Sun. 2 p.m.) January 14, 1965 THE SALEMITE Page Three Assembly Speaker Reviews Events Of Negro Revolt Chester Davis, feature writer for he Journal and Sentinel, spoke in assembly, January S. For his topic iie chose one of the “memorable” lappenings of 1964, the civil rights issue and its paradox. Mr. Davis jointed out that during the last year, although “segregation based on law ceased to exist,” we saw more violent outbreaks than we had witnessed since the end of World War I. The Negro revolt is not peculiar to our times. It existed in the form of slave rebellions over the Black Codes in the 17th and 18th centur ies. Mr. Davis attempted to des- ribe and analyze the pattern of the Negro revolt today — rise and fall, iolence and rest. There are three main attitudes mong the American Negro. The onservative segment, like the Na tional Urban League, supports an accommodationist policy. Opposing this segment is the Black Nationa- ist group to which the Black Mus lims belong. This group endorses hatred of the white, violent tactics, nd voluntary segregation of the Negro. The middle-of-the-road roup, represented by the NAACP, ccomplishes its aims chiefly hrough court action. The speaker clearly pointed out .hy the paradox we witnessed dur- ng 1964 exists. The Brown Decision f the Supreme Court in 1954 “pre- icates the Negro revolt of the last en years.” Because the Negro had ained equality in education legally, lie thought he had accomplished one f his aims. But he became increas- ngly disillusioned during the ’60’s as le met reluctance in the South. He hen criticized the NAACP for its egalistic approach and claimed that ictory in the courts did not affect he Negro “man on the street.” This ittitude contributed to the rise of ither organizations. Because many Negroes were dis- atisfied with NAACP, three other organizations came into being. In December, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, a Negro woman on a bus refused to give her seat to a white passenger. This incident led to a boycott and the rise of Martin Luther King with the establishment of the Southern Christian Leader ship Conference. The all-Negro or ganization, directed chiefly by ministers, endorsed direct but non- Holent action and shunned legalism. The Student Non-Violent Coord inating Committee (SNICK) had its beginnings in Greensboro in 1956 when Woolworth’s refused to serve David Richmond, a student of A&T College. The “Sit-in” movement then started. It was adopted in 1960 by all states except Mississippi, where it began in 1961. The third organization, the Con gress of Racial Equality (CORE) had been founded by the Quakers in 1947. Its influence in the South was made known by the “freedom riders,” whose bus trips were de signed to test interstate desegrega tion. Now the four agencies — NAACP, Southern Christian Leadership Con ference, SNICK, and CORE — are competing against each other for members and have forced the pro test movement farther and farther left. I In 1964 the Negro protest con centrated not only on the schools, but on employment, housing, and voting as well. This last area was one of real progress for the Negro during last year, even in the deep Southern states. But the Negro’s failure to gain greater “fruits” from the passing of the Civil Rights Bill, has again brought disillusion. And it is this disillusion that will cause any trouble in 1965. As Mr. Davis concluded, “Be cause of the Negro’s heritage of slavery, it is hard for him to realize his second goal, realization of the fruits of his legal victory.” Carolina Representatives Give Program On N S A An exceptional amount of interest in the January 7 assembly program was apparent. The speaker. Bob ^Spearman, and his associate, Peter Wales, were undergraduates visiting ■IS from the campus of the Univer sity of North Carolina at Chapel ill. Bob, who is president of the stu dent body at Carolina, a member of Phi Beta Kappa and president of the Chapel Hill chapter, and has just recently achieved the distinc tion of being chosen as a Rhodes Scholar, delivered a speech on the FOR SCHOOL NEWSPAPERS YEARBOOKS PROGRAMS COLOR-PROCESS PLATES Let our experience solve your problems.

Peter Wales, who is a national officer of the NSA, was along to help answer any questions that the audience had. Bob began by explaining the re cent referendum Carolina had on NSA affiliation. The main thought of the referendum was that people do not understand what NSA is and how it functions. The referendum passed by five hundred votes.

These students will serve in a consultary capacity. Dean Ivy Hixson, chairman of the Curriculum Committee, intro duced Jan Norman, Ann Richert, and Ann McNeill to the committee at its first meeting after Christmas. The girls received an agenda of the meeting. Serving on the Library Commit tee are Valerie Denning, Cherry Causey, and Jill Stewart. Since this committee deals mainly in business matters, the students have not been consulted. However, a problem may arise, about which the students will be invited to discuss at the commit tee meeting. The presidents of the upper class es, Ellen Heflin, Zelle Holderness, and Dabney Kelly met with the Calendar Committee and helped set up the calendar for next year. Mrs. Mary Melvin, chairman of the committee, commented that it is very helpful to hear student opinion on this subject with which they are closely connected. Election Slate Student Government has announc ed the following schedule for stu dent body elections: Thursday, Feb. 11 — Blank slate apears in The Sale- mite ; Monday, Feb. IS — Nominations are made in the dormitories; Wednesday, Feb. 17 —■ Legislative Board begins work on the slate; Monday, Feb. 22 — Legislative Board ends work on on the slate; Thursday, Feb. 16 — The final slate is published in The Salemite; candidates give their platforms; Monday, March .1 — The Kick-off Banquet; Tuesday, March 2 — Elections in Assembly. Birth Control (Continued from page 2) is taking place today. Mr. Pearson states: “This could jar the founda tions of our society, which is based upon family and fidelity. For history shows that the great nations of the past began to deteriorate after moral decay set in.” The article goes on to discuss the medical aspect of contraceptives. Many doctors fear the physiological effect of prolonged use of the pills. One possibility of prolonged usage is that older women -will remain fertile after they discontinue using the pills. This might result in con ception at the age of fifty or sixty. Mr. Pearson sums up his article with the words, “yet more and more, leaders are beginning to realize that this controversy over contraceptives is no mere medical matter.” It is the American way to believe in love, marriage, sexual intercourse, and families — in that order. Can we alter this scheme of things with out harming our basic beliefs, the backbone of our nation? Drew Pear son thinks not.

Seniors Top Competition In Volleyball Tournament In the first week of play in this year’s volleyball tournament, the senior class came out on top in three out of six games. These intramurals began Tuesday, January 5, and con tinued Wednesday and Thursday. The sophomores defeated the freshmen on the first night, and the seniors won out over the juniors. Wednesday the seniors again won, defeating the sophomores. The jun iors forfeited to the freshmen. On the third night of play, the sopho mores and seniors again were vic torious, stopping the juniors and freshmen, respectively. The captain of the freshman team, Cilia Taylor, and sophomores Eliza beth Johnston, captain of the team, Dabney Kelley, and Boodie Crow were valuable players for their classes. Junior captain Ann King and teammate Carol Gerrard boosted the juniors, while Beth Moore, Sally Day, Betty Gardner, and Bitsy Richhreimer were outstanding for the seniors. The class which has won the most games at the end of the second week of play will play a faculty volleyball team in the faculty-student tourna ment on Tuesday, January 19. GIRLS!
