There is a* shortage of
black employees at Tan
glewood Park and with the
?:?recent dismissal of the
Park's black caterer the
jruimber^has grown less;
Various ~black board
members have voiced
their concern over the lack
'of black employees and
would like to see the
situation remedied.
"I questioned the nuin^
ber of blacks working at
Tanglewood at the last
meeting," said Attorney
David Wagner. I requested
a report on the total
number of black employees
and the kind of
position they hold."
Their are about four
blacks working at Tanglewood
and there are none
in supervisory positions.
There ig a cle^ typiat jgha
works in the office and
three maintenance men
who works op the
grounds.
Another black board
member feels that the
hiring of blacks at Tanglewood
should be a top
priority.

The finance committee
of the Board of Alderman
voted 2-1 to deny Northwest
Child Development's
request for $126,016 to
provide transportation
? services for about 300
| children. Without the
city's help Northwest may
have to cut back on day

some working mothers to

is a private, nonprofit
agency that serves
children in four counties,
Davie, Forsyth, Stokes
and Surry. The day care
facility operates under
federal guidelines. The
loss of $510,000 in 'fitle
XX funds has endangered
the program.
Alderman Virginia Newell
cast the only favorable
vote.
"If Community Deve
lopment funds can't be
transferred into that area,
I would encourage them to
look else where for
funds." Newell said.

continued. "I'm basically

Alderman Ernestine
Wilson voted against the
request. "We just don't
have the money," Wilson
said. "Maybe we could ge
the money from Community
Development but not
from the general fund."
Alderman Robert
Northington who also voted
against the request and
said he had serious problems
concerning the request.
"One thing is that the
organization (Northwest
Child Development) needs
to look to other resources
and not look for us to do it.

The reaction of local
black leaders to the new
truce between UNC and
HEW has been the hope
that the provisions of the
compromise would be
enforced by federal offi- ,
^ckds.
A compromise agreement
approved last week by
the UNC Board of
Governors ended the tenmonth
dispute between
university officials and the
Department of Health Edon
UVUViVJll CUtU M CllU1 C U VC1
the desegregation plan for
the 16-8chool university
system. HEW Secretary
Joseph Califano has ended
proceedings to curtail
federal funds to the university
system.
The University agreed
to eliminate programs duplicated
at white and black .,
i schools located in close
institute new degree programs
at black universities.
Dr. H. Douglas Covington,
Chancellor of Win
ston-Salem State University,
stated that he is
"pleased with the agreement,
saying that it has '
helped "bring into focus"
the priorities he had inten- J
ded for WSSU. The ruling,
Covington indicated,
will facilitate the improve- 1
ments he had planned for 1
Winston-Salem State. The
decision sets goals which *
are in accordance with
those set by Covington !
himself for WSSU: new 1
degree programs, higher 1
- standards, and an in- *
crease in white enroll- *
ment. *
UNC has agreed to submit
campus-by-campus *
plans for increasing black c
enrollment at white insti- *
tutions from 950 to 1,410
by 1982-83. It will also try
to increase black enrollment
in professional and
graduate schools, with
plans such as financial aid
programs to assist minority
students.
The university must also
attract white students
to the predominantly
black campuses, and must
develop plans to do so by
1980. , ;
The University has five j
years in which to equalize 1
the salaries of black and 1
white faculty members; _
Thomas Elijah, director j
of the Winston-Salem Ur- ]
ban League commented: ;
