By CHUCK HAUSER He was a blond, sun-burned young man, and he rode into' Chapel Hill on an English bi cycle. Fastened to the handle bars were a rolled sleeping bag and a portable radio. On the baggage shelf over the rear wheel was an aluminum suitcase bearing the red-paint legend, "Touring USA." And that's exactly what Dan Douglas is doing. Dan is 21 years old, and he completed his junior' year at San Jose State College in California at the end of January. He de cided he wanted to do sbme traveling before he entered his last year of academic life, so he postponed the start of his senior year until September and bought himself a bicycle. He set off from San Jose on February 1, pedaling south. He went as far as he could go with out entering Mexico, then turned east, following roughly the con tours of the ' southern United States. When he reached Tal lahassee, Florida, he headed up the east coast.- He arrived in Chapel Hill last weekend, much tanner than when he started and 23 pounds lighter. ATO "Three years of college is a long stretch," he explained to his Alpha Tau Omega fraternity brothers at the local chapter house on East Franklin Street. "I decided I needed a vacation, and I wanted to see if I could make a long trip on a bike." Dan's parents are presently living in Yokosuka, Japan, where his father, a Naval officer,, is stationed. His folks are keeping up with his trip as closely as they can, and so is his fiancee, Miss Marlene Wallsten, who is a stu dent at Washington State College in Pullman. The trip, so far has cost Dan between $150 and $173, and he "believes he will have spent no more than $375 when he winds up his 8-000-mile travels at the end of five and a Half months. How does he travel so cheap ly? The sign on the rear of his suitcase is the key.. People who see him along the way invite him in for meals and ask him to spend the night with them. Sometimes automobile travelers , i stop on the road and tell him where they plan to camp out for the night, and he joins them when he reaches their destina- ... .s tion. , i Another money-saver is his fraternity membership. Thereare ATO houses on most major col lege campuses all over the coun try, "and Dan usually schedules such college stops on his itiner ary. . : ' Has bad weather 'affected him? He's been lucky, Dan says. He only ran into rain on two days ' once between Macon and At lanta, Georgia, and once between Columbia, South Carolina, and Rockingham, North Carolina.- Dan averages 100, miles a day, and he has pedalled as much as 140 miles in a single day. He doesn't travel at night, although he has lights on his bike for emergency purposes. As you m.ght expect, Dan has had a number of interesting ex periences on the journey, and he had one close brush with injury. That happened in Ban ning, California, where a motor ist turned into a parking space unexpectedly and cut the bi cyclist off. Dan rammed into the car and bounced up on the side walk. His only injuries were a few scratches and bruises. "A dangerous situation I run into on the highway," he said, "is when two big trucks pass one another at the same time I'm -riding at that particular spot. If there's no shoulder on the road, the only thing you can do is run into the ditch. Tve gone through that experience several times." , - . - ; ., .. -. One'of the most unusual things that has happened to the travel er occurred near Macon, Georgia. There he was picked up by the police and ' questioned for some time until he proved he wasn't, the escaped convict they were looking for. How did 'he prove it? He showed them a New Or leans newspaper clipping telling of his journey. As Dan continues his trip (he's going up the east coast, turn left at Canada, ride to the Pa cific Oceon, and head south to home base), possibly a clipping of this article will help him out of a situation similar to the one which cropped up in Georgia. if n !

Raiford was fired for "editorial izing" on his Wednesday night record program "Raiford at Ran dom." According to a news re lease by the officials of radio sta tion WBT, Raiford was told that ' he should not take an editorial type stand on the Nat "King" Cole incident which occured , in , Birm ingham with the tape recordings that he had made on Wednesday. Coming onto the stage in Memor ial Hall, Raiford commented on the spring weather. "It's a fine day to be free," he said, and then introduced himself as "Bob Raiford, formaly of WBT in Charlotte." He followed this later with, "Sor ry I was late today. I had planned to fly down in the company plane, but I have no more company . . . so no more airplane.'" During the intermission at the show Raiford consented to an in terview with several reporters. When asked if the "no-editorializing" policy was peculiar to WBT, Raiford said that every station formulated its own policy. Button the issue. Of segregation and its related problems, Raiford said, "Radio and ' TV are taking no stand on this issue. "It's like covering Mount Mit chell with cellophane and pretend ing it isn't there," the announcer continued. . . - With regards to his firing, Rai ford said, 'It was worth, it to me to tell my story. I am not sorry. Maybe I didn't use too much dis cretion. Several people said that if I didn't like the way things were going why didn't I go buy a farm someplace and get out of it," Rai ford said. LOSS OF INTEGRITY "I thought about it," he contin ued, "but I don't want to run away from what I had wanted to become a part of. It would have meant a loss of integrity 'for me," Raiford said, "and I think it would have hurt the people if I hadn't told my story." WTicn asked just what that story said he had ejoyed working there, and that it had almost been like one big family. "If they fired me for insubordination, the station was completely justified in their action," he said. "But if they fired me for stating an opinion that they didn't dare, go on record with, then I think it is best that we did part company." Raiford was asked what the re action to his action had been. He said, "The phone started rinsing the moment I went off the air. I wanted to talk to those people all night long, but we had to close the line. Sometimes I had two on the line at once." He said that he ! didn't get a single unfavorable comment from any of the people who called in. The calls were com ing from several different states, Raiford said. "I even got a wire rom a ship at sea." As to plans for the future, Rai ford said, "It all happened so quickly that I haven't had time to make any real plans. They give you two weeks pay when you get ired, so I can eat that long any way. I think I'll just sit tight and see what turns up." have 150 by nightfall yesterday and between 150 and 200 by the Monday deadline.
