Some odd 2000 persons, mostly curious onlookers, gather- ed just outside this town on the New Bern highway Saturday night. . .watched the Klan go through a list of speakers and burn their traditional cross. Cries of white supremacy rang out above the murmur of the crowd. Well, there’s constantly something different and usually exciting going on about East Carolina. But this was entertain- ment at its best Yes, the Klan moved in. . .did their little song and dance (literally). . .and left. What did they leave? There was a small pile of ashes. They had burned their traditional cross. There was literature passed about. . .certain- ly one of the biggest wastes of ink and paper in the history of man. And there were the words, spoken by “The Grand Dragon of North Carolina and Other Good Speakers.” It isn’t believed that they disturbed Cicero’s oratory reputation to any great ex- tent. . .but if attempted agitation is any measure, they cer- tainly tried. In “The Fiery Cross,” the official publication of the KKK, a picture of a Negro boy and an elderly lady was run. This picture was four columns wide and about ten inches deep. The two pictured were doing some type of dance. . not the “Bird” or “Jerk” but a dance of tradition. The caption under this picture said: “Us now got Civil Rights, us also sittin’ on de stool wich ye. Us eatin’ up town wich ye. Us got mos’ de politichuns. From the feels I has in my arms now, yo husband bettar looks out.” And so the KKK story goes. The group put particular emphasis upon intermarriage of the races. What the caption had to do with the picture. . .only the individual viewer may decide. The only purpose that the Klan might use as an excuse to meet and agitate is typified by this picture. The Klan is of value in only two possible ways. To fall to the absurd right. . .the radical idiot extreme. . .in an effort to pull the left, which is now in the more advantageous posi- tion, toward the middle of the road, and to give ignorant and deprived, poor whites, who stand at the bottom of the socio- economic ladder a chance to “belong” and to maintain their white supremacy myth. If this is so. . .they have and will continue to fail miser- ably. The only move that such a meeting could possibly get out of the left now, is even toward a more extreme left! The Klan says. . .look at me, I know the way. the righteous.” They have forgotten (or never knew) that the man that calls himself the righteous is the man to beware of in any situation. . . “we are Oh, and by the way. . .East Carolina was mentiond in dur- ing the Klan’s little get-together. East Carolina was called a traditionally Conservative school. . .but now it was stated that We are integrated, which in anyone’s mind. . -automatically — that the school has dropped into the ultra-conservative column. The righteous Knights of the Klan pointed to individuals on the campus. The individuals. . .cur Negro cohorts were pub- licly called names that would instantly get anyone thrown into the callaboose. But these hooded agitators got away with slander and outright indecency. It is easy to understand why President Johnson has asked for legal action against this group. There is one more point to be made. We hear so much about the civil rights demonstrations being in direct defiance to the United States Constitution and to the individual liber- ties.

He does not fear so much that his comments will not get into print or that he will be censored. Instead he quakes at his typewriter in fear that his exposes, comments, and in- terpretations might upset the apple- cart ‘and be called examples of irre- sponsible journalism. He lives with the certainty that writing about something that some- one doesn’t want anything written about is a sure way to be called irresponsible. Thus, no matter how intelligent, unintelligent, foolish, or brave or how strong the editor’s daily ,weekly, or biweekly desire is to make the world a bit better, he first feels he must mold his acts to fit within a mature, responsible framework. The trend is for university officials or other sources to bring the editor in for a confiding talk. All is off the record. But the rationale is that it is better to know the whole situa- tion so that it can be handled ma- turely, ‘and responsibly, i.e., not printing anything that will tarnish the institution’s image. A similar situation applies to public agencies and officials. College journalists must recog- nize that they are being subtley cen- sored or falling into the trap of news management. For until they realize this, nothing can be done ‘about it. After spending a week observing and talking with some of the nation’s best and worst college editors, it is obvious that most are ignorant of the seriousness of such situations. Few realize that until an editor has the freedom to be irresponsible, he does not have the freedom to be responsible.

District Science Fair Views 202 Creations The festivities for Old South, the KA’s annual ball, will begin Wed- nesday afternoon, March 30 at four o'clock on the mall. Invitations will be presented to the dates of the brothers and pledges who are at- tending the annual ball at Morehead City. Those brothers and pledges participating will march in Con- federate uniforms around the mall preceded by the No.’s 1, 2, and 3 who will be on horseback. Several KA’s were elected to of- fices in the S.G.A. elections. Steve Sniteman was elected S.G.A. vice- president while Ben Webb was elected Junior Class President. Jerry Medford ‘and Steve Bartley were elected Junior and Sophomore repre- sentatives, respectively. east carolinian—tuesday, march 30, 1965—3 Fear Of Irresponsibility Hangs Over College Editor His choices are being made for him. He is getting the information about a situation, but the decision on how it shou'c be used and what should be included is iivt in his hands. Instead he knows full well what he can and cannot use. He has ‘been intiniidated by the friendliness, and the heart-to-heart talk of the administrator. He loves the institu- tion and realizes that its best in- terests must be served at all costs. And, of course, real courage is in not printing the story rather than : Printing it. No person is free when the outline is already before him of what to do or not to do. A person must be able to make his own choices based on his own knowledge. Ths characteristic of college news- paper editors is merely a reflection of what occurs in the professional press. In 1962, Vermont Royster, Wall Street Journial editor, wrote an article for Quill magazine in which he expounded on the new breed of editors. He pointed out that today’s readers demand something differ- Fourty-four of 202 Northeastern District Science Fair exhibits won recognition at East Carolina Friday for their junior ‘and senior high school age creators. The 44 top exhibitors including 10 in the senior division who earned a spot in the State Science Fair at Chapel Hill next month, represent junior and senior high schools in 15 astern North Carolina com- munities. A panel of 12 judges agreed the IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Da 8 2.8-6.2.0-9-0.0.0.0.0.0.0.6.8.0.6.8.4 IN THE EAST CAROLINIAN ent in a different world. The jour- nalism of Bennett, Pulitzer, and Hearst would be a commerci..! flop today. We agree. The wowee, whoop ’em up sensationalism would not fit with the gravity and complexity of today’s news. But such thinking is often what keeps stories which would be unpopular or unpleasant out of the paper, also. ‘All to often today’s editor is so aware of his responsibility, so con- scious of the fact that he ‘might be wrong’. . .that he either softens his opinions or pulls the punch in the words in which he expresses them. The modern breed of editors is fright- ened by nothing so much as the fear that he may be called irresponsible,”’ Royster wrote. The same is becoming increasingly true of today’s college editors. And until the student editor shakes off his intimidation by upper officials and overcomes his fear of irrespon- sibility he will be no more than a Parrot in ‘a cage and the college press mere house organs KA’s Celebrate ‘Old South’ overall caliber of the exhibits was exceptional. Dr. Donald E. Bailey and Dr. Talmage E. Lundy, EC science faculty members and diree- tors of the district fair, said they were well-pleased with the quality and quantity of the exhibits. Awards and recognition were given in the biological and physical science divisions of both age groups. Ten winners and 14 honorable mention exhibits were cited in the upper groups.
