University Safety Director George Marshall was at the scene and he attributed the accident to driving conditions he described as the "worst possible." "The light rain that fell all day brings the oil to the surface of the road," explained Marshall, "and withthe leaves all over at this time of year the road can become as slick as ice.

"'"~ J Employee Assails Lackmann Rap Brown Freed - a Rap Brown, the fiery advocate of militant black action in the 1960s, was freed yesterday after the last federal charges against him were dismissed by a federal court in New Orleans. It was the first time in nearly five years that Brown was out oi' prison, and the first time in nine years that he did not face federal charges. The Justice Department in Washington confirmed Brown was released from custody in Brooklyn, where he had been taken by federal authorities after being paroled earlier from a state prison in Stormnville, N.Y. The officials were preparing to transfer him to New Orleans for a new trial on a federal gun charge originally lodged in 1967, but a U.S. District Court judge there dropped the charges on the recommendation of U.S. Atty. Gerald Gallinghouse.
