a few minor remarks and the aiding of Thomas twice in parliamentary procedure.
MILLER INFORMED the Committee that letters had been sent requesting the film "Harvest of Shame" for KU but that as yet there was no reply.
THE CHAIRMAN then asked Menghini about the progress of the NSA Congress delegates' report.
Menghini read a draft of the report to the committee, saying that it would be completed for presentation to the ASC tonight. He added that copies of the report will be sent to living groups, campus organizations and the faculty.
MENGHINI REPORTED on a meeting he had Sunday night with Mike Neff, west coast program vice president for NSA.
"Due to a mistake in schedule, Mike won't be able to be at KU until February," said Menghini.
"However," he continued, "he and I had a four-hour meeting in which Mike suggested a good five-point plan which this Committee can use."
Menghini said he would present the plan to the ASC at the same time he does the delegates' Congress report.
"ONE THNG we can do," said Menghini, "is set up TV centers when David Brinkley's new show "Journal" gives its film report of the NSA Congress last Aug. 20-30.
After the show, we could hold debates and discussions. I think it would be interesting and it would maintain interest in KU NSA."
Menghini then read a news report published by NSA's national office concerning civil rights struggles in Mississippi.
The report said at least 114 Negro high school students were arrested Oct. 4 when beginning a seven-mile march to Magnolia, Miss.. Pike county seat.
THE MARCH was arranged by leaders of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee — a group recognized by NSA.
When police apprehended the students they arrested all but 36 of 150 marchers. Police reportedly beat three of the group's leaders before jailing them.
After considerable delay the charge was announced as "breach of peace."
SNCC is now trying to raise $63,000 for bond for the 19 still in jail.
Jan. In Jackson, Miss., the state capital, the president of Jackson State college officially abolished the student government on Oct. 6 for its participation in freedom rides.
400 students walked out of school in protest.
400 students walked out of school in protest. Menghini finished his reading by saying that there is apparently a "press blackout" in this area.
Palmer suggested writing to the Greenville, Miss., Delta Democrat-Times for information. (The editor of the Greenville paper was last year's recipient of the Annual National Award for Journalistic Merit of the William Allen White Foundation.)
Mellwaine suggested contacting Jim Robertson at the University of Mississippi.
After a brief discussion concerning budget applications for the Committee, the meeting was adjourned.
'Moral Suasion'—

discriminate, he is for it. If he takes them off, he is against it. He says he does not wish to interfere with the private rights of renters.
"I have the feeling that suasion won't work. Also, by telling the renters he can't offer them the "services" of the housing office, he would not mean they couldn't rent. This is no edict."
Another student who disagreed with the moral suasion policy of the Chancellor was George Buford, Kansas City senior and cochairman of the Civil Rights Council.
"USING SUASION, it would take at least another two generations to get rid of the problem. Suasion will not work against the prejudiced person. It would take a long, long time.
Most of the students opposed to the Chancellor's policy felt that he was not adamant in his determination to continue listing discriminatory renters.
"I think that the Chancellor will eventually go along with another policy."
Richard Smith said he thinks the Chancellor will change if he finds a better plan.
"I think that we and the Chancellor are headed the same direction. He is just taking the more conservative route."

Worth Repeating
The best American designs have the solid, powerful, tidy, everything-in-place, nothing-superfluous quality of an old sailing ship . . . Another American look is the "Detroit" look. These designers have turned to the development of motorized jewelry, which has not only obscured the fundamental form of the automobile, but has begun to infect other types of products. To see what I mean, visit your local appliance dealer; many of the refrigerators and washing machines give you the feeling that you can drive them away. Henry Dreyfuss
