The resistance to busing
-now sweeping many north?
era communities is really a
resistance against school
integration, a University of
Chicago sociologist said recently.
Busing is not the real
problem," said Dr. Edgar
Epps, Marshall Fields professor
of urban education at
the university, "When busing
was used to avoid
integration, no one complained.
In former years, we
saw white children ride past
black schools and the
parents did not get upset."
Epps, the second summer
lecturer at A&T State
University, agreed that some
desegregation has occurred
in the big cities as a result of
the crosstown busing, but he
attributes this to a speeding
up of a suburbanization
process.
"Some middle-class
whites were already leaving
the central cities before
there was any pressure for
busing," he said.
Epps, one of the nation's
foremost black sociologists,
lasts Pris

seperate rehabilitative services
from custodial care.
"The department of Corrections
is wasting state
money," he charged. Erwin
said the prison system needs
to be divided into two
divisions. "One for the
people who desire to be
rehabilitated and another
that would act as custodian
for those who do not desire
some help."
In addition. Erwin said
"the efforts that are being

said he would like to see this
country move more toward
cultural pluralism.
"By cultural pluralism, I
mean a situation in which
there are living within the

Once this is done "then we
will design programs and
make other efforts to satisfy
some of such needs."
However, the group does
not promise to help everyone
in every way but will give
each request consideration.
"We realize the fact that

people are being done in an
environment that is incon
sistant with improvement."
He feels that with two
divisions those people with
the desire for rehabilitation
could be helped a lot easier.
Erwin cited Central Prison
in Raleigh as an example of
prison system problems being
linked to the courts.
"The problem that exists
wfll continue until the
judiciary becomes color
