Florida Restaurants Do Not Have to Serve Negro Patrons
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — (UPI) — Florida State Atty. Gen. Richard Erwin ruled yesterday that white restaurant owners do not have to serve Negro patrons.
If a customer refuses to leave, the owner can have him thrown off the premises. Ervin added.
The ruling, asked by State Atty. Richard Gerstein of Miami, apparently was prompted by several recent attempts by Negroes to be served in downtown Miami lunch counters. The most recent attempt Monday ended in a fist fight between a white patron and a Negro and a white who said they were members of the committee of racial equality.
Edward J. Zeller, associate professor of geology, will leave for Antarctica Nov. 20 on a six week's research expedition.
Earnest E. Angino, Lawrence graduate student, will accompany Prof. Zeller as his assistant.
Zeller to Go To Antarctica
Sponsored by the National Science Foundation and KU, the trip is aimed at uncovering new facts about Anarctica. Prof. Zeller's work will consist of collecting rock samples and returning them to KU for survey.
Coal deposits found in Anarctica prove that at some time Little America had a climate similar to North America's. Some scientists believe the climate change occurred in comparatively recent times.
"Certain luminescent characteristics of rock samples found there may tell us how long Antarctica has been cold," Prof. Zeller said.
Rocks which have been exposed to low temperatures for various lengths of time exhibit certain wavelengths of light indicative of their time of exposure. Machines at KU can measure these wavelengths.
"Actually, though, anything we discover will add to our knowledge of the world's weather," he said.
This will be Prof. Zeller's second trip to Antarctica.
Much of his work will be done around McMurdo Sound, where the average temperature is minus four degrees Fahrenheit.

Ervin quoted a North Carolina Supreme Court decision which ruled that the right of an operator of a private business to select his customers and to make the selection on the "basis of color" has been recognized by the nation's appellate courts.
