BISHOP RANSOM, DR.. WESLEY
OPPOSE EACH OTHER ON
WHEREFORE SENATE BILL

WILBERFORCE, O., June 49,
(ANP)-Bishop Reverdy c. Ran
som, a member of the AME church S
university board of trustees, and
DR.. Charles Wesley, find themselves
in opposite camps on the Wilber-
force bill, senate bill 293, recently
introduced by Sen. Theodore M.
Gray.
The bill, designed to enlarge the
powers of the state board of trus-
tees of Wilberforce, giving them
power to elect and fix the compensa-
tion of the president, as we'll as to
add desired courses and give de-
grees, has precipitated a clash be-
tween the church board of trustees
and the state appointed board of
trustees.
According to the contents of the
Gray bill, the university will be i'm
proved to meet the postwar needs
of returning veterans, as it has been
one of the nations accredited
schools selected by the United
States government to accept war
veterans under the CT bill of rights.
Bishop Ransom, member of the
AME church's university board of
trustees, denied that the Wilber-
force presidency is political foot
ball." He said that the North Cen
trail associations report that the
university had promised to put three
members on the state board and vice
versa is untrue and cannot be
found in the records of the two
boards"
DR.. Wesley revealed that Bishop
Ransom has charged him with col
laborating in the introduction Of the
Gray bill, introduced in the state
senate by Sen. Theodore NJ. Gray,
which places in law the situation
which was placed in fact in 1912"
Il will have no part in either the
presentation, the advocacy or the
defeat of the bill, but as president
and citizen, l have an opinion upon
the 10 years of contrasting expert
ence," DR.. Wesley said. "Instead of
the university being made politi-
cal football by this bill, it prevents
