RECORD As
STATE TRUSTEE IS
SCORED BY
CITIZENS

The manner in which hundred. OF
young citizens Of the state are be-
Ing robbed by u vicious disregard of
the laws OF the state relative to the
matter OF tuition at the state Teach
crs' College. has resulted in state
wide protest against the reappoint-
ment by Governor Anmons OF W. p.
Dunlavy, OF Trinidad. and l.. w.
Markham, of Lamar. As a trustee
OF the board Mr. Dunlayy is charged
with having sanctioned one OF the
most atrocious steals that has ever
come to the attention o: the public.
Hundreds OF ambitious young men
and women OF moderate means. who
have to pinch pennies to obtain the
benefits OF an education and equip
themselves for teaching. have been
compelled by threats of loss o: credit
or dismissal from the school to pay
$45 Il year tuition to the school when
the law strictly provides that tuition

with being responsible for this con-
dition.
In the Monday edition of the C-N

and which petition was signed by
citizens OF all parts of the state call
ing the Governors attention to the
"incOmpetcnCy' and high-handed
practices" OF MIR. Dunlavy and his
associate on the board. The petit
tion sets forth that Mr.. Dunlavy has
not only sanctioned Illegally the TAX
ing of funds and diverting them to
other purposes in violation of the
statute governing the conduct of the
institution. but has sanctioned an in
crease in the fees so that II Is now
