Night's Picketing Uneventful As Committee Sends Request For Cambridge League's Aid

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A joint meeting early next week of members from the University-wide Committee on Discrimination and the Cambridge Civic Unity League became a definite possibility yesterday, as preliminary steps to focus the attention of the two groups on the Club 100 were taken by the Committee.

Meanwhile, the second night of picketing the Club drew to a close at 1 o'clock this morning with no incidents of any sort reported during the six hour period. The line will be continued at least through Saturday night, after which time the Committee will decide whether or not to continue.

Request Made Tuesday

The meeting with the Civic Unity League was requested by the University-wide Committee at its meeting last Tuesday night. The request was relayed to the League's Executive Committee by Mrs. Betty Lopez, a member of the University group and Secretary to the Unity League.

The Civic Unity League, made up of 55 Cambridge citizens, operates out of the City Manager's office and is set up specifically to handle problems such as discrimination against racial groups. Members of the Executive Council of the League include Thomas Eliot '28, former Congressman, who also acts as the group's legal advisor.
