Favor and Contra College Resident Center Taos
Highlands University's plan to open a College Resident Center in Taos draws strong local support. Hundreds fill questionnaires as the Education Board approves night classes, forms a permanent board, and begins accepting applications. Residents see benefits for local youths, with curriculum shaped by student interest and family ties preserved. A September kickoff is anticipated, with hopes for a full daytime program later.

Public Forum on Fiesta Queen Corsage Selection
Taos shopkeepers report eight identical corsages made after the Fiesta Queen dance with a queen, an alternate, and a blank card placed in each. Corsages were grouped into Indian, Anglo, and Spanish sets but not labeled by group and were sealed in tamper-proof boxes. The supplier delivered them to Casa Loma Lounge at 9 p.m. noting no prior contact with contestants and asserting the process was aboveboard.
