Why should I go to a Negro
college? What car 1 find there
that is not as god or better here ?
Possibly win be limited iii social
activities in a mixed college but
I win share equal popularity in
my academic and athletic activi-
ties. These are some of the ques-
lions which asked and answered
for myself before starting college.
There are many reasons why I
prefer the mixed college to the
Negro college. In the first place,
the mixed college offers much
better and more complete educa-
tional program. Last summer
when deciding what college would
be the best for me to attend, I
wrote to about ten different col
leges asking them to send me
catalogs. Six of these were from
Negro colleges. After checking
them all over and comparing them
found that the educational pro-
grams of the mixed colleges Of
fered more complete subjects in
practically every course that they
endeavored to teach. 1t is only
more natural that the teachers
take a greater interest in helping
the students also. They receive
higher salaries in a mixed college.
also found that the teachers win
do more for a colored boy or girl
than they will for their own white
students. They realize that we
must work to go to college and
that few Of us have it easy. AS
for the Negro college, they do not
take any more time with one stu
dent than they do with another.
Another reason why prefer
the mixed college is owing to the
fact that upon graduation the Ne
gro boy or girl has q chance to
achieve more in later life, both
socially and financially. I do not
say that the same cannot be a.
chieved in the Negro college, but
I do know that it is harder for a
graduate from a Negro college to
find position anywhere outside
Of the South than it is for the Ne
gro graduate of a mixed college.
I'm sure that the competition in a
large mixed college is much keen
er so far as academies are con-
cerncd. The same is true of ath-
letics.
AS for social activities, the Me-
gro in the mixed college is al
lowed practically every advantage
that the white hoy or girl is al
lowed. About tie only restriction
upon the Negro is stirat of becom-
ing a member of a sorority or fra
ternity. Here at the University
of Oregon the boys are allowed
to live in the dormitories. Had I
gone to a Negro college I know
that 1 could never have met rs
many people who were really sin
cere in wanting to share my
friendship as 1 have since enroll
ing in this institution.
sill another reason why I pre-
fer the mixed college is because
there are usually several in each
state. Negro colleges are usually
few and far between and when

COMMITTEE GETS
TAXI LIMIT PLEA
Owners and Operators Also
Seek Law to Force
Riders to Pay.

Owners and operators of taxicabs
appealed to a special subcommittee OF
the House District Committee today
for legislation limiting the number OF
cabs in Washington and giving them
legal weapon to use on riders who re-
fuse to pay their fares.
The pleas were made at hearing on
. bill designed to give the Public Util-
tiles Commission authority to prose-
cute violaters of its orders and regula-
tions. The subcommittee also con-
sidered bill increasing the maximum
amount under which petty larceny can
be charged. Both measures were ap-
proved by the subcommittee, but it
amended the petty larceny bill to re-
duce the maximum figure from $75
to $50
Under existing law. the value of
property in excess of $35 brings a
charge of grand larceny.
A suggestion was made by Chairman
Palmisano of the subcommittee that
steps be taken to reduce the number
of cabs by preventing Government en-
ployes from driving these vehicles
after regular working hours Riley E.
Elgen, chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission, explained. however, that
the commission lacks the authority to
restrict the number of cabs, but had
sought such power for several years.
Dante Gentilucci, cab driver, said
he believed the commission should be
given such authority and at the same
time stressed the need of legislation
which would force riders in cabs to
pay their fares. He cited a number Of
experiences he has had with riders who
refused to pay.

This, of course, isn't quite as mysti-

not an uncommon phenomenon in

desperately unhappy. Ones thoughts

The committee is considering a
