Griswold Appointed To Mystery Position

Crimson type: "I understand that President Kennedy has appointed you to the Civil Rights Commission. Is that right?"

Erwin N. Griswold, Dean of the Law School: "Yes, that's right."

"Could you tell me what the appointment will involve?"

"It is part-time."

"Could you give me a brief description of the Commission?"

"I don't want to give you an elementary civics lesson."

"Well, where can I find out about its purpose?"

"Try Widener."

"But I've got two other stories to write tonight and have work to do. Could you help me?"

"Well, if you are not qualified to interview a Civil Rights Commission appointee, you ought to have someone else do it. I can answer questions about myself."

"Thank you, sir."

"Not at all."
