The directors said the issue had been discussed informally, but that no definite plans have been made for the next board meeting, scheduled here April 2,7. Agendas for the meeting have not been compiled. The rumors indicate that coeds may be admitted into the gradu ate school next September, with the admission of day student girls to follow soon afterward. Plans for housing coeds on campus have reportedly not been discussed. Any decision by the board on the issue will be final. According to two reliable sourc es in the athletic department, Rogers was told to resign or be fired without recommendations from the school. News of the resignation was confirmed Friday as Athletic Di rector Hank Foldberg immediate ly named former assistant Shel by Metcalf to the head coach posi tion. A replacement for Metcalf has not been named. Reports Indicate Rogers Pressured The Battalion learned Monday that basketball coach Bob Rogers did not resign voluntarily. The popular Cadet mentor submitted his resignation last Thursday. Slate Shows Big Jump In Tourists Top Dallas Coach Would Like Job Basketball coach Archie Porter of Dallas Thomas Jeffei’son con firmed Wednesday night that he is a top candidate for the assist ant coach position vacated by Shelby Metcalf. Speaking to The Battalion’s sports staff by tele phone, Porter said he would be happy to get the job and hoped an agreement could be reached. Porter, 38, coached Thomas Jef ferson to the state Class 4-A championship in 1962 after a second place finish in 1959. His talented crew placed third in this year’s state tournament and had a 35-3 overall record. Confirmation of Porter’s ap pointment would have to come from Athletic Director Hank Foldberg and the Athletic Coun cil.

QUEEN DOUBLE FEATURE “WATUSI” & “MASSACRE” (Both In Color) Tribal Hatred LEOPOLDVILLE, the Congo DP) — A blockade on food enter ing the Congo capital, im posed by the neighboring central Congo province, has raised tribal hatreds to fever.point. Europeans and Africans alike fear a spark may touch off hunger riots. Control of Leopoldville is part of the picture. The central Congo province, created last summer as a stronghold for the Bakongo tribe living between Leopoldville and the Atlantic Ocean, claims the city as its bailiwick. Premier Cyrille Adoula and his govern ment last November neutralized the city as a nontribal federal capital for the Congo. “We are suffering,” say Congo lese from the townships. Normal ly loath to share their troubles with Europeans, they have had their tongues lessened by hunger. The number of sad-eyed begging in the streets has Inultiplied. The blockade deprives Leopold ville markets of most fresh vege tables, fruit and manioc, the starchy root that makes up the bulk of the Congolese diet.
