and the Rev. Clarence Parker lead a march down Franklin Street
last nisht in protest of the Board of Aldermen's 4-3 vote Monday
limiting picketing to the hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The march
followed a meeting by "concerned citizens" to discuss efforts
to nullify the amended ordinance. The group, formed last night,

mum of two years imprisonment
and up to $500 in fines.
The Chapel Hill police depart
ment estimates that as many as
150 to 200 people are still await
ing jury trial in Orange County
Superior Court on such charges.
Some individuals have as many
as 10 to 15 counts against them.
The court normally holds four
terms per year. It is expected,
however, that a special term will
be held in April to clear the books
of the large number of arrests
and charges which have accumu
lated in connection with anti-segregation
protests in Chapel Hill.
Persons arrested for violations
of town ordinances such as ob
structing traffic and blocking
sidewalks may receive a maxi
mum of thirty days imprison
ment. In one such case, Pat
Cusick, national field secretary
for the Student Peace Union was
sentenced to thirty days in Dec
ember for trespass and resisting
arrest. Cusick served twenty-six
days and received four days off
for good behavior.
In the past, courts of this
state have been lenient towards
uni oiienaers. Jrreceaent re

fenders have met with severe
penalties. It is not unusual for
a person with several counts of
a particular misdemeanor to re
ceive sentences to be served con
secutively. .

In Local Racial Situation
By GARY BLANCHARD
The UNC chapter of the Am
erican Association of University
Professors (AAUP) moved Mon
day night to investigate its role
in the current racial crisis here.
The group of about 140 pro
fessors agreed to have its execu
tive committee:
1. Form a committee to look
into claims of racial discrimina
tion on campus, including em
ployment, graduate student ad
mittance and hiring of Negro
professors.
2., Consider if the faculty group "
has - a role to play in the civil
rights situation in the com
munity. 3. Develop a position for
transmittal to appropriate facul
ty members and university of
ficials if students involved in
sit-in . demonstrations are found
guilty of student Honor Code
violations, when the first such
cases "are heard by the Men's
Council Thursday night.

discussion, but the group never

Graham School
Looted, Burned
Monday Night
Vandals broke into Frank Por
ter Graham elementary school out
side Carrboro Monday night,, set
two fires and littered floors' of
classrooms and the library with
books, records, and ink.
Sheriff C. D. Knight said that
a report was turned into the
Chapel Hill Fire Department at
8:10 a.m. indicating there were
two fires in the school. When fire
men arrived they found the fires,
one smouldering in a classroom
and one burned out in the library.
Evidence pointed to vandalism
and the Orange County SherifFs
Department was called.
Knight said that the vandals,
probably juveniles, broke into the
school and poured ink over books
and records they had strewn on
the floor. They then attempted to
set fire to a group of bdoks and
desks in a classroom.
Firemen estimated the dam
age in the neighborhood of $1500.
The school is insured against
fire losses.
The Sheriff's Department has
not completed its investigation,
and several youths have been
questioned. No charges or arrests
have been made.
"In the event the vandals are
minors," Sheriff Knight said,
"they will be remanded to juvenile
authorities, and action will then
be taken accordingly. If the van
dals are adults, they will be
charged with arson and vandalism."

Reporters present were asked
not to quote speakers directly in
the interest of "free and full

A motion to commend stu
dents involved in demonstrations
drew critical comments from
several fatuity members.
"I'm puzzled that faculty
members can incite students to
violation of the law," one pro
fessor said.
Another commented: "Civil
rights is not an umbrella under
which you justify anything . . .
it seems to me that some
methods of protest are right,
morally and legally, and some
are not. One of our duties as
professors is to make such a

NOTASULGA, Ala. (UPI) Six
Negroes found themselves sitting
alone Tuesday in another boycot
ted "desegregated" school a
situation which has spurred specu
lation that the federal govern
ment might issue a blanket school
integration order for the state of
Alabama.
The six Negroes attended school
in nearby Shorter the only pub
lic white high school in Macon
County that conducted classes
Tuesday.
Six other Negroes assigned to
mittee for further study.
Another faculty member drew
applause when he asked "Why
should the student council even
consider these (sit-in) cases?"
The professor reasoned that,
"If the AAUP differentiates be
tween law violations involving
civil liberties and regular crimi
nal violations and the student
courts do not, shouldn't the
AAUP protest the delegation of
this authority to the students?"
One professor, who said he
had just returned from the
Board of Aldermen meeting,
criticized Alderman Roland Gid
uz for asking in a statement that
citizens "cease and desist in
their confrontations with hold
out merchants, as it is holding
up progress.
"It seems to me," the pro
fessor said, "that he's asking
citizens to renounce their con
stitutional rights in a situation
in which there's not one shred
of evidence that any progress
has been made since last sum
mer." The professor said he has
been active in calling on seg
concern doesn't border on fear."
Blake, a tall, heavy-set man,
took time out from his hectic 15
hour day one afternoon this week,
and spoke quite frankly on the
current wave of sit-ins and sit
downs. "We've got to keep the peace
that's the only way to look at
it," said the chief, whose face
showed the strain that keeping
peace can bring. "These demon
strations are awfully hard on our

laws at the meeting.
the Notasulga school did not show
up for classes but neither did
any of the whites.
The 12 Negroes were transferred
to the Shorter and Notasulga
schools from nearby Tuskegee,
where another white boycott left
the 12 the only puji in the en
tire high school. State officials
closed the school on grounds it
was financially unsound to op
erate it for so few students.
The six Negroes assigned to the
Notasulga school apparently are
waiting until after a federal court
regated businesses in an inte
grated group, then filing com
plaints with the Mayor's Media
tion Committee. As a result, he
said, he and other professors
"have begun receiving nuisance
calls.
"This is a type of harassment
which goes on when one at
tempts to follow the channels
set-up by the Aldermen," he
said.
Another motion was made
that the AAUP chapter state
that it feels the action of stu
dent demonstrators is not a vio
lation of the Campus Code.
. This brought several profes
sors to their feet.
"I've heard several proposals
that the faculty take authority
away from the student govern
ment," one professor said "This
should not be done," he said,
noting the long tradition of stu
dent self-government at UNC.
The group voted unanimously
to meet again within a month to

force. The situation disturbs them,
but they have adjusted to it well."
The Chapel Hill force consists
of Blake and 22 others. A 24
hour day is divided into three
shifts for these officers shifts
which have become almost mean
ingless in the last two months.'
"Our men are putting in an
awful lot of -overtime," said
Blake, "and they may never get
paid for some of it."
The chief also commented on
the demonstrators' contention that
by "going limp" they were not
resisting arrest, but merely re
fusing to assist in their arrest.
"The charge of resisting arrest
has always been interpreted by
our department as including ac
tions which either obstruct or de
lay the arrest of an individual,"
explained Blake. "Ey going limp,
the demonstrator is failing to
heed the officer's demand. There
fore, he is delaying his arrest."
Another point which CORE lead
ers have expressed dissatisfaction
over is that the townspeople (and
onlookers) have blocked the side
walk, thereby interrupting the
march. Blake threw some light on
this situation.
"In Chapel Hill we do not have
an ordinance for parades, marches
and the like. Therefore CORE
does not have to have a permit
to march through town. Also, how
ever, this means that the towns
people have just as much right to
the sidewalk as the marchers
do, as long as the people do not
intentionally block the march."
This means that the marchers
have no right to force their way
through a crowdde sidewalk, ft
also means that people on the
sidewalk have no right to force
blockage of the march.
The overall impression you get
from Chief Blake is simply a
mirror of the overall impression
he gets from the town. Chapel
Hillians, by most standards, are
a patient, understanding group
of people. Their patience is be
ing tested and it shows signs of
weakening. That this growing re
sentment will not turn into vio
lence is everyone's hope. Un
fortunately, it is not an impos
sibility. Chief Blake and his staff
are aware of this thus they are
pishing themselves twice as hard
just to keep the peace.
