Roof Caves In After Basketball Ruins Auditorium Ceiling
In Carson City the city auditorium roof collapsed after tenants complained of loud basketball thumps from the basement to the upper floor. No injuries were reported though books and equipment were damaged. City manager Henry Etchemendy blamed the winter league for weakening the 30 year old floor. In New York, Charles Davis, ex priest turned theologian, argues in A Question of Conscience that Rome must modernize to energize social involvement. He cites outdated structure as stifling priests and obscuring truth.
