the interests of black people or pooi- people will be protected” by the Price Commission or the Pay Board.

He urged that there was still another parallel to be found in the ef fect of the Black Revolution on Negro Business and the pos sible effects of youth and wo men’s lib movements on busi ness as a whole.
