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.

MARY’S PROVES DROO ka guCCESSFUL Squad in an intensive search of 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. - xT„ctipJ ill her historic grove lege. s,.

De spite wails of anguish, Aliss R 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. leir com- in j affairs, i both in rk and in Carolina, 7’s.
