By what means did Sitterson discover that Marty is still living ?
Sitterson took office in the midst of the controversy surrounding the North Carolina Speaker Ban Law , a state law passed on June 26 , 1963 by the North Carolina General Assembly which forbade individuals who were known to be members of the Communist Party or had invoked the Fifth Amendment in connection with congressional investigations of communist activities from speaking on any of the campuses of the University of North Carolina .
