Committee
Organizes
Tables will be placed in
Y-Court today and Wednesday
for students who wish to sign
up for discussion groups in the
Free University Committee, a
spokesman for the group
announced Monday.
The committees were started
just before the workers' strike
but were discontinued during
the course of the strike.
"What we're doing now,"
the spokesman said, "is
reorganizing. We're looking for
people who see that there are
problems and who want to
discuss these problems."
The committee was started
to discuss student activism and
the courses it can take and to
do research on the topic.
Each group will be
composed of 10 to 12
members and will meet at least
once a week.

Jones rode an elevator up to
the third floor to surrender to
U.S. Marshalls.

Goes To Jail
The klansmen and security
guards had planned to form an
"honor guard" along the front
steps of the building for Jones
when he came out, but federal
agents took him out a side
door and they left town
unnoticed by the klansmen.
Jones was the second Klan
leader to begin serving a
one-year term for refusing to
turn over Klan records to the
House Un-American Activities
Committee in 1966. '

Dispute
Atty. Gen. Dan McLeod that as
a state institution it has no
authority to negotiate with or
recognize a union.
"We don't plan to talk to
anyone who represents a
union," said William Huff, vice
president for development.
"We will talk to any of our
employees."
It was learned that the
hospital had replaced about 35
of the workers and was
apparently seeking to fill more
vacancies.
Huff said the hospital has up
to about 800 non-professional
workers in the kitchens,
cleanup details, as orderlies and
in other jobs. " The work
stoppage has led the hospital to
turn away "elective" cases that
can wait, and currently has
about 350 bedpatients
compared to an average of
about 400.
. Huff defended the hospital's
wage scale , for help, which
starts at $1.35 per hour for
non-professionals and goes to
$1.44 after three months. He
said the minimum was five
cents above the federal
minimum wage for hospitals,
and the salary was escalating to
$1.60 under federal guidelines.1

THIS SPRING!
Robert Shelton of
Tuscaloosa, Ala., began serving
his term at the federal
minimum security facility at
Texarkana, Tex., earlier this
year. Robert Scoggin of
Spartanburg, S.C, grand
Dragon of the South Carolina
Klan, faces the same" sentence
but has not yet begun his term.
"We're all political
prisoners," said Jones before
entering the Federal Building.
He had been ordered Friday to
surrender to the U.S. marshalls
Monday.
"I don't know what it's
going to be like. I've never
been in jail before," said Jones,
who was dressed in a grey
business suit. "There's no way
you can get ready for that, I
guess."
Jones said about 120
klansmen and Klan security
guards had accompanied him in
a cavaran of cars and a
chartered bus from Salisbury
to the Federal Building where
he surrendered to marshalls at
9:15 a.m.
Someone shouted at him:
"Did you get a two-way bus
ticket?" H
"Hell, no, I'm not going but
one way," he replied.
His wife, Sybil, waved off
newsmen's questions and told
them, "I have nothing to say."
Authorities said Jones will
be eligible for parole after
serving one third of his
sentence, which means he
could be paroled in four
months.
He and the other klansmen
had refused to turn over the
Klan records and membership
lists during an investigation of
the organization by the House
Un-American Activities
Committee. ! ;f
Calvin Craig, who was grand
dragon of the Georgia Klan at
the time, also refused to turn
over records. But he later quit
the Klan and joined an
., anti-poverty agency. He, was
fined $1,000 rather : than
: sentenced to prison. v
