Karnes, assist ant dean of the school of edu cation at the University of Connecticut, estimates that "50 per cent of the people trained as teachers are not teaching today." Karnes headed a visitation committee of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher-Education which visit ed North Carolina Central Uni versity Sunday through Wed nesday.

Statement Regarding To my Friends The Citizens of Durham: When friends of mine started suggesting to me over two years ago that I "run" for Mayor of Durham, I dismissed the idea promptly. Following the November, 1970 election, the urging from both races be came stronger. I usually re sponded with "thank you for the compliment," but the urg ing persisted. Finally, on March 9, I re leased to the press, published in the Durham Morning Herald on March 10, a statement in which I indicated that I had been sufficiently persuaded to consider the idea, and why I was considering it; but I also indicated that there were still many undecided questions in my mind and several other factors I would have to con sider before reaching a deci sion. By Asa Spaulding, Sr. Candidacy For Mayor K.. tPAULDHM In that statement I pointed out that one of Durham's great needs is more community unity; more trust and less sus picion; more "pulling to gether" and less "pulling apart"; for united, 1 we stand with all benefiting; but divi ded, we fail even in our best efforts with all suffering the consequences. It was also noted that the position of Mayor affords a splendid opportunity to help set the tone of the communi ty; to provide a positive and progressive leadership; to take the government closer to the people and cause them to feel that it is truly a government "of the people, for the people, and by the people." With this being done, they would have a greater interest in protecting both it and "the system." And I believe this to be essential to our sound accelerated growth and to the properly balanced development of our total resources, - economic, natural, and human. The response to the state ment was immediate. The spontaneous phone calls, letters, post cards, and urgings of the people who have spoken to me on the street and in (See CANDIDACY page 2A) Books Closed For Municipal Election Will Open Again MAY 18 FULL-TIME REGISTRATION PRICE 20 CENTS Raleigh's Sir Walter Hotel Site of Confab By JOHN MYERS, Staff Writer CHAPEL HILL - Mayor Howard Lee announced, this week, plans for a conference and workshop for community change to be held at the Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel in Ra leigh, April 9-10.
