but were told that the picture

ellis protest.
Dean Wiley expressed himself
according to reports, as being OF
the opinion that the student group
by protesting against such things
as the Birth of a Nation" were
focusing attention upon themselves
as a campus minority.
Friday morning Henry M. Muir
ray, executive vice-president of the
Minneapolis Civil Rights Commit
tee, was appraised of the proposed
showing of the picture by c. W.
Washington of the Urban League
Mr.. Murray Immediately went to

Three Hundred Hear Foster
At Closing Meeting of
Annual Interracial Week

tractors are not permitted to hire
white workers. This means, Mr..
Foster said, that Negro contractors
can never st enough workers to
do a really big job and the Negro
union members are not hired by
the big white contractors.
Talking on the housing situation
in Chicago, Mr.. Foster mentioned
that 60 per cent of the land is
closed to Negro occupants because
of restrictive covenant agreements
among white owners. These agree
ments, Mr.. Foster said, prevent a
white man from even lending his
property to a Negro.
He placed emphasis on the fact
that the welfare of our respective
American communities is inter-
woven with the welfare of Negroes
as well as that Of other people
making up these communities.
Rev. Carl F. Zietlow, Regional
Secretary of the Round Table of
Christians and Jews, spoke on the
subject "Minorities and Racial
Groups" Chas. W. Washington,
Executive Secretary of the Urban
League, speaking on the local in
ter-racial program, stated that this

ed to civic organizations and labor

Welcome Hall Seniors GA;
Augustana %

Led by Donald Jackson with lS
points, the seniors of Welcome
Hall, playing in the Church League,
maintained their early season lead
by soundly trouncing the much
improved Lutheran = mt on the St.
Paul Boys Clug .lOor Saturday
night, February IL.
The Hallmen, off to a slow start,
found the mark late in the first
stanza to pull away to an eight
point lead at half-time and came
back in the last period with burst
of speed which sent them into COM
plete command of the ARRAY from
the start. The lead was never
threatened from there as Cohen,
Fletcher and Goldstien all con-
tributed to lopsided score.
With only two games remaining
the Hall has a cinch share in the
division honor and is almost a GER
tain bet to cop the league title and
thus become the first aggregation
from the house to achieve such an
honor.
The team journeys to Owatonna
Mimi, Thursday night, February

Commercial five in the Pillsbury
