The National Alliance Against Racist and
Political Repression (NAARPR) mobilized
over 5,000 people from all over the nation to
march in Raleigh this July 4th.
Co-chairperson Angela Davis
proclaimed, "Today marks the beginning of
a new era in this country. We are not going to
stop until the majority of all people are with
us in the struggle against racism."
The struggle started in Raleigh because,
according to NAARPR leaders, North
Carolina is the most repressive and racist
state in the union.

Dr. Christopher Fordham, dean.fcf the
UNC Medical School, said Tuesday he will
reply to a request for information from
district solicitor Herbert Pierce concerning
the legality of a research project in which a
North Carolina Memorial Hospital nurse
midwife performed therapeutic abortions.
Pierce sent a letter to Fordham last week
asking for a detailed outline of the project as
it has been conducted to this point. Copies of
the letter were also sent to Dr. Charles
Hendricks, chairman of the Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology ' and to Dr.
Brenner, director of the project.
Pierce said his decision on whether to
prosecute those involved in the project will
depend on the information Fordham sends
him.

1973 General Assembly, states that it "shall

welcomed the protestors to his town and
said, 44 We must all continue to work together
to stamp out injustice."
The protest began in Memorial
Auditorium with various radical speakers.
Larry Little of the Winston-Salem Black
Panther Party stepped on stage in a purple
suit flanked by two cohorts. Little shouted,
"All power to the people!" and declared
Raleigh "the capital for repression and
racism for the whole United States of
America."
"The whole concept of Independence Day
is a fraud," Sidney VonLuther, a New York
State Senator, said. "It is a sham. Anyone
who raises his voice against the government
not be unlawful" to perform abortions
during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy if the
abortion is performed "by a physician
licensed to practice medicine in North
Carolina in a hospital or clinic certified by
the Department of Human Resources."
According to a recent report, the purpose
of the project was to determine whether
nurse-midwives (nurses who have received
two years graduate training in obstetrics and
gynecology) could be trained to perform
abortions.
During the project, which began in mid
1972, Linda Staurovsky, a certified nurse
midwife and instructor in the medical
school's Department of Obstetrics and
Gynecology, performed about 90
therapeutic abortions under the supervision
of doctors and medical faculty members.
Fordham said Tuesday that Staurovsks
participation in the program was halted
when the question of the project's legality
came up several weeks ago.

Sponsors of the project have said the
nurse's actions did not violate the law
because the abortions were performed under
the supervision of physicians. According to
Dr. William Brenner, a project participant, it
is comparable to what happens when a
medical school student operates. He said the
physician is responsible.
Before the project started, it was cleared
by the chairman of the Obstetrics
Gynecology department and by the Human
Rights Committee. The latter committee was
recently formed to protect human rights in
research projects.
Brenner said about 200 women seeking
abortions at the outpatient department of
Memorial Hospital were asked to participate
in the project. About 110 chose to have
physicians perform the abortions and 90
chose the midwife.
Fordham said all the patients were fully
informed beforehand of the nature of the
project, had agreed to participate and had
signed consent forms.

The controversial June 16 room search of
Mclver Dorm inspired a variety of reactions
this week from Mclver residents, including
numerous complaints that the search was
conducted in an offensive manner.
Many agreed, however, that the door
policemen had discovered propped open late
at night was a legitimate cause for a security
check.
Two University Police officers and two
Mclver staff members conducted a room-by-room
search of the dorm at 3: 30 a.m. Sunday
June 16 after officers notified the Residence
Director about the open door.
Residents' complaints included
inadequate explanation at the time of the
search, lack of a warrant by the search party
and checking closets without permission.
One resident, who asked that her name be
withheld, said she asked the searchers what
they were doing and was told they were
making a routine security check. "I don't
consider it an invasion of privacy, but they
didn't ask my permission to look into my
closet," she said. "I think the dorm needs
discipline; there is no other way to safeguard
the residents. But it was kind of scary."
"They should have searched," Collette
Moussalli said Wednesday, "but they should
have had a warrant, because the law is there,
and you should .abide by it."
"All the girls in the dorm have a right to a
certain amount of privacy," Betsy Un-hi

orderly. The march began with lines of
protestors 10 abreast walking arm-in-arm
down Fayetteville Street, while one block
away Salisbury Street was lined with over 40
State Patrol cars, engines running in case
any trouble developed.
But the only excitement came from about
10 counter-protestors who supported the
death penalty and held signs saying, "Go
Home Commie," and "Booooooo!" The
counter-protestors represented the Rights of
White People, the Ku Klux Klan and the
National Socialist White People's Party,
also known as the American Nazi Party.
As the march passed, the group was
surrounded by about 25 Raleigh policemen
who provided protection. The media livened
the action as local spectators raised clenched
fists for the cameras.
As the protestors gathered around the
capitol they shouted "Free Ben Chavis! Jail
Nixon!"
Davis was greeted with thunderous
applause at the capitol. "Though we may be
weak in political power," she said, "our will
to struggle is fierce. In Washington, D.C. at
this very moment they are trembling."
Rev. Ralph Abernathy, president of the
Southern Christian Leadership Conference,
led the group in a series of shouts of "Soul
Power!" and then said, "I have the message
for the pharaohs of this state. The word is
simple and the word is plain Let my
people go."
He called President Nixon "the most
notorious criminal in America"
and said that if he had his way he would
arrest Agnew, Reagan, Mitchell and Nixon
and put them in jail where they belong.
"I believe in non-violent resistance," he
said, but added, "there will be no peace
anywhere in America until liberty and justice
is accomplished for all Americans."

One resident said that unescorted men in
the dorm, not policemen, constituted an
invasion of her privacy. "My roommate, my
friends and I have seen men in the hall and
the bathroom after hours," Sabahat Given
said, adding that she had complained to the
Residence Director about men in the dorm
but never to campus police.

Leroy Gibson said. "They can't be nothing
but what they are."
Gibson, holding a sign that read "Angela
vs. Leroy," was one of 10 persons who stood
on the curb along the march route protesting
the march and its demand that the death
penalty be abolished.
"We're here to meet 'Angelee' Davis."
Gibson said. "She has her right to march on
that street there and we have the right to
stand here and oppose her."
"She doesn't have any right to come to our
state capital because she is a communist and
a murderer," another delegation member
said, referring to Davis's indictment and
aquittal of murder in California four years
ago.
Gibson and his group were surrounded by
hecklers minutes before the march passed by
their position across the street from the Sir
Walter Hotel on Fayetteville St. Extra
policemen were summoned who dispersed
the crowd from the street. But after they left,
the crowd reassembled behind the right-wing
group and from there gestured, shouted and
chanted "Ku Klux Klan, scum of the land" at
the group as the march passed by.
"We believe in complete separation of the
races," said Frank Braswell of the National
Socialist White People's Party, also known
as the American Nazi Party. "We would send
them back fo Africa. We got them over here
and it's our responsibility to get them back.
They don't belong. They don't fit."
"Black people commit 70 per cent of the
crimes in America and we're getting tired of
it," Gibson said. "They want to be equal and
guaranteed everything and live in the
jungle."
"The only ones we're really against are the
welfare bums," KKK member Alabama Lee
of Durham said.
federal aid to education.
The North Carolina plan contains more
than 600 pages of data and
recommendations dealing with the racial
status of each of the state's 16 public
universities and 57 community colleges and
technical institutes.
It outlines proposals aimed at equalizing
facilities and expenditures throughout t.ie
system and increasing the representation of
black students and faculty at predominantly
white campuses, and of whites at
traditionally black schools.
The plan also contains a clause limiting
the authority of the governor or any
university official to change educational
policy in any way that might run counter to
the intent of the desegregation program.
One of the plan's major features is a set of
goals for the ratio of blacks to whites at each
campus. At UNC, the proportion of blacks is
expected to increase from the present 5. 1 per
cent to about 7.1 per cent by 1977.
This will mean the number of blacks
enrolled should increase from less than 1,000
during the past academic year to 1,400 or
more in 1977.
According to the plan, this "increased
minority presence" will be achieved by
intensified recruiting, development of a
single application form for all state
institutions, and studies leading to greater
cooperation among schools with different
racial traditions.
