250 Whites Will
Attend Negro Schools
Ebony Mog Soys
By Millicent Taylor In The
Christian Science Monitor
There has been much in the
newspapers about Negro students
entering certain colleges and
graduate schools in the southern
United States, and the progress in
overcoming racial discrimination
which is thereby being made. But
it is not generally known nor pub
licized that more and morg white
students have been entering Ne
gro colleges and graduate schools
and are studying and living there
on equal and harmonious terms
with the Negro students.
In an illuminating article in the
current issue of Ebony, we are
told that a record number of more
than 250 will attend a half dozen
Negro schools this autumn. Fur
thermore, in the history of some
of the institutions, this is nothing
new. Howard University in Wash
ington. D. C., has had white stu
dents ever since it was founded in
1867. with four of them its very
first entrants. Lincoln University
in Oxford, Pa., has had a white
student in almost every graduat
ing class since 1878, and has
graduated 115 white students al
together.
Some of the 250 white students
in Negro schools this year are
there because particularly inter
ested in studying minority prob
lems; other because they want
courses under certain distinguish
ed professors; still others because
they are exchange students or be
cause it seems the only way they
can get higher education. In parts
of the Deep South where segrega
tion is state law. white students
have not always been able to at
tend the schools openly, but most
get around the situation through
arranging for private teaching or
some such means.
Where the students openly at- '
tend, they live in the dormitories 1
and room with Negro students,
take part in the social life, play 1
on the athletic teams and every- I
thing else. Most of the white stu- 1
dents are from the North, and re
port no prejudice held, nor ex
perienced. One of the graduates of
Hampton, now teaching school in
New England, frequently enter
tains in his home some of the Ne
gro friends he made there while in 1
college. At Wilberforce State Col- 1
lege, a Finnish-American is a
star in the dramatic club. i
Oberlin, Grinnell, Antioch, and .
Willimantic Teachers College in <
Connecticut regularly exchange
students with Fisk and Hampton. ,
White graduates of Negro col
leges have been distinguished
alumni One became an Oak Ridge
atomic scientist. One has been a
registrar at Princeton. Another
was selected in 1944 as Amer ica’s
I outstanding rural minister. Dr.
Walter L. Wright Jr. who left
Lincoln in 1920, was later presi
dent of Robert College in Istan
bul.

Folks, Your Help Is Needed
Beginning today several thousand of your n»
gin a canvass of home, store and factory to solicit
funds for the continuance of the Community Chest and
Council. They need your help to put over this year’s
drive.
This yearly Red Feather campaign for funds de
serves the best financial support the individual citizen
can give it
In St. Paul, the Negro community is served
by three Red Feather agencies, the St. Paul Urban
League, the Hallie Q. Brown Community House and the
Crispus Attucks Home for the Aged. Each these
agencies furnish the community thousands of dollars
worth of services each year. They are supported almost
entirely by the funds which are raised each year in the
Red Feather fund campaigns.
Our Negro community receives services also from a
score of other agencies which are supported by Commun
ity Council and Chest funds. „
The principal manner in which all of us as grateful,
loyal citizens can help the programs of social welfare,
recreation and training which is represented by the Com
munity Chest is to give just as liberally as each of us
can, to put over this year’s financial drive.

BY BAILER THOMAS
Norman Unia (Jan at the
Philharmonic) who has made a
good thing out of exploiting top
Negro musicians, sprinkled with
a few whites, got considerable
impetus from the Negro Press
when he first started. Public ac
ceptance of his concerts have, we .
fear, made him forget the service
the Negro papers gave him before (
his productions became so pop
ular.
(Irani, who charges concert j
prices for his very economically
produced "concerts” complains
when he has to pay advertising
rates in the Negro press, com
mensuratr with the services ren
dered.
He doesn't mind making money
off Negro musicians or the pat
ronage of Negro music lovers, but
he wants to chisel the ad rates he
pays Negro papers down to a
splinter.

Editors Condemn
Lindquist Advocacy
Of Sen. McCarthy
The activities of Senator Joseph
McCarthy of Wisconsin were
branded as "utterly cowardly and
contemptible" by a group of Min
nesota editors this week.
Taking note of a speech by Min
nesota Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioner Leonard Lindquist
upholding McCarthy's activities as
being in U. e "Redblooded tradition
of AmerkMki politics", the editors
expressed dipt rose "that otherwise
respectable (htizens have shown a
willingness to use. for political ad
vantage, devic s and techniques
which vtolafp the basic principles
upon Which our system is based "
They charged that McCarthy
used hi* sanatoria! immunity for
"slandering puiocent and defense
less individuals ", that he used his
senatorial powers to “organize
boycotts and silence journalistic
and radio eritics" that he used his
position to "'slander, undermine
and destroy the experts and tech
nicians Upon whom we must de
pend to carry on the delicate work
of arranging our relationships
with the other nations of the
world.''
The statement quoted an opin
ion of the Wisconsin Supreme
Court holding that McCarthy had
“violated the terms of the con
■titution . . . violated the laws of
the state . . . violated his oath as
an attorney (and was) guilty of
an infraction of the moral code."

DESIRE FOR IGNORANCE
There is no doubt that a great majority
of white people in America would be pre
pared to give the Negro a substantially
better deal if they knew the fabts. But to
understand the difficulty Negroes have to
overcome to get publicity, we must never
forget the opportunistic desire for ignor
ance. It is so much more comfortable to
know as little as possible about Negroes
except that there are a lot of them In Har

out of life which white people are too civil
