To Seek College Peace

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Sept
IL tR.-A committee Of faculty
student and administration rep.
resentatives will try to iron out
campus unrest at the College OF
William and Mary.
This advice emerged from q
closed meeting Of the college
board Of visitors with an alumni
group Saturday at which 1t was
reported the board decided II
would be unwise to indorse the
idea of a formal investigation OF
college affairs until the college
family itself had an opportunity
to settle things.
Two member of the House OF
Delegates who had asked the in
quiry disagreed yesterday as to
the result Of the meeting.
Charles w. Cleaton of South
Hill said he believes the board
and the administration will be
able to solve differences at the
college. But Frank P. Moncure
Of Stafford reiterated his earlier
demands for an investigation
and said ''nobody's going to be
satisfied until It's DONE"
Full and Free Discussion
"The alumni present partici-
|pated In q full and free discus
sion of the affairs of the COL
lege," said Board Rector James
M. Robertson of Norfolk, at the
conclusion of the meeting.
Many helpful suggestions were
made. We believe that the COL
lege can look to the future with
confidence"
Later it was learned Mr.. Rob-
ertson had told the alumni the
board thought an investigation
such as that proposed by the
Legislators who are w. g. M.
alumni-Moncure and Cleaton-
should not be given board in
dorsement until a school COM

1T is absolutely ridiculous to

Mr.. Ross said that, after vain

the matter, his two children
made an unsuccessful "stab" at
removing the posters from the
