Cobb said that there were seven holder student committee members, but that he hadn't contacted all of them to see whether they wanted to continue to serve on committee. He said the committee committee members will determine the number of new students to be appointed. he said.

Ford, Carter court ethnic votes
After a day of attacks on each other's records, the two candidates spoke at a dinner of the Italian-American Foundation in New York to urge the advancement of communism in Italy.
"We've been hearing a lot about the new character of some Communist parties in Western Europe," he said. "Lest we rest止 to this beguiling message, I remind you that the Communists share a message from the Communist parties in Eastern Europe after World War II."
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Ford and Jimmy Carter, accusing each other of promising far more than they are likely to produce, nearly met yesterday as they hunted votes among ethnic groups. They missed each by about 45 minutes.
He flew to Baltimore, where he walked through an Italian working-class neighborhood. From there he came to Washington, where he met with Greek-Americans while Ford attended the Italian-American dinner in the same hotel.

Carter called for an end to "quiet discrimination" and Italian-American and Asian groups.
He called it "unfair that a group that has produced leaders like the four men honored here tonight has never had a justice of the Superme Court."
