FEBRUARY 8. 1956 The motion was introduced at a gathering of the university’s approximately 400 instructors, the second called since violent demonstrations against the uni versity’s first Negro student. Autherine Lucy was excluded from classes “until further no tice” by the board of trustees as a safety measure last night. To day she threatened legal action if not readmitted in 48 hours. Outsiders Blamed The faculty voted on the reso lution after Dr. O. C. Carmichael, university president, explained the board’s action. He said out siders who “invaded our campus” were “largely responsible for the resulting disorder.” He said the board “dared not postpone action lest greater violence” should fol low. Carmichael moved adjourn ment but Asst. Political Science Prof. Charles D. Farris objected, saying, “I can see no reason why the faculty should be compelled to agree with the action of the board of trustees.” Offers Resolution Farris offered a resolution ask ing the faculty to condemn “mob rule” at the school. The resolu tion said the university cannot continue to operate under such conditions with threats to faculty and students, and asked for civil or military protection for them. The instructor Said the resolu tion called for the university to suspend operations if these con ditions could not be provided. Resolution Defeated When Dr. Carmichael called for a vote there was both a loud chorus of "aye” and "no.” He ruled the resolution was defeated by voice vote. Prof. Fred Ogden asked “why police protection had not been more adequate at this time.” He also is a member of the political science department. Art Prof. Lawrence Calcagno said he wanted to express the personal feeling that “our uni versity has. succumbed to mob rule.” Christie Group to Ploy At Grad Dance-Mixer Cupids and hearts will decorate the walls of the Hetzel Union ball room from 9 to 12 Friday during the Graduate Student Dance- Mixer.

However, the appeal for this sort of magazine is not so widespread as that of a humor magazine like Froth, she said. Other literary attempts in the last decade, in spite of their gen uine literary merit, have been marked with financial failure, none apparently in the black con sistently longer than one year.
