Long smoldering resentment in
a minority group flared openly
Thursday as a raucous mob of
f a c u 11 y protested discrimatory
policies on the campus of St.
Mary’s Junior College. Marching
with banners and torches through
the Eliza Battle Pittman Andi-
torium during Assembly, the un
ruly adults confronted tlie student
body with 128 jmars of neglect.
Said a svelt spokesman of the ac
tivists, “Adults have been blatant
ly ignored on this campus—their
civil rights violated. No more will
we languish in limbo !”
The protestors moved immedi
ately to shut down all student
commnnication. Keys were confis
cated from student-owned-and-
operated mailboxes, and Mrs.
Doris Parker stalwartly refused to
grant any outside lines to those
under 21.
In a surprise move, the Dean of
Students canceled all blanket per

all rooms, nooks, and crannies.
Nor was the search futile.
To comprehend the severity of
the drug problem, one need only
look at the drugs confiscated from
a single dormitory. For instance,
in Holt officers uncovered 57,301
aspirin; 4,708 Bxcedrin; 47 oz.
Cepacol; 243 Rolaids; and 100,198
Certs. RVS was astonished that
not a single pill, pellet, or capsule
was found in the Infirmary.
Friends of St. Mary’s are dazed
by this gloomy disclosure. Ponder
ing the RVS report, the Chairman
of the Board of Trustees sadly
shook his head. “It’s a tough pill
to swallow,” he said.

heroically ignored all pleas for
mercy. Chanting “Adults Are
Adorable,” the protestors built a
huge bonfire in the metal trashcan
in Lower Smedes and belligerently
threatened to burn all gradebooks
and social security cards. They
were deterred from the inflania-
tory action only by that soft-
spoken sylph of sophistry, J. Uph-
rates Tate, wliose dignity and
aplomb faltered never as he urg
ed, “0, really now.”
Using guerillas provided by the
Science Department, the mob ter
rorized campus with guerilla war
fare for more than eleven min
utes. Then the impudent peda
gogues swarmed into the Faculty
Room and threatened to sulk there
until their demands were met.
Sound of merriment emanated
from the stronghold as the follow
ing list of utterly nonnegotiable
demands was delivered to stunned
Student Governmnet Association
officials:
(1) Amnesty for all activists.
(2) A color T.V. and a sauna
bath for the Faetdty Room.
Relative calm embrances the
campus, but new violence is ex
pected : a courageous student
overheard faculty plans to in-
nauguarate a 7-day work week
unless all demands are met within
17 hours.
Stately Landmark Erased
S.M.J.C. Campus
AVork is progressing nicely in
the demolition of the Faculty
House. Condemned in early 1940
as unfit for human habitation, the
House was turned into a jazzy
clubhouse for the SAIJC faculty.
However, the two-mile hike from
Bast Rock or Smedes to the Fac
ulty House detered most teachers
from enjoying the dark empty
rooms.
The death warrant was signed
when the N. C. Department of
Archives and History discovered
that the Faculty House already
rests on the remains of an Indian
burial ground for indigent buffa
loes. Several bones have already
been uncovered.
A pup tent has been pitched be
side the laundry. Facxdty meni-
bers are urged to enjoy this faed-
ity until further arrangements
can be made.
