A hearing on a proposed dog
control ordinance for Mont
gomery County will be held in
the Richard Montgomery High
School gymnasium in Rockville
at 8 pm. Friday instead of in

Forbidden Deputy

RICHMOND. Feb. Is (AP).-
Attorney General A. S. Harrison
jr. ruled yesterday that q
deputy sheriff may not hold the
office Of justice Of the peace
while he also is deputy sheriff.
In an opinion issued in re-
Spouse to a query from Com

officially forbids a sheriff to hold
any other public office, whether
elective or appointive.

Indignation, Senator Boothe
said, has been pushed by Presi-
dent Eisenhower. particularly
in the District. Mr.. Beverley.
he added, 'is the man who
formed a Democrats-for- Eisen-
hover group in 1856"
Right-to- Work Issue
The candidates also clashed
on the States right-to-work
law. Raising this issue, Mr..
Beverley accused Senator
Boothe, of "straddling the
fence" and running around
the BUSH"
IT will see that the law is
never repealed" the former
Mayor said.
Senator Boothe said the
right-to-work law Is not an
issue in the campaign.
There is no proposal to re-
peal it, he said. He told the
gathering he supports the law
but would like it to include a
freedom of contract cause"
permitting employers to sign
contracts with bona fide repre-
sentatives of bargaining en-
ployes.

WoodIey Hills
Pupils Receive
Hepotitis Shots

Cana globulin injections
were being given today to
about 600 children at Woodley
Hills Elementary School in
Fairfax County to fight an out
break of infectious hepatitis.
DR.. Harold Kennedy, county

were being given as "a routine
precautionary measure" He
said about $50 of the students
received shots last month.
The hepatitis infection is

ton at the Virginia Lodge,
1906 Richmond highway.
They clashed over school In
tegration. The squaring-eff
speeches for the July IA pri-
mary made it plain that deseg-
regation will be the overriding
issue between Senator Boothe.
50, in the thick of State politics
since the '40s, and Mr.. Beverley,
~, Mayor of Alexandria from
1852 through 1854.
A segregationiSt. Mr.. Beverley
labeled Senator Boothe an Gin
tegrationist and a fence strad-
dler" who everyone knows is
supported by liberals"
Denying the integrationist
tag. the Senator accused Mr..
Beverley of fabrication. He
told the contractors 9Th e
records shows that years ago /
described the possibility Of
indignation as the keynote to
tragedy"
Challenged on the point by
the former Mayor, who pointed
out that the move was prior to
the Supreme Court decision.
Senator Boothe said his call in
1850 for establishing a State
committee on race relations was
an effort on his part to fore
stall indignation for years to
come by preparing and activat-
Ing a plan which the courts
could accept"
Urges Commitment"
"Only with an acceptable
plan can indignation be con-
tanned" the Senator said. He
told the gathering a pupil as
signment plan recently ap-
proved by Federal judges is the
best possible containment pro-
gram" Otherwise, he said,
there would be no control at
all.
"Are these the ideas Of an
integrationist?" he asked.
Mr.. Beverley said the plan
means "the gates are open"
He told the contractors that
IF the NAACP wants to pass
the word to its friends in Alex
andria the assignment sys-
TEN now in effect will not mean
q thing"
Senator Boothe argued that
the courts have not assigned
Negro students to white schools
when they live closer to Negro
schools.
Only about 100 Negro pupils
out of 1000 in Alexandria live
nearer to white schools than
they do to their own, he added
The Senator labeled as
'fcruel" Mr.. Beverley's telling

University News

More than 100 years ago two i'm
pOrtant m pus organizations
struggled fiercely to recruit the
outstanding young men who en-
rolled each year at Newark Col
lege, the small institution later to
become the University of Delaware.
This was not the fraternity rush
ing common today at Delaware and
on other college campuses, but a
membership campaign conducted
by the Delta Phi and Athenaean
Literary Societies which. in many
respects, carried on the social ac-
tivities fraternities assume today.
But on the Delaware campus, the
literary societies played far more
important function. Because of the
institutions limited financial re-
sources, the two societies soon de-
velOped Libraries that were better
than the official library of the col
lege, and members of the literary
groups drew freely upon the book
holdings of both libraries. 1t is es-
timated that the two societies had
about $500 volumes by 1870.
The Delta Phi Literary Society
was founded on January 4, 1885,
and less than month later the
Athenaean Society adopted its
constitution. The members de-
veloped strong loyalties to their
societies and a friendly rivalry be-
tween the two groups quickly arose.
New students were invited to sub
nit applications to one or both of
the organizations and electioneer-
ing for a desirable candidate then
began. Friendships, family tradi-
ton and reputation of the society
played important roles in selec-
ton. In the early years, profess
sors and the fathers of students
were also elected to honorary
membership.
Each society had hall" in
which it met and in which it's libr-
airy was housed. These quarters
were located on the top floor of
Old College, the Athenaen Society
in the east wing and Delta Phi in
the west wing. These halls were
primarily places for formal meet
ings of the societies, but it is like
ly that they also were used for
gathering places by the students
in their free time. This was in
creasingly true in the later 18th
century.
When the college was closed in

1859, the rooms of the literary So
eieties were locked and boIted and
their libraries safely locked with
in the rooms. These collections
Jared better than the college libr-
airy for when the institution was
reopened in 1870, the Athenaen
and Delta Phi societies were imme-
diately and enthusiastically re-
activated. Their books were, for
the most part, intact thanks to the
foresight of the early members.
Throughout their history the so
cieties provided their members
with training in public speaking,
in written expression of ideas, and
in rules Of parliamentary proceed
ure that they could learn in no
other way. Meetings were held
once a week and were well attend
ed. Boys who lived in Wilmington
or in homes apart from the cam
pus would return or remain over
night for Saturday morning meet
ings.
The diary of Joseph Cleayer, a
student for the year 1853-1854 has
numerous references to his activi-
ties in the Athenaen Society, and he
refers to a number of debates in
which he participated. One topic
was: 1T is probable that the Fed
eral Union will dissolve in 2000
years." He noted in his diary, at
seemed a good question when we
wrote it down, but it seems silly
now when / think of debating it. >
On another occasion he took the
negative in a debate on the ques-
ton, do facts or fiction contribute
the more to mental enjoyment?
In addition to the debates. dec
lamations and written compositions
were assigned for each meeting
One such composition by CleaveT
concerned the smells and sounds
in his fathers store at night The
orations, it is sure, were given In
the fiOrid style of the mid-19th GEN.
tury. Criticism was given freely
by the members and usually it was
constructive. In such an atmOs-
phere it is certain that the boys
profited as Eluch as from some
formal class assignments.
With the growth of the college
and increased course offerings in
the late 18th century, the literary
societies withered away, as new
groups and interests placed de-
mands upon the students time But
in their best days they played a
vital and valuable part of the life
of Delaware College.
