The combination of the two factors prompted Goldschmidt to i drop the Hoard from the new | budget (The Board was given $30 from the ASUO last year) They’re asking for a $2,159 bud get for 1966-67.

Aid Jeopardized At Five Schools WASHINGTON (CPS)—In its first crackdown on higher educa tion facilities, the Office of Educa tion has warned five Southern colleges, including Sweet Briar in Lynchburg, Va , that they may lose federal aid because of their racial policies. 'The colleges were cited for failing to file, or for filing un acceptable assurances of compli ance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits federal as sistance to programs that dis criminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin. Sweet Briar, a well-known wo men’s college, submitted its form last June, a week and a half after a Virginia Circuit Court judge denied the school’s bid for per mission to ignore stipulations in the will of its founder. The will states that the college, which was founded in 1900, be for “white girls and young women.” A spokesman at the college said that she did not know if a new hearing now will be requested by school officials. She did indicate, however, that if another hearing is convened, the school’s attor neys might use another section of the will in seeking to overturn the all-white restriction. The second clause states, in part, that the school should “im-, part to its students such an edu- j cation ... as shall in the judg ment of the directors best fit them to be useful members of society.” The college could contend, the spokesman said, that the direc tors of the school feel Sweet Briar must desegregate in order to achieve this goal. The college so far has received $64,564 in federal funds; it has applied for $14,331 more for the current fiscal year. The four other colleges warned were Marion Institute, Marion, Ala.; Mississippi College, Clinton, Miss.; Bob Jones University, Greenville, S.C.; and Freewill Baptist Bible College, Nashville, Tenn. The Office of Education has in formed the schools that they can seek a public hearing on the ac tion. objected to the cut. Clemens list ed several items—travel expenses, promotion, petition printing, and equipment costs — where the Board felt that increases were necessary. Settlemier said that the Board ! felt that they were "doing a serv ice for the University," and that the Board's demands were, there fore, justified and should not be i pushed aside. He cited the Board's difficulties in getting cooperation from members, and expressed his feeling that the bigger budget ] would solve that problem and im-! prove the rally squad's image. Senator-at-large Chuck Pruitt argued that the ASUO should not be responsible for the Board's expenses because the Rally squad is a "status” organization, and that its members can usually af ford the expenses involved. Approved Board's Budget The Senate approved the | Board's budget, 14 to 2, no ab-1 stentions. It was not included in the ASUO budget however. The Rally Board will bring it before the Budget Board at its meeting at 7 p.fh today Chuck Stout introduced the bill; recommending that the Senate j recommend that the Student Pub- j lications Board print a detailed student activities handbook, to be distributed to incoming freshmen next year. Sue Sprague, member of the Publications Board, told the Sen ate that the Board wanted to print a more detailed listing of student activities than the one in the Ore-Ntcr, the orientation I booklet now being used. The pro posed new booklet would cover, in detail, student publications,! the ASUO, and all University honoraries. Adding List Skip Clemens asked about the possibility of adding the new list onto the present Ore-Nter. and John Moore moved that the pro-; posal be amended to allow for in-: vest igat ion of that possibility. Bob Coltman, Senator also on the ; Budget Board, said that the i amendment wasn't really ncces-1 sary, because the budget commit tee would probably ask the same ! (Continued on ('age 3) Donahue May Run For Top Position By PHIL SEMAS Emerald Editor Junior Class President Bill Hansell has withdrawn from the race for ASUO president. His running mate, Mike Donahue, may decide to run for the office as a write-in candidate, if he can find a vice-presidential can didate to run with him. Hansell’s withdrawal leaves Henry Drummonds, chairman of the ASUO Senate’s Public Affairs Committee, and John Ressler, junior in general social sciences, as the only candidates. Hansell’s statement said that. ’’As' of late, I have felt an increas ing desire to give my full dedication to other interests that I hold very high. “Not that student government is not important. On the contrary, it is important to the student body, but there are other areas that I consider of more importance. It is in these areas that I want to channel my abilities. ' My heart just isn’t in the campaign, and in all honesty, I can’t justify to myself that I really desire this high office. “I’ve been purposely vague about what my other interests are. I don't think this article is the place to explain them. But I will be more than happy to discuss privately this matter with anyone, at any time, and to any length they may desire.” Donahue said he would not decide finally on whether he would run until tonight. He said Sunday that he was examining possi bilities for a running mate. Under ASUO election rules, Ponahue must run as a write-in, since his name is on the ballot for ASUO vice-president, not president. Donahue said he was sorry Hansell had decided to withdraw, "since students were really being offered a choice between the two candidates.” Donahue said that if he does not run for president, he will run as a write-in for the Senate, where he has served for almost two years. Drummonds said that he and his running mate, Lee Bollinger were "surprised and disappointed at the apparent decision of one t Continued on page 3) Drummonds Asks For More Action ASUO presidential candidate Henry Drummonds Friday chal lenged students to change their University. Speaking from the Free Speech Platform to about 80 people, he said that student government should be "committed to the ideals of a University.” Drummonds, chairman of the Senate’s Public Affairs Commit tee, said students should partici pate in the running of the Uni versity. “Students no longer need to be satisfied with a factory Uni versity, or a department store University.” He called for two educational reforms, both of which he said 1—1 HI Mil IW—— - M - THE NEW RALLY SQUAD for 1966-67 pauses for a bit of fun, following their selection last Tuesday. New members are: (female, left to right) Cindy Bryan, Kris Carroll, Lolly Tweed, Bev Bush, and Carol Koski; (male, left to right, bottom) Dave Groza, Bruce Blanc, Larry Jackson, Tom Westbrook, and Rick Coon. A yell king will be selected from among these men during the alumni football game on May 14. Photo by Shota Ushio are now in the works: changing the grading system for physical education serv ice classes to pass or fail and a similar change that would allow students to take any course outside their major on pass or fail basis, provided they took no more than the 36 hours now allowed them. Students will have to force some of these changes.” Drum monds said. Drummonds' running mate for vice president, Senator-at-large Lee Bollinger, said educational reform was not their only inter est. He pointed to bills which Drummonds introduced in the Senate for longer library hours and student representation in fac ulty meetings, as well as his own efforts to organize a gas dis count program. He said they hoped to imple ment a speaker program that would "bring the good outside speakers that we aren't getting here now.” He gave as an example of such a program bringing Playboy mag azine publisher Hugh Hefner to debate a clergyman on the ques tion of sexual freedom. Drummonds also took a couple of swipes at the proposals of one of his opponents, Junior Class President Bill Hansell. Hansell has proposed dividing upperclass dormitories, co - ops, - and Greek houses arbitrarily into two political parties w’ith the rest of the campus allowed to pick its political party. Hansell and his running mate. Senate Governing Committee Chairman Mike Dona hue. both claimed Thursday that the ideological split between the parties would follow. Drummonds called the proposal "rather a strange one.” “We've been talking about stu (Continued on page 3)
