just that.

Bulbs will be sold in bags each
containing two 40 watt bulbs,
four 60 watt bulbs, four 100 watt

good supply and at the same time
help worthy cause.

carib Singers
To Appear At
Jackson College

The Massie Patterson Carib
Singers who will appear at Jack
son College on Friday, November
II, have program of the true
Calypso music, songs that are new
to American ears. The group con-
sists of twelve singers, dancers,
drummers and musicians, and this
wonderful West Indian folk music
is given an absolutely authentic
presentation. 1t is the real ira
ditional Calypso, with none of the
Broadway night club vulgarities.
Beautifully costumed in the old
time styles of Jamaica, Trinidad
and Barbados, those singers give
their lovely songs with rhythms
fresh to American listeners, while
the dancing is all in the Island
style, again something new 1t is
fast moving show, generally live
ly and gay, but interspersed with
patios songs of great beauty, with
an occasional tragic note. From
Haiti, the songs showing voodoo
influence are very stirring and
dramatic.
All of their numbers are danced
as we'll as sung. The Islanders
get in such a festive mood, that
they cannot keep their feet or
bodies still, they are enjoying
themselves and so does the audi
ence. Whether it is a song about
two jealous, women, "Im a better
woman than you," because "When
| walk down the avenue, | get
more whistles than you" which
moves rapidly along to its logical
conclusion, hair pulling match
Or a song, Small Island" polk
ing fun at the newcomer "You
come from Trinidad in a fishing
boat, and now you're wearing a
great big overcoat," the mildly
acid humor will delight you.
The West Indian Dances cover
wide field because they are sub
Ject to many influences. The At
rlcan, of course, is the predomi-
nantly basic influence but it is
modified by the Spanish influence
in the Castillian, and the French,
together with the English Morris
Dancer technique.

Texas Suit Tests
Tu Color Barrier

WV DV9u W.
DALLAS - The first sustained
effort is being made to force the
University of Texas at Austin to
admit Negroes as undergraduate
students.
The school was one of the first
southern state-supported colleges
to accept Negroes as graduate STU
dents under a United States Su-
preme Court decree. But it has
continued to hold the line against
allowing Negroes in undergradu-
ate classes.
A federal district judge, Ben H.
Rice, Jr., will hear suit in the
January term of his court on a
motion filed by a Negro honor
graduate of Houston high school
who wants to enter the university
as freshman to begin work on
pre-engineering courses. The stu
dent, John w. Walker, plans to
study petroleum engineering. He
contends that he cannot obtain the
proper caurses leading to such a
degree at the two principal state
supported institutions of higher
learning for Negroes, Texas Sou
thern University and Prairie View
AIM College.
Accepted As Freshman
The youth is one of six young
Negroes who had been accepted
as freshmen by the Austin school
but later were denied entrance
when the registrar, H. Y. McCown,
advised them that the university
does not offer Negroes under
graduate courses which are not
available at Prairie View and Texas
Southern. The other five Negroes,
who plan to study engineering or
architecture, are reported already
to have entered all-Negro schools.
But the Walker petition, filed for
the youth by his uncle, H. Alex
ander Walker of Houston, as
serts that such facilities for teach
ing engineering do not compare
favorably with those offered by the
University of Texas. Mr.. Walker
says that his nephew also wants
to enroll in the Air Force Reserve
Officer Training Corps. There is
unit at the University in Austin,
but none at any of the state-sup-
ported Negro colleges.
Court Decision In 1850
The University of Texas, when
compelled to do so by the United
States Supreme Court in 1850, be-
came one of the first state colleges
in the South to admit Negro as a
graduate student, when it accepted
the application of Herman Marion
Sweat of Houston to enter the
law school. Mr. Sweat later drop
ped out, but it is estimated that
since the high court decree, more
than 300 Negroes have taken grad
uate work at the university.
The Walker petition has asked
Judge Rice to decide:
/. Whether the University of
/ Texas can require Negroes to take
freshman work at another school
after admitting that they are enti-
tied to take professional courses
at the university.
2. Whether Negroes can be re-
jected by the Austin school when
courses offered at the two prin-
cipal state-financed Negro colleges,
/ Texas Southern University and
Prairie View College, are not sub
stantially equal.
3. Whether the university vio-
lates the United States constitu-
ton in it's restrictions on Negroes.
Miss Gloria Bradford, attorney
for the Walkers, argued that under
the Sweat ruling the University of
Texas has Negro students now in
professional schools and that the
first-year instruction sought by the
professional category.
