State Student Legislature
Repeals Speaker Ban Law
The Student Legislature of North
Carolina — after lengthy and oc-
cassonally eloquent discussion —
passed a resolution Thursday call
ing for repeal of the Communist
speaker ban law.
Bill Eyerman of Lillington, a stu
dent at East Carolina College, was
elected president of the Senate.
Mike Lawler of the Unviersity of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill was
chosen speaker of the House.
It was announced that the 240 Ne
gro and white sudents were holding
their first meeting in which hous
ing is integrated. The students are
staying at the Carolina Hotel.
The. speaker ban repeal resolu
tion was introduced at the opening
session of the group at the Capitol
shortly after an address by Gov.
Sanford.
George Archibald of Chowan Col
lege introduced the measure on be
half of his school, Greensboro Col
lege and East Carolina College.
The Resolution
The resolution, which passed unan
imously after deletion .of one por
tion, stated in part:
“...the college student is at an
age where he should be faced with
the views of a Communist, as well
as those of a member of our own
system so that he can properly and
prudently differentiate and analyze
the two systems, their points of
view, and their methods of presen
tation. . .”
Ardiibald, who told the group he
had lived in several nations abroad,
including England, “entrenched in
socialism,” said the State Legisla
ture “put its feet in an area where
it should not have stepped” when it
passed the law prohibiting Commu
nists, and persons taking the Fifth
Amendment because of subversive
backgrounds, from speaking on cam
puses of State-supported colleges.
Archibald read several editorials
from North Carolina newspapers
and accounts of dissent from Dr.
William Friday, president of UNC,
and former UNC president Gordon
Gray.
Said Archibald: “A college or uni
versity is a forum where impar
tial truth and knowledge must be
heard.”
Other bills, some of them con
troversial in nature, scheduled for
introduction in the coming two days
of the Student Legislature include
one which would give the Gover
nor veto power; one which would
ban the flying of the Confederate

Model UN Attended
By ACC Students

General Assembly at Duke Univer
sity. The students who attended
were Gina Allen, Kathy Traylor,
Nam Cho Park, and Dwight Wag
ner. Mr. Gordon Mercer accompan
ied the group as faculty advisor.
The ACC delegation represented
the group as faculty advisor.
The purpose of the Model U. N
General Assembly was to recreate
as closely as possible the actua'
workings ,of the United Nations in
New York. The issues debated wer
of a very complicated nature, and
proceedings were conducted by
strict parlimentary procedure.
This was the first year Atlantic
Christian had participated in this
event, and the ACC delegation re
garded it as a learning session.
Members of the delegation said tha‘
they had learned a great deal about
conditions in he world and are look
ing forward to next year’s session.
Consideration Pleaded
For Negro Entertainers
The Executive Board of the Co
operative Association of Atlantic
Christian College adopted a resolu
tion Monday night urging the admin
istration and cooperative organiza
tions to give more serious consid
eration in allowing student Negro
entertainers to eat in the campus
cafeteria.
The motion was introduced by
Richard Surles, Sophomore class
president, as a result of an
incident Saturday night when The
Dynamics, a Negro group from
Johnson C. Smith University, who
were scheduled for a Freshman
Class dance, were' refused service
Surles stated, “If the Administra
tion would use more forethought
ACC might be spared future em
barrassment.”
'The resolution stated, “It seems
unchristian of this church-related
institution to deny this right in
consideration of the recent position
taken by the Board of Trustees.”
Opposition to the resolution was
offered by Robert Bennett, dean of
students, however, the motions pass
ed by a seven to six margin with
