EDITORIALS, FEATURES • • — - afford to have so many people fully or partially produc tive.” Here the Goverrtoir is hitting at the chief barrier to the Negro's efforts to help himself — equal empioymen; opportunities. Too long the spotlight has been on rar <i&l discrimination in Schools, lunch counters, and swim mhig pool* all df‘which are legitimate targets, bu; not the most significant ones. More than 'juit talk'. . . Gov. Sanford did more than "just talk” in laying out a five-point progtarh to further the objective in be half of which he spoke. He named a 24-member bi-ra cial North Carolina Good Neighbor Council and asked local and county governmental units to appoint similar group* at their own levels. Chapel ‘Hill has such a group, and a very effective and helpful group it has been. Hillsbom Carrboro, and Oihfige County do not have such- groups. " 7 He* asked head* of State agencies and institutions to set up employment1 policies that wiN not discriminate against job seekefs on the basis of race. This con Id haVe quite an effect in Chapel Hill where the University df North Carolina has over 2,000 employees. While merit of the University’s Negro employees are in custodial jobs now, - some of them and other members of their race may well ’ be qualified for many better jobs. Sefeks civic support ... Finally die governor has called for church and civic support for the Good Neighbor €<)hrtCf& and announc ed thata statewide conference to be CoActtried with ‘the objectives of these councils will be‘ held this spring. There is no equivocating in Gov. Sanford’s state ment Or his proposal. He meant, what he said, and be has proven ■ that he did. ". It is now up-to-other leaders and citizen's !bf the state to be as' forthright and honest. Academic absurdity ■j _ (Editorial in The N#<h: g ObienriM-) , , l^ere is room for difference of opinion about the name, em phasising it* true -prestige,' which will be given to State CoHfege Jbr.thg Consolidated University system. It is Just downright silly, however to reduce the discussion to the levdl of the "Save j$. C. State State-’’ bumper stickers now being distributed by opponents of -the Suggested name University of North Carolina sit Raleigh. The suggestion that State- College Has to be saved from de struction is absurd. The whole matterofdhShgein name arose fn connection with plana to pOftnit State to increase and extend ItsC functions, including the granting of a degree in General Stud ies'.' Whether the institution becomes the University of North Car olina at Raleigh or North Carolina State University or is given any other of a variety of names, all in authority in North Caro lina are seeking the advance — certainly not the destruction of State College. Ahmmi and friends of any college, of eotftitei are entitled ta their preferences as to names. Bat this tar bumper sticker dis tortion does more to damage State’s right to prestige reputation than any change of name could do. Pregeam sound, financingjiob (Editorial in The Greensboro Daily News) On the speculation that a holiday-season conference baAeb ball tournament might replace the lapsed Dixie Classic, the Ra leigh Times justly observes: “Such a tournament would be for the enrichment of the athletic treasuries of ikd'CaAOteting insti tutions." Just so. College sports, half-commercialized, half scholastic *s they stand now. are expensive.
