Giving stastics and more in fluential particulars of the committee, Mebane explained that the group is a Student Council sub-committee com prised of 9 councilmen. He and upcoming senior, Jeff Kristeller are co-chairmen. The com mittee was created in reaction to the April 1 desegregation ultimatum issued by the Dur ham chapter of the NAACP, to the city court. He explained that while re gular elections of officers in both Hillside and Durham high schools are conducted near the end of the second semester, school placements for next year will be issued in mid summer, therefore it will be TRANS-WORLD WIGS WELLON VILLAGE f 100% KANEKALON THE FINEST SYNTHETIC WIGS 1980 FREE STYLING Thursday Friday Saturday AQTU Daily 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. V I t ll Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. IHHH y w w & HMRQ9H Central University, from 4:00 P m. to 6:00 p.m. The art ex hibited at the show will be the work of students and mem bers of the faculty of the Uni versity under the direction of near impossible to assure the voters that their elected offi cers will be re-assigned to that school. Moreover, with the un certainty of permanent school officers, neither school could be represented in any activities during the summer. Thus, the primary reason for the organi zation of the committee was to make precautionary sugges tions for possible election pro cedures in both schools. According to Mebane, four main plans are under considera tion by the court: -First, the schools may ap point committees to represent them during the summer. -Second, each school may hold regular elections. Then if from one of the schools, an officer is transferred, he may serve in that office with the respective officer originally elected in that school. This plan, however, leaves much to be desired in the Dr. R. F. Kennedy. Members of the Committee shown planning this event ara, left to right: Mesdames A. N. Whiting, D. B. Cooke, C. D. Watts, chairman; A. T. Spauld JB COOKIE UNDERWOOD way of protecting both schools, since one school may be represented by 2 officers in many of its offices, while the other school must re-elect many of its officers. -The third alternative for sees the possibility that there may be an "exchange" of of ficers by the schools. In other words, an officer at Hillside and the officer at Durham High holding the same office could be transferred, thereby suggest ing that the officer elected in one school might serve that post in another school. Even with this limited in formation 2 potential problems are obvious: first, the students in each school may be re presented by an officer in whose election they had no voice at all; secondly, unless the racial ratios in both schools are drastically balanced, a ra cial majority may be repre sented by a member of a racial minority (ex. if the new white populus in HHS were less than the black populus, the school could still be represented by a white student elected by the present white majority at DHS). •Fourth, each school may hold its elections in the fall. As the whole issue is now a court matter, much of the bur den has been lifted from the shoulders of the Elections Committee in each school.Still an almost comparable burden rests on the backs of both of next year's student bodies: both students and their govern ments must mature, and ex pand in order to survive the in evitable changes of the up coming year. As an over anxious member of the 1970 graduating class, I salute next year's students, but I don't envy them! YWCA WEEKLY CALENDAR Monday, April 13 Sewing, Mrs. C. C.
