I used to experience a fine glow of relief on Thursday when the paper went to press and a weekend of fre«-| dom beckoned. Now all days are alike. Aa one paper hits the press the linotype op erator begins yelling for copy for the next. There's never any letup and after going at this dead run all summer I’m thankful to be taking off on a delayed vaca tion. It would be delayed fur ther but for the unselfish ness of Charles Dunn of Ahoskie, a University stu dent who has been with the Weekly two years and is now leaving us. After twenty four months of school work and newspaper work without a break, Charles was plan ning a trip to Florida be tween his resignation fromj the Weekly and the opening of the University. But he gave it all up to help out here while the rest of us had vacations. Chuck Hauser last month and Oliver Wat kins and I now in the first week of September. This is typical of Charles, whose middle name is loyal ty. He has been my right arm ever since the day he walked in here «a stranger and Mr. Graves ~hired him five minutes later over the telephone, on my recommen dation, without even seeing | him. It was a hiring nobody here has ever regretted. He i has never hesitated to work 1 all day and most of the night and all day Saturday and Sunday when it was necea i aary. Ever dependable, ever I ready for the dirty work and disagreeable task nobody else wants to do, he has 1 made my job less of a bur- den and as near a pleasure as ! it could be. I hate to see him (Contkued on pngo 2) Federal Court to Hear UNC Suit A three-judge federal court will convene at Greensboro Sat urday to decide whether Negroes are entitled to enter the Univer sity’s undergraduate schools. it will be the first trial in fed eral court here involving segre i gut ion since the Supreme Court's May 31 order calling for “a “prompt and reasonable start” toward desegregation.
