Joy Of Being An Editor

Getting out this newspaper is picnic.
If we print jokes people say silly.
If we don't, they say too serious.
If we stick close to the office all day
We ought to be around hunting material
If go out and try to hustle
We ought to be on the job in the office.
If don't print contributions,
We don't appreciate genius
And if we do print them the paper is filled with junk!
If edit the other fellows writeup too critical
If we don't, we're asleep.
If we clip things from other papers,
We are too lazy to write them ourselves.
If we don't, stuck stuff
Now, like as not, some guy will say
We swiped this from newspaper.

The Militant Group

Speaking in Akron last Sunday.
Winthrop Rockefeller gave a good
answer to a question as to the
speed with which race relations
can be improved
He said that patience is neces-
sary because the deep-seated pre-
JUDGES and customs of millions of
people can't be changed overnight
However" he added, there are
times when militanCy is neces-
sary when someone must speak
out boldly and firmly against
specific determinations which are
unjustifiable.
In the continuing fight to
achieve for the Negroes in the
United States the rights which
have generally been denied them,
the National Association for the
Advancement Of Colorcd People
has been a leader for many years.
1t is quick to point the finger at
injustiCes. It provides advice and
counsel for individuals whose
rights have been trampled on.
The NAACP is The indispens-
able militant influence in the long
effort to improve race relations
In this role. it sometimes finds
itself associated with unwelcome
bcdfcllows. radical groups which
seek to exploit any departure from
American principles. II is to the
credit OF the associations leaders
that they have consistently and
successfully fought off the in
flurncr and Subversgun of groups
like the Communists which are
more interested in creating ten
slons than in solving them.
With both white and Negro peo-
pie in its membership. the NAACP
has shown that it is possible TO be
militant without beng radical, 10
fight hard within the bounds Of
our laws and the Constitution.
The association is new engeged
in its annual membership cam
paign. This is its chief means Of
financial support. Those who SYM
pathize with its high purpose and
effective efforts will want to join.

cisely the reverse. One does not
seek to place his ideas before the
others as a merchant displaying
goods. He tries to explore the other
minds to see what they have to
offer. He coaxes and challenges,
using subtle means to draw from
diverse personalities their attitudes
and PHILOSOPHERS respecting a spe-
cific. problem or question. During
the process he reveals his own
mind and soul. But that is a by
product.
HE main objective is to draw
from each person a shaft of light,
an expression of personality. When
that is done, the art of conversa-

pursuit of ideas becomes an excite
ment which only a few have

1t hasn't been lost.
A man famous for his
words tells the secret
A WAC once said that the art of
IA conversation was the patience
to wait to speak until the other
fellow had finished. That often
seems to be the manner of it. Lis
ten to a group come together for
tea or luncheon.
Ifone recorded the talk, it would
amount to a series of disconnected,
unrelated items - each a bit of
pent-up news or gossip tenderly
saved for the occasion and eagerly
released as pauses in the conversa-
ton develop.
. The series sometimes moves fast,
each story tumbling hard on the
heels of another until one who has
a choice morsel to offer must work
hard to get a word in edgewise.
But patience usually brings the
reward.
Tins manner of talk does not
have the dignity of conversation.
Conversation is the art of group
development of exploration of an
idea.
1t may or may not be an argu-
mentative process. A general
proposition rendered is modified,
qualified, restated, tested and per-
haps discarded. There is another
start; new facets are disclosed;
fresh approaches made.
The conversation turns from one
to another; it may keep coming
