yesterday disloyalty among the

ton, but unfair publicity about

Discussing security, Mr..
Quarles said:
1--WE all recognize that there
are problems in this area. ScieA-
fists and engineers working on
military-related research and
development have to be screened

This is elementary from what we

plicable to our scientists, since
they possess knowledge Of our

Yells and Cheers.
After the reading of the petit
tion-between yells and cheers
students started coming down
from the stands to make their
own statements over the public
address system. These state
ments were met with either
cheers or boos.
AS the meeting appeared to be
getting out of hand, Mr.. Cooper
told the students he would see
to it they had a nearing before
local authorities. About then,
students began to leave the
stands and mill about the foot
ball field. The school band be-
gan to play the school song and
the students joined in-singing
it through several times for the
benefit of newsreel cameras and
effectively drowning out any one
attempting to talk.
Principal Eugene Griffith ap-
peared at that point, the band
was finally quelled and Mr.. Grit
fifth called for quiet.
IF you won't listen to me-
he said. there's no point in
being here. I want to talk to

II want all others to go to

Thank you very much," said Mr..
Griffith and he walked back into
the school.
Robert Dean, II, chairman of
the student group which had
arranged the meeting, asked the
students to 60 into the audi
torium. They didn't do it. The
meeting ended with students
arguing among themselves and
leaving the stadium-but not to
return to classes.
A student committee then met
with Mr.. Griffith and DR.. Mel
son in the principals Office. They
then returned to the stadium
where less than 100 students
were still on hand. The student
leaders with Mr.. Griffith and DR.
Nelson listening, told the re-
manning audience that Mr.. Grif-
fifth had told them if the strike
is not resolved soon, those under
16 would be forced to 60 to
school and those over 16 would
be expelled. .
Mr.. Griffith later told a re-
porter that 1t was DR.. Nelson
who had given the students this
word.
Later, a Franklin School
spokesman said that DR.. Nelson
