Ruling On Merger Expected In Presbyterian Colleges Dispute
Superior Court Judge Q K Nocks Jr heard a day long session on the injunction sought by Flora Macdonald College trustees Red Springs and Peace Junior College Raleigh in a merger dispute involving ten Presbyterian schools. The petition claims the Synod of North Carolina would control Peace College and revert to the Raleigh church if changes occur.
