President John A. Hannah of Michigan State University, chair of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, told the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges that public and private universities can and must spearhead the civil rights effort.

Pullano Jr. said a patched bubble was reinflated by Wednesday evening and did not collapse during the blaze.
