MANZANAR, Calif., Wednesday, October 12 -- After having postponed the beginning of school for about a week due to the absence of their final transcripts, the Bainbridge High School students here were finally enrolled in Manzanar High School this week. Their transcripts arrived Thursday.

(Editor's note--School officials at Winslow are puzzled by this report. Transcripts were mailed "long ago," they said.)

Approximately 30 students from Bainbridge will be enrolled in the junior and senior high schools.

Many of those who attended came back with reports of the severe handicaps under which the Caucasian teaching staff had to labor--the absence of desks and chairs, the crowded and uncomfortable conditions, the lack of necessary school supplies, and the lack of Caucasian teachers.� This latter made it necessary to augment the staff with qualified young nisei college graduates and college students.

Because of the lack of heating and other conditions, the schools are closed on cold and windy days.
