Holshouser To Discuss Gas Cuts With Ford
Gov. Jim Holshouser said his White House visit will not solve North Carolina’s winter natural gas shortage. He met with Ford and energy advisers alongside 17 other states to press for action by Congress or the Federal Power Commission. Holshouser urged prioritizing alternate fuels and government urging the FPC to allow Transco to buy intrastate gas for NC shipments. Transco warned of up to 60 percent curtailments this winter without more intrastate gas.

North Carolina test rule ruled discriminatory in NTE case
A three judge federal panel found North Carolina's use of the National Teacher Examination unconstitutional and discriminatory. The ruling bars a fixed cutoff score for certification unless tied to verified teaching competence, noting the 950 threshold's disparate impact on Black applicants and ordering licenses for otherwise qualified candidates. The decision preserves the state's authority to set achievement standards while instructing a search for a valid alternative test.

Indians Ineligible For Aid At Pembroke
Pembroke State University head Chancellor English Jones, a Laumbee, protests that North Carolina treats Indians as a minority in all higher education institutions except Pembroke. He notes $300,000 in minority aid is limited to non black throughput, while UNC officials argue funds target black students at white institutions and non black minorities at black schools. Jones cites growing federal and state mandates increasing his workload amid policy changes.
