  2. More than 50 angry parents showed up last night at the monthly board of education meeting to protest the action of the school superintendent on physical education classes.

The superintendent, Ruth Passenger, had ordered a halt in interscholastic high school basketball games. She said recent brawls at the games "endangered safety and damaged the school system's reputation."

Parents urged the board to take other means to cope with the situation, and after an hour's discussion, the board voted unanimously to rescind Passenger's decision.
