Some 30 "friends of Don Pratt
and Joseph Mulloy" celebrated
their Easter Sunday with a public demonstration in front of the
Jefferson County Jail in Louisville, Kentucky protesting Pratt's
and Mr. Mulloy's confinement
in the jail and their bail.
Pratt and Mr. Mulloy were
convicted earlier this month for
refusing induction into military
service. Both were given the maximum sentence of five years and
a $10,000 fine.
The demonstrators said they
were against the high bail set
for Pratt and Mr. Mulloy. Both
are being held while their cases
are under appeal. To be freed
while their cases are under appeal they would each have to
pay the $2,000 bail and the
$10,000 fine. Robert Sedler, a
UK professor of law who is handling the cases is supposed to
file a motion today asking for a
lowering of the bail.
Singing "He's Got the Whole
World in His Hands" the demonstrators marched back and
forth in front of the jail carrying
signs reading "We shall not be

Wendell Berry, Associate Professor of English at UK, and Jim
Stacy, a UK graduate student
were among the demonstrators.
Several other UK students also
took part.
An elderly woman said she
was marching with the demonstrators because "I am a friend
and strong supporter of Don and
Joe. I promised the Lord years
ago that if He would bring my
son home safe from Korea I would
do what I could to bring other
sons home."
A few cars stopped briefly to

watch the demonstration but

quickly moved on. Police passed
frequently but none stopped as
the marchers passed the steps of

The literature collected includes instructions for making

Negro Groups In Riot Areas UrgeCool

In Chicago, two Negro south

normally violent rivals whose
ranks contain men with prison
records, made a pact to help
keep peace in their neighbor-IkkmI-

"We live here," one gang
leader said. "There's no sense
burning it down."
In Baltimore, Negro youth volunteers cruised along debris-strew- n
slum streets with signs
on their cars exhorting: "That's
enough, baby, stop it!"
In San Francisco, the phone
rang in the Youth for Service
office, and after a few quick

Cool it baby!
The words rang through cities
from coast to coast during the
past 10 days, from Washington's
burned-ou- t
blocks and Baltimore's shattered store fronts to
an uneasy but peaceful Fillmore
street in San Francisco. And in
cities where mayors, police and
civil leaders had set up joint

said.
He cited a "Youth Phenomena" as ignitingthetrouble. "It's
a sort of gladiator attitude these
young Negroes have. They feel
they are not afraid to die and
are dedicated to helping themselves.
Kids Most Active
"The most active, most energetic, most unihibited ones are
these kids," he said. "They are

members of the security patrol,

peace in the Roxbury and North

The patrols, wearing white
armbands and in specially-markecars are largely the work
of the young allienace and volunteers recruited by the New
England Crass Roots Organization (NEGRO).
Armed only with walkie-talkiethe volunteers steered troublemakers away from tense areas
and also provided community
services such as bringing food
to mothers with youngsters afraid
to go into tlie streets.
"I have nothing but the highest praise for them," said Boston

Polling Places

Since the building of the Complex, election committees have real izcxl that there is no one central
location on campus in which to
place a voting station. Instead there
is a need for at least two polling
places, one north and one south.
There is also a need for these
two or more voting stations to be
officially decided upon and these
stations to be used uniformly thereafter. It is evident that when polling places are randomly selected
only a few days before an
election students will be
for the most part uninformed as to
the places.
Until last Friday, the L.K.D.
Committee had decided to place
only one polling place on campus
in the Student Center. A few
students found this out and brought
their complaints to the L.K.D.
Committee, which then conceded
to place another polling station in
the Chemistry-Physic- s
Building.

said,
"We don't want another Homecoming Queen election; it was a
farce."

The L.K.D. Committee, as Mr.
Southard has pointed out, has the
responsibility of working with approximately $36,000 this year. Yet
a far greater responsibility of any
student planning committee is
working responsibly with and for
the students who have contributed,
through their student fees, to make
such a gala weekend possible.
If there is to be any real contest at all, be it a queen contest
or a student government election,
official polling places must be designated as quickly as possible. It
would seem that for the coming
L.K.D. Queen election a polling
place should be established in the
