PHOGH60S SIOW I'VE ~
RUSH OF PROGRESS
1t was agreed by DR.. Davis (who
has recently been named head OF
the university's Bureau Of APP
piled Social Research), that Afrl-
cans were for the most part of the
opinion that the United Nations
did not understand their problems
from its selection of Missions.
Furthermore each country is too
worried about its own problems
and progress to be too concerned
about the hot spots as Kenya and
South Africa. Confusion due to
the juxtapasition societies with a
stone age method versus the ra-
pid needs of urbanization and in
duStrial life was a cause of con-
Germ.
1t also was interesting to note
that DR.. Davis who is a graduate
of the University of Texas and
who holds the masters and doc
torate degree from Howard uni
versity, who has done most of his
research in the fields of popula-
ton and family relationships, and
Or. Hance are the third such group
sent to Africa under the auspices
Of the Carnegie Foundation.
The aid of government officials
III the Gold Coast and Nigeria
(where tribal and nationalism is
high), among other officials and
extensive reading, aided them in
their itinerary where they were
convinced that more progress was
in evidence in the South than in
the North. Further West and Cen
trail Africa are on the move to-
ward urbanization. Some 60-odd
languages are in the Gold Coast
alone but indeed Africa is the
continent of the future.

FRICTION GREATEST WHERE
EUROPEAN IS SETTLED RACE
RELATIONS BETTER
ELSEWHERE

1t was noted by the Carnegie
Foundation researchers that fric-
ton appeared greatest where the
Europeans had settled in large
numbers and those competing eco
nomically with African labor.
There was a dearth of irritation
in central Africa and race rela-
tons were notably more peaceful.
Neither the Gold Coast or Nigeria
are overpopulated with Europeans
nor are they allowed to own land
in these two areas.

Veterans and
Druftees
By Maj. Thomas M. Niol

If you're a Korean veteran
planning education or training
under the new CT bill, you'll
have to announce your goal be-
fore you start.
It may be an educational, pro-
fessional or vocational goal, such
as teaching or journalism. dem
tistry or law, hotel management
or bee-keeping. It makes little
difference, but it's got to be a
course leading to something at
which you intend to make a liv-
ing.
A good example of how broad
your educational goal may be is
your right to study at colleges
or univerities abroad. About
the only Limitation on this is
that all such courses must first

miniStration. A number OF

proved in schools in Japan,
Italy. Mexico, Canada, England

Some Lines Ruled Out
The only two types of courses
you can't choose are:
l. Avocational or recreational
courses such as dancing and per-
sonality development. Other
courses along this line, such as
photography and sports, will be
approvde if you can prove they
will actually >aid you in your
present or future job.
2. Educational. professional or
vocational goals for which you're
already qualified. The rules on
this aren't too clearly drawn.
In many cases, special rulings
will have to be made. If you
have a bachelors degree, chances
are you won't be able to take
another undergraduate college
course merely to get another de-
gree. However. you probably will
be permitted to take certain un-
dergraduate courses if you show
they would aid
If you're in doubt about your
goal. the Veterans Admini:~-
ton will provide guidance and
counseling. All you have to dc

IOu DUukeuuA kO0
Champaign tInn ! school hoard
found itself laced With conflicting
elements over the question oI hound
an lines AT It's meeting Alonds,
night.
Conum erss stems from recon-
ncndation made hr the Citizens
Education Council in October that
definite BOUNDARY lines b. establish
cd Tor each school in northeast
Champaign.
Notion was deferred until an en-
tollmcn, survey oi all elementary
schools being conducted BY the CECl
has been completed,
Four residents from northeast
Champaign appeared at the board
meeting TO voice objections TO the
placing OF anv boundary lines. Ihcv
Tel, that such lines would add more
the segregation problem in Cham
paign.
Boundary lines now under con-
sidera,ion would make Hill Street
and the Illinois Central Rsslroed the
new dividing line. Children living
north OF Hill Stree, and west oil The
IL tracks would attend Washington
or Lawhead schools.
One exception 10 the boundary
lines would be the territory cast OF
the Il tracks between Hill Street
on the south. 3rd Street on the west,
and the Big -Four Railroad on the
north. Children living in this area
would attend Gregory School.
Acceptance OF this recommendation
would mean that manv ol the Negro
children now attending Gregory
School would be forced to attend
schools inside the new boundar,
lines, thus, in effect. keeping most
OF the Negro children at Washing
ton. Lawhead and Willard schools.
Mrs. Alfred Latham, who spoke
agains, the boundary lines, said the
lines would be depriving her chill
dren OF the right to attend the school
OF their choice"
Just because real estate regulates
where we can and cannot live. there
is no reason why the board should
say where we can send our children
to school" she declared.
! Airs. Latham said il the proposed
boundary lines were established il
would prolong mixed classes to,
the junior high level.
She added that IT would mean
another adjustment for her eh,IdrenI
and others in the same situation. Ii
would mean taking them from a
mixed" school back into an all
lNegro school, and then AT 9th grade
putting them back into mixed
classes"
