MARCH 29, 1979/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 15 Tuckaseegee River Road race set for April 7-8 Rollin' down the river Participants are entered from five states and North Carolina in the inaugural Tuckaseigee River and Road Races to be held April 7 and 8. The two events are drawing both the novice and experienced competitors as the two race courses are geared towards an intermediate field. The North Carolina Open Canoe Championships will start at noon April 7th. The 10 mile downriver race will be held on the Tuckueigee River consisting of Class 1 and II rapids with several Class 111 rapids in the gorge section. There are classes for both downriver and cruising canoes and intercollegiate competition, tallied on a point system. Among the canoe racers already entered are Pavson Kennedy, current C-2 National Champion and Phil Williams, who finished third in last years C-2 National Championships. On April 8 at 10:30 a.m. there will be a 10,000 meter run along with a one mile fun run. The course for this race will begin at the University Center, and will wind thru campus and the surrounding rolling hills with the finish line in front of the University Center. There will be time splits and watering stations along the course and bathroom and shower faeilites will be available HEW rejects UNC racial plan WASHINGTON (AP)—The federal government Monday rejected North Carolina's plan for desegregating its state university system, but allowed the state 30 days for further negotiations before the government begins withholding an estimated $89 million in funds from the 16-campus system. Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Joseph A. Califano Jr. said he made the decision to reject the plan "as a last resort," and still hopes some agreement can be reached through negotiation. Califano told a news conference he believes "negotiated settlements are far preferable to lengthy and costly litigation and that the best interests of the state, and more importantly, the students in the state system, are served by such agreements." But he said the department "has met the University of North Carolina more than halfway in an effort to resolve this matter without litigation." If negotiations fail, North Carolina could become the first state in the nation to lose federal funds for higher education under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Recently, HEW has accepted desegregation plans of five other states with historically separate institutions for blacks and whites. They are Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma and Virginia. Student aid in the UNC system would not be affected at the outset, Califano said. But he said administrative proceedings for a cutoff would begin immediately and could eventually mean that $89 million in federal funds now spent in student aid, scientific research and other programs would be withheld from UNC. HEW and UNC have been bargaining for a long time over an acceptable plan. Last year Califano moved toward a fund cutoff, but a month later accepted what was hailed as a settlement but turned out to be only a temporary respite. Califano had promised the U.S. District Court he would meet a March 15 deadline this year on a decision on UNC's plan, but he let the date slip by in an attempt to break the impasse. So at the same time that he was announcing his ■ decision Monday, government lawyers hurried to court to explain why the secretary should not be held in contempt of court for failing to decide the case by the court-appointed deadline. Justice Department attorneys argued Califano delayed in an effort "to achieve an adequate plan voluntarily from the state," and should, therefore, not be held in contempt. HEW is acting under a court order in a 9-year-old civil rights case that culminated in a set of criteria requiring each state with a historically dual system of higher education to: •Increase the number of blacks at traditionally white schools; •Strengthen traditionally black institutions by giving them new resources and programs. •And eliminate educationally unnecessary program duplication. alter the race Both the fun run and the 10,000 meter race are excellent courses tor the novice runners All Participants will receive an official 1 uckascigce River and Read Race T-shirt and certificate awards will be given to the top three finishers in each division in each event.
