Statistics Professor
Roy Dies In Canada
A memorial service will be
held here in September for UNC
statistics professor S. N. Roy
who died July 23 in Jasper,
Canada, of a cerebral hemorr
hage. Professor Roy was 58.
He was vacationing on the way
back to Chapel Hill from the
University of Colorado, where he
had been a guest lecturer at a
National Science Foundation In
stitute in ' Multivariate Analysis.
Professor Roy was one of the
world's outstanding authorities
in the field of multivariate ana
lysis, a branch of statistics wide
ly used in psychology, sociology,
and the behavioral sciences.
Born in Calcutta," India, in
1906, Professor Roy received his
B.Sc. degree at Presidency Col
lege in Calcutta in 1928 and his
M Sc. in applied mathematics at

homosexual, an integrationist in
the South, or a segregationist in

Before coming to UNC in 1950,

Since coming to UNC he has

Professor Roy spent last year

"North Carolina made little
progress in " desegregating its
public schools in 1962-63," a
UNC law instructor declared in
a report prepared for the Fed
eral Civil Rights Commission.
Assistant law professor Rich
ard E. Day made the statement
in a study on N. C. School inte
gration made public Saturday
by the Civil Rights Commission.
Day, a 34-year-old native of
St. Joseph, Mo., has completed
two such studies since arriving
here in 1961. Both reports dealt
with school integration. He
studied at the University of
Pennsylvania and the Univer
sity of Michigan Law School, and
was a practicing attorney in
Washington, D. C. for over three
years.
He said he volunteered for the
task of doing the report after
the Commission requested uni
versity help. New teaching at
the second summer session here,
Day expects to move into the
associate law professorship - at
Ohio State University's College
of Law.
Seven communities desegre
gated at least one school in
1962-63, creating a total of 18
districts with desegregated
schools. Only one quarter of one
per cent of the State's Negro
students attend classes with
white children. Of the State's 173
school districts, 155 still operate
totally segregated school sys
tems, the report said.

writes.
"Therefore, the attorney just
starting out, whose only fortune
is his good name, listens to the
voices within him that whisper
caution, and whine with fear,
and tell him to wait; wait until
your prestige is secure, your
voice more powerful; wait for
the right time, for the right case.
But the right case at the right
time seldom comes. And while
the attorney waits, the right to
counsel goes by default."

their practices. Lawyers in Mis

"Even in those communities
which desegregated voluntarily,
the prevailing attitude of school
officials remained one of con
tainment and tokenism," the
study reported.
Two court decisions, "together
with an awakening of Negroes to
their civil rights, point to a
growing decline in school segregation."-
These decisions, hand
ed down by the Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals on Oct. 12,
1962, involved Durham and
Caswell County schools. The de
cisions, however, did not affect
school segregation policies, in
1962-63.

KKK Plans
Open Rally
On Saturday
The Ku Klux Klan will hold a
public rally Saturday night near
the Dixie Inn at the intersection
of NC 86 and 1-85, south of Hills
fooro. The rally will begin at 8
p.m.
Orange County Sheriff C. D.
Knight said law enforcement of
ficers would attend the rally to
maintain order and direct traf
fic. Announcement of the rally
indicated that the Grand Dragon
of the North Carolina . United
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan
might be present.
The rally will be the second in
this area this year. A rally was
held and a cross burned last
spring near the intersection of
the Old Durham Road and the
Chapel Hill-Durham Boulevard.
Before last spring's rally, al
most no Klan activity had been
observed in the Chapel Hill area.

involvement in racial issues. The
case of James Gilliland is typi
cal of what can happen to a
lawyer who defies community
sentiment. A respected lawyer
in Warren County, North Caro
lina, he spoke up in favor of the
Supreme Court School Desegre
gation decision in 1954, and sub
sequently represented eleven al
leged Communists before a local
session of the House Un-American
Activities Committee. The
reaction in this rural community
was explosive. Within a week,
Gilliland was expelled from the
Lions Club where he had held
the office of secretary, and from
a country club to which he be
longed; he was also asked to
resign his post as solicitor in
the local Recorder's Court.
