County to help farmers with their
harvesting, are being fed no more

the camp, located at the site of the
old convict camp just west of Fair

There the group was given a GI
mess, consisting of soup. a pork
chop, mashed potatoes, corn, beets
and bread and butter. They were
then taken to the prisoner kitchen
inside the camp stockade and shown
the four sandwiches that make up
a prisoners lunch. Two of these
sandwiches were made with thin
slices of fried "fatback' about the
size Of half-dollar. The others
were spread with jelly.
No Luxuries.
There are no prisoners living In

Mr.. Granger also believes that
the universal desire for an end to

musician was regarded by other boys
as peculiar, almost sissy, or ef-
Terminate. Now, through the high

Failure of the expected output of
martial music during this war is

out. I'VE are fighting to see that
there never will be more war in the
world. Despite all manner of dii-
ferenceS, even of ideologies, we and
our Allies agree on that point. That
kind OF spirit just doesn't pro-
duce martial MUSIC"
Mr.. Granger urged a greater de-
centralization of performance OF
great works of music in the interest
OF more composing of American
music. He said music lovers, par
ticularly in great cities, are too
likely to pay attention to the work
of composers who frequent great
cities in Europe than their native
composers. He cited the work of
Arthur Fikensher, for many years
director OF music at the University
of Virginia.
HE is, I believe, the greatest
composer in the United States to-
day Mr.. Granger said, and one
of the three or four greatest in the
world. He is 76 years old and a
native of Illinois. Yet he has never
had his major works performed De-
cntra lization would end that situa-
ton"

u. of Nd. Students Ask Voice
In Policies; Byrd Hits Chorqes

President H. c. Byrd of Maryland
University today made public de-
tailed reply to nine charges drafted
by 26 students and 4 instructors al
leging. among other things, that the
institution was undemocraticallya ad-
ministered and that a proposed
Americanization program was being
forced upon the students. His state
ment constituted a denial of virtu-
ally all the allegations.
Meanwhile, 643 of the approx
mately 1900 students at the uni
versity yesterday voted overwhelm-
ingly in favor of increased partici-
patton in administration policies in
referendum on nine proposed
changes in the present regime.
Disputing a statement that the
university was controlled "unilater-
ally" Dr. Byrd pointed out that de-
partment heads and deans were
chosen by the Board of Regents, not
by him and that instructors were Sc
lected by the department heads. But
he vigorously defended the right of
the university to establish its own
curriculum without reference to the
students, adding:
''The statement that the students
do not play part in the formula
ton of educational policy is correct.
If they were competent to do that
they would not need to Come to the
University of Maryland"
Started by Letter.
The present controversy, DR.. Byrd
said, had it's origin in a letter writ
ten to the college newspaper, the
Diamondback, by Daniel Nitzberg, a
student, in which he protested Ger
tain conditions in the university
Afterward the 26 students and 4
faculty members met and drafted
their detailed charges.
Authority is vested in every uni
versity administration and rightly
so" DR.. Byrd said with regard to the
student protest.
"The year probably never will
come when there will not be some
students in every university who will
wish to have things done differently,
but no university could operate on a
basis of allowing each student to do
anything he or she might wish"
He denied a student statement
that the faculty played no part in
formulating educational policy, de-
claring that "the educational policy
in virtually every college is formu-
lated by the faculty of that college" 4"
Explains Dismissals.
With regard to protest on sum-
mary dismissal of students without
reason, DR.. Byrd said that some
times this was done for the protec-
ton Of the student, since the filing
of specific charges might leave a
black mark on his record which
would impede his future career.
Denying faculty censorship Of the
newspaper Diamondback, DR.. Byrd
quoted that at a recent meeting he
held with the 26 protesting students,
1t was admitted that the publication
was not being censored. He said
that the university would continue
