...question of the likeliness of a disturbance, or more familiarly, a riot, is not the main issue in the minds of undergraduates. They are more concerned with the question of what will happen to them as a result of participation in a riot. They will not be treated like boys on an outing. If anyone doubts this fact, let them look at the record of the aftermath of the May third riot last year. Two students had their connection with the University severed, one had his degree held up a half year, a number were placed on probation until...

No one expects anything of this sort to happen this year. But how close Joe Martin can come to making it happen is, despite all the palaver of its more famed idealists, the G.O.

Meanwhile, a member of the President's Committee, dark, bushy-browed Rev. George Johnson, of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, snorted that Dr. Strayer's charges were "utter nonsense." Catholic children, said he, "should not be deprived of their rights as Americans because they do not happen to be attending public schools." Arriving in Atlantic City to address the convention, the Committee's chairman, wiry Dr. Floyd Wesley Reeves, tried to smooth the waters by explaining the Committee had not suggested that Federal money go directly to parochial schools, but that States and localities receiving Federal...
