...making the assignments, the board ignored the "solution" to Little Rock's school problem that Governor Orval Faubus offered earlier in the week. Faubus suggested that the board 1) designate two of Little Rock's four high schools (Hall and the all-Negro Horace Mann) for integration; 2) "ask all parents who wish their children to attend integrated schools to come forward and so state"; 3) assign half these children to each of the two integrated schools, though segregating them by sex-all boys, white and Negro, in one, all girls, white and Negro, in the other...
...desegregation. Last week the doors of Little Rock's embattled Central High School swung open again-for the registering of students for the September reopening ordered last month by a federal court. Some 48 Negro youngsters were registered at Central, including five of the nine admitted before Governor Faubus closed the schools last year. Six more applied for admission to other Little Rock schools where Negroes have never been enrolled before.

By reminding...
Strong Evidence. The election was the strongest, clearest evidence of responsible moderation that Arkansas has seen since its crisis began. Orval Faubus, hurrying back to Little Rock, tried to pass it off as having nothing to do with the integration issue. It meant, said he. merely that Little Rock's citizens believe in job security for teachers. But a Southern paper, the Louisville Courier-Journal, said it more accurately: "It is significant for all the South in showing that even in a community as emotion-tossed as Little Rock, a majority of the voters in time will prefer...
