administration to right a wrong.
The administration is said to
have taken the position that the
matter should come through
channels provides! to hear
grievances and then act. Two
of the channels were listed as
Student-Faculty Advisory Com
mittee and the Universal Plans
and Policy Committee.
The protest had been very
peaceful until a few minutes
before the protestors decided
to leave the entrance to the
president’s office. A campus
visitor decided that he walk
through the demonstrators,
seated or lying in his path.
He was told, by the demonstra
tors that he should not attempt
to continue his forward pro
gress. He continued to move
forward and was hurled against
a wall, which caused him to halt
his forward motion and to not
attempt to go any further.
The trouble is said to stem
from the fact that a referen
dum held last week sawthema
jority over turn a statute pass

of D. ke University that banned
any segregated meeting places
available to the students of the
university, regardless to race
or color. The aggressive

throwing the referendum.
Speaking for the university,
Frank 1.. Ashmore, vice presi
dent for institutional advance
ment said;
"The university cannot and
will not take action under the
threat of an ultimatum. The
matters at issue have lieen un
der discussion for some time
and continue to be under dis
cussion. The channels for giv
ing consideration to these mat
ters by all members of the
university community are
clear, open and well established
Serious efforts were made today
by appropriate officials of the
university and In spokesmen of
the group of students here to
day to agree on a procedure.
Unfortunately, agreement on
these questions of procedure
could not }*> reached.”
Rejection of the previous ul
timatum delivered to President
Knight on Friday by four Negro
student leaders led to Monday’s
protest. On that occasion, the
student leaders demanded that
the administration “immedi
ately announce and explicitly
institute a policy of total pro
hibition of patronization of seg
regated establishments by any
official university organiza
tion.*'
President Knight responded
with a denial that the univer
sity has been guilty of “neglect,
discrimination and bad faith,”
as charged by the Negro st i
dents and said “there is abun
dant evidence to the contrary.”

apparently used a chisel to pry
the lock of the second door
open and when they had pryed the
second door far enough, they
tore the facing from the frame
to gain entrance into the store
proper.
They took time to take a set
of scales off the safe, which was
in back of one of the check
out counters and placed it cm the
floor. They then proceded to
attempt to roll the safe out, but
there was a bad roller on it
and they, according to marks on
the floor, rolled and dragged the
safe to the back door.
Persons, who inspected the
scene, felt that there had to be
some professionals in on the
job, due to the way the outside
door lock was maneuvered. It.
was reported that nothing else,
in the store, was bothered or
missing.

Lord giveth and the Lordtaketh

Newsmen told the CAROLINIAN
that they had never seen such
a display of faith in all their
lives. They described the World
War I veteran as one who be
lieved that fire and pestilence
could not shake his belief in
God.
The fire victim related to
them how he awoke in a haze
of smoke and realizing that fire
had enveloped the old frame
house, tried desperately to res
cue his 65 yr.-old sister, whom
he called Ett. He related a
tear-jerking story as how he
knew that Ett was stricken with
arthritis and how he knew it
took her a long time to get
up. He said she answered, but
he could not open the door, due
to his feebleness.
He opined that Ett must have
locked the door. He then relat
ed how he was about to be o
vercomed with the smoke and
how the flames were coming
down upon him. It was then that
he picked up one suit, a pair of
boots and groped his way to the
door, His heart was heavy', in
that he felt that Ett would per
ish in the flames. He made
his way out and pulled the
metal chair out of reach of the
fire and it was there that he

sat, while relating the inferno
story to newsmen. He wryly
shook his head.
He related how he had been
the victim of another fire and
how his mother died shortly af
ter that fire. He told how he
felt the fire got started. He
pointed to an old chimney and
showed where an elbow went in
to the chimney. It was his
opinion that the house had been
used to store many things that
were fodder to the fire, in a
closet, just under the place
wheys the elbow went into the
chimney. He chanced that
sparks from the _elbow fell
in the closet and set off the
fatal fire.
Mr. Perry picked up new cou
rage and a new glimpse of
hope, when interested persons
came with cheering words and
gifts. He remembered that he
and his sister bought groceries,
out of the pension funds he re
ceives and the pittance that Ett
got, just a few days ago and
that they had been destroyed.
When asked what he would do
he said that he would spend
some time with a neice in Wake
Forest, but hopes to return to
the area and occupy another
house. He vowed to return to
the vicinity that he had called
home and cherish the fond mem
ories and ponder the misfor
tunes, ever remembering that
“The Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away.”

will remain in desegregated
public schools in the South.
In desegregation “one sees
some frightening trends.” This
is true for the problem of de
segregating the public schools
and dismissing *he Negro teach
er has been reduced, almost
stopped, but now the Negro ad
ministrator is adversely affect
ed.
“The predominately dual as
sociation (Negro) will have to
take every action possible to
prevent the problem.”
If “necessary” the Negro
teachers associations will have
to resort to courts to find a
solution to the problem.
“North Carolina cannot close
out its operations before 1969
by merging until something is
done about this problem.”
Society has come to a point
where it has neglected its
schools.
“It is a sad thing for teachers
to have to strike for what is
rightfully theirs.”
“But strikes, sanctions or ne
gotiations, w’hich ever must be
used, we will use them to make
the profession worth our be
ing in it.”
The teacher is placed at the
bottom of the social structure.
A teacher makes a national
average salary of “$3,000” an
nually while bus drivers earn
“$6,000.”
“Remember my friends, the
black man is on the rise for
equality around the world.”
“Don’t get left behind. You
do not have to cease being a
Negro to be a man.”

Banks has not let any grass
grow under his feet, when it
comes to militancy. He is a
graduate of Shaw University
and has been In the forefront
of reforms in Thomasville and
in the state. Forecasters are
not too sure what will happen.
It has long since been known
that there were quite a few who
were dissatisfied with Alexan
der's methods. He was accus
ed of being noncooperative with
other organizations and with
failure to lend his aid to con
structive programs, that were
not initiated by him. He is also
accused of making demands that
were unreasonable, like forcing
the burial of Negroes in ceme
teries, designated for white
people.
Rev. B. B. Felder, Dunn, is
said to be eyeing the job held
by Charles McLean, as field
director for the state. It is
believed that Banks and Felder
are running on a 7-point pro-
gram that is proposed to get
North Carolina moving in the
right direction, or, many is
sues. Attorn y Earl Whitted,
Goldsboro, Is said to be Banks’
campaign manager.
WILLIAMS
(Coatt*o»4 from Pm* On«)
who prepares himself only for
life in a segregated society is
depriving himself of whatever
opportunity there may lie for a
share in a larger future. More
than ever before, the Negro
youth has the opportunity and
the responsibility to establish
his goals in education, econo
mics, and politics at new break
through levels.”
"The call for separatism
strikes a responsive chord in
an undetermined number ofNe
groes,” Williams said, “parti
cularly the Negro youth. Clear
ly the slogans for separatism
hold an appeal, too, for the mid
dle class Negro who has seen
his high hopes crumpled against
the brick walls of racial pre
judice.”
"Sociologists tell us what
we already suspect isthetruth
that the new desire for separa
tism grows out of despair,”
Williams said.
He quoted an estimate by the
Presidents Council of Econo
mic Advisors that racial dis
crimination costs the country
S2O billion a year. “We are
talking about the Nation’s old
est treasure hunt the search
of a people for equality of op
portunity -- educationally, poli
tically, economically.”
The conference, attended by
high school teachers and stu
dents from across the state,
heard Williams cite the a
chievements, of Carl Stokes,
newly-elected mayor of Cleve
land, and Senator Edward
Brooks as evidence that Ne
groes can achieve prominence
in areas where they are a
minority.
“To make the most of new
opportunities,” Williams said,
“the Negro must think of him
self as a contributing part of
the society in which he lives,
not as a man apart. To join
the voices that are raised for
separation of the races is to
yield too easily, to surrender
too abjectly tc the forces of op
pression that have bound the
Negro into his separate and un
equal place for centuries.”
