Journalism And
Law Schools To
Be Closed Down
Lincoln Univ.
Has No Funds
Nor Students

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.-tSNS)
The Segregated schools OF Jour
nalism and law, set up by the state
of Missouri as a part of Lincoln
university, its state college Ior I'VE
groes, to get around the historic
LLOYD Gaines decision by the Unit
ed States supreme court, nave
been closed for lack of funds ano
lack of attendance.
The decision on the failure OF
this Jim crow graduate training
was made five years, almost to the
date. from the opinion OF the SUI
preme court in the Gaines case
The highest court then ruled that
Negroes were entitled to graduate
and professional training in state
supported institutions and must be
given this training either in exist
ing institutions or in newly or
ganized schools equal to existing
schools.
NO STUDENTS
In a formal statement after It's
meeting of December II, the Board
of Curators of Lincoln university
issued a statement saying:
because no students were en-
rolled in the School of Law, locat-
ed in ST. Louis, during the period
Of registration this professional
unit has been placed on an inactive
status since the beginning OF the
academic year in September"
Other parts of the statement OF
the Curators limited the life OF
the school of Journalism to Febr-
uary /, 1914.
This experiment, setting up lin
crow graduate schools, in answer
to the supreme court in the Gaines
case has cost the state of missouri
$3.50. 600 of taxpayers money. OBJ
servers point out that there was
no reasonable chance for its sue
cess from the outset because there
was not the volume of students te
perpetuate the schools. The law
school tried all sorts of WORK
scholarships and grants-in-aic
with no effect.
It was also pointed out that the
expenditure of a quarter million
dollars has not solved anything be-
cause the state now is right back
where it was when the supreme
court decided the Gaines case or
Decembr IL, 1888.

gets it there - but
you can help them.
A HEN US. troops landed in
w North Africa last winter;
w headquarters equipped
them with every essential for mill
tary operations. The Army included
among those essentials one of the
most important of all fighting weap-
ons - post office.
Army post Offices - APO's- are
functioning in the upper Arctic, in
New Guinea jungles, in the African
desert, wherever American soldiers
are stationed overseas. A network
of APO's covers the British Isles.
A complete intra-African postal
system links all Army units on that
continent, plus the regular mail serv-
ice to and from Africa.
The global Army Postal Service
has over 1000 officers, thousands of
enlisted men with post-office ex-
perience. Each Army unit with
more than 5000 men has its own
postal officer. The Army needs them:
the US. soldier and his family are
the most prolific letter-writers in the
world.
Overloaded Mailbags
EAcH week, more than 20 million
letters are addressed to boys over
seas. Already, close to three-quar-
ters of billion pieces of mail have
been sent out of the country. That
means the Army Postal Service is
handling more than three times the
bulk of mail it did in World War I.
And, except where V-mail is used.
that huge bulk is one of Uncle Sans
soldier -postman's biggest worries.
V-mkil has a lot of advantages:
1t saves SO per cent in cargo
space; is the safest; is the fast
est; costs no more.
Because of shipping problems and
because your soldier should get the
mail he really wants and needs, the
Army has ordered:
No overseas packages-over eight
ounces in weight-unless soldier
sends you written request approved
by his commanding officer. (Re-
member: American soldiers, no mat
ter where they are. can get practi-
cally everything they need or want
at their Army Posts.) No pack
ages heavier than five pounds,
longer than Is inches or 36 inches
overall. No single copies of news
papers and magazines.
Most important fact: Your soldier
needs mail from home almost as
much as he needs his gun. Help
him and his Army by using V-MAIL.

Campaign Committee members.
The Army Service Forces were re-
ported as planning to purchase
$4,000 books for soldiers through the
Council on Books in Wartime. The
reason back of the move was under
stood to be the failure of the Victory

said 100000 suitable books had been
distributed already 1t added that
