Senator Sam J. Ervin Says
WASHINGTON For the
ifirst time in this decade, the
Senate has taken a hard look
at federal guidelines and bus
ing plans that have been used
to force integration in the
South even though such
guidelines have not been used
to deal with similar situa
tions in the North.
After two weeks of Sen
ate debate on a four-year
education authorization bill
for elementary and secondary
schools, the South has won at
the least a symbolic victory
and probably much more.
The Senate approved the
Stennis amendment to re
quire the Department of
Health, Education and Wel
fare to use the same public
school integration guidelines
in all of the nation. Here
tofore the department has
used its powers almost ex
clusively to. force Southern
schools to comply with orders
to desegregate and overcome
racial imbalance by geograph,
ical rezonings of school dis
tricts or by busing of stu
dents from one district to an
other.
The Senate also adopted
my amendment to prohibit
any department or employee
of the executive branch of the
federal government to require
assignment or busing of stu
dents or teachers in order to
overcome racial imbalance or
alter racial composition of
schools. In effect, this was a
restatement of prior Congres
sional enactments on this
subject, but one which I be
lieve is much needed to clari
fy the law governing HEW
guidelines on this subject.
I deeply regret that the

Senate did not fully face up
to problems brought about
by federal judges and HEW
officials acting as “school
boards,” and adopt my “free
dom of choice” bill. Simply
stated, this amendment would
have secured the right of any
child to attend the public
school nearest his home.
I regret also that the Sen
ate rejected by amendment to
bar courts and federal de
partments from requiring any
state or local public school
board to bus students to alter
the racial composition of a
student body at any public
school.
These battles were not
completely lost because on
the same day that the Sen
ate passed its version of the
education authorization bill,
the House passed the Labor-
HEW money bill with the
Whitten amendment which
also forbids the busing of
school children to alter ra
cial imbalance.
The outcome of these bills
has yet to be determined, but
it is clear that there is a
growing disillusionment on
the part of the people with
federal policies that are more
interested in the busing of
children from one place to
another than they are in
building up the educational
processes at the neighbor
hood school.
Even if Congress does take
strong action to get the na
tion reoriented toward edu
cation as the prime purpose
of the schools, it is difficult
to say how soon it will be
before the executive branch
and the courts will also move
in this direction. At the

least, it can be said that the
nation is becoming aware
that the public schools will
not thrive if forced integra
tion is to be the main cri
teria of the federal govern
ment as it implements educa
tional policies.

News From Chowan Golf Club Pro
By Lew Dexter
Ladies’ day at the club
drew a large group for the
fashion show but not very
many girls played golf. A
tournament was held and this
week there were two prizes.
Fewest number of putts was
won by Mrs. Lena GYiffin
and the closest to the pin on
No. 2 was Mrs. Alice Malone.
I would like to see as many
ladies interested in golf as
there were the fashion show.
Maybe with the warm weath
er and ladies’ clinics coming
up we’ll have just that. Huh,
girls?
As you may have noticed,
I was not at the club on
Monday and Tuesday. I and
all the rest of Class “A” golf
professionals in North and
South Carolina were at the
PGA seminar in Durham.
This sectional educational and
teaching seminar” is held an
nually for all Class “A” pro
fessionals, so you see we are
always trying to learn more
in order to take the best care
of our members. Two of the
speakers were Jimmy De
maret and Mike Souchak.
Last year we had some fellow
by the name of Arnold Pal
mer.
I have noticed a lot of our
members swinging clubs not
suited to them. Some are too
light and some are too heavy
for the player using them.
This game is tough enough as
it is, so why, when you buy
clubs, don’t you see your
PGA pro and get fitted cor
rectly with the proper swing
weight and the proper shaft
for you as an individual?
There are a lot of things to
take into consideration for a
pro to make a decision for
you, such as body structure,
large or small boned, height,
weight, fast or smooth swing
and, of course, “age.” If you
are a small person, there is
no sense you trying to swing
a club too heavy for you be
cause all you’re doing is try
ing to fight the club to get ii
down, and when you do this
you not only can’t hit the
ball to your best ability, but
you don't enjoy yourself and
you get tired and, of course,
you have a higher score.
Swing within yourself. This
means getting fitted right.
Speaking of not enjoying

yourself while playing, why
not take a lesson? You'd be
surprised what a lesson or
two can do for you. Prac
ticing all day long will not
help you if you don’t know
what to practice. Take a
lesson, learn what you are
doing wrong and how to cor
rect it then practice. Re
member, practice what the
pro tells you to practice or
you are just wasting your
time and money and his time
also. I have seen players
waste money on range balls—
practice till their hands were
sore—day in and day out—
and all they might have to
do is some little thing like
move their right or left hand
a little one way or another
and they would be hitting
the ball great. Golf is one
game where you can’t see
yourself swing, so no matter
