Beta St. John thinks so, and the

agrees in principle with a group
of models who have set up an
organization IN Washington, d. c.,

They argue that models have q

to earn money and they shouldn't
be taxed the same as doctors and

TougaIoo College
Wins Praise OF
League Head

Tougaloo College, Of Tougaloo,
Mississippi was recommended last
week as a "great place for serious
minded students to get a genuine
| liberal arts education" by Rev. J.
A. Mcdaniel, executive secretary
of the Memphis Urban League.
After visit to the institution,
located in the heart of Mississippi,
about a 15-minute ride from Jack
son, Mississippi-state capital and
largest city-Rev. Mcdaniel said
on his return to Memphis that he
was convinced that parents who
are concerned for their children
would be pleased to trust their
offspring to the care of the peo-
pie at Tougaloo."
Nine Ph.D.'s
Speaking of the Tougaloo faculty
! Rev. Mcdaniel stated that nine
| have Ph.D. degrees and that no as
, sistant professor has less than a
Masters degree. Both students and
faculty are taking their work seri-
! ously and happily, he added.
AS an example of the devotion
with which members of the faculty
enter work at Tougaloo, Rev. Nc
Daniel cited DR.. Ting, college Ply
sician.
DR.. Ting, a graduate of the medi-
cal school of the University of
Michigan, is anatomy teacher, die
tician to her patients, nurse in the
infirmary, and a good public rela-
tons expert for the college, Rev.
Mcdaniel said.
GAS thoroughly Christian
woman Rev. Mcdaniel said, CDR.
Ting could not remain in her native
China and practice medicine be-
cause of the Communist control
there now"
Two Top Leaders
The enrolment at Tougaloo at
present is about $50. The institu-
ton has adequate room Tor 40O.
Under it's new dean, A. Branch,
former LeMoyne College chemistry
professor, and president, DR.. H. C.
Warren, Rev. Mcdaniel feels that
Tougaloo is destined to become a
much greater influence for gooC
in the state of Mississippi than il
has before.
He notes that the dormitories are
+, spacious, clean and comfortable;
that the library excells most he
has seen in small colleges; labora.
tory equipment is good; provisions
are good for religious life ane
that the school completes in the ira
ditional college sports such as foot

National Congress have realized
shat opposition party chances have
heightened on the basis that q
''milder of policy of race segrega-
ton is better than what we have
now"
1t was last year when Malar
pushed" through an act in Par
lament restricting the Cape Prov
lnce colored voters from partici-
pating in the national elections
This action boomeranged however
when the high court of the land
held the act void and illegal. Ma
Ian then attempted to take the
powers of the Supreme Court
transfer them to Parliament, which
is ruled by the Nationalists, and
again place his voters act into
being.
This attempt failed miserably
primarily because of the staunch
fight carried on by the opposition
party which held that Malan's act
restricting colored voters and his
attempt to establish a high court
ruling, was illegal, outrageous and
ridiculous.
The opposition party was given
credit for this victory against Ma
Ian. 1t may we'll count on this
prestige to beat Malan in the cleo
tons April Is if it can corner the
voters of Cape Province.
There are at least $4,000 colored
(mixed blood) voters in Cape Prov
Ince who may, as result of their
hatred for Malan, vote for the
opposition party.
There is third party that has
been unsuccessful in becoming pop
ular with the people of this coun-
try mainly because of its lack of
explosive incidents to push it to
the foreground. This is the United
party. It also backed the MaIan
act IN passing the emergency bill
against race law violators.
The only remaining party, con-
sidered hopeless as far as elections
are concerned, is the Torch Com
mandos, a war veterans organiza-

declared.
There is little difference between
the two parties battling for SUI
preme rule of the country. Both
believe in segregation and punish
ment. Both want the wealth of
the country at the expense of the
native labor.
But somehow, Malan now fears
that the opposition party will pro-
vide strong contention by using a
"nilder" platform of segregation
policies in an attempt to gain in
creased public support and SYM
pathy. This could prove vital.

and Health in unity for greater
service to home, club, community
and county during National All
Club Week.
This is a time for "getting
ready in their All projects and
activities for 1868. All over the
state and nation they are prepar-
ing to deliver a full measure of
production, conservation, an d
"know how" as part of their daily
lives. They are learning to live
together. The National theme of
All Club work in 1853 is Work
ing Together for World Under
standing"
"4-H Club work aims to pre-
pare young people for responsible
positions in adult life through early
participation in situations similar
to those of adult life. In recent
years the program of All Club
work has been widened to give
young people some experience in
broader phases of living. While
the main emphasis is placed upon
project work and the teaching of
useful skills, considerable empha-
sis is given other aspects of liv-
ing such as health, music, recrea-
ton, citizenship, religion, the arts,
love of home and farm, and the en-
ioyment Of surroundings. Often
these stem from the project itself
the broad and basic purpose being
the development of interests and
skills that will bring the greatest
satisfaction in life.
The year 1852 ended with a All
enrolment of 50,489 members, a
slight increase over last year
There was a small percentage of
decline in the number of clubs
due to the new approach to edu-
cation through consolidation, &C
percent Of those enrolled live on the
farm the greater portion Of them
being girls. Club work has estab-
lished itself as a traditional part
Of rural life throughout the state
of Mississippi. Without local lead

and 33,085 girls enrolled in All
