UNCF TO GET new
HEADQUARTERS

New York-The new national
headquarters of the United Negro
College Fund will be a five story
building located at % East Fifty
Fourth Street, it was announced
today by William J. Trent, Jr,
Executive Director of the Fund.
Acquisition of the building was
made possible by special anon
ymous grant, designated for the
purpose of aiding the Fund in
establishing permanent headquar-
tiers adequate to its needs.
For the present, officers and
personnel of the Fund will oc-
cupy the two top floors of the
building. The need for larger
working quarters has resulted
from the Funds extended pro-
gram to help its member colleges
and universities meet current op-
Grating expenses, Mr.. Trent stated.
In 1914, when the Fund conduct
ed its first campaign on behalf of
private accredited Negro colleges,
appeals were made in only SO
cities. Each year more commune
ties were included in the Funds
nation wide appeal, until in l948,
in its fifth year, formal campaigns
were conducted in 60 major cities
through the country.
The pressing financial needs of
the Funds member institutions,
made more urgent by rising costs
of operation and swollen enroll
ment, call for an ever increasing
effort on their behalf by the
Fund, Mr.. Trent said.

the foundation-a plea for assist
ance for members of the family
and a tribute to Pearlie Mae
which ended something like this,
"Pearlie Mae is a smart, grand
little girl deserving of worthy
consideration
Someone asked me yesterday,
why so much concern over one
incident" | replied, Close your
eyes and visualize yourself walk
ng into virtual inferno" Then it
is easy to understand how people
with hearts of gold consider what
ever they may do to make her
life brighter only a small sacri-
flee compared to her fearlessness.
Further, in busy world such as
we live in, it is fitting that we
check speed sometimes to do these
things, not alone for what it may
mean to the recipient. but as a
symbol of our debt and RESPONSE
bility to humanity; to create
consciousness in the minds and
hearts of people, consciousness of
the misfortunes and poverty a
round and about us; to lend an
ear to the call and cry of the
proletariat, or extend helping
hand to the widow. So, when we
shower upon Pearlie Mae our
prayers, expressed in actual deeds
and gifts and recognition, we set
in motion a chain of human SYM
patty that may extend from Hol-
lywood, California, to Tillar, Ark
ansas, that will entwine anyone
who fate shall decree may be a
