...ways. Though 69, he is still head coach of the varsity football, basketball and baseball teams, still bats out grounders before a big game. (Another interest: driving one of his three trotters in one of his eleven buggies.) He presides at his daily student assemblies; is always full of campus news and cracker-barrel advice ("The hills are changing color again. Be sure to look"). He still holds Sunday vespers, beaming when the boys sing "real loud."

...first asked to disassociate itself voluntarily - from the state and national A.Y.D. This it refused to do. The university's ban of the A.Y.D. followed, based on 1) the evidence that the local group's purposes were different from those under which it had been granted recognition as a campus activity group and 2) the evidence that it was subject to the influence or control of an outside political organization.
