Those ', among thc Antioch College trustees 1who would do It are powerless, i Antioch College has been suspect ' for years. Notwithstanding the evi­ dence giving basis and support to > be suspicion with which Antioch has been regarded, no official ac­ tion worthy of the name has ever been taken to obtain the facts re­ garding the college. I t is true that * the presence of Communists on the 4faculties and In thc student bodlef residents of t Yellow Springs and Miami Township, Almost half of the 136 signers were either Antioch students or ,members of the Antioch staff. Many' of them are on the Antioch College faulty at this mo­ ment. « A former president of Antioch College hwnenled and objected to the abuse and exploitation of aca­ demic freedom at Antioch “by a very small but very active group whose Ideas and program of action are dlrialed by an organisation which repgpeents a foreign govern, ment whfch>hopes to undermine and to destroy American lnstltuthma and the AwerMa .government.” He was ImmadlatelyjLttacked by the Antioch Young Communist League because of his e ffo rt^ protect, the college end the tor«f*,ciUarae on its staff and inJta a RMRiber of a communist esptbnage ring was named to the Antioch faculty. In the face of all this and more, Antioch College has not been inves­ tigated by the Congress of the united a t * * . And one of the most revolting aspects of thc Antioch situation ie the feet that loyal students could have been and might now be made the Innocent and unwitting "stool pigeons” of enemy agents. (Editor's note: Tills is the first of a aeries of articles on the situa­ tion at Antioch College which has been the topic of much discussion and little action for almost two decades.) - Shoup had contended before the Board of Elections that the omission of Brannum’s name from thc ballot was "unlawful and unwarranted" and that the statute on which the board based its action was not ap­ plicable. Brannum will be opposed In the May 4th primary by a Miami Twp. man who was a signer of the pro- Communist (Wallace) Progressive Party nominating petitions a few years ago. BICYCLE AUCTION — Saturday at one o'clock an auction was held of approximately twenty bicycles and miscellaneous parts at the police station. Police Chief Russell Bradley acted as auctioneer and village manager Howard Rahoc acted as clerk. Part of the biclcles were unclaimed bicycles collected or left with the police. Thc proceeds from the sale of these went Into the police pension fund. The remainder were bicycles Antioch Collge had had In storage, The proceeds from these went to charity.
