The Future Of The Negro College,

The voluntary opening of certain ave-
nues of university study TO Negroes in the
states of Arkansas and North Carolina, and
the acceptance Of them through more n
less legal pressure in the states of Missouri,
Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma Kentucky Vir-
gina, West Virginia, Maryland, and others,
will sooner or later sweep Negro state uni
versities out Of existence and place new de-
mands on Negro private colleges and uni
versities. This is as it should be, in the
opinion of the writer, for there is no reason
why a democratic state should support
schools for special population, racial, or re-
ligious groups (other than defectives), and
there is every reason why special groups
wishing to develop or perpetuate group cul-
ture and leadership should run what we call
private schools for those purposes.
The admission of the Negro into state
universities is Of benefit both to white and
colored people. II is of benefit to colored
people because it gives them much need
ed contact with white American culture
patterns, as well as the opportunity to study
in the best colleges and universities which
the state has been able to develop. The adj
mission is of benefit to white people because
it gives them an opportunity to develop the
white point of view in the minds and att-
tudes Of colored students and future lead

Once there was another pioneer

Gin European literature you can
still find the records of the contro-

Adopts Refugee

The chapter will provide the boy
with some of the pleasures taken
for granted by American young
sters and will help him adjust to
his new home and surroundings.
The youths name was withheld
by the chapter to prevent possible
embarrassment. He is a member
of one of the families of displaced

Council IS Given Orchid For Big
Map Project; Only One In US.

The Young Adult Council was
given pat on the back for its
mapping project by Harry Schatz,
Western field secretary of the Jew
ish Welfare Board, during his re-
cent visit here.
Schatz said it was the first such
project undertaken by a youth
council. Publicity will be accorded
it in The Circle, national newspa-
per of the JWB. The project was
undertaken for the purpose of de-
termining where concentrations of
Jewish population are located in

site for a new Jewish Center.

Root Of the Matter.

inter-marriage. This is a perfect
ly reasonable attitude and one that
should be respected in considering
the needs of the Jewish community.
Above and beyond these reasons,
however, there is the matter Of the
need for the Jewish Community to
make major contribution TO the
cultural life of the civic community.
There is certainly no reason why
Jews must continuously use the IA
cilities provided by others. We
should also provide facilities and
feel proud to invite non-Jewish
friends to partake of our bounty.
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, the
Jewish community was asked to
accept 32 families of displaced per-
sons for resettlement in Phoenix.
1t is to the credit of the Council
board that the full quota was ac-
cepted in spite of the anticipated
cost of about $4,000.
Later, news was received from
the United Service for New Amer
leans that, for certain reasons, only
about so per cent of the original
quota would be coming to Phoenix.
For several months no newcomers
arrived. In February, however,
activities quickened. 1t now ap-
pears that about 15 families will
be arriving within the next few
months.
Three units consisting of nine
persons are at this moment arriv-
ing in Phoenix, which will bring
our local total up to six families
welcomed. For these fortunate
emigres the opportunity for leav-
ing the European lands of sadness
comes at long last.
The community has an obligation
not only to assist them to rebuild
their lives economically with jobs
and financial help, but also to ex.
tend to them the welcome hand of
friendship and social opportunity.

THE WORLD OVER

American Jewry and Israel are
heard across the land, and some
times, it's true, the whole thing is
her idea.
But once year, at springtime,
she is refreshed and renewed by the
inspiration received at the annual
conference of the American Coun-
Gil for Judaism. At this confer
ence, the leaders of the Council
manage to plant in the minds of the
public at large the thought that
American Jews are being forced to
choose between their unity with
the American people and "some
fanciful unity of the Jewish peo-
ple," and that in fact they are al
together in danger of becoming
second-class citizens of the United
States.
No wonder, then, that Miss
Thompson writes lectures around
the theme that American Jews are
"proclaiming themselves minor
ity group in the United States" T"
She needs no Recommendation. She
has DIR. Irving Reichert. She has
Mr.. Lessing Rosenwald. What
greater authorities does she re-
quire?
These gentlemen, without any
sense of responsibility toward their
fellow American Jews, grant press
conferences in order publicly to de-
base the finest of projects to their
own level of thinking.
When, for example, Mr.. Rosen-
wald, president of the American
Council for Judaism, tells the world
that the Zionist Organization is
''forcing American Jews to finance
Israel's national policy" he is re-
ferring to last years decision OF
Israel to keep her doors open to all
Jews who wish to enter. Her de-
cision involves incredible hardships
for her people, yet the sacrifice is
willingly made.
+ But the open-door policy of Is
rael means monetary contribu-
tions from American Jewry, and
Mr.. Rosenwald does not approve!
Let the Jews Of Iraq, Yemen, North
Africa-let them all remain in their
novels.
Only mind dedicated to hate, or
twisted by fear, could create out
of this noble and deeply spiritual
adventure an international con-
spiracy designed to destroy Amer
lean Jewry.
Only the Dorothy Thompsons of
the American scene could improve
upon the phantasmagories of the
so un-Jewish Council for Judaism.

= Y
munity already has a YMCA and
a YWCA.
The questions are valid and they
deserve answers. While there are
and have been plenty of Jewish
members of both of these organ
izations, the YMCA and the YWCA
were organized to serve the needs
OF the Christian communities. This
is not to say that Jewish members
are required to participate in or
subscribe to these Christian endeav-
ors, but it should be recognized
that these institutions exist in or
der TO provide Christian influence.
There is nothing wrong with this.
One could hope that there were
more sincere Christians rather than
less.
Aside from the need to bring a
Jewish influence into the lives of
our people, the whole emphasis in
Jewish Centers is different from
YMCA's. The "Y's," both of them,
have some activities for both sexes
on coeducational basis. Primar-
lily, however, the philosophy of
both agencies is that the sexes
should be separated.
Jewish recreation and group
work emphasizes almost entirely
the coeducational approach.
Moreover, the Jewish Center
strives to attract the whole family.
This is not necessarily true of the
"Y's."
1t is a well-established fact that
many Jewish parents do not like
the idea of their children attending
Christian institutions. They feel,
and with some justification, that
such mixing socially NAV lead to
