ALBUQUERUE, U>) — John
Edgar Hoover, Federal Bureau ot
Investigation director, says the
FBI “would never engage in any
activity which might result in
stifling academic freedom."
Hoover so declared in a letter
to Bob Lawrence, editor of the
University of New Mexico Lobo,
school newspaper.
The subject of this year's Na
tional Collegiate Debate is wheth
er the United States should extend
diplomatic recognition to the
Communist government of China.
The Lobo had quoted Dr. Wayne
C. Eubang, president of debate
honorary Tau Kappa Alpha, as
saying college debaters had been
warned they may have their
names included in FBI "raw files"
for upholding the question in de
bates.
“I can assure you that the FBI
has no interest whatsoever in col

wrote in the letter published yes

never engage in any activity that
might result in stifling academic

Air Force And Nanooks
Fall to Army, Merchants
In Last Game of 1st Half
The Army Bruins again showed
their superiority by defeating the
Air Force Jets last night at the
School gym 75-52. They combined
a brilliant offensive power of
shooting, passing and excellent
teamwork to break open the game
at the start.
The Bruins got the jump at the
start of the first quarter, making
it 13-6 in only four minutes of
play and the Jets were never able
to close the gap.
Doug Jackson, who played his
last game here for the Air Force
before leaving for Anchorage,
poured in 20 points for the losers
as did Roberts for the winners.
Quarters scores, all in favor of’
the Army were: 17-6, 41-20, 63-32,
and the final 75-52.
The High School Nanooks had a
hard time getting started in the
second game and succumbed to
the Merchants 46-41.
The Merchants showed their
best display of teamwork of the
season and won quite handily,
riding a comfortable lead most
of the game.
The Ullrich-coached five were a
determined team, however, and
fought down to the last second to
close the gap to five points.
Quarter scores were: 8-9, 24-15,
41-26, and 46-41.
Each team placed three men in
double figure scoring: For the
Nanooks—Willoya 18, Herman 11,
Bell 11: For the Merchants —
Longley 13, Kost 12, and H. Bell
10.
This game was the last of the
first half season schedule. There
will be a meeting of league of
ficials Thursday night at 7:30 at
the High School to determine the
schedule for the remainder of the
year.

pay to hold you guys up any
more.”
