The bill referred to would, under State law, permit stu dents who were harrassed or intimidated in a school to transfer to the school of said student’s choice. Buford point ed out that the “passage of such a bill would give license to Hmse who would harrass and intimidate students in an at tempt to force blacks back into th< segregated schools. It would also afford whites an op portunity to claim that they were victims of harrassment and intimidation, thus allow ing them the opportunity of transferring back into white schot .Is. “The Alabama State Legis lature has placed itself in a position where it is attempt ing to defy the law of the land. We Ix'lieve in law and order. It is strange that none of the strong advocates of law and order choose to add the words, ‘with justice for all’.” Buford further stated, “It is criminal for elected officials in Alaluima to waste taxpay ers’ money during sessions of tin- State Legislature, as well as their time and effort, also clerical help and supplies in drafting and passing such a bill as this.

For more than a hundred years, white southerners have been misled by political opportunists who have promised again and again liberation from so-called black domination. The develop ments in recent months and years are proving that the era of people like Collins Is fast fading, especially in view of the fact that Alabama needs constructive legislature which would deal with conditions of abject poverty, inferior schools, the highest infant mortality rate in the Nation, unemployment, under-em ployment, pollution and medi cal attention for hundreds of thousands of people in the State.” Someone has said, “There is none so blind as those who refuse to see.” Buford further called upon the NAACP offi cials and workers to work vigorously to help rid the Ala bama State Legislature of peo ple who still have 18th century attitudes and opinions during the twentieth century, with al most three-fourths of this cen tury having passed, and who impede progress for all the citizens of Alabama. The Mobile Branch, NAACP, Dr. R. W. Gilliard, president, hosted the area meeting and gave its unequivocal support, along with other units from the area, to Buford’s statements. NO TRANSFERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) It is urgent that parents accept the recommendations of the committee and the Raleigh Ci tizens’ Association, and deny the school board its claim of compliance with the guidelines of HEW. Mrs. Montrose Pridgen, chairman of the Ad Hoc com mittee on the Desegregation of Raleigh Public Schools, re ported to the group; excerpts are as follows; The Supreme Court of the United States has definitely stated and indicated the rights of public students in public school education. The recommendations take no notice of pretentious owner ship by whites of the well ap pointed school structures in or near their residential areas; nor do they notice the subtle attempt by the school board to short change black citizens of their interest in the fiscal plant of the public schools by bequeathing to black citizens, in the name of neightorhood schools, school structures in and around black residential areas to w'hich the District Board of Education is ashamed to assign white students. “The first recommendation which this statement supports is that we seek ways and means of restraining the board from implementing and enforcing its “free transportation gimmick.” The second recommendation which we support is that we cease and desist from aiding the school toard in its fight against us by allowing it to count the transfers which we voluntarily seek in its “sham’* argument that it has integrated its schools. “Finally, this statement of the third recommendation, which is, that we encourage a retrieval of transfer forms already filed.

C. - Eight elected black leaders of the National Education Associa tion met recently with repre sentatives of the Congres sional black caucus to discuss educational problems of mu tual concern. The black educators, mem bers of the NEA Board of Di rectors and representing teachers in six Southern states and Puerto Rico, conferred with Democratic Representa tives Augustus Hawkins of California and William Clay of Missouri. Both are mem bers of the House Education and Labor Committee. Later the NEA toard members con ferred with the stafi and exe cutive assistants to six U. S. senators who are leaders in the struggl for civil and hu man rights. The NEA delegation express ed appreciation to the two Congressmen for their sup port of the NLA bill to create a cabinet-level Department at Education. The bill was intro duced In the House by Rep. Carl I). Perkins, D. - Ky., chairman of the Education and Labor 'Committee. In the Sen ate, the bill lias been Intro duced by Sen. Abraham A. Ribicaff (D.-Conn.) and co sponsored by 24 other Sena tors. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the critical pattern of black teacher and principal dismissals currently in effect in many Southern States. Numerous reports have indicated that, despite Su preme Court decisions, many Southern school systems are failing to renew contracts of black educators while increas ing the number of white educa tors hired to fill vacancies presumably caused by school desegregation. In addition, the educators and political leaders discussed the use of Emergency School As sistance funds, and the need for more effective enforce ment of federal school de segregation guidelines. Also discussed were the difficulties involved in monitoring the proper use of federal funds * for education. Rep. Haw kins told the educa tors that he was aware of and sensitive to the “very difficult problems” faced by black edu cators in the South and added, “It is my hope that the Mondale Bill, passed by the Senate, will provide certain remedies and safeguards to improve the situ ation.” Thesl.s-billion school desegregation aid bill, intro duced by Sen. Walter Mon dale, D-Minn., is designed to concentrate funds on success ful ventures in quality inte grated education. It calls for funds for integrated education al television programs, for le gal fees in school desegrega tion suits, for the erection of educational parks, and to en courage city-suburb coopera tive projects in school Integra tion and other designated pur poses. Mrs. Helen Bain, NEA president, earlier this year testified on behalf of the Mon dale bill before the Senate education subcommittee hold ing hearings on emergency school aid proposals. The black NEA board mem bers included Samuel Beasley of Jackson, Tenn.; C. Sullivan Culver of Miami, Fla.; James Hill of Port Arthur, Tex.; John Lucas, Durham, N. C.; R. J. Martin, Macon, Ga.; Modesta Rivera, Ruo Piedras, Puerto Rico; Horace Tate, Atlanta, Ga.; and Thomas Womack, Martinsville, Va. The NEA board members also met with the staff and ex ecutive assistants to Senators Edward Brooke, R-Mass.; Mondale, D.-Minn.; Henry L. Bellmon, R.-Okla.; Charles Me C Mathias, Jr. R.-Md.; Clifford P. Case R. -N.J.; and Birch Bayh, D.-Ind. Serving as coordinator in the congressional meetings was Samuel Ethridge, NEA assist ant executive secretary for teacher rights. Ethridge noted that the Hill sessions were “productive and informative and dealt w ith pro cedures and techniques of the legislative process. ” The edu cators, representing the 1.1 million member NEA, were urged to encourage and use effective means of communi cating their needs to Seriate and House leaders. “Never before have teachers been as aware as they are to day of poll-power. There are over two million public school educators in this country, charged with the responsibility of molding and guiding over 50 million youngsters who will be tomorrow’s leaders. Both the teachers and those they teach are increasingly aware of their political crunch, and more and more politicians are listening to their demands,” Ethridge said. Catholics Take Steps To Intensify WASHINGTON, D. C. - Steps towards the expansion and in tensification of the work of the National Office for Black Cath olics took place at the Wash ington, D. C. meeting of its Board of Directors last week. Their actions will further the ability of the Office to work toward its primary objective, namely the liberation of Black people. The Board decided to accept the funds allocated by -the Na tional Conference of Catholic Bishops, and at the same time issued a challenge to the American hierarchy. Address ing itself to the Ad-Hoc Com mittee appointed by the NCCB to work with the Office for Black Catholics, the Board demanded that they follow through on their commitment to assist NOBC in raising ad ditional funds this year. Spe cifically, they are to request the Bishop of each diocese to assist NOBC in raising funds within his respective diocese. Further, they are to draft a strong endorsement of the Na tional Office for Black Catho lics to American Catholics. Finally they are to seek from the ordinary of each diocese an official diocesan contribu tion to NOBC:. The Board of Directors an ticipates that the Ad-Hoc Com mittee of Bishops will honor its commitment to review- the years progress of NOBC with a view to recommending to the National Conference of Catho lic Bishops an extension to funds for the next fiscal year. In further action at the meet ing, the Board of Directors named a Committee on Goals and Priorities, and a Com mittee on Restructuring. These group® will begin plan ning immediate an expansion and intensification of the work of the Office. ‘Red Carpet’ Treatment Given Class At Fayetteville State U.

Eight of the eleven surviving members of the “Class of 21” were in attendance at the un precedented finals. They were accompanied by many others, who began with them in 1917, but for some reason or another did not stay for the four-year trek. There were many others . who sojourned with the first class who came back for the re union. There also were mem bers of the 26, 31, 36, 41, 46, v 51, 56, 61, and 66 classes, bring ing together the largest crowd of alumni ever to come back to the campus. Many old grads arrived Fri day night and began reliving the incidents and happenings of yesteryear. As a gesture of welcome and goodwill the man agement of the local Holiday Inn was host to a breakfast to many of the members and their friends on Saturday morning. Immediately after the break fast and the group moved to the campus to reminisce and see the marked progress made dur ing the past 50 years. They were joined by other members of the class, other old grads, former students and friends. At 12 noon, they filed into Seabrook Auditorium, where they were a special feature of the Alumni Day festivities. They were greeted by President C.A. Lyons and alumni-president, Nehemiah Parker. A very unique presentation, telling the life sto ry of the members of the class for the past 50 years, was nar rated by Mrs. Eunice McLean Waller. Mavor Hilliard E. Moore, Law-side, N.

The topic for the second seminar held this past Sunday at 9:30 a.m. w-as “Improving Communication in Marriage.” Families participating in the seminar represented all phas es of the family life cycle from the beginning phase to families in retirement years.

Church, families came from First Baptist Church, Raleigh; The Church of the Good Shepherd, Raleigh; Bazzel Creek Baptist Church, Fuquay; Chalk Level Metho dist Church, Duncan; and Juni per Level Baptist Church, Route 3, Raleigh. Mrs. Alice Pierce, Execu tive Director of the Family- Service Travelers Aid Asso ciation led the discussion this past Sunday morning. The fol lowing points were empha sized; Incorrect ways of com municating occur w-hen a part ner agrees with everything, becomes a blamer or a com puter who does no thinking or an irrelevant person who uses distraction. The correct way to - communicate is to be honest and straight-forward. Don't wait on the other. Acknowledge what you feel. “We all have parts of our selves that we like. You must accept yourself as a human being w-ith both strengths and weaknesses. You should un derstand yourself, the part that you like and the part of yourself that you dislike. More self-understanding and more mutual understa ? is need ed. Don’t be afraid of how you feel. Try to accept yourself as a worthy, honorable person. “Three areas of difficulty in marriage where problems of communication frequently oc cur are money, children, and sex. These are the areas where couples show the m ist mutual concern. “Both husband and wife hold the trump cards. Couples should us<> each other to build each other up. Many roles are filled by each marriage part ner. Mrs. Pierce strongly em phasized the importance of having a sense of humor. “A very lively discussion followed. Other topics planned in the future are Bereavement, Meeting Affectional Needs of Children, Housing an Environ ment for Human Growth, Mar riage and Money, Special Pro blems of Black Families and The Three-Generation Fami ly,” the speaker said. Re source persons skilled in these areas have been secured as leaders for the discussions.
