John Faraday, he arranged the

not being associated with the

The shootings were widely con-
demned and bitterly denounced in
this country and abroad. Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrea Vishinsky
seized upon the incident as sub
ject matter for a scathing attack
on America at the United Nations
General Assembly meeting in Paris.
In response to demands from the
NAACP, the Department of JUS

to determine whether or not there
was violation of federal civil rights
statutes and whether or not Sheriff
Mccall is guilty of contempt of
the U. S. Supreme Court.

Items SO" and "a" constitute
the most significant achievements
that have taken place at the college
in many years. Inadequate heating
in both the main buildings and in
faculty cottages has been a deter
ring element for morale for stu
dents and teachers alike; mainten-
ance cost has been tripled because
of the hardness of water; and the
fuel cost has been three to four
times as high as it should be. When
these facilities are installed, the
savings effected by them will do
much to provide instruction with
the necessary teaching equipment
now so badly needed.
