Editors of the Advocate have worked hard this semester preparing their parody of the Lampoon, and much time and money went into producing what we feel is an outstanding work.

But a milk-bottle collection in Houston's Negro districts boosted funds to some $4,000, and Candidate White began a hard campaign. Pointedly, she talked of issues, e.g., Houston schoolchildren pay 4? more a half-pint for lunchtime milk than children in surrounding districts because the hyperconservative school board has refused to accept federal aid.
