CALLING
ALL STOCKS

The "stock" market at
Trinity College has hit a
new low.
Trinity's traditional
stocks" - the white net,
whaleboned, high neck
wear popular in the Gay
'90s and worn with cap
and gown by Trinity SEN
iors can no longer be pur-
chased from the firm
which formerly supplied
them.
With Cap and Gown
Sunday scheduled for Sep
tember 25, and a class Of
l40 seniors anxious to ap-
pear for the first time in
full academic garb, an SOS
has been sent to Trinity
alumnae across the coun-

send us your stocks!"

why this particular item is
a must" at Trinity, since
none of the other local col
legeS include it. It's just
traditional.

ries over from the early
days Of the college, when
ladies of the era sought to
enhance their dignity by
the neck-hugging chokers.
Elderly ladies of that pc
iiod, quite UNDERSTANDABLE,
used the stock as a beauty
i. adjunct.
For many years, nobody
has worn the things-ex-
cept Trinity seniors whose
youthful throats certainly
don't need them.
Trinity'S administration
has suggested, year after
year, that the girls aban-
don stocks. Every senior
class votes them in again,
in spite of or possibly be-
81 cause Of, the fact that one
Of the traditional Cap and
Gown Sunday songs con-
tains the line: "I've got a
stock, as hard as a rock. :"
Unless alumnae find

send in these archaic con-
traptions, this song will
have one false line.

tradition!

Sentence. Of =.
Miss. Official

NEW YORK : The contempt
conviction in Mississippi of an MA
ACP field secretary for his com
ment on the court trial of a Neg
ro student is a further demonstra-
ton of the double standard main
tanned by the Deep South for its
white and colored citizens" )" tn e
Association executive head, Roy
Wilkins, declared here today.
The NAACP will appeal the con-
viction of its Mississippi official to
the highest court, if necessary, to
see justice done,' Mr.. Wilkins stat
ed.
Evers was sentenced Dec. to
80 days in jail and fined $1OO for
criticizing the decision in the For
est County Circuit Court at Hatties-
burg in the trial of a student,
Clyde Kennard, who was charged
with burglary. Prior to his convic-
ton Kennard had attempted to en-
roll at Mississippi Southern COL
lege.
Mr.. Evers' comments on the
conduct of Mr.. Kennard's trial
were an exercise of free speech
within the permissible limits of
such comments" Mr.. Wilkins OBJ
served
''The nation and the world will
not miss the supreme irony of this
action in a state and region which
for six years has recognized no re-
straints, even of common decency,.
in it's violent assaults on the mo-
tives and integrity of the Supreme
Court of the United States, - Mr.
Wilkins declared.
Mississippi has again made it
plain that a white man can vilify
the courts of the land with COM
plete impunity, but colored man
may not enjoy the constitutional
right to speak freely if what he
says is distasteful to the white ma
jority.'
