Description

The opening speaks about the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Scholarship Fund, put in place to help welcome more students of color to the Wooster campus. Students have become increasingly concerned about the dominance of white, anglo-saxon students at the school. Two photographs illustrate student and administration concerns with the paths students make through the landscaping. With elections coming up, the Student Government Association is looking forward to a new a board. There is a new coffee house planned for the campus. The Voice applauds the focus on the Lincoln Memorial Scholarship fund, as there are currently only 12 "Negro" [sic] students attending the school. A student columnist reflects upon the current governmental situation in Ghana. Nkrumah was recently ousted. This situation is compared and contrasted with additional recent political unrest in Africa. The Wooster wrestling team did well at the recent Ohio Conference Championships. There is an advertisement for an upcoming performance by the Supremes at Denison University Gymnasium. President Lowry writes a piece praising the survival of the small liberal arts college. There is a large advertisement for flights with Eastern Airlines.
