THE OPEN ENROLMENT system encourages whites to flee from schools with a significant number of black students, he said.
Gerald Miller, director of demographic services for Trojoca schools, said that the data was significant, but that he had seen some evidence of whites leaving predominantly black schools.
Enrollment at East Teppei Junior High on Sept. 17 included 77 whites and 192 minority students, a 71.38 percent minority enrollment.
"We've observed the beginnings of some white flight with students transferring from East Tappan Junior High School to Holliday Junior High to the north," he said.
Enrollment at Holiday Junior High in cured 282 whites and 94 minority students a 25 percent minority enrollment.
THE SCHOOL BOARD is aware of the situation, "Miller said. 'but they decided to wait because the transfers weren't significant.'
"The white flight probably won't make any long-range difference anyway. Our long-range plans call for the closing of East Harbor High and transferring, its students to campus."
The district's long-range plans to close some schools in eastern Topeka also have drawn criticism from the black community.
"The board's policy is to have more schools in western Westepa." Obi said. That would be fine if all students could get easy training needed to get there. But they might not need it.
THE TOPEKA BOARD of Education had argued against allowing action under the Brown case.
Charles Henson, school board attorney, said before yesterday's decision that the plaintiff should not be allowed to intervene in the case. The court last such time had披盖 since the 1954 decision.
"In 1954 the district was allowed by state law to segregate its schools. That is no longer the case. All of the children involved in the case have passed through the school system.
"We argued in court that the case had become moot," Henson said. "The conditions that the Supreme Court found to violate the Constitution in 1954 no longer
"The plaintiffs want to litigate the validity of current board policies. If they want to challenge today's policies, they should file a new suit."
HENSON SAID THE district had obeyed the mandate of the Supreme Court.
"The board is concerned with the racial makeup in schools," Henson said. "It is aware of the need for integration. It is trying to ensure that students while preserving the neighborhood schools."
However, Otie said the school board's stand in this case was inconsistent with its past statements.
"They said in the past that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare could not come in here and cut off federal money because all issues concerning racial segregation were under the Brown case," she said. "We're saying that the Brown case is too old."
"The feeling that I get is that they really want to be left alone."
JONES SAID it was appropriate to intervene in the original brown case to challenge the school board's enforcement of the Supreme Court's decision.
"The Supreme Court determined that this school district ought to desegregate its schools. Jones owes the school district to lieutenant for the school district has in fact complied with the order and desegregated the schools, it is more appropriate by filing a motion against the older Brown case."
Among the parents who have intervened in the case is Linda Brown Smith, the subject of the original case and mother and two students in Topeka schools.
Smith's lawyer, Charles Scott, said she would be unavailable for comment.
"She doesn't want it to look like she's out there by herBeating heats her own drum," he said. "She's just concerned about the education of children in Topeka."

Families adopting different races find fewer prejudice problems
By HAROLD CAMPBELL Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Fewer problems exist now for a white family wanting to adopt a black child than in the past, a mother who has adopted two black children said last night.
Nancy Sebac, who lives in Olahtle, told about 30 per cent of an adoption forum in the town where she was raised. Her family had experienced little prejudice after she adopted a black son and a daughter.
The forum was sponsored by the School of Social Welfare and the child welfare class of Harold Washington, professor of social welfare.
one other speakers at the forum were social workers who worked with adopted children and their parents. They were Joe Carns of Catholic Social Services in Kansas City, Kan.; Connie Snow of Social and Rehabilitation Services in Kansas City, Kan.; Jennifer Jones, executive director of the Miles Home for Children in Kansas City, Mo.
THE OTHER PARENTS at the forum who had adopted children were Barbara Wright, Junction City graduate student, and Carol Bolton of Lawrence.
"Our family has experienced problems that have left us feeling resentful. However, I think we have had fewer problems connected with prejudice than we would have had if we had made the adoption process more formal."
One of her family's first problems occurred when she adopted her daughter, Julie, who was born to a black father and a white mother.

"My uncle called and told us we were not welcome in his house anymore," Sebane said. "He said he did not permit idols in his home."
SEBANC'S FAMILY consists of her husband, JIM, and Susie, Ardy, Julie, and Billy. Bily, who is 3 years old, was born to her mother and was adopted when he was 5 weeks old.
represented a trend toward interracial adoption.
"The trend started in the 1980s and has hanced until the present," Jones said. "An insurance company that does not have the money to adopt a handicap child but cannot find a child of its own."
"I was not used to the demands a child would put on me," she said. "However, I suppose the demands were the same as I would have had with a natural born child."
Jones said the Sebancses' actions
