New Survey
To Secure
Negro Data

Minneapolis and st. Paul have
been selected by the United States
Department of the Interior, Office
of Education, Washington, D. c.,
as two of the one hundred and fifty
communities in which survey is
being made of the opportunities
and facilities for vocational guild
ance and vocational education for
Negroes.
The survey includes studying the
curricula, methods of teaching,
housing and equipment of the vari-
Gus institutions of higher learning,
high schools, evening schools, pro-
prietary and private schools, and
non-school agencies which offer vo-
cational and pre-vocational training
to Negroes.
One of the important phases of
the survey includes personal visits,
and interviewing present students,
graduates and drop-outs of high
schools from 1925 to 1886, with re-
gard to their vocational placement.
The three interviewers on this prof.
ect are Miss Anne P. Horris and
Andrew Owens in Minneapolis and
Miss Annie Foster of st, Paul,

Personalities
BY Nell Dodsou

was mixture or gals In shorts,
good food, romance, baseball games
and generally hectic time. Every
body went climbing over the rocks
and dales up at Taylors Falls, and
from what I hear, lot of the
grandmas and grandpas were a bit
stiff in the joints the next day.
Grandma Dodson was, anyhow.
Dick Mann distinguished himself
nobly by having four helpings of
ice cream and cake all on one plate.
He sat on some steps and dared
anybody to come within five feet
of him. And the guy didn't even
get a stomach ache! incidentally,
Dick brought Cordy Freeman to
the picnic. 8. Cordy looked very
cute in yellow figured culottes. :. F.. :.
Ed Doty got playful while Sonny
Berry was helping Auntie down off
a big rock and for awhile it looked
as if Doty, Berry and Dodson were
all headed for the st. Croix river
way down below. Ollie Grant
ham had to rescue Dot Gardner
from a rock in the middle of
stream or somethin'. Anyhow he
had to rescue her from some place.
-. A battery of cameras clicked
constantly and some of the pictures
are knockout. Especially the one
Louneer Pemberton has of Cora
Belle Banks with her back to the
camera. .. Johnny Armstead has
new special high speed gears in
his car and on the way up to the
Falls he made 100 miles per. The
folks in his party said my, my, my.
I'd have said let me out of this
buggy. jeff Anderson must
have been in on every picture TAX
en-. That guy sure gets around. {.
Els Bradley was doing sepia imi-
tation of a Roman noble lady with
a clover wreath in her hair. It
was all right until the clovers be-
gan to look kinda beat. I. The
folks in Taylor's Falls town didn't
know what to think, what with all
those cullud gals and lads running
all over the place. Most of the
tourists were paying more atten-
ton to us than they were to sight
seeing.
Record of the Week-Here and
There:
Had dinner together: Vida
Parker and Clyde Briggs, the Uni
versity of Iowa track man who was
up here for the Olympic try-outs.
The Most Attractive Smile: Be-
longed to Fritz Pollard, Jr., the
North Dakota University track
man also here for the Olympic
try-outs.
Married since January: Howard
Barksdale and Ruth Cromer of
Evanston and Fisk "U".
Latest Romance: Jimmy Porter
and Katherine Davis.
Interesting summer school coed:
Lottie Young from Tuskegee In
stitute and Daytona Beach, Flori-
da.
Had boy friend here from out
of-town: Charlottine Moore.
The Kappa party brought out
many new faces and visiting party
goers. Also the usual Kappa spirit.
June and Cliff Hawkins had
their Mother out and she seemed
to be enjoying herself great deal.
More of the parents should step
out once in awhile and see how nice
all the young people look when
they're logged in party clothes. :.

MUDDLED POLICY
SEEN IN ETHIOPIA
Italy May Find Tigre Has
Become Center of Resist.
ance, Is View.

MANCHESTER, England. November
q N.A.N.A.).-Italy's new empire in
Ethiopia Is at present showing the
results of "muddled policy" accord
ing to q staff correspondent of the
Manchester Guardian, who has just
returned from the African country.
Unless Italy can successfully pacify
and colonize Tigre, the province
bordering on Eritrea, the British
writer concludes that this province
will become the cradle of all future
resistance IN Ethiopia. Tigre, he
points out. has been the gateway into
Ethiopia for civilizations, religions
and political systems since earliest
times. The correspondent continues:
In Tigre, as elsewhere, a quantity
Of well-intentioned DEGREES have been
issued, on administrative, economic,
sanitary and educational matters, but,
as in the rest of Ethiopia, they have
had no practical effect; purely mill
tary measures and considerations take
up the whole field. The adminiStra-
ton is strikingly full of inconsistent
cies, and one gains the impression
that any sound policy based on ex-
perience has constantly to contend
with Fascist dogmaS, military rule,
pressure from the Catholic Church
and similar influences.
No Settled Plan.
Thus there seems to be no settled
plan-at one moment the Coptic
clergy are played off against their
own prelates or temporal authorities
at another small chiefs against great
ones, at another the Amharic against
the Tigre tribes, and especially, when
ever possible. Islam against the
church of the country Only the
future can reveal whether this is a
well-inspired policy. The Coptic
priesthood is not an attractive body,
but there can hardly be any question
that to treat it with patronizing con-
tempt is only to raise influential
enemies.
1T Is also unpleasant to see q fever
ish search still carried on for the
participants in the attack of six
months ago on the Gondrand labor
camp.
Eighty Italian workmen had been
brought with an engineer and his wife
about dozen miles within the newly
conquered territory of Tigre and left
there, without arms or military pro-
lection, to work on the road to Adowa,
though it was impossible not to know
that the region was full of fugitive
Ethiopians and marauders. The in
evitable happened. One night the
camp was raided and the whole of It's
members exterminated.
Scapegoats Still Sought.
ut is difficult to say which is the
more incomprehensible. the reckless
optimism with which responsible
authorities sent the unfortunate VIC
Tins to their fate or the vengefulness
that still seeks further scapegoats,
many months after the event and its
first and exceedingly sanguinary pun
ishment. And is this likely to be the
best way to establish authority In
Tigre?
Another awkward matter is the
Evening star., 1936-11-22

fact that in Tigre especially, in face
of the experience Of its neighbor
Eritrea, there are great expectations
from the new masters, and all that
material and techical progress with
which the Italians, for special reasons
and in the course Of many years work,
have endowed their old colony, at
huge expense, is imagined now to be
promptly forthcoming. Has Italy the
capital to devote to its new empire,
or even to Tigre. in such abundance?
Relations between the white and
coIored races in Eritrea are incon-
testably friendly, on the surface at all
events. The members of the Tigre
tribes living in the territory adjoin-
ing Ethiopia have intermarried freely
in the towns with non-Ethiopian Mo-
hammedans, and have readily availed
themselves of the material advantages
of an administration which is indif-
ferent to economic aspects and has
had simply to work for the establish
ment OF a colony as matter OF
prestige and basis for future plans.
Ethiopians Are Loyal.
"The Ethiopians who have long
been in. the service of a white en-
ployer will defend him even against
their own compatriots, and in the

same way the Tigre tribes Of Eritrea
have been brave and trustworthy fol-
lowers of the italian nag. On the
other hand, before the war started not
a few Tigre men from Eritrea came
back to fight for their fatherland.
The confidence of victory. moreover,
was then so great that many Ethio-
plan groups in Eritrea hoped to win
their independence.
THE upshot seems to be that with
noble administration, broadly planned
and avoiding certain exceedingly dan
gerous Fascist theories Of colonial
ton, Tigre may be pacifled and util-
lied in the service Of the conqueror
sooner than other parts Of Ethiopia.
1t has the advantage of adjoining
Eritrea and of having already been
penetrated to some extent by Italian
civilization. But if the conditions es-
sential to this success are ignored by
Italy. Tigre will certainly become the
cradle OF all future resistance in
Italy's African empire"
