Byrds Perform For Openings

The Byrds and the Beach Boys will
appear for the Openings Weekend Concert, The
P-K German Society announced yesterday.

Because they are cutting a new record, Rod
Stewart and the Faces earlier asked P-K German
if they could change their concert date.
Presently they are scheduled to appear
December 15.

According to Tom Collier P-K German is
also trying to contract the Allman Brothers to
appear with Rod Stewart at that time.

The Joy Wagon Tour of Capital Records will
be here Sunday night, October 24. The price of
admission is $1.50. Groups on the tour will be
Joy of Cooking, Lew Kottke, and Joyous
Noise.

The Byrds have just produced a new album
"Byrd Mania," and the Beach Boys new release
is entitled "Surf's Up." The Beach Boys have
had a sellout crowd for their last eleven
concerts.

State Censorship

Two members of Governor Linwood
Holton's Budget Advisory Commission recently
suggested that the state either censor college
newspapers or stop financing them.

W. Roy Smith of Petersburg and Edward
Lane of Richmond, members of the House of
Delegates, told the Governor that they objected
to mandatory student fees for college
newspapers which do not accurately reflect
student opinion, according to the Radford
College newspaper.

Mr. Smith and Mr. Lane protested
mandatory financing when some papers are in
"poor taste" and express opinions offensive to
the students paying for them.

In addition to their positions on the
Governor's commission, Mr. Smith and Mr.
Lane hold high offices on the powerful House
Appropriations Committee.

Degree Deadline

The College Registrar has announced that
fourth year college students planning to
graduate in June must file a degree application
with the Registrar, 406 Cabell Hall, by October
26.

King Memorial

The Martin Luther King Memorial
Fund, established at the University shortly after
Mr. King's death in 1968, is presently providing
more than $9,800 in financial aid to 12
students at the University.

Created by contributions from faculty,
students, alumni and friends and matched by
the University with private funds, the King
Fund was originally intended for undergraduate
financial aid and special programs for low
income students.

However, "the drastic reductions in
fellowship funds from federal and foundation
sources for graduate study convinced the Ad
Hoc Committee on Educational Opportunity
which administers the fund to approve the use
of the money for graduate fellowships." said
William A. Elwood, assistant to the president
for special programs.

With the exception of an undergraduate
who needed funds to attend summer school,
the recipients are all entering graduate students
who may receive up to $1,500-matched if
possible by their respective departments or
schools.
