He said the perpetuation of
segregation resulting from the
Board's assignment policies made
its use of the Pupil Assignment
Act unconstitutional. “It is a
contravention of the court ruling
that makes the Pupil Assignment
Act unconstitutional when if per
petuates segregation."
In addition, Mr. McKissiek
charged the Board with denying
the Negro parents due process
of law. hi that Board hearings
are hold according to such pro
cedure that parents cannot cross
examine, while Board members
can, and that the Board’s deci
sions in reassignment matters are
made "in seclusion.”
Mr. McKissiek concluded his
presentation by suggesting that
the Board “look at its assign
ment plan, because (the plan)
shows the thinking of the system.
The mind of the Board is cloaked
in the guise of law.”
School Superintendent Howard
Thompson and members of the
Board replied to Mr. McKissiek
by pointing out: that “a great
....many” children had been reas
signed as requested, according
to Board policy, which is that no
child is denied reassignment for
any other reason than space lim
itations; that Mr. McKissick's
“feeder system” accusation was
untrue, because all reassignment
requests coming from Negro
junior and senior high pupils had
been granted; and that accord
ing to school locations and assign
ment policy, it was impossible to
avoid having Negro schools.
Mr. McKissiek had claimed
that Chapel Hill’s Negro schools
perpetuate segregation.
Mr. McKissiek replied in turn
that the obvious way to eliminate
all-Negro schools was to assign
white children to those schools.
“Are you suggesting that in
order to get these five children
in we assign white children to
Negro schools?” Board chairman
Grey Culbreth asked.
“The fact that you don’t is
evidence that you are operating
a segregated school system,” Mr.
. McKissiek answered.
In executive session later, the
Board granted all five reassign
ment requests, without comment.
The Victory Villagers’ problem
was less simple.
Two Victory Village parents
had requested reassignment for
mally, according to the normal
reassignment request procedure.
Mrs. Janie Dillon, the mother of
two children, said she had re
quested their. reassignment to
Glenwood School because she

worked nearby at the Church of
the Holy Family. If the chil- -
dren attended West Franklin, she
said, she would be inconvenienc
ed in transporting them to and
from school. Mr. Pillon is a
University graduate student,
Bradford Collins, another grad
uate student, said his? wife, who
works full time, would also be
inconvenienced by •hfs son’s as
signment to We s t Franklin
School, and that if his son walk
ed to school he would encounter
the hazards of Pittsboro Road in
the Memorial Hospital area. >,
The Board later turned down
beth these requests, but before
it did, Lawrence Posey, a gradu
ate student and a resident of
the University’s married student
housing, presented a request
from the parents of over 50 Vic
tory Village and married student
housing children that the mass
assignment of these children to
West Franklin, instead of to Glen
wood. be reconsidered by the
Board.
Mr. Posey said the parents felt
they had been discriminated
against because children who
lived closer to West Franklin
School than Victory Village had
been assigned to Glenwood
School, but Victory Village chil
dren all had been assigned to
West Franklin.
He said that at the end of the
last school year, when Victory
Village children had attended
Glenwood. teachers, had issued
slips of paper to each child ask
ing preference of assignment to
West Franklin or Glenwood
School: and that at the bottom
of each slip there had been a
note to the effect that all Victory
Village children were automatic
ally assigned to West Franklin.
Dr. Thompson later explained
this. He said teachers who of
fered children such a choice had
not been authorized to do so,
that the slips of paper be issued
for class roll-taking purposes on
ly, and that he did not -know of
the choice offer until after the
slips of paper had begn turned in
by the children.
Mr. Posey argued that Victory
Village residents had the same
rights as any other citizen, and
felt that the mass assignment was
not consistent with the rest of
the Board’s assignmnt policy. He
said Victory Village residents
wanted to know why they were
being treated differently.
Victory Village residents pay
school taxes, he said. Thirty per
cent of them are registered vot
ers. Their average income is
$4,800, which brings about $2.5
million into the community an
nually. Only' 20 per cent of
them are opposed to segregated
schools (“So our conscience is
clear. Is Yours?”). All these
facts were gathered in a. survey
of 332 Victory Village and mar
ried student housing families con
ducted by residents of that area,
he said.
He added (jfliMtr.there were resi
■ dents of Victory Village who did
not have cars, and whose young
children consequently had to
walk through a congested area
to get to school. “Do we have to
have oue or two killed before we
find out that it’s congested?
“We’re not disgusted. We’re
not asking for special favors. We
just want to be treated like every
one else. We also want help with
school transportation. You help
ed create the problem of trans
portation with the assignment pol
, icy, and we have fewer cars but
more children.”
Board member Dr. Richard
Peters said Victory Village resi
dents pay taxes only on personal
property, and that the resulting
revenue was a minor item in the
schools’ budget; whereas Glen
Lennox residents did not pay
property taxes as part of their
rent, and the University paid no
property taxes on Victory Village.
As fat as the traffic hazards
were corft’erned. Dr. Peters said,
much of the traffic in the Victory
Village-Memorial Hospital, area
was created by Victory Village
cars. \
Board member Dr. Fred Ellis
said the Victory Villager's’ prob
lem with traffic hazards was not
unique, and that children living
on Greenwood Road and in near
by areas had to cross two main
highways to get to school.
Dr. Peters also pointed out that
West Franklin was considered a
temporary school; that Victory
ViUage children, not being long
term permanent residents, would
be moved to a different school
eventually anyway; ahd that the
Board’s decision had been to put
the “old timers” in Glenwood
School to minimize the. disrup
tion of their education by school
changes. - \
Mr. Posey said that the only
logical reason Victory Villagers
had been able to think of for the
Board’s mass assignment of their
children to West Franklin was
that “it was an out, to dodge
segregation.” West Franklin is
20 per cent Negro, and Glenwood
is only one or two per cent Ne
gro. Mr. Posey did not actually
accuse the Board of having this
motive; he only said that it was
the only logical explanation Vic
tory Villagers had been able to
think of.

“This is unfair,” said Dr. El
lis immediately. “There is not
a member of this Board who de
signed the policy with this in
mind. I suggest you eliminate
this as a reason.”
“You may eliminate it,” said
Mr. Posey.
“The Board will support me
completely.” said £>r. Ellis, re
iterating his denial of the segre
gation motive.
Dr.. Peters pointed out that on
ly two Victory Village residents
had officially requested reassign
ment. that the period for making
reassignment requests had pass
ed, and tnat there was now no
recourse for either the Victory
Villagers or the Board. He add
ed that if anybody were capable
of making a reassignment re
quest correctly, a graduate stu
dent was.
In subsequent cxccy.lvc s:r.'.„n
the Board took no action on Mr.
Posey's request, again without
comment.
