Racial discri between HE' By JANET GIBSON Gamecock Staff Writer Arguments about racial discrimination continue between it uu me ucjjuiLinciii ui ncaiui, Education and Welfare and several university systems in the South. The most publicized case concerns the University of North Carolina, which encompasses 16 colleges, five of which are traditionally black institutions, according to William Friday, UNC president. Friday said there have been two state legislative sessions to discuss the topic of desegregation in the UNC system. "WE HAVE invested hundreds of hours in a series of discussions, Friday said. "The disagreement is aoout now to achieve a racial balance." HEW has told the UNO system to consolidate or transfer educational programs that are duplicated on predominantly white or predominantly black campuses. If UNC goes to court, among the points they will be fighting is the issue of increasing black enrollment 150 percent by 1983. UNC's main campus at Chapel Hill has 18,184 white students and 1,251 black students. Another 519 students are listed as minorities, according to Fall 1977 figures.
