Plan Explored

A group of elected officials In
nearby Virginia is exploring the
possibility of establishing a two
year junior college without q
commitment from the Uniyer-
sity of Virginia.
The plan would not prevent
the university or any other Vir-
Iginia college from stepping in at
a later date and operating the
institution. it was explained.
Harrison Mann, Arlington
delegate to the Virginia General
Assembly. said the move is. un-
der study by an unofficial COM
Imittee of the Advisory Council
OF the Northern Virginia Center
Iof the University of Virginia.
Enabling Legislation
He said the two-year college
could be created under enabling
legislation approved by the State
legislature earlier this year.
Action now. he said, would
avert loss Of time If the Univer-
sity Of Virginia's Board Of Visi-
tors decides in March that 1t will
sponsor the Northern Virginia
Center.
If the board does not enter
into the local operation, and no
other Virginia college steps forth.
the two-year college could be
operated under the authority az
IA regional facility.
Dispute Delays Action
The Board of Visitors post
poned action on the Northern
Virginia Center last month when
a dispute arose over location Of
the proposed branch. Heavy sup
port for placing the center on
the Ravensworth Tract near
Springfield ran counter TO a
recommendation from a COM
'mittee of the board that the
Bowman Tract near Herndon be
used.
Participating in the EXPLORE
tory meeting we're. besides Mr..
Mann, State Senator John A. X.
Donovan Of Fairfax and repre-
sentatives OF the Advisory Coun-
Gil who are elected members of
the government bodies Of Alex
andria, Arlington, Fairfax and

memorate establishment Of the
first permanent English colony
in America-13 years before the
Pilgrims disembarked from the
Mayfiower at Plymouth Rock
on May 10. 1907.
That was the date that Capt
John Smith, the military leader
and Capt. Christopher Newport
the fleet commander, sailed three
tiny ships through Hampton
Roads, past the mouth of the bay
known to the Indians as Ches-
siopiock, and up the James River
to land a party of stout-hearteo
pioneers on jamestown Island.
This was the first permanent
colony. Twenty-three years ear
lier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent
an expedition to establish a col
ony in the New World. After
landing in 1884, the expedition
returned to England. Then los
colonistS landed at Roanoke Is
land, N. c.. on July 81, 1885.
But. as every schoolboy knows
when the British feet returned
two years later, all that re-
manned of THE Lost Colony
were the bones of one man and
the ruins Of the fort.
jamestown Island is being left
undisturbed by new construction
for the festival. The island, with
its ruins and restored buildings,
maintained by the Association
for the Preservation Of Virginia
Antiquities. will remain a place
to inspire meditation.

birth Of this nation-Jamestown.
Williamsburg and Yorktown
