Ex Governor Bilbo Seeks Apology Over School Suspensions
Former Governor Theo G. Bilbo demanded an apology from the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools for suspending four state institutions during his administration. The four colleges were reinstated at the SACS meeting in New Orleans, Bilbo noting he waited to avoid embarrassing the schools. The drops stemmed from 1930 charges of political interference and involved Ole Miss, Mississippi State, M S C W, and State Teachers College at Hattiesburg. Delta State remained under a separate board before a spring reform placed all under one central board appointed by Governor Mike S Connor.
