"Ar0und Town'
By JOHNNIE MAE BASSRTT

For all of those who were not
present Friday night at the Elks
Club, will enlighten you on just
what went on: A Masquerade
Dance was given with music fur
nished by the Curtis Gray Orches-
ira. The snack bar was open to
the hungry and of course there
was a bar for the thirsty. A gay
time was had by all who were
present. Prizes were given to Mrs.
Elinor Perkins for the funniest
costume. She was wearing a Red
Riding Hood ensemble and Mrs.
Anna Williams for the prettiest
costume. She wore very becom-
ing Chinese regalia and must ad-
nit she was every bit Chinese from
her head to her toes.
Something new has been added
in the Elks. Sunday night a free
for all dance was given and an i'm
ported trio played your favorite
song in the style you liked best.
AS usual the Zanzibar carried it's
record crowd Saturday night which

SUNSHINE"
BY Mrs. Nellie Maye Taylor

(The views expressed in this col
umn are those of the writer and
do not necessarily express the edi-
torial opinion of The Arizona Sun.
The Editor.)
Hello, there here and everywhere.
It was hard to get ones favorite
radio program, because each party
was trying to show the faults of the
other. In the election many good
men were beaten and others long
on talk and short on worth and
sincerity went into office, bot ma
tionally and locally. This was the
most crucial election of the CEN
tury. The average voter was very
much. confused. There were many
voters who were undecided, both
Negroes and Whites. Many of us
have found out that a promise is
not a fulfillment; that a promise
before an election does not always
mean delivery after election. In
some cases its the man and not
the party, on the other hand it is
the party and not the man. There
must be solid foundation, or else
it won't stand. For sixteen years
we have been under Democratic
Government. The status of the Ne
gro as an American Citizen has not
been lifted. He is still suffering
from discrimination, segregation,
unemployment, lynching and all
other forms of humiliation that
could happen to a human being.
If a person speaks against it, or
tries to act against it; they are a
Communist, or affiliated in same
way. Yet the Klux Klan can con-
tinue to terrorize, by their bed
sheet costumes and their fiery
crosses. They are considered full
fled Observation-Disclosures citizens,
and nothing is ever done about it.
If one in power attempts to do or
say anything about it is ridiculed,
his party split, or he is stoned with
rotten eggs and tomatoes. So I
guess that is why so many have
been too weak to attempt to do
this country. We can see the hum
ger and faults of all the other
countries but not the faults of
ours. We don't expect these condi-
tions which have been existing for
all of these years to be erased over
night, but we do expect those
whom we elect to office to take a
bold stand for right. The power to
vote is one of Americas most
priceless prerogatives. 1t is a sac
red thing, those of us who have
the privilege, let US not fail to cast
our vote. 1t might help, who
knows. Thought for today, can
open mind is all very we'll in it's
way, but it ought not to be so open
that there is no keeping anything
in or out of it,"
Bye Now-So long-'til then.

JOSEPH BATISTE, Arizona's
gift to the track and field world
is reported to have accepted an
offer from Coach Don Kinzle as
hurdle coach, for the defending
border champions. was at one
time wondering where BatiSte
would do his practice teaching, it
seems as though he will do it right
at home, ASC. interviewing Batiste
last week he said, "Bill Miller is
one of the most promising hurd-
lers we have this season. We ex-
pect the starters gun to send him
into competition many times this
year."
THE DUNBAR CLUB held it's
semester Reception last Friday,
October %, in the modern accom-
modations of the Lyceum Building
on the campus of Arizona State
College. The affair is given for the
specific purpose of introducing new
students to the faculty members.
Mr.. Calvin Goode acted as host
and everyone participated in an
evening of social adventure.
THE PLEDGE PARTY FOR
KAPPA ALPHA PSI fraternity,
after the Flagstaff, football game,
October 16, 1948 turned out to be
a huge success. Fraternity men,
Pledges, and their guests partook
in mirth at South Mountain. The
Pledges for the Gamma Iota Chap
ter are: Armstead Simms, Jose
Burrell, Bill Miller, Reuben Der
rick, Fred Thompson, Luther
Waites, Wendell Davis, Tapp Jones,
Leo Phillips, and Sammy Van
Dyke of Flagstaff.
INTRODUCTION-To you, Mr..
and Mrs. Public. I would like to
introduce another of our track
squad for the forthcoming year.
Mr.. Wendell Davis. He is a college
freshman and comes to Arizona
from Colorado. Mr.. Davis was in
ter-scholastic 100-yd and 20O-yd
dash champion two consecutive
years before coming to Arizona
State College. Out of 48 starts he
only lost two events. He partici-
pated in the Olympic tryouts and
reached the semi-finals, only to be
disqualified because of sprained
ankle. Mr.. Davis is confident that
he shall equal the worlds record
this year, and from observing his
practice, I would say he has good
chance. Good luck to you Davis.
What right have we to determ-
inc the criteria for Americanism
when we fail to set up standards
within our race? The time we can
adhere to a pursuit of our common
desires unanimously we can ques-
ton the integrity of. others.
See you next week.

Well Folks:
Did you miss me last week-well,
I was all ready for you only for

but it doesn't look as though it
would be my last as I'm booked to

Did the election come out to suit
you? AS usual there were many
unpredictable upsets, even the So
called experts were fooled on the
Presidential choice. If / had been
betting I'd have bet on Dewey my
self. But then I usually lose bets
anyway. One is pretty safe betting
against me- About the only safe

it. Thanks,

Traffic Report Puts Domper
ON City's Claim to Courtesy

a traffic study report proving that
more than one-third of last years
accidents stemmed from discourteous
driving and that 10 lives were lost
through breach of the amenities.
1884 Traffic Violations.
A survey by the Commissioners
Traffic Advisory Board and the De-
partment OF Vehicles and Traffic
showed that 1894 of the 10,679
Washington drivers involved in 1947
accidents were remiss in simple
rules of the road.
There were 1866 who failed to
yield the right of way, sol who
turned from the wrong lane, 405
who drove on the wrong side of
the road and 346 who did not stop
at boulevard crossings.
Courtesy is the theme of the third
month of the Districts year-round
safety program. Traffic Director
George E. Keneip is cooperating
with an offer to accept the names
of pedestrians or motorists nom
mated for awards in the courtesy
driving contest sponsored by the
Board of Trades Greater National
Capital Committee.
Names and license numbers of
courteous and safe drivers submitted
to the Public Relations Division. De-
partment Of Vehicles and Traffic,
Room 1908, Municipal Center Build
ing, will be forwarded to the Con-
test Committee.

rampant on the streets, but William
