Schools Vacant In Little Rock
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—(UPI)—All four of Little Rock's high schools closed today on orders of Gov. Orval E. Faubus who said they may stay closed until after a special Oct. 7 integration election.
The Arkansas governor said it is possible that Little Rock high schools, closed by him under a new state law, will remain vacant until a local referendum Oct. 7 on whether the citizenry wants integration or segregation in the schools.
The federal government announced they have no plan at the present time to seek court action compelling Faubus to open the schools. Observers believe the government is hoping Faubus will soon begin feeling internal pressure from parents who will begin to worry about the educational future of their children
May Lose School Credits
There are 3,470 students in the four Little Rock schools. Many students who are supposed to start their senior year this month have already applied to colleges for entrance next fall. It is possible that they will lose a whole year of school credits unless the schools are re-opened.
Central High School, the scene of last year's mob violence, was extremely peaceful this morning. Only a few curious spectators mixed with about 20 reporters and photographers on the scene.
State Police on Alert
Gov. Faubus said state police are on "tentative alert" and he will rush them to help city police in putting down any disorder that may arise.
Gov. Faubus said he called in the state police because the sending of 150 U.S. deputy marshals to Little Rock has whipped the people into "cold fury." Faubus said the state police may even help the U.S. marshals if they find themselves hard-pressed in a melee.
Audition for Play Today
Auditions for the University Theatre's productions of the 1958-59 season will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. today and Tuesday in the University Theatre in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
The University Theatre is seeking a wide variety of performers for this season. For the opening production, "Summer and Smoke," Jack Brooking, director, is looking for a Mexican dancing girl and an actor to play her father.
"The King and I" calls for singers, dancers and actors to portray the members of the Siamese court and their British visitors. Welsh peasants are needed for the Experimental Theatre production of Dylan Thomas' dramatic poem, "Under Milk Wood."
Three other productions, "An Italian Straw Hat," "Treasure Island," and "Naked," call for casts ranging from pirates to aristocracy.
