Recent heavy rains in the area
proved too much for the cinder-
block retaining wall between
TWinbrook's swimming and wad-
ing pools last Saturday and the
wall collapsed.
The damage, which is lamented
both because of the repairs it
will necessitate and the fact that
TWinbrook residents built the
structure with personal labor,
was discovered by Durant Bur-
ton and first reported by Merle
1 Firor.
Aaron PoSner and Dolf LANCE
worked all morning shoveling the
dirt back into place, and with the
help of Gordon Rudd, Bob Salo-
schin, Clyde Hardin and Dick
Davis, they were able to shore
up the walls. The walls will not
be rebuilt for while, but don't
be alarmed. They can be fixed
quite easily, but the fill will be
allowed to dry out first.
The rain also set back the land
scaping, so volunteers will be
needed again this weekend. The
club room under the bathhouse
needs only a floor and a heating
unit, and it will be ready for COM
munity use.
The many contributions to the
community (from Saturdays fin

PTA art work., by Dolf and Dag

of the term ever since they moved

An interim committee to draw
up code of conduct and to out
line procedures for the reinstate-
ment of suspended sororities and
fraternities has been established
at Morgan State College, according
to recent announcement by
President Martin D. Jenkins. The
faculty voted on March 8 to sus-
pend the fraternal groups, effec-

ternities on the campus. This code
must then be submitted to the
faculty Executive Council for ap-
proval. Once approved, each sor-
ority and fraternity, in applying
for reinstatement, must certify in
writing it's intention to subscribe to
the code.
Dean Grant said it is anticipated
that all fraternities and sororities
will be reinstated as of February

Sports Closeup
By
Fritz Pollard

NEW YORK, (GlobaD. = Wheny
Arch Ward conceived the idea of
an annual baseball game played
by stars, voted on by fans, from
each of the leagues, he came up
with a &od one. 1t must have
been rewarding to him to see the
all-stal game become a national
classic, and it was significant that
he was given final rites on the
very day this. years game was
played.
But Arch Wards idea had an
effect which he probably never
dreamed of. After Negroes weLG
allowed in the Major leagues, a
game was never held without a
Negro in the lineup. This was sig
nificant for a number of reasons.
Not only did it prove that Negroes
were big league material, but it
showed also that the fans want to
see stars play, whatever their col
or, and they can forget PARTISAN
ship for one afternoon and root for
their lea gue's representative,
whether he comes from rival
team or not, and whatever his
color. q
And so, Arch Ward did a great
thing for baseball when he pro-
posed the all-Star game. But he
also did a fine thing for race re-
lations, since this has provided an
opportunity for fans to speak out
and name their favorites. This
they have done and their choices
of the best-regardless of race
have been most eloquent.
