The proposed merger of the Louisiana Teachers Association KLTAJ and the Louisiana Education Association QLEAJ has passed and will go into effect on December 1, 1977. The merger, which will create the Louisiana Association of Educators KLAEJ. will end the pre- vious racial segregation which existed in Louisia- na's professional education associations. The newly-formed LAE will become a member of the National Education Association tNEAJ. Because of its previous racial separation, the LTA had lost its affiliation with the national organiza- tion. Three members ofthe Nicholls faculty voted in the merger decision: Dr. Ralph Gremillion, associ- ate professor of education: Dr. Charles Weimer, professor of education: and Ned Beary, assistant professor of speech. Of the three, only Beary voted in favor of the merger. He said, I voted in favor because I was convinced there was a need for all educators to work toward a common goal. Gremillion and Weimer had been against the proposal, because the new group will be forced to join the NEA. Gremillion stated, One of the prob- lems with consolidation is that the members would be forced to pay additional dues and there would be a national office telling people on the local level what to do. Proponents of the merger say that belonging to the national organization will benefit them because they will now be eligible for the benefits provided by the organization. These benefits include legal assistance, staff assistance. political and legislative power and group insurance protec- tion as well as liability protection. lidiirzati
