On The Campus Controversy: Opinions On Pickets, Integration Vary Widel) By Harve Harris and Mike Robinson "How are we going to get together in Heaven, if we can't get together down here?" This was the reaction of a soft-spoken Negro woman to last week's picketing of the all-white Carolina theater which re-. fused to integrate upon the request of Chapel Hill Negroes; and whites. It was just one of the reactions gained from informal talks, with seven Chapel Hill residents. Interviews were assured that their names would not be printed, in order to obtain their -unreserved opinions. The only public official interview, Lieutenant Ed King ; of the Chapel Hill Police Department, declined to make a statement, either in his official capacity or as a private citizen. A manager of a local parking lot at first agreed with the cause of the demonstrators, then changed his mind. "They hate somebody; no, I don't know who the hell they hate, but it's somebody," he said. "Besides, it wasn't done in the right way." Asked what way he would advise the demonstrators to go about achiev ing their ends, he replied, "I'm not in the advising business." "I know that it came from the outside," he offered. I know because the cars that came from Durham that day parked here." "I'm opposed to picket lines because I've seen how they work. I saw John Lewis ruin the state of West Virginia." Two soda jerks working in a downtown drug store shared similar opinion's. "They (the Negroes) ought to stay in their place," the one in the green sweater declared. "They had a theater of their own, but then they let it run down and it was condemned." - A Negro girl came up to the counter. "Strawberry cone, please." "Well," the clerk in the brown sweater said in reply to a question, "I guess I'd still go to the movie if it was integrated; but I wouldn't be as determined to go." Green sweater moved to the other end of the counter. Brown sweater deftly mixed a milk shake and reflected while it shook. Yes, he thought that the influence to demonstrate came from outside Chapel Hill. But he didn't know if it was the NAACP. "It doesn't matter; if they didn't have that, they'd have some other organization." A middle-aged Negro woman, her arms loaded with pur chases, was asked for her opinion of the demonstrations. She replied with the quotation given at the beginning of the story. Why did she suppose the pickets marched? "The colored here need a theater. When we want to go to the movie we have to go to Durham." In Durham, the movie has a balcony where Negroes sit, segregated from the white audience which sits downstairs. Yes, she thought, the Chapel Hill Negroes would be satis fied with such a segregated arrangement in local theaters. She didn't know why the theater for Negroes was discon tinued, saying only, "it was condemned." She thought that it had done a good business while it operated. Another Negro, a girl who appeared to be in her late teens volunteered that she hadn't known anything about the demon strations until they had ceased. But she wished she had. "I would have liked to have picketed too," she said smiling. But another girl, a white Carolina student, wasn't as sympathetic. "I'll tell you what I think. Now I don't want my name though I agree with their cause, I'd go to the movie if I wanted used, but I'll tell you. If the pickets were out there, and even to. It would be the only chance I'd have to see it." The demonstrators didn't seem to regard this as a main function of their picketing. As one of their members, Charles None of those interviewed were sure of whether the pickets had kept customers away from the movie, "Peggy and Bess." Jones, the minister of the Community Church said last week in a meeting of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Ministerial Associa tion: "I'm not so sure the greatest value of the picketing is in the economic boycott, but in speaking to the conscience of the people."

The university announcement said school officials were anxi ous that all "young men and women at the university con duct themselves with dignity, judgment and maturity."
