Elk Official Calls On KKK Grand Dragon Alex. Barnes Visits Home Klan Leader RALEIGH—In a continued effort to come face to face with the Ku Klux Klan, the Civil Liberties Department, Im proved Benevolent and Protect ive Order of Elks of the World, working thru the N. C. State Association, took the matter directly to the home of Grand Dragon Robert Jones, Friday night when Alexander Barnes, J state director, visited him in Granite Quarry. _ The visit was a follow-up of a letter sent to Jones, by Barnes about t".vo weeks ago, in which he invited the Grand Dragon to take part a in panel discussion, which would be one of the features of the Annual Program of the Civil Liberties Department of the Elks in Ra leigh, Sunday, May 1, at 8:00 pm. In telling of his experi ence Barnes says that he was met at the door by a white woman, whom he believed to be the wife of the Grand Drag on, and when he asked to see Jones she graciously agreed. • It was not very long before Grand Dragon Jones came to the door and extended his hand in a cordial greeting. Barnes is said to have told the Klan leader that he wanted to know wheher he had received the invitation and whether he would be present. He replied (hat he had received the invi tation and was seriously con sidering accepting. Jones told of his association with Negroes and said that there were many he counted as personal friends. He asked if Attorney McKissick would be one of the panel members and was told that he was being con sidered along with L. E. Aus tin, Dr. Frank Graham, Capus Waynick and Malcolm Sewell. According to Barnes, such names as P. R. Jervay, Tom Jervay, and Dr .A. B. Moseley, have also been mentioned. It Is apparent, however, that Barnes does not have the sup port of all the Elks. A letter, signed by E. M. Butler, Wil mington, state secretary of the Elks reveals that the program went on record as being op posed to any part of Jones on any of its program. NCC President Student Government Gives Reason For Campus Revolt "We are engaged in a great revolution on this campus," stated Charles E. Daye, Stu dent Government Association president at North Carolina College, in his recent "State of the Campus" address. Speaking to the Student Con gress in a program carried live over the college's closed-cir cuit television facilities, Daye compared the campus revolt to tfie American revolution, citing both as rebellions for freedom. Daye said the revolution at NCC was motivated by Dr. Al fonso Elder, a now retired president of the college, with a "pronouncement of student Self-direction in 1947," and confirmed when the student body last March struck for a Code of Student Conduct." "We shall revolt with ideas and intellect," Daye said, as he criticized what he called a system which denies students a chance "to grow into adult hood."
