Antioch College Offers
Many Opportunities

Over. in Yellow Springs is To-
Gated one of the most forward
looking and progressive colleges
in America. We refer to Antioch
college. In every respect this is a
most unique and experimental
school. 1t is the one spot in this
section of Ohio which is seemingly
free of outward manifestations of
prejudice.
Antioch is a school which be-
lieves that it's students are mature
enough to attend college without
being burdened under a whole set
of rules and regulations restrict
ing practically all their move
ments. The school operates on the
community manager system. I'm
der this sysctem the students and
faculty are voted representation
in the community council. Each
year a student is elected to the
position of community manager,
a position he holds with remun-
Grafton.
Thus, any decisions concerning
action, campus rules, expenditure
of funds are made with the active

Entertaining the World

"The World" said a hotel wo-

She might have gone much fur

her door; it rests in her beds, eats
her foods, lets her entertain for

times death.
The modern hotel is the busiest
mart in the world, and the mod

who had SO many children, the
difference being that the hotel
keeper knows what to do.
With the tremendous increase

every phase of public life it is
to be expected that she should

Managers and hostesses are US

The hope and fear of countless
young career girls are summed up
in their struggles to succeed in
big cities. Have you ever wanted
to be a career girl, girls?
In my description of a career
girl in this article doesn't mean,
by all means, that every girl runs
into the same difficulties.
Many girls choose New York,
Chicago, or any large city in which
to begin their career life. Because
they want to be independent, they
will borrow 5000 from the local
bank rather from their father.
They could have a large ambition
and some training, a field that has
a lot of openings, just graduated
from a big university or college.
With them goes a roommate to
share the h%ardships of their first
days of career life. They will
probably look weeks for jobs, dur
ing which this 5000 shrivels to $40.
But finally they walk in the right
place and are hired for $50 a
week, which disappears quickly in
any large city.
Because they had probably
worked their way through college
and had learned to make clothes
and to eat breakfast for 15c,
they'll get along. They will prob
ably find a furnished room in an
apartment building. Although they
could scarcely afford the stiff $50
a month rent, they could find moth
ing cheaper. Soon they make
friends, including several young
men who begin to take them out
to dinner regularly enough to sub
tract a few dollars a week from
their living expenses.
After six months, they may get
a raise to $50 a week, that's if
they are capable. They commence,
under close and careful bodgeting
and r able to repay on monthly
terms their borrowed 5000.
A career girls life is interesting

participation Of the students. Con-
s%equently, the scholastic level and
the morality of the students at An
tioch rank among the highest in
the country. There is no race
prejudice, nor are there any ex-
~pulsions for immoraity.
In point of fact, Antioch has
been responsible TO rthe break
down of discrimination in Xenia
theaters along with Wilberforce
students. Students from Antioch
swim during the summer at the
segregated Saturday session set
aside at the Bryant park pool for
Negroesf. Bryant park inciden-
tally is a state owned park, but
it discriminates just as if pri-
vately owned.
The Tavern, a popular student
rendezvous in Yellow Springs ca
tiers to all. One of the Negro stu
dents is employed there. The Tav-
ern, incidentally, is located d.
rectly across the street from a sa-
loon whose owner would rather
see hell freeze over than serve
Negroes.
Furthermore, there is no segre-
cation O fthe Negro students in
the dormitories. This writer has
on occasions spent the night in
various dormitories there (men's,
of ~course).
Antioch has not had the re-
Spouse it desires from Negro stu
dents. Last year they were seek
ing Negro high school applicants.
1t has a work plan in which stu
dents must have so many work
credits before graduation. Besides
gaining experience, this enables
the students to help earn his way
through. Therefore, we think it
wise for Negro high school grad
yates who r now looking around
for a college to think seriously of
Antioch. One could do much worse.

Mrs. Roosevelt Says No
Idea Of Running for
Vice President

WASHINGTON, July 8. CAN
P)-Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt gave
a positive no to the possibility
of her running for vice president
of the United States in the 1948
election.
Her answer came last week fol-
lowing a suggestion by Mrs. Clare
Booth Luce that a Truman-Mr
FDR ticket would be the Demo-
cratic party's only hope for VIC
tory. President Truman had later
stated that he would not mind
having her as a running mate.
The question of Mrs. Roosevelt's
candidacy came up after Mrs.
Luce, former congressional and
ardent Republican, wrote in a
newspaper article that the Presi-
dent could capture the Negro vote
from the Wallace third party only
if Mrs. Roosevelt ran for vice
president. Mrs. Luce said:
"She Mrs. Roosevelt) is the
only person in the party who could
take back from Wallace the Ne
gro vote, the labor vote, the un-
derdog minority vote.
"That is because she is the only
person in the party qualified to
tear the Roosevelt mantle off Wal
lace and by sharing it with Tru-
man, partially restore it to him.
She would keep a strong lien on
the vast pro-Roosevelt vote that
still remains in a nation where it
became an article of faith that
.FDR, with all his faults, was for
the poor man."
When asked about the article
and its suggestion of Mrs. Roose-
welt as his running mate, Presi-
dent Truman told reporters it
would be all right. He said that
he had not seen the story, how
ever.
