ESSAY FOR THE WEEK
Our College Graduatasn


Dear Villagers, your reporter
will be scalped after writing this
weeks essay. Well, 1 am willing
70 take that chance and try to
see just how our college men
and women differ from. other
groups. First, we will clear one
very important fact. We will al
ways have class or social dis
elimination among ourselves as
long as this old world reYolves
on its axis. Our essay this week
Is an old story, almost every one
OF us has run into it. 1t is the
vast distance between the COL
lege graduates and the unfor-
tunate men and wome that
couldn't afford to attend college
AS soon as we enter some we'll
known college, we at once cut all
ties to our former friends and
some times our own families.
Yes, instead of taking our edu-
cation to the masses, we segre-
gate ourselves into little selfish
groups, where we who only know
how to discuss the great inter-
national problems that I'VE" can
only discuss, If we attend college
in the North say Harvard or
Radcliffe. We even find other
associates, it doesn't matter
what group they are from as
long as they are not colored.
Our education seems to be the
boycotting type or the separat-
ing of the sheep from the goats,
but to other groups it means
everything for the less FORUM
ate, 70 rexample, take the Chi
neSe or Japanese students, as
soon as they finish their college
work they return home to dedi-
cate their lives to the welfare
Of their millions of sisters and

A High Way, and Low.
And every man decideth
The way mis- soul shall CO.

POLITICS
Well, felix's, it won't be long
before all the candidates in the
mayoralty fight this fan will
throw their hats in the ring and
next the politicians in the dis
trict will be knocking on your
door trying to persuade every one
TO Jump on his mans wagon.
Villagers. now is the time for YOU
to sit and think about the eandi-
dates mentioned in the daily
papers. Take each one and ana
lyze him. See if they have the
experience to run this great city
at such critical times, unem-
ployment which always hits our
group first should interest every
one OF you. Rising real estate
taxes because the legislature
keeps approving pay raises for
all city departments without
giving the city other means of
raising funds. The housing pro-
gram was a disgrace, before the
present Mayor fought night and
day and is still fighting to get
started to clean up the whole
south end and lower Roxbury.
Also a man that will look out
for all the citizens white or
black, the poor, the aged, the
homeless and the sick. Villagers,
it is time that you should decide
yourselves whom you person.
ally want for Mayor. After the
election it will be left up to you
to get what favors or aid you
can, because your adviser and
persuasive political friend has
disappeared with the patronage
and you left holding the bag.

friends for new ones, especially
in this hitting below the belt,
