There are people bom every day who could cure disease, make peace, create ait, abolish injustice, end hunger. But they’ll probably never get a chance to do those things if they don’t get an education. We’re educating over 45,000 students at 40 private, four-year colleges every year. Most of these young people would never get to college on their own. Three quarters need some kind of financial aid. Well over half come from families earning less than $5,000 a year. You can help us help more. By sending a check. To UNCF, 55 East 52nd Street, New York, N.Y. 10022. Whatever you can afford. Because we can’t afford to waste anybody.

They were identified as Ruth Martin and Madelyn Weaver. MAN SHOT A man was shot late Sunday while he was going to visit some friends at the Underwood Homes.

He was treated at University Hospital. ROBBED AT KNIFEPOINT A man under the influence of alcohol was robbed at knifepoint when he stopped his car at the corner of 9th and Florence Street. Willie Williams of 1329 Twiggs Street told police that on Saturday around midnight he stopped at the stop sign when 3 men approached his car. One of the men put a knife to his throat and took him out of the car demanding his money. Mr. Willians refused and the men took 5196.00 out of his pocket.

The coroner said that the dead man had no identification on his person. “He was approximately 20 years old,” the coroner said. “He was a black rrtale, and he had his hair in pigtails, 20 or 30 of them. Reports About Militants “He had three or four keys in his pocket, one of them a car key, perhaps; four or five $1 bills in his pocket and a wrist watch.” Governor Edwards said there had been reports that “outsiders” had been on the campus at Southern in recent days. He said that state intelligence units also had received “unverified reports” that militants from “out of state” were on the way to Baton Rouge. Two black men from Chicago were stopped while trying to enter the campus last night after airline officials reported to the police that the two had checked long boxes as luggage. Governor Edwards said that the men had rifles when stopped at a railroad overpass leading to the campus. Both said they were graduates of the school returning to Baton Rouge for the scheduled football game between Grambling College and Southern that was to have been played tomorrow, but has now been canceled. Most Leave Campus The men told the police that they had brought the rifles to go hunting while on vacation in Louisiana, the authorities said. Neither man was charged because it is not a violation of Louisiana law to carry rifles. The weapons, the Governor said, were taken by Federal agents. Most students had left the campus today in line with an order from Governor Edwards that the school be closed until MRegister H H And ■ H Vote I THE RIGHT TO VOTE WAS WON WITH BLOOD AND LIVES. DON’T THROW IT AWAY. Slain Cont’d. From P -1 after Thanksgiving Day. A few foreign students and several from out of the state, however, were allowed to remain in a freshman dormitory. Apprehensive parents who flocked to Baton Rouge today to pick up their children at the campus were halted by a state police and National Guard roadblock set up on the railroad overpass that leads from U.S. Highway 61 to the college grounds. Guards searched every automobile, and most of the parents were refused admittance to the campus. A huge traffic jam developed at the roadblock as the parents waited for their children to walk to them. Governor Edwards toured the campus again today, holding an impromptu news conference beside a large pool of blood that marked the spot where the two men died. A Negrq workman had tried to brush up the blood without success, and the crimson-stained broom he used was lying on the grass. A smell of tear gas still hung over the campus. Many of the newsmen talking to the Governor began to weep from the effects of the gas, but the Governor seemed to be immune. The mother of Denver A. Smith, the 20-year-old student whose body was identified yesterday, described her son as one who believed “in the right things.” He was not “a militant,” she said. The television film taken on campus yesterday showed Mr. Smith and the other man who was killed running away from tire front of the administration building as the police fired volleys of tear gas toward them. Both fell about the same time, about six feet apart. Mr. Smith’s sister Josephine, 19, also a student at Southern, said that many of the students could not hear what the police were saying when the students were ordered to disperse yesterday. Helicopters flying overhead drowned out the words, she said. Miss Smith said that, as the police started to advance, many students ran into the administration buildings “to avoid any trouble.” Before the fatal confrontation yesterday, there were several weeks of protests on both the campus here and in New Orleans. Students seized buildings, staged mass marches and boycotted classes to support their demands for improved living conditions, better food, broader programs of black studies, and the resignation of Dr. Netterville, the school president, and of Dr. Emmett W. Bashful, the vice president in charge of the New Orleans campus. Both men are black. A number of students have contended that Dr. Netterville yesterday gave them permission to occupy the administration building here.
