(Political Advertisement) State License Investigator Fined on Traffic Charge Dismissal Of Picketing Prof 'Violation' WASHINGTON (AP) The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) voted official censure Friday against Lincoln Junior College, Lincoln, charging vio lation of academic freedom.

Although placing an institution on the censure list falls short of blackballing it, the primary purpose and effect is to discourage college teachers from accepting appointments there. The association voted to censure the school in annual convention here. Censure of Lincoln College re sulted from its refusal to renew the contract of Joseph W. Let- son, instructor of philosophy and religion, for the 1963-64 academic year. Letson, a member of the So ciety of Friends (Quakers) had picketed the U.S.

Post Office in Lincoln Oct. 27, 1962 to protest the Cuban blockade imposed by President John F. Kennedy the previous Mondav. The Lincoln College Board of Trustees acknowledged that this was Letson's legal and constitutional right, but said the action "did not reflect the dignity, judgment or respect for the institution which the college may rightfully expect of its instructors." The investigating committee of the AAUP said not renewing Letson contract constituted a violation of his academic freedom and was without the protection of due academic process, tion of due academic process. Contacted by the Pantagraph late Friday night, Dr.

Raymond Dooley, president of the College, said he had not heard about the censure. He declined to com ment until officially informed by the AAUP. Backfire Causes Pontiac Car Fire PONTIAC (PNS) A car belonging to Ronnie L. LoPic- calo, caught fire at 4:35 p.m. Friday.

Other than the organizational matters, the meeting included only one other item of action. That consisted in voting to al low the use of Sheridan School for a federally financed "head start" program this summer.

The board was responding to a request for the building put forth by Bloomington Normal Citizens School Readiness Summer Program, which is headed by Mrs. Richard Watts of 304 Bellview, Normal. Early Training The idea of the "head start" program, which qualifies under the 1964 federal Economic Opportunities Act for 90 per cent aid, is to give some "culturally disadvantaged" children intensive training prior to their regular entrance into kindergarten. The 12 member committee, containing a number of Bloomington and Illinois State University school people, reportedly envisionages a class of 15 youngsters attending half day sessions from June 28 to Aug. 13.

Working with the children would be a teacher, a social worker and from seven to 10 high school age volunteers. Use of the building will amount to a contribution of about $300 by the school board, since that will be the amount it InCUTS in lamtnr rncts pfr i IniS amount Can apply as a iu fcl vl ule total cost of the program which the local committee must cover. fered severe, permanent a jnful injurjes rf come.
