Naturally, the reunion was indeed
happy one, fraught with many pleas

WANT NO DORMITORY
IRISH JIG
By Cecil E. Newman

We are against the proposed $780,
900 University of Minnesota dormi-
tory. We are glad to see so many
other citizens and organizations
against it. Our reason for not IA
voring the project is perhaps selfish.
We remember that Pioneer Hall, the
mems dormitory, with capacity of
256 students, occupied in 1881, built
by taxpayers money, was unlawful
ly closed to Negro student, son of
distinguished Washington, D. c.,
family. The humiliating part of the
disgraceful affair was the fact that
the youth was accepted by letter, and
moved into the dorm on his arrival
in Minneapolis. Returning to Pioneer
Hall after a trip downtown on the
day of his arrival the student found
his trunk and belongings in the base
ment, and the party in charge told
him he could not sleep in the build
ing because of his race. Nothing was
ever done about the affair. Lotus
Coffman, president of the school,
evaded the issues in the case, and it
was finally quieted down. Pioneer Hall
was not crowded during that year or
last year-in fact, it was Is per cent
vacant. AS long as public institutions
built by public moneys are to be con.

The university is located so that
it is easily accessible to students from
all parts of the city. From the num-
Der of "rooms for rent" signs we
have noticed in the neighborhood of
the school, there is no lack of hous-
ing facilities in the "U'' district. So,
no additional dormitory is needed.
