Nickell Fails in Peace Formula Try at Paris
Paris Illinois May 17 UP two warring factions of the Paris school board remained deadlocked after Vernon Nickell state superintendent tried to find a peace formula. Nickell met with the board for three hours and could not secure agreement to transact business or pay teachers. The Eve land controversy centers on former coach Ernie Eveland whose dismissal sparked an injunction later set aside by the state appellate court. With a 3 to 3 split neither side would accept the presidency, delaying salaries and the April paychecks. Nickell suggested a half year presidency for each side, which was rejected, and he indicated the possibility of dissolving the board and calling an election to break the deadlock.
