' The teaching assignments given to the coaches limit their opportunities to seek superior athletes out of the "state of North Carolina, ' as do budgetary restrictions. - ' Legislators (Continued from Front Page) Mississippi and .Virginia. Other states with black legislators which held no legislative elections were Kentucky and New Jersey. , Thirty-four per cent of all black legislators how come from these 11 states of the South, compared to 24 per cent previously. Blacks now hold 10 per cent or more of the seats in legislative chambers in four states: the Alabama House, the Georgia House (11.6 percent), the South ' Carolina House (10.5 percent), and both the House and Senate in Michigan 1 10 and 10.5 per cent respectively.) In all but a few states, however, blacks' share of legislative seats is less than their share of the total population. For example, In the states listed above, blacks made up 26 per cent of the total population in Alabama in the 1970 census, 25.8 percent In Georgia, 30,4 percent in South Carolina, and 11.2 percent in Michigan. Only three states come close to matching black representation in at least one legislative chamber with the black share of total population in the 1970 census. They are California, with 7 per cent of the population and 7.5 percent of the House, Colorado, with 3 percent in both population and the House, and Ohio, with 9.1 percent of the population and 9 percent of the House.

He also has been one of the leading Congreesional opponents of this country's relationship with Turkey, fearing the possibility of renewed heroin traffic between the two countries. Mr. Rangel was reelected to a third term in November with the endorsements of the Democratic, Republican and Liberal Parlies. A high school drop-out, Mr. Rangel, was born in Harlem in 1930. He entered the Army and fought in Korea, winning a Bronze Star after leading more than 40 men from behind enemy lines. After his discharge from the military, he completed his high school education and earned a college degree from New University's Commerce and degree from University. He was admitted to the bar in 1960, was appointed an assistant United States Attorney General in 1961, and served in the New York State General Assembly. "I am pleased," Rangel said, "at my selection to serve on the Ways and Means Committee. This important Committee, although its jurisdiction has been reduced by the Committee Reform Amendments ' of 1974, maintains its jurisdiction over legislative areas vital to the interests of my constituency in New York and the larger constituency of the poor, minorities and other disadvantaged groups throughout the nation which we in the Congressional Black Caucus attempt to represent," He said. "Vital issues such ;as national belth nsurare social ork School of later, a law St. John's compensation, public assistance, tariffs and trade, transporation trust funds, and tax reform will be before the Committee in the 94th Congress, and 1 am glad that I will be able to have a voice on the Committee in the formulation of this important' legislation," Rangel said. Rangel, who will have to leave his present Committee assignments on the Judiciary and District of Columbia Committees to serve on Whys and Means, expressed regret at having to leave these committees but indicated that he felt that the Ways and Means assignment would give him the opportunity for greater input on "bread butter" issues affecting poor. and the Funds (Continued from Front Page) constituent institutions including the vitally needed new law building at North Carolina Central University, a major classroom building at North Carolina State at Raleigh and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Grover Burthey, owner and manager of Burthey Clothiers, declined to comment on any future plans he may have for the store because the plans (for the project) are not definite yet," he said. Ray Lipscomb, owner and manager of Tonita's Weigh, a retail clothing store in the five points area, says that his store will not be affected by the project. He said the downtown parking problem . was one of the major obstacles to the success of the project,, "These are the kinds of things they'll have problems with he said. "Otherwise the proposal sounds good." ' Lipscomb also noted the flexibility of the proposal which he feels may be one of Its major advantages.

The Tight to remove this section from the charter ! provided most of the spark and debate In Kansas City,;. "It's no question we came out in better shape , than we went in," Dr. E. r Lavonia Allison cf Durham said last week. "But , it remains to be seen if the states' fwilf implement effective affirmSiti action plans. Right now they re. dragging their feet. Affirmative action was supposed la be implemented for Jthe mini-convention, but it wasn't,' Dr. Allison was a member of the Mikulski Comrittee which drafted the minority representation rules for- the mini-convention. "1 think though, that the states will show good faith and implement strong plans. The black vote has been important to the Democratic Party,' and now, particularly in the South, the Republican Party is making inroads in the black vote," she said. "In the major cities there is a large black vote and few governors can even think of winning without the metropolitan vote. I think they recognized out potential," she said referring to the support the black delegates received from some governors in overturning the objectionable section. . Dr. Allison said one of the main ways the state parties can show this good faith is by giving blacks an Opportunity to help develop the affirmative action plans. "Our first chance to see if they're for real will Come when the committees are appointed to draw up the plans, and the only way effective plans can be formulated is if there are people on the committees who are supportive of affirmative action," she said. The North Carolina plan is ineffective, Dr. Allison added. At present the state Democratic Party has no compliance review committee or any provision by which1 the state party can be monitored to insure adequate minority participation in all party affairs. y: , . v; Any member or a IhStional' party comrif tee c4 aw, member " 6 f" f heir state's affirmative aMoti cdtftee' flnH rir Allicnn eaiA cha planned to bei memberoti'i that committee. "We have, to be aware of who is on ? these committees and be sure that there are people who articulate our concerns. We have to pick our own leaders," she said. Dr. Allison said she was in favor of quotas, although there were a number of black delegates' in Kansas City who opposed the reestabiishment of the quota system "But why fight it," she said, "when we'll eventually have to come back to it anyway. "Besides, the charter 'still provides for. quotas for women,' ' she said. "They seem to be saying that it's O.K." to have quotas as long as it's not for blacks.", She was referring to section 7, of Article lOthe charter's iffirmativel action .article, which says that equal . distrbutioril between men 'and women on state delegations J, and Ktate-oommitl- ixniilrf'l not violate1 the section ofthe charter which bans mandatory- quotas. k Dr. Allison said she-.hoped -party leaders were not trying t to drive a- wedgo between women and hiatU hcf to guard against thi4? $!. iid the inclusion of sectloVX-4if Nevertheless therltlilieral' element of the. r partvv apeins divided over " Which group, blacks, or women, should have priority regarding the matter of increased representation in party affairs.
