the other largely OF friends Of President

meetings. Miss Amelia Hickenlooper, the
daughter Of Gen. 4. Hickenlooper. was
chairman of the -anti-Ayers meeting. The
purpose was to pass resolutions of sympa-
thy with Prof. Meyers in his resignation
and structures on President Ayers. When
the resolution was proposed it was follow
cd by motion TO adjourn which VAS lost
by closc vote.
During the demonstrations faculty
meeting was held in President Ayers

the rUurt of appeals TO the higher courts
Of the country only Gu the certifcation of
the court itself.

clear and explicit. and will only need a
proper court 70 define them.
