Tougaloo Opens
With Good
Enrolment

Despite the man power shortage
and the drop in college enrollments
in general due to war conditions
T u G a Colleges enrolment
promises to be only slightly below
that of the previous year. Taking
all factors into consideration the
overall picture of the college pro-
gram shows that the academic ac-
tivities are practically normal in
all departments.
The chemistry department shows
a considerable increase in its en-
rollment over the previous year
Possibly this is due to the demand
for technical training and basic
preparation for some of the higher
professions which require this sub
ject.
Many students have shown in
terest IN the musical program and
are enrolling for courses in this
division. The prospects for the
college choir are quite encouraging
However, we need not expect to
hear any melodious tenors and
deep bass.
The coach has settled down to
the routine activities of physical
education with a few youngsters
The question of collegiate football
is out for the duration.
One advantage that the college
enjoys this year over many other
similar institutions is that the en-
tire faculty and personnel of last
year have returned with only one
exception. This means much to-
ward the stability and progress OF
the institution, to say nothing of the
advantages which accrue for the
student.

Head of Chemistry Dept,
Tougaloo College.

soldiers now in Europe, said Sen
ator Russell.
Senator Meade was also enthu-
Siastic in his remarks about Ne
gro soldiers. He praised the coor-
dination of the American armed
forces in the Southwest Pacific and
pointed as an example of this CO.
ordination the fact that the AM
erican soldiers, sailors and Ma
rines in this area all dressed alike.
"You can't tell what branch of
the service they belong to from
thei temperance" he said.
He paid special tribute to the
work of Negro Seabees of the Navy,
who have built roads, airports and
handled much of the supplies going
into the Southwest Pacific area.
Negro Seabees and soldiers in this
area were highly thought of by
their officers from General Nc
Arthur down, he said.
Enroute home the Senators stop
ped in Hawaii where they were
greeted by a Negro Anti-Aircraft
regiment from New York, under
command of Col. Chauncey NJ.
Hooper. This regiment is doing a
great job said Senator Mead.

Senators Praise
Negro Soldiers
On All War Fronts

Negro soldiers abroad were prais-
ed by three of the five United
States Senators, who have just re-
turned from round world in
vestigation of the American War
Fronts and centers of Allied war
direction, at press conference held
in the Senate Office Building re-
Gently. The Senators who held
the conference were Richard D.
Russell, Democrat, of Georgia:
Ralph E. Brewster, Republican, of
Maine; and James M. Mead, Dem
ocrat, of New York.
The group made the trip as rep
resentatives of the Senate Military
and Naval Affairs Committees and
the special Committee on Investi-
eating War Activities which is head
: ed by Senator Truman of Missouri
The other two members of the
committee, Senator Albert B. Chan
der, Democrat, Kentucky; and
Senator Henry Cabot odge, Jr., Re-
publican, Mass, were not in Wash
ington at the time of the interview
American armed forces consti-
tute the toughest fighting machine
the world has ever known said
Senator Russell, who acted as chair
man. They are the best trained
and equipped of all soldiers in
this war and are ready and anx-
ious to get on with the war so
they can return home" he contin-
ued.
Most of this work of handling
these supplies is being done by
American Negroes. These Negroes,
said Senator Russell, "can unload
a ship in four days, where it for
merly took the native Indians and
British troops two weeks In
quiry was also made about the
French troops now fighting with
the United Nations. These troops
were trained and equipped by the

percent respectively in those cases
where the contract rates exceed
these rates. Holders of the latter
type loans may benefit by the
percent interest rate in the case of
25-B loans when the compartment
is completed, and in connection
with direct land bank loans upon
conversion of the loan into reg
ular association loan which any
holder is privileged to do" contin-
ued Mr.. Thompson.
Since 1888 all land bank bor-
rowers have enjoyed lower rates
of interest than originally provided
for in thei rloan contracts as a re-
suit of an Act of Congress passed
in that year and re-enacted from
time to time, appropriating out of
the Federal Treasury funds with
which t omake up the difference
between the original loan rates and
the reduced rates. The present
Act expires June 80, 1914, when the
action of the Federal Land Bank
becomes effective. This permanent
reduction has been made possible
through economies effected in the
operation of this cooperative farm
mortgage credit system" conclud-
ed Mr.. Thompson.
