He says as many as 154 (jtolled in the past, jays he is puzzled by the jof the move.

Parental sup- is the one thing that has [(this program successful.” le parents, however, have it clear that they see lams as the cornerstone of the program. In their letter to Walls, they say his termination is a message that the Arts Council no longer cares or is concerned about its community arts pro grams. They ask that his position be included as an integral part of the Art-Is House budget. “I have never thought I was bigger than the program,” Williams said. “I know what it takes to survive out here as an ar tist and I’ve tried to impart that to the kids. It is a very strong pro gram. I think it will survive, but I worry about how long.” Williams said he is not bitter though he is disappointed. “1 can move on to cmother job,” he said, “but I’d like to see the program continue. Because of my work with the kids, I know how important a community arts program is. The turnouts and participation prove that there is an obvious need for it. I feel real ly bad. I’m letting the kids down though it’s not my fault what’s happening. “I’m disappointed with the board (the Arts Council Board of Directors) for letting this happen, especially Urban Arts. This is not a sham program. It’s a first-class program.” When asked about the impact of his salary on the decision, Williams said, “I like what I’m doing. But it makes you wonder if the whole Urban Arts program may be phased out.” The posi tion paid $13,(XX). Williams added, “They say you’ve done a good job,” noting that the program’s enrollment has grown. “Now we’re at the point where we can be more selec tive in developing kids and ....” Oglesby declined to talk about Williams’ termination, but did say Urban Arts is firmly behind the Art-Is House program. “Support for the program will continue,” he said, explaining that the program’s operating costs but not its personnel costs come from a National Endow ment for the Arts grant. Local money that usually pays salaries “did not materialize,” Oglesby said. “As long as funds are available, we will continue the program,” Oglesby said. He said the idea that the Urban Arts pro gram is on the way out is “not true at all. Support for Urban Arts has grown,” he said. He said that Urban Arts would like to have a full-time coor dinator over the ‘Art-Is House’ program and that there is a need for it. Oglesby said, however, that whether the position is restored will depend on the availability of funding. “It’s a matter of dollars and cents,” he said. sport From Page A1 There were 19 bullet 5 m the wood-frame house, [four men pleaded guilty to a linium 50-year sentence but '(given only six months active the same month as the (ting, threatening letters to i employees at Mitchell imunity College in Statesville :ed. “Children are quite :i involved in unexplained ac- »ts or they just seem to disap- read one of the, letters. . ndalism And Beatings licksonville.
