Teach-in Passed

A motion to delete references to
the war and to emphasize solely
racism failed, but the portion of the
motion dealing with the teach-in
was deleted before passage.

A half-hour Memorial Service to
Dr. King will be held on tomorrow
night at 7 at the Zion Union
Church on Preston Avenue.

At the same time, the
N.A.A.C.P. annual membership
drive will be officially opened,
dedicated to the "memory and
unforgettable example of Martin
Luther King."

The Reverend E. G. Hall will
preside, and participating ministers
are Reverend Benjamin Bunn,
Reverend J. B. Hamilton, Reverend
H. Floyd Johnson, Reverend R. A.
Johnson, Reverend Walter Royal
Jones, and the Reverend Henry
Mitchell. Mrs. Charles Harris will
sing Dr. King's favorite song,
"Precious Lord." Miss Dolly Arnette,
chairman of the N.A.A.C.P.
membership drive, will also say a
few words.

In other business at the Student
Council meeting, Bud Ogle moved
that the Student Council devote up
to one hour of its next meeting to
be an open forum for interested
members of the University community
to comment, criticize and/
or praise the Council's role and
responsibilities.

The motion carried.
