courteous acknowledgement or

Answer Vital Mixin
What problems do teachers
face when schools integrate?
What should the school facul
ty do about cheerleaders, stu
dent government, clubs?
When integration is brought
about by consolidation, why
does the Negro principal usual
ly end up as assistant principal?
Does school integration
mean fewer jobs for Negro tea
chers?
Does school integration
bring special disciplinary pro
blems?
Those questions will be
dealt with by some 200
teachers fro.n nine school sys
tems, four colleges and uni
versities, and six counties in a
conference on "Teachers and
School Integration" at North
Carolina Central University
Saturday.
The program is the first of
at least 15 such conferences to
be conducted around the state
in the near future. At least
one conference will be held in
each district of the new North
Carolina Association of Edu
cators (which will be formed
on July 1 by the merger of
the North Carolina Teachers
Carolina Education Associa
tion.)

"Co-curricular activities, for
example, will have to dealt with
the problem of cheerleaders,
student governments, ar»d
clubs. When integration is
brought about by consolida

were active in co-curricular
programs in the black school
often are unable to participate
in the integrated school, and
resentment is high.

presenting opportunities for
white and black student teach
