Vandals Strike Unfinished Dormitory By KAKI HOWARD Four male WCU students are facing charges of vandalism in connection with the Sunday night paint spraying fo the uncompleted women's dormitory, says Dean of Men, Dr. Douglas Davis. The three freshmen and one junior involved reportedly used a can of white spray paint to spray "Q. and B. Night Riders" on the front of the dorm. Due to the type brick used on the building, the section may have to be replaced since there is no available way to clean the brick, says a representative of the Dickerson Construction Company. The students will not be charged with damaging state property since the dormitory has not been turned over to the state. However, the construction company will probably reach a decision on what action it will take by Saturday. "What action WCU takes will be determined by what action the company takes," says Dean Davis, "These students committed this act without realizing the seriousness involved," continued Davis, "I have recommended they seek legal counsel." The names of the men are being withheld by their own request Law School Admission Tests Are Announced The Law School Admission Test required of candidates for admission to most American Law Schools will be given at more than 250 centers throughout the nation on Nov. 9, 1968, Feb. 8, 1969, April 12, 1969, and Aug. 2, 1969.
