Tom Doran

Tom Doran, a former University
student arrested in last May's
activities for the destruction of
University property, was not so
lucky. Arrested in September on
perjury charges stemming from his
August trial, Mr. Doran was given a
fine of $1,000.

The University witnessed its
second "Black Culture Week" in
mid-February. Authorities from
across the country spoke on
subjects ranging from black
literature to slavery. A speech by
Julian Bond started the week
which, although hardly noticed by
the general student body, helped
provide a sense of unity for black
students at the University.

How many basketball fans can
forget the night of January 11
when the Cavalier basketball team,
led by the incredible scoring ability
of Sophomore Barry Parkhill,
topped the second ranked USC
Gamecocks 50-49 with six seconds
remaining in the game?

Numerous appointments
occurred throughout the second
semester. The most notable of the
appointments was that of Senator
Hugh Scott to the Board of
Visitors. Appointed by Governor
Holton, Mr. Scott will serve a
four-year term which will end in
1975. While most students would
have preferred a black, or a woman
or one of their peers to be
appointed to the Board, Mr. Scott's
appointment did not meet with
disapproval Some students
question if Mr. Scott will be able
to devote the amount of time his
position demands.
