Mrs. Marietta Cephas of Pe
torsburg, Virginia, regional di

made the presentation at the
“Delta Christmas Party” in
Orangeburg and Attorney Earl
Coblyn of the Law School of
South Carolina State College

In her appeal to the members
of the sorority, Dr., Woods said

I olicernen turning fire hoses and
throwing tear gas on them,”
Dr. Woods said that the soro

students have been made. Bonds
up to S6OOO. have been demanded
of student demonstators by the
local courts and many have been
held without bond.
The organization's social ac
tion committee in Orangeburg.,
in a report to the sorority about 1
"our town,” said it was “a strong
hold for all right-wing causes.
Billboards, paid advertisements
and automobile stickers promo
ting the impeachment of Chief
Justice Earl Warren exemplify
the attitude of the white com
munity. Furthermore callous
white high school students
cheered the assassination of
President Kennedy. Although
Orangeburg really is not ‘our’
town at this point, we do ‘have
a dream.* Hence, we have inten
sified our efforts. Our selective
