Applications
Raleigh dtiaens expressed little
hope this week that seme 74 Negro
students seeking reassignment to
predominantly white schools will
be transferred.
The opinion came this week de
spite an earlier statement by Ra
leigh Meyor end school board
chairmen W. G. Enloe to the effect
teat any student who seek* reas
signment will be transferred to the
school requested.
Ehloe’s comment cam* last
month in an interview with The
CAROLINIAN in which he said
that the number of Nep-o students
presently attending integrated
schools is so low because Negroes
have failed to make application for
reassignment He said then that on
ly one Negro student who has ap
plied since 1984 has been denied re
assignment Tan others are now at
tending integrated schools.
