Assistance Requests Running
High at North Carolina College
An estimated 1200 to 1500
applications are expected to
be filed in the North Carolina
College Dean of Students' of*
fice for financial assistance
under the National Defense
§tudent LO%B Program for
the 1965—1966 academic year.
According to John L
Stewart, acting dean of stu
dents, an estimated 925
will qualify for and receive
aid under the program,
which la financed by the
federal government (90 per
cent) and the college (10 pea
cent).
Stewart revealed that
therefore, h said, U cutting
$450,000 is available for ap
plicant* enrolled during the
1665*1966 school year and
the 1966 summer school but
emphasised that the amount
still not be enough if every
one were given the amount
he requested. A problem,
therefore, he said, Is cutting
—where and how much—
and yet distributing the
money widely so that stu
dents who otherwise could
not do so might be able to
remain in school.

"deal" had been made between
NAACP Board and/or staff
members and the Johnson Ad

opposition to the Coleman

running by Willie Mays and
clutch pitching by Bob Gibson
in the late innings lifted the
National League All-Stars past
the American Leaguers 6-5 in
the annual All-Star game held
here Tuesday at the Metropoli
tan Stadium before a sellout
cro'A'd of 64,706.
In taking the lead for the
first time in the all-star play,
the National League had to
shake off several rallies by the
junior league stars to preserve
the win. The National League
now holds a slight 18-17-1 lead
in all-star competition.
Mays, playing in his lfith all
stjrr game, hit the second pitch
6f the game into the lower sec
tion of the leftfield seats and
before the inning was over, the
National League had scored
three pans. Willie Stargell
poked a two run homer Into the
centerfield bullpen In the sec
ond frame and the fans started
thinking of a possible run away
since the senior loop stars had
a 5-0 lead after two innings.
But the American League
broke loose for five runs in the
next four stanzas to turn what
once looked like a one-sided af
fair Into a tie game after six
innings.
Mays batting out of the lead
off spot for the 'winners, open
ed the seventh frame with a
walk. Aaron followed with a
single to right sending Mays to
third. After Roberto Clemente

the delegate from Flint, Mich.
"I have not been offered any
position, do not expect any of
fer and do not want any. I
wouldn't trade my position with
the Association even for the
seat in the White House," he
declared.
Clarence Mitchell, director of
the NAACP Washington bureau,
likewise assailed and denied
the remarks made by the dele
gate and offered to settle the
Issue "in debate on the floor,
or out In the corridors. I don't
take that kind of stuff from
anybody."

Realizing the fact that of
fense is not the only phase of
the game, St. Louis' Sob Gibson
came on to pitch the final two
innings for the National League.
The World series hero of la«t
