Alcorn College Gets Tennessee State
Prof. To Head Agriculture Division

President P. S. Bowles, who be-
comes president on July
has been asked by the Alcorn Col
lege Board of Trustees and the
new administration to remain in
the service of Alcorn College. The
board has asked him to begin a
work which promises to become one
of the colleges greatest features. 1t
is the hope of the school that the
campus of Alcorn College will be-
come the entire state of Mississip-
pi; extension centers are to be es-
tablished in various parts of the
state
The trustees think that President
Bowles, due to his long years OF ex-
perience and contact in the state,
is ideally prepared to initiate this
great work. He has been asked by
the trustees to establish the first
center in his native town Columbia,
where he has recently built a home
for his retirement.
Several new appointments have
been made to the Alcorn College
faculty for next year. Prominent
among these is Mr.. E. S. Burke, now
professor of Agriculture at the Ten
nessee State College of Nashville.
He will become director of the di-
vision of agriculture at Alcorn Col
lege, beginning August l, 1915.
Mr.. Burke earned his B. S. de-
gree at Tuskegee Institute and his
M S. degree in agriculture at the
Michigan State College. He has

that is in general ito bring Victory
and keep America free for Democra
Cyl. So in the finals we are look
ing for what we. fight for. We are
expecting the rights of an Amer
lean citizen because We are Ameri-
cans. We know, and though it is
what most Americans would call
untrue, that the Negro as an indi-
vidual or race is bitterly denied his
rights as a citizen.
We have scores of great leaders,
and many prospective ones that
would grow to be even greater If
they were given the opportunity.
Let us as race see to it that ev-
cry possible means be sought and
given to that boy or girl who shows
the least leadership ability, the OPP
portunity to be the man or woman
and the leader he or she should.
We need leaders who an organize

We are asking you as leader to

taken no extra steps to give to their
children and our people an oppor-

will mean sacrifice and plenty of It,,
but we must give it regardless what
the cost might be.
After the war there will be mil
lions, feel free in saying, that will
migrate to the. North. East and
West, and there are possibilities of
some returning to foreign countries.
1t is our hope and sincere desire
that we as individuals and as q
group will not dare try to evade
the injustices of any one state by
migrating to another or to foreign
countries, lettering our conditions
as individuals and forgetting about
conditions that exist behind us.
This way we cannot and never will
get any further than we are now.
Every non-c commissioned officer
in this organization speaks against
these iniustices as group for q
race, and not from an individual
standpoint. 1t is not exactly what
we run into over here as a soldier
that we are planning for, because
we do not refer to our military life
and Judge the future. If this were
true, we would have a very short
way to go and Very little to demand.

Dear Editors
I've been so deeply impressed this
afternoon during a discussion at
the Sgts.' Mess that I'm forced to
write you Immediately. Our discus
sion was, what the Negro will
have accomplished after Victory
comes" Will he or she enjoy his
or her rights as an American citi-
zen?
We have come to the conclusion
that the Negro will be given better
opportunities once we return to CIV
il life, but what we have decided is
this, the opportunities that are
given will be readily accepted, but
we will not dare satisfy ourselves
with that. The Negro has got to
fight for what he wants and not
in physical nature. We will new
er get that which we desire to de-
mand, by using physical force.
This is where education comes in.
We as commissioned officers
are making you and many others
to appeal to every Negro parent to
give their children the opportun-
ity, and demand in normal man.

every opportunity to grasp his or

We have concluded and we know
that education is the main factor
in solving this race question
which is vast field, including
therein, prejudice, denying to the
Negroes their rights and many 9TH

ton is what it will take along with
unity tn attain the rights that we
are entitled to.

for the same thing that any other

New Judge And

here. Thurgood Marshall. legal
counsel for association. conferred
with Tom Clark, assistant attorney
general, last Thursday, but neither
made disclosure of any agreements
reached.
In the event the case does go to
retrial, having been thrown back
to the lower courts by the United
States Supreme Court four weeks
ago, several new factors must De
dealt with as regards the personal
tiles involved.
Bascombe Beaver Of Macon,
Georgia, the federal district judge
who heard the case against Claude
Screws, police officer accused OF
beating a Negro prisoner to death,
died recently. This vacancy ON the
bench was given to T. Hoyt DAVIS,
The u. s. attorney who tried the
case. This fact automatically elm
mates Davis from sitting.
Whoever gets the assignment Will
be named by the senior judge OF
the fifth circuit, Samuel H. Selby
of Atlanta. Beaver was Repub-
lican, and the belief is that it might
be desirable to have another Re-
publican hear the case. Judge E.
Marvin Underwood Of Atlanta is
the only other Republican jurist in
the circuit, although 1t is not I'M
likely that man may be borrow
ed from another circuit.
Also, since a new trial attorney
must be picked, attention may be
focused upon 1t. Maynard Smith,

IN THE MIDST of the fight to
salvage the present FEPC and
create a Congressionally author
lied permanent FEPC from the
wreckage the Appropriations n d
Rules Committees of the House
have made Of them, little atten-
ton has been paid to the dire eff
fectS which may result from failure
of these efforts. Almost everyone,
opponents and proponents. have
been riveting their eyes and at
tention on the fight for survival
itself. There is a subconscious dis
belief on the part of liberals that
FEPC is about to expire.
FEPC has become symbol of
fair play and justice in the minds
of minority peoples in the United
States. 1t has become a pivot to
which all Americans can attach
their claims TO democratic spirit.
SOMETHING REAL.
To a generation of Negroes who
know about the Emancipation Pro-
clamation only by reading of 1t in
history books, the F'EPC is some
thing real, tangible, and present.
They regard it as the high school
graduate does his diploma, as the
graduating pilot does his wings, as
a promoted colonel does his gen.
erals star. These are things you
can't give, permit 5 h ort period
of enjoyment, then snatch away as
you please.
The clock of freedom and the
boots of progress purchased thru
bitter struggle for that which is
right are not easily shed.
It would have been far better
for America - while she is trying
to convince world which is three
fourths colored of her desire for
peace and her democratic concern
for freedom and opportunity-never
to have had an FEPC than to face
the consequences of this game OF
give and take.
