Negroes Integrate Klan Rally
By ED FREAKLEY
Tar Heel Co-Editor
RALEIGH How does it
feel to be part of a minority
group?
Try sitting with a small
group of Negroes at a Ku Klux
Klan rally if you really want
to find out.
Shock, disgust and fear were
my reactions.
It was all a mistake. Two
photographers and myself en
tered Memorial Auditorium
here Sunday. We had to walk
between two Raleigh police of
ficers who were wearing riot .
helmets and carrying night
sticks. They looked us over
carefully.
Once inside we searched for
a place to sit. The upper right
balcony was partially empty.
We walked up the stairs and
sat down. In our section were
about 20 Negroes, the only ones
in the building.
Whites in our section notic
ed them and began moving.
The crowd of more than 3,
000 cheered loudly as they did.
Finally the section was clear
ed except for the Negroes and
ourselves.
A few college - age white
people came up to sit with us.
"White niggers," the crowd
yelled. "Why don't you kiss
the black men?"
Last Isue
This is the final issue of
the 1966 Summer Tar Heel.
The Daily Tar Heel will
resume publication Thurs
day, Sept. 15.
ity Guards at
Television cameramen turn
ed their lights on the group and
the crowd yelled, "That don't
make 'em any white." The
lights seared our faces and
sweat trickled down my back.
The Negroes remained calm.
The people in the next sec
tion began moving off when
three Negro men from our
section moved over with them.
Soon only the three were left.
Then about 100 Klan se
curity guards moved into the
two sections and surrounded
the group. The two photogra
phers and I decided to move.
The Negroes stood their
ground. .
The auditorium had filled
long before the 2:30 starting
time.
Outside were more than
2,000 people, about 100 of them
Negroes. The temperature was
pushing 90. Inside it was air
conditioned, but much hotter.
The tension kept rising.
A klan official walked out on
tha stage and asked the au
dience to stand and sing
"Dixie." "Look away" thund
ered forth the Negroes sat.
But when the Klan's Imper
ial Klud opened the rally with
a prayer, the Negroes stood
with bowed heads. Next to
them were the security
guards, dressed in their gray
uniforms, black ties, jump -boots,
helmets and web belts.
On each belt was a small
leather loop empty. It us
ually holds a five - cell flash
light. The speakers began. One of
them attacked Raleigh offici
als for making the rally a pub
lic meeting. He apologized to
the audience for the presence
of . the Negroes-
Million For Buildin
Sunday's rally in Raleigh.
Raleigh police, members of
the fire department, highway
patrolmen and SBI agents
were all ver the building. Out
side observing were three
members of the North Caro

Managers May Have Met
Prior To Raising Prices
By ABBY KAIGHIN
An employe of a local laun
dry said Monday that her boss
attended a meeting with repre
sentatives from other town
cleaners shortly before a ma
jority of Chapel Hill laundries
raised prices two weeks ago.
"They had a meeting about
two weeks ago. They all rais
ed their prices, so we decid
ed to go up too," she said.
An employe of another clean
ers said when asked why pri
ces were raised, "I thought
they all had to charge the
same."
All the managers who were
interviewed denied that they
attended a meeting, although
some of them said they heard
a meeting was going to be
held.
The manager of Van's One
Hour Klartinizing, Eastgate
Shopping Center, said, "All of
us went up. We have discus
sed prices, but we did not
have a meeting."
J. D. Jones Jr. of Village
Laundry and Cleaners Inc.
said, "I did not call a meet
ing about prices. I am inde
pendent cleaner." I don't dic
tate prices to competitors. I
Campus Utilities Assigned
Top Improvement Priority
University officials Tuesday
requested approval of an $81
million capital improvements
program to meet the needs of
1970.
As Gov. Dan Moore looked
on, Chancellor J. Carlyle Sit
terson told the six-mamber.
Advisory Budget Commission
that the program is needed to
keep the University on the
move.
"There is no such thing as
standing still," he said. "The
University of North Carolina
through history, wisdom or
gratuity or a combination of
them all has emerged on ev
erybody's list of the top 25 uni
versities in America.
"This we should keep in
mind."
The request includes dormi
tories for 2,000 students, and
new buildings for chemistry,
physical education, dramatic
arts and social science.
If the program is approved
by the Advisory Budget Com-,
mission, it will still have to
be okayed by the 1967 Gen
eral Assembly, convening next
February.
Sitterson told the commis
sion that within the next dec
ade, the University is expect
ed to reach its upper limits
in enrollment 18,000 students.
This fall's enrollment is ex
pected to be about 13,300.
