PULLMAN (Special) -- Thre,
Washington State University stu-I
dents are spending their summer
vacation doing civil rights work
in two areas of the South. Molly
Murdey, Shelton, is one of the
three.
One of them, Richard Swanson
of Seattle, returned to the same
place he worked last summer
when he stayed in the home of
Tom Chaney, one of the three
civil rights workers killed near
Philadelphia, Miss. He is a gradu-
ate student in history.
The other two are Patriots
Sands, a junior psychology major
from Ketchum, Idaho, and Molly
Murdey, a sophomore sociology
student from Shelton. Both are
working in Voter registratlon
drives in Americus, Go. Molly is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walt
Elliot, Shelton.
Several letters to friends back
in Pullman from the trio provide
a revealing insight into the chang-
ing attitudes of Southern Negroes
and whites,
Writihg to Rev. Geoi'ge Mink,
Methodist campus minister, Miss
Murdey describes her feelings
about civil rights work.
"THE WORK is very nard~, often
exhausting, and sometimes dis-
couraging; but it's wonderful. We
are living in homes in the Negro
community and spend much of our
time working on voter registration.
We are also working with the
SNCC (Student Non-Violent Coor-
dinating Committee) group here in
town on mass meetings, a news-
paper, and the freedom school.
We ve certainly met many fascin-
ating people.
"It's a completely different
world here ~ suddenly police and
sheriffs are not people to help, but
are people that are feared and
avoided at all costs. Both Pat and
I are glad to be here. I'm sure
I'm learning more in one summer
than in a year of college."
All three have been involved in
incidents. Swanson was picked up
with 400 other demonstrators in
Jackson, Miss., and spent 10 days
in what he called The Jackson
compound," and Miss Sands and
Miss Murdey were both in a car
which was attacked by a group
of white southerners. One of the
girls was injured.
Miss Sands, in a letter to her
roommate at WSU, tells her ver-
sion of two incidents at one of the
parks:
"The day we arrived in Amer-
icus, a Negro boy was shot in the
leg by two white boys. There was
a Sunday school picnic held out
at a state park at Lake Blackshear.
The park had never been integrat-
ed before, so the crackers got mad
and shot the boy while he was on~
the way home. The sheriff was l
notified and given the information,
but he's done nothing at all about
it. He didn't even go out to talk
to the boy's parents or investi-
i gate in any way.

out in the country and then went

in the back seat and they neared
the car. One fellow smashed out
the tail lights with a billy club.
Jim came over to the car and
they returned what was left of his
camera. As he got in the car they
smashed in the back window and
the left rear window. Molly's arm
was cut and we both got glass all
over us.
"As we were driving out of the
park, the whites started throwing
bricks and bottles at us. The Ne-
gro boys in a couple of cars got
out and started throwing them
back. The whites fired five or six
shots into the Negro group. Luck- BIGGEST

criptions of two of the boys and
several license plate numbers. We
thought we filed a complaint with
the sheriff, but found out later
that he said no complaint had been
filed. {The sheriff's son was among
the white group.)"
About the work in general, Miss
Sands wrote: "We've gotten seve-
ral people to help us and we're
making some progress. The big-
gest obstacle we've run into is
fear on the part of the people.
They're afraid of losing their jobs
and of brutality from the police
and the white community.
