LC Pilot Groups Student Teach On Trial Basis Longwood College has made arrangements with the Richmond public sehool authorities to have Student teaching on a trial basis in that city. Student teaching in Richmond is limited to those girls who can provide their own transportation and living quarters. Summer School This summer four girls will teach at the secondary level for eight weeks at John Marshal!. George Wythe, or Thomas Jefferson High School. During this eight week period they will cover a year's work. Because so much ground mu.-t be covered, girls doing their student teaching in the Richmond summer schools must feel confident about their subject matter. Pilot (iroup If the summer session proves profitable, ten girls in February, 1962, will be sent to teach on both the elementary and secondary levels. This group will be considered a pilot group In seeing how problems in establish ing a student teaching program turn out. Upon the succe.s.- of the pilot group, fifteen girls will he sen' to Richmond In each student teaching block beginning September, 11162. The same provisions will be made for those girls as are being made for the summer session and pilot groups. other colleges which already use Richmond public schools for their student teaching program* ii w.-sthampton, RPI, University of Richmond, and Duke.

The following students have presented their views on a recent article on Prince Edward County in The Saturday Evening Pott. Brenda Isbel, a freshman from Portsmouth, made the following remarks. "In my opinion, the article "Public Schools Died Here" which was recently published in I'nst magazine is very informative. In most instances the facts preappear to be accurate but close comparison of with other sources indicates slight discrepancies In the statistics used by the author. "The author's approach to the subject is somewhat confusing. Although the article is definitely to be slanted In both directions. This is, 1 believe, an attempt to achieve some degree of objectivity. However, the conscientious reader detects this ami therefori the effectiveness of the method is destroj ed, "The author seems to have skillfully veiled the fads through his techique of slanting so that they will give the reader the impression he desires. Therefore the reader must be concerned nol only with a consideration of the accuracy of the facts but also with the manner in which the facts are presented. in question will be interpreted differently by each individual who reads it. liecause the ^ j~J f p^OFESSM?, I H0TUXV T*'SUHOSOfS autl i ed the article it becomes the responsit^oatioru1 CAMPUS ts£ M&r ayjzzzv WITH <3I£L6.// bility of the reader to evaluate the article for himself and dec de whether the facts have been misrepresented through fa se reflections and misrepresentation."

The Inited States Justice Department la.-t Wednesday asked for a federal court order to bar state support of any public schools in Virginia until Prince Edward county schools are reopened on a racially non-discriminatory basis. The petition asked for court orders restraining the non-maintenance of free and public schools in Prince Edward county and the legality of tuition grant- for students attending the privately operated school for whites, the Prince Edward Academy. The petition also requested that tax credit for contributions to the Prince Edward Foundation not be allowed and another plea against the unconstitutlonality in allowing county officials to circumvent the federal court orders. The government called such actions 'unlawful circumvention of such decree.' Attorney - General Kennedy said, "We have brought this action to protect the integrity of the Judical proce ■ of the United States."
