ull?r Harrttt Serorii Published Every Friday By The Record Printing Company BIGNALL JONES. Editor ? DUKE JONES, Business Manager Member North Carolina Press Association ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN WARRENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, UNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS "Second Class Postage Paid At Warrenton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year. $3.00; Six Months, $1.50 More Light On Gag Law There are few things in North Carolina that have been more mis understood orJhat has brought forth more emotionalism than tnat 01 tne Speaker's Ban Law. In the first place that Law was passed not to embarrass the com munists but the University of North Carolina. It was introduced as a result of a UNC professor taking part in a civil rights march in Ral eigh during the closing days of the Legislature in just 19 minutes with out a public hearing. Communism is no threat at the University of North Carolina and has never been. We know President Fri day and many of the older instruc tors at Chapel Hill. In recent years two of the editor's children have graduated from the University. Dur ing the more than half a dozen years they spent at the University they had no contact with any communists and never heard a communist speak. It is doubtful that more than a handful of communists have ever spoken at the University, and those were usually given a hard time by the comparatively small number of stu r" wenj to hear them. We v is will be verified by any a cores of graduates of the Uni- \y who are well known to our pb. 4e. The Chapel Hill Weekly, not apart of the University, but published in Chapel Hill, has an unclaimed offer of $100 to anyone who will find a communist among the faculty or stu dent body of the University. The only known communist speaker to appear on the campus of a North Carolina College within the past two years, we have been informed, appeared at Wake Forest, not covered by the Ban. In the question and answer period that followed his talk, the students made him look silly. The Speaker Ban Law, per se, is not the cause of the threat to the continued accreditation of state supported institutions of higher learning. The threat lies in the Legislature's interference with the actual operations of the schools. The Southern Association of Col leges and School is no sinster out side organization telling us "how to run our schools." The Association accredits public school systems in North Carolina as well as its col leges and universities. Its proceed ings are issued annually and are available to the public. In North Carolina its members include the majority of the public schools, and almost all the colleges of the state. Its members include Duke Univer sity, the University of North Caro lina, at Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Greenslsoro and Charlotte College (now a part of the University) East Carolina College, Wake Forest Col lege, Davidson College, Meredith, Lenoir Rhyne, High Point College and a score of others. The association of these schools and colleges was organized in 1895 in Atlanta, Ga. Prof. Edwin Mims of the University of North Carolina was a founder, and the charter members were the University of North Carolina., Vanderbilt, Uni versity of the South, University of Mississippi, Washington and Lee, Trinity College (how Duke). Other Information about the association may be found in a clipped editoral found elsewhere on this page. If this is true, why all the ex citement? The law has accomplished the purpose of its sponsors. It has embarrassed the University, as well as all other state operated institu tions of higher learning. Much worse it has harmed these schools and embarrassed their administrators. for instance, it must be rather embarrassing to President Friday when after a speaker has been in vited to speak at the University to have to ask him if he is a com munist or has he taken the Fifth A in end m e nr. SpvhthJ well?known? scientists have already refused to accept invitations under such con ditions. The law is an encroachment upon academic freedom and the right to know and as such is resented not only by college professors but by many others who believe jn free dom of speech and that the only way to combat error is with truth Was the law actually introduced in order to embarrass the Univer sity and not because of any com munist threat? Or was it to spite leg islation? Writing in a recent issue of The Charlotte News, Bob Smith, associate editor, in a three-part series, "What's Wrong At UNC? stated: Y?t communism as such is a vastly overrated issue as It Is used to ex KUaln the General Assembly's concern with the University, it Is Interesting to note that the ban on communist speakers, which lgnlt the present discord, was not passed In response to the appearance of a communist speaker at all. "It was a reaction agalnsty civil rights militancy and against demonstrations in Chapel Hill that has made the University's liberalism seem particularly abrasive to the' legislators, it is worth pausing to examine how the speaker ban got on the books and wnat it means. "The man most often credited with the Invention, Secretary qf state Thad Eure, describes returning to the Sir Walter Hotel ?? ?venln? of June 20, 1963, with the legislature still wearily in session, 'i was standing in front of the Sir Walter Hotel when the motliest Negro group you ever saw, looking like they had Just come from garages, plied up on the sidewalk and began clapping hands, shouting that they were going to sleep in the Sir Walter one of these days Jim Phlpps (Rep. James Phlpps of Oranee County who later resigned to become state commander of the American Legion) nudged me and said 'That man overthere'?he point ed to a white man?'I know he is a pro fessor at UNC.' I said, <WeU, you better get in touch with Bill Friday and see if ia some tactful way he can see to it that tnis doesn't happen again.' "Representative Phlpps couldn't reach Dr Friday, who was out of the state, and before ? President could get Into actlon maDy 'Wslators knew or fully understood what was happenlng-the speaker ban law drawn up by Mr. Eure at the re quest of a tiny group of lawmakers was pass 1m ^ 10 hast#' un<k,r ? sqspen sion of rules, and without debate. tan,'?" 18 lmP?rtant because my ItW "V?

JiS&s&wiftv:-/-' The Southern Accreditation Organization Has No Secrets Greensboro Daily News II the conjunction of Inquiries In Raleigh seems to cast the Southern Association of Colleges and School In the role of a sinister agency, comparable with the Ku Klux Klan let the coincidence of the questions be dis pelled. Officials and legislators are checking in to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools which accredits public school systems in North Carolina as well as its colleges and universities, with all the gum shoe techniques of a private eye. One legislator "divulged" that he has ac quired a book that "discloses" the nature of the organization and Its membership and rules and regulations. It Is hinted that all will be made known in due time. To forestall that foolishness, it may be well to look at the volume "Proceedings oi the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools." It is issued annually. It Is avall able to anyone. No secrets are In It. Who are the members? In North Carolina, the large majority of the public schools are members. That includes the Greensboro City schools and the Guilford County schools. It includes the Scotland County school In which legislator Roger Kiser teaches, it Includes most of the other school systems of the state, approved and accredited by the Southern As sociation. Besides the public schools, it takes In al so the colleges of North Carolina. In Greens boro, the University of North Carolina is a member, and so are Greensboro College, A. & T., Bennett and Guilford College. Other North Carolina members include Duke University the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, N. C. State Univers ity In Raleigh, Charlotte College, (about to be come the University at Charlotte), East Caro lina College, Wake Forest College, David son College, Meredith, Lenlor Rhyne, High Point College, Elon College and a score of others. The association of these schools and col leges was organized in 1895 in Atlanta, Ga. Prof. Edwin Mims of) the University of North Carolina was a founder, and the charter members were the University of North Caro lina, Vanderbllt, University of the South, University of Mississippi, Washington and Lee, Trinity College (Duke University). How is it governed? Each member is en titled to one vote in the annual delegate as sembly. The head of each Institution Is the official member; he may appoint someone to represent him. For example, Chancellor Paul F. Sharp Is the representative from the university at Chapel H1U. The delegates elect a board of trustees of 16 members and commissions that do much of the work of the association. There Is also a paid staff at the Atlanta headquarters. President William Fri day has been a member of the board of trus tees. Joseph M. Johnston, supervisor of cur riculum development for the State Depart ment of Public Instruction, is now a trustee. North Carollnans serving on committees include: Ivy Hlxon of Salem College In Win ston-Salem; Provost Taylor Cole of Duke University, Melvin Stahl of the Salisbury Pulblc Schools, Willard Swiers of the Fay ettevlUe schools^Lambert Davis, director of the U. N. C. Press, Dean Arnold Perry of tne u. n. c. school of Education, Heywood Bellamy of the Wilmington schools, T. O. Wright of Oak Ridge Military Institute. The association was organized for co operation and mutual assistance and to "elevate the standard of scholarship and to effect uniformity of entrance requirements." One of the main functions today is the accrediting of institutions of higher learning and public schools. Accreditation in the United States, as practiced by the Institutions of higher learn ing, is the task of six accrediting associations in the six regions of the country?one of these in the Southern geographical region and including the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The book describing the organization of the Southern Association and giving its mem bership and activities does not have to be obtained from under the counter or in a graveyard after midnight. The association maintains a public relations office in Atlanta, and Is pleased to disseminate the fullest in formation on request. There is no sheet or hood hiding the South em Association of Colleges and Schools. There's no need for a furtive search to discover any mischief or misdeeds. The as sociation is a mutual assembly of schools and colleges to benefit one another and the people of the states they represent. mHHHIIIIIIIUtMH RIDGEWAY NEWS ?t 11 m m h t Mr. and Mrs. Adam Seaman, Mr. and Mrs. H.
