The forced resignation of DR.. Will
liam H. Gray, jr. as president of
Florida A and NJ College is the most
discussed topic in the State today,
but still nobody seems to exactly
know why the young Philadelphia
quit his $7,5O0-a-year job
Whatever the reason, therein lies
a touch of politics and faculty alum
nj factionalism and moral principles,
according to an array of charges
and allegations aimed at Gray.
A great many of Gray's support
ers claim he got the AK because
"subversive" charges grew out of his
appearance before the State un-
American Activities Committee last
May. Gray then strongly opposed
the loyalty oath" pledge that all
teachers would uphold the principle
of segregation.
Then there is the element of
which there is an equally great
number, who feel that Gray got his
just desserts.
The Gray supporters have a diff
ferent list of reasons why the presi-
dent resigned under pressure.
PRO -.
Boiled down, they add up to this:
He made public statements VOic-
ing dissatisfaction with the way col
Ored people were treated i'm Florida.
He opposed the idea of regional
education. This charge was not sup.
ported by the evidence, i'm that it
was known DIR. Gray was favorable
to the prOpOsal)
He had changed the curriculum OF
Florida A. and Nj. College from the
practical to the abstract" (NIeaning
that he had changed the emphasis
from industrial training to work on
the college Ievel)
He had permitted members of his
faculty to belong to and raise funds
for the support of the NAACP.
He had taken no steps to hault
the growing nu mber of suits being
filed by students seeking admission
to the White University of Florida.
That he had encouraged the mix
ing of Florida A and Nj students with
White students of a nearby White
school at a rOadhOuse just off the
Tallahassee campus.
That he had encouraged faculty
members to boycott downtown Tai
Iahassee stores, whose clerks had re.
fused to address them as "Mr. and
Mrs"

NEW AUTO DRIVERS LAW

Under Ohio law automobile drivers licenses will
be good for three years. instead of present. begnn
ing late in 1850 good because it relieves
motorists of the nuisance of getting permits annually at
time specified for ALL and probably getting caught in rush
registrars office Much important it seems to
offer practical way of rdding streets and highways of in
competent and unqualified drivers who to pub
lie safety.
AS in the past drivers will be required to their
permits during the coming September Their permits
will be good until their first birthdays after October 1850
Thereafter drivers will be required to permits only
three years and these will be dated their birth
days. which will spread their issuance the whole
Every community has motor operators who are
physically mentally temperamentay unqualified Many
of these have taken driving tests and others have be-
incompetent from various since they given
examination Their licenses have been renewed year after
without question when they have certified themselves to be
qualified Other motorists and pedestrians have been
dangered by their errac driving applicants pouring
into licensing offices each September it has been possible
least practical to give general tests and weed out these
fncompetents But under the law opportunity offered
Tor such safety promotion On this subject the
Cleveland Plain Dealer suggests:
Because under the Harmony BILL the issuance of per-
mts will take place throughout the calendar year. instead
of being ammed into month, the state highway patrol
should be able undertake effective program of reest
ing drivers who have long held driving licenses purely
their own say-so that they are qualified"

THE POETS CORNER
"SPRING CLEANING"

The house will never look the same
The windows are all bare
I'm tired enough to just sit down
If l could find a chair.
The paper must come off the walls
The woodwork must have paint
To keep good natured in this mess
I'd have to be Saint
The cupboards must be all cleaned out
And dishes must be polished
Each glass must shine and look like new
For all dirt must be abolished.
The curtains must be washed and stretched
All windows shined SO bright
Well have to get the beds made up
If we're going to sleep tonight
We clean the old clothes presses
Wishing clean they will remain
But it will not do much good to wish
Soon they are filled with trash again.
And mealtime has habit
Of returning just the same
Well have some kind of mix up
No one will try to name.
Nothing can stay on schedule
We do the best we can
When the boys sneak off fishing
And we are left without a man.
And oftentimes wonder
If it's worth this fuss and strain @
Do you think we'll have this work all done
Before spring cleaning comes again.
