Everyone has his or her own ideas as to what it means and what should be done about it. Many are sincere; others are not. For IBM, the course has been set: equal opportunity for all employees. The prime objective of IBM's Equal Opportunity Program (EOP) is to actively recruit and hire minority group people and to place and l promote them into all areas of the business. It also encompasses equal op portunity regardless of race, sex, age, creed or religion, or national origin. Who the minority is varies with the locale. Here it is the Negro.

Here, the doctors review a new brochure on den tistry which is available for distribution to high school counselors and for local den tists' offices. The brochures may be secured by writing the National Dental Association, Box 197, Charlottesville, Va. SCOTT Consideratble progress has been made at IBM, but there still remains a lot to be done. For example, in 1961, there were fewer than 600 blacks in the company. In the past four years, about 6,700 have entered the company, and major steps have been taken to ensure that more minority group members become part of IBM. Although women and people over 40 years of age are not minorities in number, they, like the blacks, traditionally have not been afforded equal opportunity in terms of em ployment or career opporuni ties. Accordingly, Sam Scott, Sr., a facility protection offi cer, began his IBM career a bit later than most employees. (See SCOTT page 8A) DURHAM, N. C., SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1970 Crest Street And Edgemont To Be Closed In compliance with an or der issued by the U. S. Middle District Court, the Durham City School Board presented plans at a public hearing here Tuesday night at Rogers-Herr Junior High School that will definitely bring into being, when carried out, a totally de segregated school system for all Durham City schools. At its best the plans, as pre sented, will leave some schools predominantly black and some predominantly white. City school officials are endeavor ing to meet the June 22 dead line set by the court. The plan as presented will likewise close out the Crest Street and the Edgemont Schools. Both units have just about served their day and purpose; the Crest Street School having an enrollment that has decreased to only 104 pupils and the Edgemont School, which is about 70 years of age, being entirely out of date. The plans as presented by the school board failed to meet to the fullest extent those suggested by the NAACP which called for racial percent ages, in all school units in ac dordance with the pupil enroll ment, which is 58 per cent black and 42 per cent white. As it now stands under the plan as presented 16 of the city's 24 schools units would be predominantly black, accord ing to the table presented by the board. It stated further that the figures may have to be altered, since they have been tabulated in accordance with last year's school figures or in formation. It was also disclosed that (See SCHOOLS page 8A) Times Editor at First Baptist in Petersburg Sun.
