Student Funds Support SNCC In Race Crisis The SAC sent 50 this week to the Student Non-violent Co-ordi nating Committee (SNCC) in the South. This contribution, collected after emergency meetings which authorized the recognition of SNCC efforts, will be added to a bail bond and court fee fund for persons jailed during freedom rides and Ne gro voter registration. SNCC, made up of white Southern college students, sponsored Negro voter regis tration drives in Mississippi this fall. According to reports from Jay Greenberg, editor of the Chicago Maroon, and Tom Harden, former editor of the Michigan Daily, who traveled in Mississippi, members of SNCC who tutored Negroes to pass the required oral exams on the staff Constitution, were jailed in Jackson. Hayden and Greenberg also ob served that only six Negroes passed the exam and registered. Leading the registration drive Herbert Lee (Negro), was shot and killed by a state Representa tive, Eugene Hurst, who was ac quitted in a trial that night. The jury freed Hurst on the grounds of self-defense. Up to date no in vestigation has been initiated, ac cording to Medgar Evers, NAACP field secretary. Some 114 Negro high school students were arrested in a demonstration in Jackson after two students were expelled for participating in sit-down strikes this summer, Evers said. In addition, Evers, who was con tacted by Yolande Robbins, senior SAC representative, maintained that the State of Mississippi ap propriates 350,000 a year for the maintenance of a Sovereignty Commission to enforce segrega tion. This includes wire-tapping and preventing news of racial dem onstrations from leaving Mississis- sippi. Evers' assertions were made Monday night to Yolande in a telephone conversation from Jackson. The arrested high school stu dents were given disclaimer affi davits and asked to renounce their participation in the demonstrations and promise not to do so again, the secretary added. Because the students refused to do so, they were expelled from school; however, they were released under bond. Evers said that Walter Wil liams, president of the Jackson State College student govern ment, was expelled for participa tion in sit-down demonstrations and the student government was abolished. The State Fair opened in Jackson Monday, and picket lines were set up. Evers reported that policemen with dogs on leashes walked along the lines. He added that the picket was successful and there was al most a complete boycott of the fair. 3 Vol. XXXII Mundelein College, Chicago 40, Illinois, October 18,1961 Richard Third Opens Foreign Film Forum THE UNITED WORLD FEDERALISTS' booth combined effectiveness, purpose, information, originality and artistic quality to take first place in the Club Week competition.
