Cecil E. Newman, Editor:
First / wish to thank you for
your editorial some weeks ago re-
garding "POrgy." However, the
main purpose of writing this letter
is to call attention to the fact that
there are many students at the uni
versity who do not agree with that
group Of students who, despite the
vote of the Negro group on the
Campus and despite the public
statement of officials Of the "U"
to the contrary, are allowing them
selves to be the goats and selling
their right to be outstanding in
their representation Of the race,
for a pat on the back and some
publicity.
am not a member OF the Negro
Council and have never attended
any of their meetings. However,
agree with their vote against
such a play and wish to express
grief upon knowledge of the fact
that there are Negroes on the Uni
versity Campus who are willing to
participate in a play based on
gambling, dope-addiction, prostitu-
ton, illegitimacy, profanity Of lin
go, superstition, and race-subordi-
nation.
Too long have we put good into
much evil in the name Of art. Per-
sOnalIy, 1 fail to see how Negroes
who are supposedly intelligent can
bend to sponsor the propagation Of
distorted views which are already
held by many individuals whose at
titudes are the reflection Of misrep-
reservations.

Lees Didn't Keep Word
The Council of Negro Students
on the campus voted to ban the
play and Director Lees in state
ment to the Minnesota Daily"
student publication, promised to
abide by the decision of the Council.
Thursday of last week the Theatre
issued a statement declaring that
plans for "Porgy" would continue
until suitable substitute would be
submitted by the Negro Council.
Mr.. Lees promised. to delete any
thing from the "Porgy" script that
would appear detrimental to the
Negro student body. Lees gave
three reasons for the Theatres
new decision.
First, he said, the staff felt the
protest represented a divided opin-
ion among the Negro students; sec
ond, no substitute play that had
the Councils complete support was
suggested; and third, many Negro
students showed willingness to par
ticipate in the production.

The broader the life experience of the

he may be expected to try to put his

planes, weaving small rugs, and making
simple costumes are some of the things
a child is likely to do first. The pro-
jects of the older child become in
creasingly complicated, such as the
building of real boat, the construction
of tree house, the planning and exc
cution of circus, and the acting out
of plays. Some children take an in
terest in gardening, others become alb
Sorbed in learning how to make puppets.
1t can be seen that the resources of
the child's environment will have much
to do with whether or not his imagina-
ton is foStered by such creative &C
tivities. The child who lives in fourth
floor apartment may be interested as
the next child in making dugout, but
he will be much more likely to get a
chance to weave baskets, or to make

One of the reasons why constructive
play fills such big place in children's
lives is because of the intense SatiSfac-
ton derived from being a creator. One
of the deep human needs seems to be to
achieve, to accomplish something that
will result in recognition and acclaim
on the part of other people. Through
the use of his hands child often gets
the thrill of finding out that he is able
to create what he has imagined, and
also the delight in having peoples re-
spect, as a result of his accomplish
ment.
Children differ greatly in their nat
ural inclination to use their hands, but
no child should be deprived of the OPP
portunity to see what he can do. Many
an individual whose work in life will
be almost purely intellectual still finds
great satisfaction and relaxation in
turning occasionally to manual work
because it is SO different from the
kind of thing that takes up most of his
time. For this reason even children
who have no particular bent along the
line of motor expression should be
given chance to use tools, to become
familiar with the uses to which diff
ferent kinds of materials may be put
in other words, their play environment
should be sufficiently free so that they
can try to put into effect, even if it is
in crude way, any idea that strikes
their imagination as worth while work.
ing on.
At the present time, when so many
more children are being educated for
''white-collar jobs" than there are jobs
of that type to go into, it may be
especially worth while to offer all
children many opportunities to work
with their hands. For in this way they
may learn their own limitations, an
alyze the immense amount of skill and
care that go into work that they might
otherwise never really appreciate The
clever machinist, who makes the dies
that turn out ccurate and dependable
tools, the plumber whose careful fitting
of pipes makes it possible for houses
to be warmed and supplied with water,
the mechanic who in a twinkling puts
his finger on the mysterious trouble
that has caused an automobile to break
down-all these are craftsmen whom
children ought to learn to respect and
admire. Becoming acquainted with
materials and implements will broaden
a child's imagination and sympathies.
From the time a child hepins tn nile
several blocks together, or to hammer
nails into pieces of wood, he may be said
to be very creatively constructive in
his play. But by the time he is four
or five he is urgently in need of tools
and materials with which to carry out

What is the best time to salt carrots,
beets, and string beans?
Insofar as we know, it makes very
little difference when most vegetables
are salted. If they are to be drained
it 81 customary to cook them in sailed
water, and more salt is usually required
when ready to serve. Beets are said
to lose color more rapidly when cooked
in sailed water; therefore, they should
be seasoned the last thing.-Ina B.

The new program also provides bene-
fits for the widow and orphans of an
insured wage Garner. In case he leaves
no such heirs, his dependent parents
over IS may receive monthly benefits.
A widow over IS is entitled to bene-

below the age of IS who has dependent
children in her care receives a similar
benefit. In addition, a dependent child

Figuring Benefits

For calculating benefits provided
under the new Federal old-age and
survivors insurance system, formula,
based on the workers average monthly
wage, has been adopted.
To find this average wage" take
commercial or industrial workers total
wages, as reported by his employer, and
divide this total by the number of
months he could have been in employ
ment since 1886. A monthly benefit is
figured as follows: A basic amount
equal to 40 percent of the first $50 of
his average monthly wage, plus 10 per-
cent of the next 5000 of average monthly
wage; to this is added 1 percent of the
basic amount for each year in which
the worker earns at least 5000 in covered

also provided for aged widows, for or
