But Il Is Only A Mess Of Pottage-

A daily paper announces that the block
bound BY 18th. 18th. Ringo and Chester
streets Is being considered as a site for the
Dunbar junior college. Another daily paper
Of the same date announces that the Negro
community center building, erected with
'3a1ninated wood arches, will occupy a
quarter of the same block, the city council
having authorized the purchase of the block
Three nearby blocks are planned for the
new Cibbs-one for the building and two
tor the layground-according to one of the
stories. The whole Is within the ten block
area marked for SLUM CLEARANCE, it is
reported.
OFT hand, the matter sounds good but
the thing does not bear up SO well on close
analysis except for the earmarking of three
blocks for Gibbs elementary. Although the
three blocks are not seen by most of us as
. Stun, almost any sacrifice is justifiable
which will place the Gibbs tots in decent
building with a decent playground.
The location of the community center
on the block mentioned seems all right, al
though the proposed auditorium Is bit un-
dersized But We can't see the reason for
locating the Junior college in the same
block. The location, like that of the present
Dunbar high school building is totally mad
equate for any campus purpose, for any
physical education program, and for any
athletic activities. Moreover, to all intents
and purposes, the junior college is a private
institution, deriving its support from the
patronage of the people who attend it and
from whatever pittances friends may give.
The city Is overloaded with three such insti-
tutions, inaddition to one fully accredited
senior college.
As has been previously pointed out, and
- everyone well knows. four of the five in
stitutions for Negro higher education in
Arkansas are In Greater Little Rock. No
good purpose is served by this concentra-
tion. II would be better for the community
II the more poorly financed institutions
would move to other localities in the state.
This would enable the creation Of a really
competent and strong college in Little Rock.
