Attempt at Jim Cr0wism Exposed
AT Colorado College
Miss Lucille Hawkins refused to
fall for the malarcy of the profess
sors at Colorado college at Bould-
er, Colo. when they insisted that
she would be much happier IL she
were to finish her senior year in
pre-medics in school where she
would have the advantage of serv-
ing her own race since the char
ity patients, white, of the uni
versity refused to let her serve
them. But thanks to the "Silver
and Cold" the student newspaper
of Gu, and also TO the good judg-
ment OF Miss Hawkins parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Hawkins OF
2404 Downing street, Lucille will
remain right where she is and
graduate with honors the same as
she has from the senior and junior
high schools OF this city.
Always an honor student. a per-
feet lady and the winner OF schol-
arship TO this college, Miss Hawk
ms fought for the right to spend
her first year at college as a resi-
dent OF the Freshman dormitory,
and won and came out the most
D pular resident OF the year. The
"Silver and Gold" defended her
right TO remain at the school,
against the orders OF the faculty.
Wide publicity was given the incl
dent by the Denver Rocky Mt.
News. and their publication OF the
facts was followed by an article
from the college faculty, the con-
tents OF which led the unthinking
public to believe that they were
merely giving Negro students their
choice OF finishing in schools OF
their own choice and at the same
time receiving their degrees from
Colorado college.
