The Shreveport Weather Bu-

been proposed.
In addition, the Legislatures OF
Georgia, Arkansas and Tennes-
see earlier this year passed sew
eral bills designed to keep whites
and Negroes from attending the
same schools.
In Louisiana. where the Legis-
lature meets later this month,
no proposals have been advanced
However. the 1857 session is
limited by law only to fiscal
matters.
Alabamans Meet Tomorrow
Alabama's Legislature meets
tomorrow. So far no specific seq
regation proposals have been
advanced, but Alabama already
has passed a number of laws that
would aid in keeping the status
quo in its schools.
North Carolina, Mississippi
and Virginia already have en-
acted pupil assignment and or
private school plans. Should the
courts strike down these laws
then special sessions undoubt-
eddy would be called to work out
new acts.
There also is nothing pending
on segregation in Kentucky
where public policy has been to
enforce, rather than fight, the
Supreme Courts indignation de-
Icisions.
Florida's legislators, who have
approved an interposition resolu-
ton. are considering a bill that
would allow localities to suspend
their public schools as "a last
resort" to prevent indignation
In the interposition resolution
the State contends that the Fed
eral Government has only such
powers as have been surrendered
by the States, that they have
never surrendered the right to
operate segregated schools. and
that the Supreme Court ex-
ceeded its authority in holding
public school segregation illegal
The new Florida proposal
would provide that when a local
school system is faced with in
tegration as the result of a court
order, Is per cent of the voters
in that systems area could petit
ton for a referendum or
whether to close the schools. A
majority vote would decide.
In the event the public school
is closed. the pupils would be
transferred to another school
district nearby or the county
school board could allocate funds
to the parents to allow their chill
dren to attend a private school.
The bill. backed chiefly by At
torney General Richard Erwin,
has been condemned by Gov. Le-
roy Collins and State School SUI
perintendent Thomas D. Bailey.

Another proposal offered Flor
ida's legislators would order
county school boards to refuse
racial lawsuits under authority
of the interposition resolution.
In South Carolina, which al
ready has a law cutting State
funds from any school where
pupils are assigned by court or
der, only one new segregation
proposal is pending. Similar to
North Cardinals plan, the meas
ure would automatically close
any school which becomes inte-
grated and the State would as
sumo such contractual obliga-
lions as teacher pay.
The governor could reopen the
school If he saw fit or he could
have the school district reor-
ganized and pupils reassigned.
If the school remained closed, he
could grant tuition money from
that schools funds to pupils for
attending private schools.
The measure, still in House
committee, is given little chance
of passing.
The Texas House already has
passed eight bills designed to
preserve segregation in those
schools in the Lone Star State
not already integrated. Five of
the bills have been recon-
mended favorably by a Senate
committee. The other three are
awaiting hearings.
Arkansas Has Acted
Earlier this year the Arkansas
legislature passed laws that no
student should be required to
attend an integrated school: re-
curing that organizations advo-
eating integration-such as the
NAACP - report contributions,
expenditures and other informa-
ton; and authorizing school
districts to employ attorneys in
court suits.
Also established in Arkansas
was a commission to protect
sovereignty of State and sister
States from entertainments by
Federal Government"
Georgia's General Assembly,
which already had a number of
anti-integration laws on the
books, this year passed several
to extend or strengthen them.
Chief among these were amend
ments giving the Governor more
police powers and granting
subpoena powers to the Georgia
Commission on Education.
Tennessee's new segregation
bills are keyed on the pupil as
signment plan. Under this pro-
poSal local school boards may
assign students to specific
schools on the basis of physical,
psychological or emotional well
fare of pupils.

Band is an elective subject in all
grades. There are PA students in
the three Southern bands this
year. Most students own their own
instruments; but the school does
buy the larger instruments such as
BASES, baritones, drums, and few
of the odd reed instruments like
the bassoon, bass clarinet, oboe,
and baritone saXophone. There are
also a number of small instruments
owned by the school All band
uniforms are school property.
All interested students start in
the Beginning band and work up to
the Junior band. Those people
qualified move into the Senior
band in the tenth grade.
Any student starting out in band
receives instruction on basic
rhythm, pitch, fingerings, and
names of symbols. The Beginning
and Junior bands are the learning
and preparation periods for the
Senior band.
In the Senior band a student can
look forward to many events. There
are two concerts a year at South
ern, and an All-County Festival
Concert with Northern High school
in the spring.
