L. S. U. DEFENDS ITS
SEGREGATION POLICY

New York. Dec. 18-Louisiana
State University is putting up a
viborous court battle to prohibit
two Negroes from enrolling in its
medical and law schools. At a pre-
liminary hearing in Baton Rouge,
La, on December 16, counsel for
the University argued that the
writ of mandamus requested by
NAACP attorneys compelling the
Board of Regents to admit Chas.
J. Hatfield and Viola bohnson to
the University will not lie, since,
by the laws of Louisiana, Negro
es are required to attend separ-
ate schools.
1t is argued by A. P. Thread
and Robert L. Carter, lawyers that
the Fourteenth Amendment, at
the very least. requires that if
segregation is maintained by the
state, it must provide equal faci-
lities for Negroes. and since there
is not a separate medical or law
school for Negroes, the petition
ers, Charles Hatfield and Viola
Johnson, must be admitted to ex-
listing facilities. that is to Louis
lana State University.
Typical of the attitude of this
Southern university is the state
ment made by B. B. Taylor, Jr..

TEXAS COURT DENIES
NEGRO RIGHT TO ENTER
WHITE UNIVERSITY

AUSTIN. Tex, Dec. 18th. .Ac
ton by the NAACP against the
Board Of Regents of the Univer-
sity of Texas. to compel them to
admit Heman Marion Sweat, a
Negro applicant, to their school
of law in the absence of a sep
arate but equal" law school for
Negroes in the state, was blocked
today in the District Court of Ira
Wis County, in a surprising and
unwarranted order handed down
by Judge Roy c. Archer, dismiss
ing the NAACP's petition for a
writ of mandamus. On June 18th,
Judge Archer had entered an or
der giving the university of Tex
as six months in which to esta-
blish a law school for Negroes,
saying at that time, that if such
a school was not established. the
writ should be issued. So bitterly
has the state of Texas opposed
the admission of a Negro into
the heretofore, all white law
school that Attorney General Gro
yer Sellers himself appeared in
the crowded court to file a motion
urging that the NAACP's petition
be dismissed, although no eviden-
ce was introduced as to whether
a Negro school was established or
would be established. All that the
Attorney Generals motion con-
tanned was a resolution by the
Board of Regents of the Texas A
& M College, authorizing the est
ablishment of a law scchool, and
stating that a law school for Ne
groes would be established in Hou
ston, Texas. that the Governor
will be asked for a deficiency ap-

Sweatt's attorneys, Thurgood Mar

w. ]. Durham. James M. 'Nabritt,
Jr., c. Dunkley, and Robert L.
Carter, NAACP Assistant Coun-

swer and justification for a sep
arate law school for Negroes
was the actual establishment of
a separate school completely
equal, and that, unless a school
was actually established and in
operation, the writ of mandamus
should be issued. The assistant
Attorney General insisted that
they were going to establish a
separate law school, which state

c~onspiring to violate federal civil
rights acts by %depriving a Negro
veteran of his life and liberty
without due process of law. were
fined 5000 each in Federal Judge
Walter G. .Lindley's court here
last Monday. At the same time.
Judge Walter Lindley dismissed
conspiracy charges against a
sheriff, two deputies and a form
er deputy, upon evidence that
they were not at the scene of the
shooting.
Victim of the shooting was So

carrying a hammer and lettering
in this community seeking food
and water at various houses.

that 10 days prior to the shooting
he and his deputies, James Elliot
and Herbert Beasley and former
Deputy Pearl Miller. had received
reports from worried farmers a
bout the presence of a wild man
in the woods. A search of the
woods failed to net the capture
or even a sight of Person.
On Oct. II, 1912. a group of
farmers, beating through tn
woods of Vigo county, Ind. saw
Person and fired at him. Later
that day, he was sighted by In
other group a mile inside the Illi-
nois line and was fired upon a.
gain. Both groups broke up with
out being able to apprehend the
fugitive, but on Nov. 26 his body

BOWLING
Alley News
BY Mildred Martin

You know, friends, it is really
beginning to become a problem to
obtain an alley at the Lanes now
adays. The crowds are so heavy
that if you want to wait til late
in the evening now to go bowling
you are just out of luck, for every
one rushes there early and stay
until late.
Buying and owning your own
ball is also becoming a fad, for
as a new week rolls in we al
ways have at least one new ball
owner to add to our list This week
we want to congratulate Corne-
Illus Arnold, president of u Lea
que, owns his own ball. Upon be-
ing asked it's name. he says he
will call it "Texana". Why, he
doesn't say but could it be because
Texas is his home state? We also
are informed that Elsie Johnson
has decided to call her ball Tip
ping In. Well have to ask her
why also.
We want to congratulate the
new team of young girls, captain
ed by Betty Jackson known as the
Bewares. They are really coming
on strong for q new team and gi-
wing plenty of competition to
every team they come in contact
with. The names of the teams
members are: Anna Ware; Betty
White; Ruth Lewis and Elsie
Johnson.
League games were: Sunday
mite found the Lefties facing the
Junior Hellcats the latter winning
two, their opponents one; Tuesday
was the Hellcat's against the Be
wares. The Hellcat's won two, the
Bewares one; Wednesday night
was the Tigers against the Lake
street Wonders, the Tigers win
ming one, the Wonders two; Thurs
day found the Trojans facing the
Lions, the Lions winning two, the
Trojans one; Friday was the Bac-
chanites against the Lefties, the
former winning all three.
High scores for the week were
obtained by Anna Ware and Ed

assortment with "a different fla
vors. Edward had a cor of 222
and received a tobacco pouch.
Mr.. Roseoe knight, manager
of the Bowling Lanes wants to
thank his many patrons for their
patronage as the year draws to a
close and 1 quote him saying: To
my many friends, you have pro-
ven to me beyond the slightest
margin of a doubt, that you ap-
preciate good, clean recreation. A
place where women can go with
babies in their arms and feel con-
tented. Fathers bowl with wives,
daughters and sons. A place where
the entire family goes. Ladies are
always respected because the
young and old men are always
perfect gentlemen. I am wishing
you a prosperous and happy New
Year. To the Captains and CO.
workers of all league teams. I
wish to thank all for their fine
cooperation in the past year and
as you strive to reach the top
with your team in the bowling
