When Edward Diggs was admitted
to UNC in 195 1 , he was the first black
student to be admitted to a Southern
university without a court order.
Diggs had been accepted to the
University of Chicago's medical
school, but he wanted to attend UNC
because it was closer to home.
Although Diggs was not the first
black student to be admitted to UNC,
he was the first whose application was
legally uncontested. His admission to
UNC's medical school came in the
midst of a number of conflicts that
led to the eventual desegregation of
UNC. The first suit for admission at

stomp Cavs

For Virginia coach Terry Holland,
things were going pretty well at
halftime of Saturday's contest against
second-ranked North Carolina. His
Cavaliers trailed only 38-30 to the
homestanding Tar Heels and were
certainly within striking distance.
But after the second half had ended
with UNC rolling to a 87-62 victory
in the Dean Dome, Holland was less
than pleased.
"There was an awful lot going on
in the second half," said Holland of
the Big East-like final period. "That
was not a basketball game."
The young and undersized Cava
liers fell to 1-2 in the ACC and 8
8 overall. -The Tar Heels will go into
Thursday's home battle with Duke at
2-0 in ACC play, 13-1 overall.
Indeed, the game saw technical
fouls called on both benches, and was
marred by three intentional fouls and
a minor confrontation between sev
eral players.
"Virginia is usually as physical as
any team we play," UNC coach Dean
Smith said.
Regardless of the style of play, the
Tar Heels ended all Cavalier hopes
of winning by opening up the second
half with a 15-4 run.
Junior guard Jeff Lebo led UNC
with 23 points and sophomore J.R.
Reid made 11 of 17 free throws en
route to 19.
The Cavaliers were led by senior
forward Mel Kennedy's 23 points and
junior guard Richard Morgan's 14.
Before the action became more
appropriate for Kenan Stadium,
sophomore forward Scott Williams
opened the game for the Tar Heels
with a trio of short jump shots.
Virginia countered with the outside
shooting of Kennedy and Morgan,
both of whom hit three-pointers
sandwiched around Morgan's foul
line jumper, for an early 8-6 Cavalier

Students, residents march on

Dedicating oneself to fulfilling the
dreams of Martin Luther King and
realizing the problems facing blacks
in the areas of housing and education
were the themes speakers emphasized
Monday during activities honoring
King's birthday.
Approximately 200 people
gathered at the Franklin Street Post
Office for the second annual Martin
Luther King Celebration of Unity and
Conscience, sponsored by the Orange
County Rainbow Coalition. After the
short rally, the crowd marched down
Franklin Street to the First Baptist
Church for a memorial service.
At the rally, senior Linda Shealey,
co-chair of Students for the Advance
ment of Race Relations, addressed
educational problems that exist at the
University and in the Chapel Hill
Carrboro public schools.
"Institutionalized racism and self
segregation make it hard for the
minority student to feel a part of the
University community," Shealey said.
This racism and self-segregation
account in part for the high rate of
UNC was an unsuccessful attempt in
1933 by a black man seeking admis
sion to the pharmacy program.
Desegregation at UNC moved
slowly at first, with only a limited
number of incoming black students.
Still, the movement to desegregate in
North Carolina was ahead of other
states in the South.
North Carolina was the first South
ern state to provide graduate and
professional programs for blacks,
instituted after the 1938 Supreme
Court decision that required segre
gated education to be equal.
Problems with the "separate, but
equal" ruling appeared when students

"UNC is teaching me something I
have no desire to learn racism,"
Shealey said.
Racial problems also exist in
Chapel Hill's public school system,
Shealey said. Black students in first
through eighth grade score signifi
cantly lower than whites on achieve
ment tests, and they never make up
this deficit, she said.
Yonni Chapman, secretary of the
Orange County Rainbow Coalition
and one of the organizers of the rally,
spoke about the lack of student
housing in Chapel Hill.
The University has expanded in the
past 20 years, but has built very little
student housing, Yonni said. This
forces students and town residents to

UNC: a look at the
Negroes (NCCN) began applying to
UNC as graduate students in areas
not offered or accredited by NCCN.
As late as 1950, NCCN offered
degrees in 22 undergraduate areas, 13
master's degree programs and no
doctoral programs. UNC offered 30
undergraduate majors, 36 master's
degrees and 25 doctoral programs.
In the 1940s, black students could
attend UNC as graduate students
only in fields not offered by NCCN.
Since NCCN did not offer a medical
program, Diggs was allowed to attend
UNC.
Even if NCCN did not offer a
graduate program, officials tried to
create or expand the program at

"As a result, both groups have
suffered by having to pay high rent
prices," he said.
After the rally the crowd began the
march from the post office to First
Baptist Church. During the march the
crowd sang and chanted, "The people
united will never be defeated," and
"Hey, hey, ho, ho, high rent has got
to go."
The crowd grew to more than 250
people at the memorial service, which
was sponsored by the South Orange
Black Caucus. Rev. J.R. Manley,
pastor of First Baptist Church,
welcomed the marchers to the church
and said it was important for people
to keep marching.
"Marching symbolizes movement,"
Manley said. "It shows that time has
NCCN, rather than allow large
numbers of black students to enroll
at UNC. Later, black law students
were also admitted to UNC because
NCCN's law school was not
accredited.
But the push to limit black enroll
ment worked. In 1952, two black
students attended UNC: one law
student and one medical student. In
1953, the number grew to three with
the addition of another law student.
No undergraduates were being admit
ted at this time.
The Supreme Court made a deci
sion in May 1954 ordering states to
desegregate elementary and secon
dary schools. In the midst of the

Manley said it was important to
remember that while King's efforts
had far-reaching effects, his roots
were in his church and in the Chris
tian faith, Manley said.
Rev. Joseph Bethea, superintend
ent of the Raleigh District of the
United Methodist Church, was the
keynote speaker at the memorial
service.
Bethea, who characterized himself
as a country preacher, spoke about
people dedicating themselves to the
dreams that King had.
King lived and died in pursuit of
what he called a "world house and
a beloved community," Bethea said.
In this world house, all people would
live together in peace, but several
problems must be resolved if we are
to survive in the world house.
"We are in this world together; we
must start acting like it," Bethea said.
"This may well be mankind's last
chance to choose between chaos and
community."
The problems of racism, poverty
and war must be overcome if King's
dream is to be achieved, Bethea said.

The UNC Board of Governors
approved a system-wide policy on
illegal drugs Friday which will allow
officials to suspend or expel students
and employees who possess or sell
illegal drugs.
The policy is the first to affect all
16 campuses in the UNC system. It
was finally approved after a BOG
committee reviewed 14 drafts of the
policy over 10 months.
"The campuses of the University
of North Carolina will in no sense
be havens for those who wish to
experiment with illegal drugs," David
Whichard, chairman of the BOG
drug policy committee, said in his
address to the board Friday.
The policy, which concentrates on
education, rehabilitation and enforce
ment of penalties, includes faculty
and staff, as well as students.
Luites enters race
for editor off DTH
By HELEN JONES
Staff Writer
Jean Lutes, a junior journalism
major from Pittsburgh, Pa., has
announced her candidacy for
editor of The Daily Tar Heel.
"I want to work to make the
DTH more informative and more
entertaining for students," Lutes
said in an interview Monday.
The Daily Tar Heel needs to
provide students with more infor
mation about state and national
news, Lutes said.
"I want to make more of -an
effort to gear, state and national
news to students," Lutes said.
"We're the only paper that some
students read."
Lutes said she would also like
to expand coverage of Chapel Hill
and Carrboro, to raise awareness
of local crime with regular crime
reports and to establish a business
page.
She said she wants to have more
concert previews, movie reviews
and area social events in Omnibus
as well. Students she had talked
to seemed interested in more
entertainment features for Omni
bus, Lutes said.
Among the changes she'd like
to make on the editorial page,
Lutes said she wants to bring back
the "week in quotes" column,
which featured notable quotes
from various students and public
officials.
"I want to make the editorial
page fun to read, but I want to
make people think, too," she said.
While the paper is producing
more pages than ever, the number
of staff members is not increasing,
Lutes said. "The Daily Tar Heel
is at a turning point," she said.
As editor, Lutes said she would
recruit writers more heavily and
against the University, and on Sept.
15, 1955, Ralph Frasier, Leroy
Frasier and John Brandon enrolled
as UNC's first black undergraduates.
They did not live on campus.
At no time during the desegrega
tion process did the student body
protest the presence of black students.
In 1952, the Law Association planned
its annual dance off campus in order
to accommodate University rules
against racially mixed social func
tions on campus. The association had
one black member.
Residence hall desegregation did
not occur until 1964. Until then,
See DESEGREGATION page 6
A copy of the basic requirements
of the policy will be sent to each
school in the UNC system, and each
institution will then adopt a policy
that addresses the specific needs of
its campus.
Under the new policy, minimum
penalties for the trafficking and
possession of illegal drugs are deter
mined by the severity of the substan
ces involved, in accordance with the
different classes of drugs outlined in
the N.C. General Statutes.
According to the policy, students
and employees caught trafficking
drugs in Schedules I and II of the
N.C. General Statutes, such as
heroin, opium or cocaine, will be
expelled or discharged.
Anyone found trafficking Schedule
III or IV drugs, such as marijuana
or codeine, will be suspended from

gradually increase the editorial
staff. "We don't have the resources
right now to have in-depth stories
every week," she said.
Her experience and commit
ment to the paper set her apart
from the other candidates, Lutes
said. "Fifty hours a week as
University editor for the past year
has given me a great deal of
experience and insight," she said.
Lutes worked as university
editor from February 1987 until
January 1988, when she resigned
to run for editor in chief. She also
worked as assistant university
editor and assistant managing
editor as a sophomore. In her
freshman year, Lutes was a staff
writer and a layout assistant.
