WASHINGTON, D.C. - In an appearance before the
House Subcommittee on Housing here last Friday,
William R. Morris, NAACP cfirector of housing
programs, called President Nixon’s freeze on subsidize
housing fu ‘
housing funds as "unjustified and illegal.”
“In view of worsening
conditions across the nation,
and the escalating costs of
acquiring adequate shelter,"
Mr. Morris said that the
Congress must "reaffirm and
strengthen its resolve to help
the disadvantaged and poor "

predicted in the final days
of the election, thai

Agnew on Oct. 10. The text of
the statement follows:
The resignation of Spiro T.
Agnew as Vice President of the
United States, is not only
surprising in light of his earlier
declarations that he would not
consider such a move; it is
unprecedented In the history of
our nation. But above and
beyond a!) this, il is a tragic

his own question, stated that
students sometime quit school

find remaining in school
unnecessary. In other cases,
some students remain in school
without showing real interest
in education.
Varied programs arc offered
at the school:
About 60 percent of the
students are registered in
classes for the average
student, other students are
