A student stated he saw an of ficer with his badge taped in police headquarters. Snipes said, "if an officer tapes his badge, he shouldn't be allowed to work with law enforcement." One student asked Capt. Snipes why the DeSoto Hotel has not been closed down. Snipes commented that the DeSoto was a "licensed place of business," and that it had been raided 26 times. Snipes then explained that city police officers were paid $6,230 a year and that it was becoming difficult to find good officers. "And it is just as hard to find black officers as white. We do not practice discrimination," he said. When asked to comment on the "no knock law," Capt. Snipes said, "I don't like that law. You're going to have a lot of policemen killed." Lydon drew scattered applause when he said "if someone breaks into your home, and you don't know whether he is a burglar or an officer, you have the right to shoot him." The discussion then turned to the events of last May. Snipes said that he regretted the rock throwing incident by police and students. Snipes said that the officers involved in the rock throwing were given demerits. When questioned about demerits, he explained that when an officer receives ten demerits, he is up for suspension. Snipes also explained that If an officer were "in hot pursuit" of a subject, he could legally enter the dorms, as allegedly happened last May.

Sumter and College street In tersection to avoid the rfan, but he walked beside her and asked If a nearby bar was open. The girl replied she didn't know.

The man fled the scene In a nearby car. Sunday afternoon neither Snipes nor George Key, director of campus security, were available for comment Student Govei Sparse Many of the 100 spectators were 'themselves candidates. Only 17 people remained at the end of the debates. Jim Stewart, elections com mission chairman said, "I think that the candidates who stuck around to listen to them have a very good idea of who they're going to vote for. "It greatly disturbed me that candidates left when they said they are so interested and talked about the apathy of the student body." Stewart said. Stewart attributed the small turnout to inadequate publicity. He said that only freshmen received enough notification. "We were pushed for time as usual. People did not know about debates and when they did there was a failure to communicate," he said. Stewart said that Sunday af ternoon was a poor time to schedule debates because many students are still away -for the weekend. "I think that people generally don't come to things," he said. "People don't come to pep rallies and class meetings." Candidates for freshman offices called for class unity, involvement, power and communication. Presidential candidate Tom Spratt said, "If I'm elected I'm going to put power in this office. I've got the Lord on my side."

"Apathy comes not from dull members, but from bad leaders." was a key to each lab session, and for many the retreat was a weekend of self-examination. Group paintings, prearranged conflicts and an abundance of conversation helped cement each group of eight into a unit.

The th classes do not have to be solely as literacy subjects, they can be on th anything that the people want. The project is now sponsoring a class in sewing that has an enrollment of2 su women at varying levels of D proficiency. It is being taught by a an home economics teacher from E Booker T. Washington school and fo two of the learning catalysts. ye Classes that are being planned Eo for the future are first aid, typing do and consumer education.
