educational?officiate.? ~
The - State Do part mem of Edu- I

I have been made available to Prestdent

st+roors problems ana shortcomings. "
One Department of Education official
made it clear this^week that
"We don't want to do anything to
hurt or discredit this fine college, i
We need it and every service it offers.

HrrrlE College Is now on tu pro- baclonal

are pointed to in the report of the

up or remove itsfH entirely..

'The principal fault- we have ob- ;
served with Morris," one official j
said. T,is that the college seenls willing
only to do what it is prodded in- j
to doing. '"We will receive and nr- *
