Arkansas Supreme Court Forces School Election Change
The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled Monday that Little Rock School Board members defeated in a recent election could pursue post election remedies. The justices said delaying a regular election to study a late case was improper and overruled circuit judge Tom Digby, forcing the election. The 1967 legislature had moved school elections from September to March, contradicting the attorney general’s view that incumbents served until September.

Impossible to Raise Art Center Cash
William F. Rector said it would be impossible to raise the $130,000 needed for the Arkansas Arts Center without Little Rock help. He asked the City Manager Board for a $50,000 city contribution as Gov. Rockefeller and his wife would match the amount if raised, to sustain a $450,000 operating budget for 1968. Rector warned the center could close if funds are not forthcoming, calling the effort an almost insurmountable job for the community.
