LAKE CITY (AP)- TherY ate two new faces- black faces in a sea of white the famed 375-voice Mormon Tabernacle Choir. For the first time in more than 50 years the 122-year-old choir has two Negro members. Both are converts to the Mormon Church.

One, Mrs. Wynetta Martin, sang with the choir for the first time Jan. 22 at funeral services for the church's year-old president, David 0. McKay. The second.

Marilyn Yuille, auditioned for choir director Richard P. Condie in December and sang at her first performance two days later.

Miss Yuille is a graduate student in music at the University of Utah and has a music teaching certificate. Mrs. Martin, mother of two daughters, has been employed as a clerk-typist.

One coed strode to the dias, seized a microphone and lectured the 1,000 stunned guests for three minutes on the plight of women at Yale- contending that coeds were overcrowded and outnumbered and that coeducation at Yale was a "myth." As she spoke, other coeds in the obviously well-planned demonstration marched among the tables of alumni diners carrying signs reading, "End Women's Oppression," and "Women Up Worn Under." THc alumni and their wives, clad in business suits and cocktail dresses for the quiet formality" of the- occasion, gaped in amazement at the protesters, most of whom wore blue jeans, sweaters and jackets.

"That's apparently the way young ladies do things today, the wife of one alumnus commented.
