Effective Desegregation

Mess With
MOREHEAD CITY, Feb. 24
Ur They've found out what's been
causing the lights here to flicker
momentarily twice a day for sev
eral weeks. It was all the fault
of hungry seagulls..
Carolina Power and Light Co.
workers had been looking for the
cause of the flickering for three
i weeks. They even dispatched an
airplane to patrol the lines.
Then came a clue a report that
seagulls were either being shot
!or electrocuted at the city dump.
CP&L Manager George Stovall, an
old hand at fishing, immediately
figured it out. With fishing boats
idle because of cold weather there
were no fish scraps for the gulls.
They flocked to the city dump.
There were so many the overlap
ping wings short-circuited the
33,000-volt lines serving the city.
It happened twice daily because
city trucks dumped! garbage there
twice daily.
A visit to the dump confirmed
the diagnosis. Dead seagulls were
under the. power lines. The rem
edy was simple. The lines were
spread farther apart.
said that "effective implementa
tion of the decision will be de
termined, in part, by the ways
m which, a balance of interests,
groups, persons and institutions is
maintained."
The "good" community, he said,
s one that effectively maintains
and, when necessary, shifts this
balance. Adequate citizenship ed
ucation prepares the . community
to "meet new social inventions,
such as desegregation, and to rec
ognize differences without "using
them as tools for divisiveness,"
he continued.
"The community that locates,
identifies and discourages pat
terned evasions of the implemen
tation program will find it easier
to effect community acceptance
than will the community that
seeks to ignore or that refuses to
expose these practices," Dr. Reid
said

GMAB Starts
Talent Board
For Students
A new project is soon to be
sponsored by the Graham Mem
orial Activities Board.
The Dance" Committee of GMAB
is going to establish a talent bur
eau which will be at the disposal
of people who are interested in
performing and any organization
that is looking for entertainers.
The first step in setting up the
bureau will be tryouts which will
be held on March 7 in the Ren
dezvous Room from 4 until 5 p.m.
and from 8 until 9 p.m. Anyone
who does any type of entertain
ing or performing is urged to
come to the tryouts, according
to Gordon Forester, president of
GMAB. The purpose of the try
outs will be to judge the ability
of performers so that they may
be rated by the bureau.
After these tryouts, a file . of
all performers and entertainers
will be compiled. The file will
contain the name, type of enter
tainment, address and fee of each
person listed.
The file, which will be kept in
the GMAB Office, will be at the
disposal of any campus or other
organization or any group desir
ing entertainment for any occa
sion. ''We think it will offer a good
service to people on the campus
as well as t)ther people off the
campus, said Forester.
Use of the talent bureau will
be free of charge to everyone.
Requires
bers, Dr. Reid termed teaching
"a privileged profession, the only
major one swathed in a wrap of
'freedom,' academic freedom."
He enumerated three freedoms
of the profession: "The freedom
to learn, the freeddn to teach
and the freedom to. test ideas,
principles and programs through
scientific procedures in the mar
ket .places of theories arid ac
tions." Interrelationships of these free
doms are . maintained by the pro
fessor "through the privilege he
possesses of communication .with
his students, much as that of phy
sician and patient, minister and
confessor,' Dr. Reid asserted.
"Beyond the professional re
sponsibilities," he added, "the
professor must be a man of in
tegrity and a creative citizen. In
this area, I fear, our profession
as a whole has received its faint-
est praise,"

water and its importance in the
development of oar staterTlie fact
that water is our most valuable,
most vital, natural resource has
only recently been recognized in
North Carolina."

I Committee, addressed the local
' cnapter ot the Delta Sigma Pi, pro
fessional and business fraternity, at
its regular dinner meeting. .Au
brey Burroughs, Reidsville, presi
dent of the group, presided.
Discussing the intense drive in
North Carolina to bring industry
'' into North Carolina, Senator Med
ford cited examples of water usage
in which he said, "It takes 67,000
gallons of water to produce one
ton of coal burned in a steam gen
erator plant; 90,200 for a pound
of rayon, and 240 gallons for every
pound of meat packed."
He also discussed water short
age caused by drought and the
exfects of irrigation upon the state's
water supply.
."In recent years areas have re
ported a drop in the water table
that is, the drop in the amount of
water stored under the ground,"
he said. "This is serious, when we
consider that 2,800,000 people of
North Carolina depend upon
groundwater for their water sup
ply." The Senator presented the con
text of the recently submitted Wa
ter Code which is now a bill pend
ing before the Legislature. The
committee's studying the water
problem set up in the Water Code
"rights in the use of water, an
orderly procedure for apportion
mentfor the acquisition of vest
ed rights, and creates a Water
Commission and gives it broad
powers to plan for the use of water
for the state."
North Carolina has tackled the
problem, Senator Medford said, and
has recognized the necessity for
a 'planned water use. "We hope it
is not too late to get an effective
plan in operation."

Shaping Up
By EB8A FRUEND
The latest development in the
controversy over the recent
Chapel Hill PTA resolution
calling for a liquor referendum
is a meeting of the Chapel Hill
Ministerial Association to de
termine that group's stand on
the issue. - -
Several churches have come
out opposing the call for a vote.
The Rev. Henry Morgan sent a
letter to County Commissioner
Edwin Lanier stating that the
Mt. Carmel Baptist Church had
voted to present a petition op
posing the vote to the board.
The Rev. Charles Hubbard of
the University Methodist Church
. also spoke against the propo
sal. The idea, he said, was "im
moral" and "un-Christian."
Meanwhile another minister,
the Rev. Charles Jones, said he
would not oppose the establish
ment of ABS stores in Chapel
Hill on a trial basis. He sug
"gest ed " "two" years" as"a ' sui tabl e
time span to study the results.
The Jaycees in a resolution
passed last Thursday night, un
animously supported the PTA's
call for a vote but did not take
a position concerning ABC stores
in Chapel Hill. Included in the
resolution was a call to other
civic groups to do likewise.
LANIER AGAINST
County Commissioner Edwin
Lanier, the v only member of the
board to take a stand, came out
against the motion. Declaring
that the question was basically
. a moral one, Lanier defended
his position by pointing to the
high cost of law enforcement
necessitated by liquor law vio
lations. Clarifying his stand, he
said that he will urge the Com
' missioners to refuse the call for
an election.
If the Commissioners fail to
call forf a referendum, a peti
tion signed by 15 per cent of
the voters in the last guberna
torial election will make the
referendum mandatory.
PTA President J. L. Godfrey
said the question involved was
"whether the county is to get
any revenue." The PTA called
on the Commissioners for a vote
because of the need for money
for local schools.
Gray, Others Generally
Approve Education Bill
RALEIGH, Feb. 24 JJV- Al
though they found flaws in a bill
creating a state board of higher
education, heads of state-supported
institutions of higher learning
generally, expressed agreement
with the idea Wednesday.
Their criticisms were unfolded
during a hearing on the bill by
the Joint Education Committee.
As the hearing got under way,
"Gov. Hodges presented what he
called "amazing and appalling
statistics" showing that the state
is not "getting what it is paying
for in higher education."
He stated that in 1950-52, North
Carolina was 10th among the
states in the percentage of per
sonal income devoted to higher
education, that between 1947-53
it spent 72 million for permanent
improvements at its colleges

1950 "it ranked 47th among the
48 states as to the proportion of j

eht Leai stature
By NEIL BASS
The student Legislature last
night voted against the wishes of
four University Party leaders to
have the elections in Victory Vil
lage carried on simultaneously
with the campus elections. The
Victory Village Board of Direc
tors had asked the solons to take
such action.
There was mild discussion con
cerning the matter until Beverly
Webb, former floor leader of the
UP, rose to his feet to call it the
"most insidious bill ever to appeal-
before the Legislature."
Previous to Webb's statement,
Dan Wallace told the Legislators
that he hoped that they would
vote on the measure "nonparti
san." Webb asserted that if the Vil
lagers diun't have enough "inter
cat of their own, then they should
riot depend on the student gov
ernment to get the vote out." He
went on to say that spending
money to carry out an election
in the Village was spending stu
dent government funds "unright
fully." David Reid (SP) defended the
motives of the measure by saying
that the Village was "as much
a part of student government" as
ine dormitories or the fraterni
ties"' and thus were entitled - to
s.uoent government benefits.
The linai tabulation showed
that four LP's were against the
tide of opinion of the whole body.
These were Jack Stevens, UP
floor leader, Beverly Webb, Jim
Lxuin and Luanne Thornton.
The primary objection that the
UP hau to the bill was an amend
ment which allowed the ' students'
wives in the Village to vote for
the veteran s settlement board of
directors.
The second bill on the. docket
of the body was one which "clari
fied" the - Elections Law. It was
passed by the solons after a good
bit of discussion about the de
sired scholastic standards for a
student before he could participate
in extra curricular activities. The
big change was that now a stu
dent must maintain a "C" aver
age for his entire period of resi
dence instead of the former re
quirment of keeping the average
just the semester before the stu
dent becomes a candidate.

Committee
Approves
Sex Bill
RALEIGH, Feb. 24 Ut) The
Senate today received a watered
down water bill and sped a ju
dicial redistricting measure on its
way to the House by a one-sided
voice vote.
A House Judiciary Committee,
meanwhile, gave its approval to
a bill allowing up to 10 years
in prison for sex deviates con
victed of molesting children.
A Senate and House commit
tee heard a warning from a for
mer House speaker against pass
ing in its present form a bill to
completely rewrite the state's
corporation laws.
W. Frank Taylor of Goldsboro
told the Senate Judiciary and the
House Corporation Committee
that the proposed corporation law
represents "too much of a get
tough policy."
"If this law is enacted in its
present form," he added, "with
out more amendments than this
legislature will have time to con
sider it is just a notice to hang
on the state line to persuade new
corporations not to come into the
state."
Sens. C. Settle Bunn of Nash
and Arthur Kirkman of Guilford
introduced the watered down bill.
Bunn said the purpose of the mea
sure was to educate the people
on the need for water conserva
tion and to provide for emer
gency actions in the case of water
shortages.
The Bunn-Kirkman bill is much
less drastic than a measure, pro
posed by a gubernatorial water
study committee, which was in
troduced about 10 days ago. The
vater committee's bill would cre
ate a board of water commission
ers with far-reaching powers to
allocate the state's water resources
for "beneficial purposes."
The Bunn-Kirkman bill also
would set up a board water
commissoiners, composed of sev
3n persons appointed by "the gov
ernor The board would be charg
ed with the duty of carrying out
"programs of research, and edu
cation to the end that the peo
ple" of the state "shall be in
formed concerning matters hav
ing to do with the conservation
of water resources . . ."
In cases of water shortage the
bill would give the governor pow
er to proclaim an emergency at
the request of local authorities.
The board would then have the
power to adopt regulations allo
cating water in accordance with
a strict priority schedule.
