Faced with the wartime prob

recently announced by WPB, rep

the rs year old college chose nor
NAL portions Of meat five days a
week in preference to limited por-

will be served foods rich in the
essential nutrients Of meat on the
meatless days.
with this limitation, it is pos
sible TO serve meat, in a limited
quantity daily, However, small
meat portions don't seem to appeal
to our students. In discussing the
matter with the Student Council
! found that they would prefer
hcarticr servings of meat on fewer
days.
"This change in our menu is GO

the meatless days, we are careful
to include sufficient quantities Of

Realizing that if the fight for
the passage of the anti-poll tax
bill is lost, it will be because the
majority failed to protect the peo-
pies rights from the sculduggery
OF a little minority, the NAACP in
wire to the Hon. Joseph w. Mar
tin, Jr, said:
Statement by Senate Minority
leader yesterday that he will vote
for Anti-poll tax bill but not for
cloture and Senator Connally's
demand of Senate that it vote on
cloture Saturday and abandon bill
if that vote fails will have enor-
nous repercussions for years to
come. Newspapers charge coali-
ton between Senate Republicans
and Filibusterers. We ask you
as Chairman Republican National
Committee to take appropriate &C.
ton. Failure to be present and
vote for cloture is a vote for con-
tinuation of poll tax and denial
of right to participate in Govern
ment to those who are being ask
ed to fight and die to preserve that
government. Republican Party
will be held responsible if it is a

kilograms were sent to every

telling them failure to be pres

that all absent Senators return i'm
mediately to Washington and vote
for cloture for without the clo-
ture vote the bill cannot pass.
Urging every person, Negro and
white to make record of and
not forget in l944 or in other
