What Happens in South Is

Birmingham, Ala, Writer

been happening 10 the masses Of
eOlOred people In thousands Of
ways In an effort to keep and
use them ~ servants In q society
operated on a horizontal basis
white men up and black men
down.
What happened at Columbia,
Tenn, and at Monroe, Ga, also is
symbolic Of the results which will
follow the efforts Of colored people
to escape total destruction, II they
persist, as they must, in being fully
emancipated.

alton motivated by a righteous
madness stemming from Almighty
God. He knows that there comes
time in the life Of a people or
nation when men must really fight.
That time has come. Every colOred
person everywhere must lay aside
every weight which grievously be-
sets the race and deny ourselves
10 the end that we may cease to
aid and abet our opprsssors.
The lynching of the four persons
in Georgia was the lynching Of the
defenseless all over the world. The
brutal mistreatment Of the riot vic
Tins in Columbia, Tenn, was mis-
treatment Of underprivileged peo-
pies everywhere. II now becomes
the all-important business Of col
ored people and lovers Of justice
everywhere TO organize and acti-
vate an anti-intolerance educational
program, global in scope.
Four million colored people in
the United States ought raise not
less than 100000 to be used in
the prosecution Of such a program
and TO track down the perpetrators
of lynchings. We ought immediate
ly set up a fund of not less than
100000 as reward and prosecution
money for the apprehension, con-
viction and punishment Of the Geor-
gia lynchers. There must be some
eye-fOr-an-eye and tooth-for tooth
handling Of cases like this during
these days.

are deeply concerned about the ex-
tremely difficult financial problem
created by the unprecedented in
crease in enrolment. The Univer-
sity is one Of the truly great in
stitutions Of higher learning in the
nation, but, in the face Of the finan-
cial problem, it will be fighting to
preserve its top-rank status. En-
rollment is expected to reach an
all-time high of 81 800 in the fall.
This will be 40 per cent increase
over the previous all-time high of
900 during the 1939-40 academic
year.
The University has already an
nOunced il will begin classes one
half hour earlier, thus providing an
additional hour Of instruction, and
that schedules are being arranged
to obtain maximum use of facili-
ties and personnel The farming
out" of students to other colleges
does not appear likely, but the ex-
banded enrolment makes il essen
tial that the size of the STAFF be
increased. The size of classes has
already reached the limit for good
instruction and there is y tendency
for a greater share Of the teaching
load to fall on the younger and less
experienced instructors. Thus, the
University's request for increased
appropriations Is certain to receive
careful attention in the l947 legis-
lative session.
