Howard V. Coleman, the princi pal of Enloe for the last two year*, announced last week that he ie leav ing that position and the Wake School System. Coleman said he was offered a position in the Char lotte-Mecklenburg School System, but would not comment on what that position was or what his re -1 sponaibilities would bo. , During Mo tenure, Coleman was the center of consietent controversy. African-American parents charged that their children were always the target of radem and disparate treat ment by teachers and administra tors, charges Coleman denied. Black parents claim that their stu dents were tracked to low-achieve ment clasees in Wake's only magnet high school, and when they com plained, administrators responded rudely, even at times calling police. Enloe, which is North Carolina’s largest school with 2,300 pupils, is also when 16-year-old Willie Mor ris Bames was arrested and finally, and some say unfairly, sentenced to two yean in the Youth Correctional Facility for bringing a broken BB gun to school. The three assistant principals who brought criminal charges against the teen will now have to return to court on April 27. In light of the racial tension at Enloe, and the fact that there still isn’t one high school within the Beltline that has an African-Ameri can as a principal, some in the com munity expressed consternation when it was announced last week that Richard Jewell, who retired just last year as principal of Broughton High School, was tapped to replace Coleman as interim prin cipal. On WLLE-Ahfs “Let’s Talk with Frank Roberts” last Thursday, sev eral parents and dtiseos called in to question why a retired principal was chosen instead of one of the (See ENLOE HIGH, P. 2) Stanley S.

Patrick Buchanan, former syndi cated columnist and commentator, and now Republican challenger to incumbent President George Bush for his party’s nomination, swung through Raleigh last week making eeveral stops to gain local support and check with his campaign work ers here. Last Wednesday, sur rounded by aides and Secret Service agents, Buchanan held an outdoor preea conference in front of the North Carolina Legislative Build ing to announce a meyor two-week push to win the May 5 primary. Beyond the standard attacks on what he calls the ’liberal” policies of President Bushin the areas of taxes and foreign policy, Buchanan raised eyebrows when The CAROLINIAN asked him if he were doing anything* to attract the African-American vote to his campaign and party. After acknowledging that African Americans give 90 percent of their total vote to the Democratic Party traditionally, Buchanan told us: “We had support from black vot ers, students and others all through the South when we went down there [but] as a specific outreach pro gram... we’re not doing that. We don’t believe in hyphenated Ameri canism. I believe that every Ameri can has the same constitutional rights and the same civil rights. Our whole approach is to do away with this idea of dividing and identifying people by where their ancestors came from, hiring and promoting on the basis of race or ethnic back ground. “If I were president of the United States, I would doaway by executive order with all quotas, racial entitle (See BUCHANAN, R 2) LOOKING TO SHAKE UP N.C.-Pat Buchanan, farmer TV cammantator who also ran In tha Republican Presidential parmartes.
