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. ~--"bast ~unday, we went to church out in the country and then went Seattle High Group • Makes Reunion Plans The 16th annual reunion of the Broadway Higtl School Alumni As- sociation of Seattle has been set AutoParts Of for CARS, & Over-Night Service on those on to the lake.

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 ily no one Was hurt. "We went back to Cordele With UNDER THE SUN! the rest of the group because they were after our car.

We couldn't get the JUstice of the Peace to swear out warrants for us. We had good des- 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. "There is almost no Negro I leadership and no organization I among them.
