Plan To Impeach
Streeter Backed
By V. President
NCC’s Student Government,
shaken by rumors of theTesigna-
tion of the Vice-President, Carl
High, and the appearance of a
bulletin apparently intended to
indict the President;, Lacy*
Streeter, had been crippled in
the past week to the extent that
students were “choosing sides”
as to whether or not they would
Support the incumbent.
The bulletin that appeared
first denounced the President’s
action, lack of action, on such
matters as the alleged banning!
of certain recreational events on
campus, the handling of budge
tary problems, and also called
for the resignation or the im
peachment of Streeter. It bore
the name of, among others, the
Vice-President.
As the initial afreets of pani«|
began to disappear among the
students, indications were that
things were almost back to nor
mal. Mr. High notified the Cam
pus Echo that he was not resign
ing, and Streeter took the oppor
tunity to outline some of the-
projects now being undertaken
by the Student Government. On
the recent illness among the stu
dents, Streeter offered the fol
lowing information:
“On Friday at 2:00 P.M., the-
Dean of the Undergraduate!
School, Dr. Kyle, ^informed me
that the President, Dr. l^lder,.
had visited the infirmary Thurs
day n’jjbt, an'J had —!
committee to investigate
matter. The committee Includedi
the college physician, ' Dr.
Randolph; the business manager,
Mr. Jones, and Dr. Kyle. He also
informed me that specimens had
been sent to the local Healtli
Dept, for analysis, and that a
report of the committee would
be given me to pass on to the
students. Today (Monday, Nov.
21), Dr. Kyle told me that the
analysis had proved negative.”
Mr. Streeter stated further
that funds appropriated to the
Student Government for budgets
of the Eagle and the Echo are^
“insufficient” and that he would
“try to have the allocations in
creased.”
Mr. Streeter wished to assure
the students that “I have no in
tention of resigning, nor have I
ever thought of doing it.”
Concerning the recreational
events, Mr. Streeter said, “No
information has been given me
