Rodman Plans To File
Suit Against. NAAGP
RALEIGH (JP) Atty. Gen. W.
B. Rodman said today he will in
sist 'to the courts that the NAACP
is liable for failing to register in
North Carolina and should be pen
alized $500 as provided under the
law.
Rodman told newsmen that in
his opinion the reason the NAACP
doesn't want to register in "this
state is because it is "raising stu
pendous amounts of money" in
North Carolina and doesn't want
to reveal the amount and for what
it was spent. .
His comments followed a peti
tion filed yesterday in Wake Su
perior Court by the NAACP, which
seeks a judgment saying that it
is not subject to two North Caro
lina laws.
The lawa require: (1) out of
state corporations operating in
North Carolina to register with the
secretary of state., and (2) the reg
istration of all agencies which seek
to influence public opinion or
legislation.
Of the NAACP, Rodman com
mented: "without them going in
and stirring up the people, our
problems would be greatly simpli
fied." The attorney general told news
men he was getting ready to pre
pare a suit against the NAACP
when it filed iU petition here.
Rodman said, "my present
thought is to file a demurer to
the action to have the part of

Les Brown is no stranger to

Last spring's panty raids in

"Student trouble is only min

arrested in the panty raids were
fined $50 and costs. Some asked

relation to population and exist

Capt. Blake said Friday and
Saturday are the busiest days
for the force, and consequently
no one is off. During the rest
of the week, one man from each

Js far Heel .-.Now- ,
By CLARKE JONES
i Dr. William M. Whyburn, recently-elected
Acting Provost of
tbe Consolidated University, is a
Texan by birth but admits he "is
a; full-fledged Tar Heel now."
Especially is he a Chapel Hillian.
"There's no finer place in which
to live," he said in reference to
howhe liked it here.
; Whyburn, chairman of the Math
ematics Dept. here at UNC, was
elected to his ne?w position by the
Executive Committee of the Board
of Trustees last Monday at the
Trustee meetkig in Raleigh.
About his new job, Whyburn
says "On matters having to do
with academic affairs of the Uni
versity, I will study material made
available to me and will under
take to be accessible to interested
personnel on all campuses - (Wo
man College, N C. State, and
North Carolina). From these care
ful considerations I hope I can ad-
vise the president on any action
needed at the level of his office.
"I consider the office "of very
high importance in the University
and it was this consideration that
ments when Mr. Bill Friday (Act-
jng president of the Consolidated
University) and the Executive
Committee of the Board of Trus-
tees invited me to do so."

Legislators Uncertain
About Traffic Measure

campus. While others have said
the measure can put the heat on
students for breaking regulations
in the town of Chapel Hill too.
As the bill is written it states:
". . . to discipline excessive stu
dent violators of the traffic regu
lations of the University campus
and of Chapel Hill."
Thus it would seem that stu
dents may be prosecuted by the
Traffic Committee for "flagrant"
violations of both campus rules
and Chapel Hill regulations.
The Traffic Committee thus has
been empowered with authority to
take away student cars from "fla
grant" regulation breakers.
President Don Fowler appointed
the Committee some time ago, but
it "floundered" around without
official sanction to execute any
proposal affecting the campus as
a whole.
Now the group can tighten

"In this connection," he says,
"I spent the summer of 1955 at
universities in France, Italy, Ger
many and England.
"My present research activity,"
he explained further, "is in the
field of non-linear differential
equations and their applications.
It is being sponsored by the office
of Scientific Research, U. S. Air

Whyburn cited one incident that
may explain why he likes it here
a great deal. "On the day after I
was elected as Acting Provost," he
said, "my newsboy wrote 'congrat
ulations' beside the news ef my

"Here was a newsboy who was

thing like that," he said. "Its

taking lightly the business of get

Layton McCurdy chairs the Com
mittee. Other members are:
Chuck Flack, Jim Monteith,
Eric Jonas, Bob Mason, Gordon
Folley and Jim Dockery.
Fowler said he thinks the bill
"is the way to keep cars." "A few"
flagrant violators have been the
"cause" of the "movement" to lim
it cars, he said. "The storage lot,"
he concluded, "is the last resort."
The legislators, some think, took
an admirable step when they pass
ed a bill shortening the time limit
for turning-in excuses for missed
sessions. Some legislators have, on ,
occasion, been absent for two con
secutive meetings. Now they have
put a little pressure on themselv- t
es which should make attendance
better.
Planetarium
Show Is One
Of Best Yet
New color, electrical, and sound
effects have so impressed viewers
that they are acclaiming the cur
rent "Color in the Sky" as one of
the Morehead Planetarium's best
demonstrations.
Patrons are lavish in their praise
of the Planetarium's reproduction
of the sunrise and sunset during
which the chamber is bathed in
a multitude of beautiful colors,
and of the fascinating discharge
tube in which 20,000 volts of elec
tricity are shot to demonstrate
what scientists believe is the
cause of the Aurora lights.
To explain the aurora lights, a
vacuum is created in a four-foot
glass tube. Into it is . poured 20,
000 volts of electricity, and the
light of the electrical charge
changes gradually in color from
blue to orange.
Many viewers of the show say
that never before did they appre
ciate the color in the heavens or
understand why objects and phe
nomena in the skies emit or re
flect light in the colors that they
do. '
