81. Paul NAACP
Condemns Virgins
DISMISSED From u

By an overwhelming majority,
the St. Paul branch of the Ma
ACP condemned DR.. Forrest O..
Virgins dismissal from the uni
vcrsity as a violation of academic
freedom at a special meeting last
Monday, Jan. IS.
This special meeting, held in the
undcrcroft of st. Phillips church,
was called because of the disatis-
faction of "A large majority of the
membership over the action Of the
acting chairman, George Wills,
who, at the last regular meeting,
ruled a motion supporting Wig.
gins out of order.
In addition to passing the mo-
ton condemning Virgins dismiss
sal. the branch also adopted the
state NAACP's stand that also
included that the state group join
with other organizations to fight
for his retention.
Virgins was invited to the
meeting and instead of presenting
his side of the controversy, he was
the target of a barrage of ques-
tiOns.
Nathaniel Smith charged that
Virgins was being subjected to a
star chamber inquisition" and
made a motion for the branch to
support Virgins. He accepted a
substitute motion by Bismarck
Archer that the branch also fight
for Virgins retention.
Virgins, the first Negro on the
faculty of the University of Min
nesota and an instructor in the
philosophy department for the
past six years, was notified he
would be dropped at the end of the
current school year ending in
June.
The philosophy instructor
claims he is being dropped be-
cause of his political views. The
University administration stated
that he is being dropped because
he is incompetent. The admins
tration Overruled the philosophy
department which was unanimous
in its opinion that Virgins be re
tanned and promoted.
Opposition to the motion wal
led by Timothy Howard, c. d
Anderson and J. w. Miller.
Howard made the charges thai
this was not case involving
racial discrimination and was moi
in the scope OF the NAACP ant
that Virgins, by his own admis
sion was "a radical" and that hC

Rowan explained that much of
his work had been done in the
field of human relations, and that
all of it had been done because of
a belief that under a democracy,
nothing counts more than people
The individual means everything"

award indicates that you join me
in that belief" said Rowan.

First action was the adoption of
a plan to push the registration

the South. The resolution declar-
ed: Our fight for the right of
every Negro in the South to regis

vitalized by the cowardly murder
Of our Florida leader and his wife.
A committee is hereby formed,

at intimidation and terror"
An official Declaration at

gates, said:
I'VE here today solemnly
pledge our total resources to the
struggle to establish throughout
our native Southland, freedom
justice, equality, and security for
every citizen to the end that
no man, woman or child in ouI
land need suffer insult, humilia'

An overflow crowd of 1900
persons attended the closing
meeting of the conference in
Bethel Institutional Baptist
church, heard speeches from six
southern state leaders, and an ad-
dress by Roy wilkins, Of New
York, national administrator Of
the NAACP.
Mr.. wilkins said Harry T.
Moore had been murdered because
he refused to believe in the doc
trinc of white supremacy and
worked for equality Of his people.
"Moorc's murder" said Mr. Will
kins, means that the doctrine of
white supremacy is bankrupt. II
has no more magic. Nobody be
Iievcs in it. When people have to
prove superiority by bomb-mur-
ders, they are not superior. Ne
groes are not frightened by these
tactics: they are only made more
determined to secure their rights,
as Is evidenced by the attendance
Of 200 delegates TO this Cocnfer-

A greeting TO the delegates
from Walter White, who was III

bomb has replaced the Iyncher's
rope" and called for increased
activity TO secure full equality.
The meeting was attended by
Police Chief Sherman Cannon and

MODERN PROCESSING
PROVIDES BETTER FOOD

Improved processing methods
produce greater variety of foods
of higher nutritive value now
than in past years, says Alma
Garvin, extension food and nutri-
ton specialist at Ohio State Uni
VerSity.
Americans today are better fed
than their forefathers and the
next generation will be better
nouriShed than this one, Miss
Garvin says.
Perishable foods are processed
within a few hours after harvest
ing. Processing plants are NOV
ing into areas where foods are
produced in order to handle them
promptly. Professors also arrange
for crops to be grown for quality
and harvested at their best.
Methods of processing that
mage food look and taste good
also save food values, Miss Gar
win says.
