By JOSEPH GALLOWAY
United Press International
Topeka, Kan. - (UPO - At the
age of 10, when most boys are
shooting marbles and sneak
ing their first smoke, Roy S.
Hollomon led his Baptist Sun
day school class through the
dusty streets of Taylor, Tex.,
in a demonstration against
"the evils of drink."
Today, at the age of 64,
Hollomon is leading another
temperance march - across
the flatlands of Kansas.
In the intervening half a
century, Hollomon and his lit
tle band marched to the
heights of glory with national
prohibition and then fell
"lower than a well rope" as
America rushed gleefully to
ward legalized liquor.
Holloman marched from
Texas to Oklahoma holding
high the white flag of tem
perance, and in the end he
tramped into Kansas to make
his stand against modern liv
ing and drinking habits.
Campaign on TV
Today an estimated 100,000
Ksnsans turn on their tele
vision and radio sets every
Sunday to see and hear him.
Born at Taylor Aug. 2,
1808, the son of a country
banker and businessman, Hol
lomon was reared in a strict
Baptist home
His father was a prohibi
tionist and took little Roy to
every anti-saloon league and
temperance meeting held in
Taylor. At the age of 11 or
1 2 young Hollomon followed
his father's example and
signed a pledge never to take
a drink. '
He attended Baylor univer
sity, and on May 20, 1920, was
ordained a minister in the
Baptist church. He first took
the pulpit in Bryan, Tex., and
then went to El Paso - always
preaching against drinking.
In 1943 he went to Okla
homa City, Okla., to cc '.inue
his pulpit battle.
Directs Drys
In 104tt, when Oklahoma
voted on whether to legalize
liquor, he was drafted as full
time director of the drys.
Will Rogers once said,
"Oklahomans will vole dry as
long as they can stagger to
the polls." In 1949 Hollomon
worked hard to make sure
they did. He won and Okla
homa would continue dry for
another decade.
In the preceding year a cru
sading attorney general had
virtually shut off illicit whi?
key to "dry ' Kansas and
Kansas went to the polls in
droves to vote the state wet
for the first time since 1880.
Here, thought Hollomon,
was the ideal place to do bat
tle. So in January of 1951 he
came to Topeka to head the
disorganized and defeated
drys.
Today, after more than a
decade of crusading, Hollo
mon has put the drys back in
business as their $75,000 a
year budget for Kansas will
testify.
Kansans Abstain
Today Hollomon estimates
that almost 50 per cent of
Kansas' 2.2 million citizens
are total abstainers.
Asked if he thought pro
hibitionists were a minority
trying to force their will on
the majority, Hollomon said,
"We are a minority trying to
become a majority . . . We
are the right trying to force
our will on the wrong."
The slim, craggy - faced
preacher readily admits that
prohibition does not stop all
drinking. "If we would re
store prohibition tomorrow it
wouldn't do away with liquor
- but it sure cuts it down by
about two-thirds," he said.
"That's the trouble. People
demand 100 per cent effec
tiveness from prohibitory
laws or else they will say it
is a failure.
"Now you know we have
laws against murder, but peo
ple still kill other people.
And no one would dare sug
gest that because they aren't
totally effective, laws against
murder should be repealed."
To questions about the ef
fectiveness of national pro
hibition in the 1920's Hollo
mon said: "You must remem
ber that under President Wil
son we had William Gibbs
McAdoo, a conscientious pro
hibitionist, administering the
law from the Treasury department.

Study Shows Freshmen
May Not Finish PSC
Portland-A recent study of freshmen who entered PSC
Portland State college fresh
men grades and College
Boards scores indicates that
most freshmen in academic
difficulty during their first
term will not graduate at
PSC.
Dr. Keith Bell, director of
testing at PSC, conducted the
study to learn why large num
bers of first term freshmen
are being placed on proba
tion. He concluded that the
College Boards Scholastic Ap
titude Test-Verbal and first
term nrades have a distinct
relationship.
The study, bared on the
performances of the 19B1
freshman class, indicates that
the higher the student's verbal
test score the better his
chances are for graduating.
Dr. Bell noted, however, that
about 26 per cent of the stu
dents with above average test
scores are not doing passing
college work.
Grade studies were made
on the performance of 1.371
in fall term, 1961. A total of
730 earned passing grades of
2.0 or better while 640 were
placed on probation.
Passing students had an av
erage test score of 495 com
pared with 421 for failing
students. Some 68 per cent
of entering freshmen nation
ally achieve verbal test scores
in the 400-600 range, Dr. Bell
said.
He noted, however, that
College Boards scores do not
tell the whole story. Evidence
indicates that many persons
thought to be college material
arc actually failing. A total
of 42 per cent of the mid
range students, who comprise
two-thirds of all freshmen,
are on probation, he said.
The study revealed that
students placed on probation
had test scores in all ranges,
but tended to concentrate in
the lower ranges. Students
with passing grades tended to
be concentrated in the higher
ranges.
