CHAPEL HILL NEWS LEADER
THURSDAY
Paper Wants Gray
To Return Or
Quit
The News and Observer, influ
ential Raleigh newspaper, yester
day called upon Consolidated Uni
versity President Gordon Gray to
“return promptly or resign
promptly.”
The newspaper, in its lead edi
torial, said;
. . at a time of almost un
equalled crisis in education in
North Carolina the state is denied
the active and ^articulate leader
ship of a president of its greatest
educational institution.”
The editorial concerned the
■ situation of the Consolidated Uni
versity, the president of which is
now on leave of absence serving
as • Assistant Defense Secretary.
“President Gray should return
promptly or resign promptly,”
said The News and Observer.
“There should be no need for
the executive committee of the
trustees of the Consolidated Uni
versity to put on the agenda for
its November meeting a review of
the status of President Gordon
Gray,” according to the editorial.
“Mr. Gray has been gone since
June. The University has had no
leader with the full postion and
i prestige of president since that
time. Neither Mr. Gray n«r the
executive co-mmittee should re
quire more time to ‘review’ such
a situation.
“Gordon Gray should choose by
his return or his replacement
North Carolina should have an ac
tive head of its greatest educa
tional endeavor v/hen it needs it
most,” concluded the newspaper.
Panty Raid
The first panty raid of the
1955-56 year took place last
night, as a group of boy; gath
ered at 12:15 a.m. in the Lower
Quad, making noise highlighted
by the playing of a trumpet.
The group gathered in size and
went to the court in front of
Mclver Dorm where it stayed
five minutes. Then it went to
Carr Dorm in a group of about
400 and remained there for 15
minutes. The raid ended up on
the intersection of Cameron
Ave., and Raleigh Rd., where
the students began to disperse,
partly due to police coercion at
Carr, and to the need of sleep.
No arrests were made.
