Education; Throughout this
Spring the General Assembly
Isas wrestled with questions of
educational policy. For the
moat part, following the lead of
Governor Moore and the Board
of Higher Education, the As
sembly took a conservative view
of proposed departures fr om
• present State policy. Thus, the
Assembly turned down requests
to make East Carolina College a
separate State University; to
move the office of the Presi
ded of the Consolidated Uni
versity from Chapel Hill toßa
to revamp the UNC Board
of Trustees; and (in the field of
psdltic school education) to
the Administration bud
get line on teacher pay to
creeses, originally 17.58% and
laser raised to 20%. Late in

of the Rev. Frank Williams.
Williams, a 27-year -old

rassed continuously since they
moved into an all-white neigh
borhood four weeks ago.
A group of about 25 men,
described by Williams as being
members of the Ku Klux Klan,
marched in front of his home for
a short time Monday night. Wil

Meadows, said some of the men
were armed.
David S. Coltrane, chairman
of the North Carolina Good
Neighbor Council, termed the
situation “explosive” after
conducting a meeting Tuesday
afternoon in the offices of the
Greensboro Human Relations
Commission.
Coltrane, sent here by Gov.
Dan K. Moore, said this after
he heard Williams recount the
numerous incidents of har
rassment - people shouting ob
scenities at his family, broken
windows and a shattered auto
mobile windshield, and the
marchers.

slight increase in membership
and a more substantial income

ary activity on the part of
some forces which had former

for Freedom.
“Because all the hopes of
1963-65 had not been fully rea

ticularly among the newcomers
to the movement - whose cha
