Somewhat similar quirks were

Police said it was on such a

Something about his demeanor
led to his receiving special at

taken to FBI Offices in New York

He finally admitted, police
claimed, that he had taken the

District in the Washington Hotel.
Financial Crisis in Schools
mo one has to tell us that
the greatest crisis in American
education today is how we will
be able to finance the many pro-
grams of our high schools during
the days of enormous expansion
that lie Just ahead of us" Mr..
Spencer declared.
1.-The shocking point about it
in these days of high prosperity
is that it should be a serious
problem at all. There is some
thing wrong when the people of
the country spend more money
on liquor, entertainment and
cosmetics than they spend on
education.
1--WE know that these penny
wise educational policies may

makes our way of life possible. :"
Cites Poor Reading
DR.. Paul Witty. professor Of
education at Northwestern Uni
versity, declared:
I'VE know this need exists be-
cause there is a high frequency
of poor reading among todays
elementary school graduates,
and among high school pupils of
all levels.
There is no doubt that great
improvement both in reading
and comprehension may be
achieved by the students. The
results Of such efforts will help
pupils improve their study ha-
bits and their grades, and will
lead to a greater enjoyment of
reading. In addition, better
reading will help students pre-
pare more adequately for vo-
cations"

The Idaho Power Company has

first obtaining license from the

Brownlee Dam is one of three in the
controversial Hells Canyon substitute

that the complaint be dismissed. Max
imum penalty under the charge is

DISMISSAL CLEAR VIOLATION
OF PRINCIPLES

DR.. Trips dismissal says the
AAUP report, "involves a clear viola
ton, by the administration of Rocky
Mountain College, of the principle of
adequate notice in the termination of
a probationary appointment, and
adds, "The situation is aggravated
by the manifest ignorance or indif-
ference of certain dominant board
members concerning some of the ele-
mentary conditions of effective aca-
demic service, and by the uncertain,
shifting, Intellectual positions taken
by the president in his efforts to
placate these board members, to re-
assure Professor Trip before the
board acted and to console him after
wards, and in retrospect, to justify
his own part in the dismissal" The
statement continues, "Merely on these
counts the situation is serious, but
an inquiry into the reason for the
boards action reveals still another

At hearings before the high tri-
