PROFILES OF GREAT AMERICANS Mary Molaod BrtbuM was chosen to attend a Presbyterian seminary in North Carolina. Becauae aha was a diligent student, the principal and hia wife assisted her id getting a second tuition acholar ehip—this time to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. After teaching at various schools in the South, Mrs. Bethune opened a small school in a poor section of Daytona Beach, Fla. Five little girls were her first, students. Poor neighbors shared their limited funds with the struggling school. b 1906, with a down pay ment of $5.00; die started building what was to be* come Faith. Hall. Mrs. Bethune cultivated the support of the city’s wealthier winter residents. Within two years after its opening, the school, which later merged with the Cookman Institute, had 260 students. At its 60th anniversary it was a fully Holder of 11 honorary degrees, Mrs. Bethune Was an adviser to President, Roosevelt on be affairs or Negroes and other mi* nority groups.

The publication of the article was in a sense, a heartening sign: It disclosed the newspaper’s un easiness that the state legisla ture may indeed ibe preparing to enact some additional laws to provide stem punishment for campus agitators and militants, and particularly for the violent element which takes over public buildings and engages in vio lence and destruction. The legislature will make a serious mistake if it does not en act such laws. It would be the course of wisdom for Governor Scott to announce that if such safeguards are not enacted at this session, he may later call the legislature back into special session. For if things continue in their present state of foment, the Governor and all law en forcement agencies — including the courts — are going to need aH of the statutory backing they can get in putting down dtoor DON'T SACRIFICE LIVES WITH WORN-SUCK TIRES .ALL SIZESI COMPLETE SELECTION!

But the courts have discovered that ex isting law is inadequate to deal effectively with agitators and militants. Thus, unless and un til additional statutory safe guards are supplied, this state will remain a sitting duck for those who would disrupt and de stroy. The News and Observer aim ed scolding ridicule at legisla tors who have introduced meas ures intended to, provide protec tion for state property, and for the majority of students who are not involved in the campus de monstrations. The paper por trayed the legislators as publici ty - seekers and political hacks. Anonymous spokesmen were quoted' by the newspaper in criticism of the proposed legis lation. The newspaper .probably couldn’t produce these “anony mous” spokesmen if it had to. It would be a safe bet' that no member of the legislature has told any reporter — for The New* and Observer or any otter news medium — any such thing. Yet the paper quoted for exam ple, an unidentified “influential Democratic veteran in the Sen ate” as saying that it is the “re actionary backs” in the legisla ture who are introducing the bills concerning campus vio lence. The paper quoted anoth er imaginary — or, certainly, unidentified — legislator as “foreseeing” the possibility that this state may lose “some of its better professors and adminis trators, and maybe its accredi tation.” One must marvel at such so phomoric journalism. The great probability, as we say, is that these unidentified “legislators” don’t exist except in the wishful thinking of the reporter who wrote the vicious implications contained in the newspaper piece. But in the remote possi bility that such legislators do exist, and did indeed make such cowardly comments to a report er, one is constrained to pond er such gutless wonders. If they hold, such feels, why do they lack the courage to stand: up in the House or the Senate and call their colleagues, to their faces, the epithets which were quoted anonymously ih the newspaper? The people of this state were ridiculed by The News end Ob server for being “sick and tired” of campus rebellion and destruc tion. They were ridiculed for admiring legislators who want to put an end to.it The people are “sick and tiredT’ of a num ber of other things, as well, newspapers and television and radio networks which glorify and justify, and thus encourage, vio lence and revolution throughout the country. The legislature of North Caro lina should not go,home without making certain that there are sufficient laws on the books to provide stern punishment and effective restraints Upon those in our state, or who come to our state, to disrupt anddestroy.
