During the closing months of
the war, our colleges we're nearly
empty. At present virtually all Of
them are over crowded and the
reason fort he rapid increased of
college students, is former serv-
ice men who during the war years,
were compelled to interrupt their
education. College administrators
have often been congratulated up
on expanding their facilities to
take care of returning service
men. This was, Of course, their
first obligation.
The number of veterans will
fall off rapidly in the next few
years. Many citizens, and not a
few educators, assume that the
space thus released will amply pro-
vide for our needs. After demob-
ilization, our colleges made room

means only the existing colleges
we're able to meet this emergency.
What is usually overlooked is that
they were not able to meet the
demand for post high school edu-
cation.
The question that faces US is
Who should go to college? and
this is worth serious attention by
all intelligent citizens.

in the early '40s by the Univer.

Shakeup If
COP Wins

WASHINGTON, July IA. GAN
P)-Underground stories are that
the Veterans administration is in
for another going over by the
Republicans if they continue /,
economy drives, and the widely
criticized branch offices are con-
sidered fair targets.
eclaring that these branch Of
fees harbor hundresd of high sal
aries brass hats who could be
eliminated without hurting the
efficiency of the administration,
Republicans are sharpening their
axes to lop of fthe numerous du-
plicated jobs that the branch Of
fices hide.
Millions of dollars could be
saved, the DIRECTORS point out, if
these branch offices were done
away with. Not only would there
be savings in salaries paid the
high ranking brass hats, but rem
tails paid for the premises would
also be saved.
Few Negroes would be affected
by such a purge, but it would
save hundreds of minor jobs which
otherwise would be eliminated in
the economy moves.

Chairs 118

ALCORN, Miss, July Is. GAN
P)-The home economics division
of Alcon college has been en-
gagged in a workshop program in
cooperation with the Mississippi
Extension service and the first
project was one of refinishing and
upholstering furniture here at the
school. Students were instructed
in removing old finishes, building
up new, refilling with new and
appropriate material and recov-
ering.
Probably the most fascinating
job was that of refurnishing the
three dignified and impressive
chairs which sit on the platform
in the college chapel. These chairs
r said to be the originals used
in Oakland college chapel, in 1880,
when the school was for youthful
white aristocratic Mississippians.
The chairs retain much of their
original beauty.

BIRMINGHAM, July 10. IAN
P)-Ground was broken here this
week at Ensley, a suburb, for the
first Catholic general hospital for
Negroes, repeatedly in the world.
The new hospital is being spon-
sored by the Holy Family mission.
A campaign is under way to raise
$250,OOO to add to the 100000
on hand for constructing the first
wing of the building. 1t will con-
tain so beds, plans calling even
tually for a 200 bed institution.
Father Frank Wade, editor of
the Catholic Week, was the prin-
cipal speaker, Lionel Baxter,
prominent layman, served as mas
ter of ceremonies.
Behind the beginning Of the
hospital is an inspiring story of
ten work of the Sisters of Char
ity, Nazareth, KY, who came to
Ensley seven years ago to begin
their work in a clinic at the re-
quest of the mission fathers. Sis
ter Mary Albert was the first su-
perior, succeeded by Sister Alice
Martha who gave way to Sister
Mary Octavia, now in charge.
They carried on their clinic work
and added a maternity ward with
six beds in 1916. The new build
ing grew out of the success OF
their work.

The story was rather complicat-
ed, but ran something like this:
Jack Bob Ritchie) Bob (Worthey
Boretos) and O'Toole kim Poole)
American Filters, crashed in the
first scene, on the beach at Juarez,
where they are found by a pedler
dick Stevens) and are taken to
the home of the Mayor George
Darlington. At the time, a great
celebration was going on at the
Mayors home in commemoration
of Pan American Day. The fiiers
asked permission to stay at the
Mayors house until arrangements
were made to return to the United
States, and were granted the re-
quest.
During their stay, O'Toole became
enchanted by Tarantula's (Vicki
Hayzlett) seductive advances. Bob
fell in love with Teresa (Jeannine
Cunningham, the mayors niece.
Teresa's chaperone, Conchita MAR
tina Mateer) refused to allow Bob
and Teresa to marry unless she, also,
could marry an American.
Secretly, Bob and Jack plotted
to persuade O'Toole to marry Con-
chita and they finally did, by telling
O'Toole that Conchita had two mil
lion tortillas, which he believed to
be money After the wedding, a
very disillusioned O'Toole learned
that tortillas are nothing more than
pancakes.
Also included in the cast were
La Roi Pearce as Mama, Ray Low
ell, as Deadpan, Jack Hildebrand
and Ralph Stickell masquerading
as a donkey, and Ronald Miller, the
donkey's owner.
Throughout the plot, many songs
and dances were woven To the
music of Jungle Fantasy" includ-
ing a bug dance by twelve seniors,
led by Vicki Hayzlett,
Songs were numerous and in
cluded a lovely arrangement of
made For Each Other" sung by
Bob and Teresa; a swell solo on
poor Pedro by Ray Lowell; and a
Spike Jones version of THE Old
Chaperone" by the senior Spanish
chorus. Then the junior Spanish
chorus came up with can Old Som
brero." Both choruses joined for
"Conchita Marcquito" in the last
act.
The staging was done by the
whole class and the dances were ar
ranged by Vicki Hayzlett and Vida
