New York, N. Y. Mar. 5 -
Eighteen Methodist ministers from

This crusade was the third spon-
sored by two Methodists boards.
Previous crusades were in 1852 and

Negro Engineering
Student First OF
Race To Report
For Football
Practice At
y. Of Virginia

George Harris, Negro Engineer
ing student at the University of
Virginia, was among approximate
ly 70 students who reported for
spring football practice at the
University last Monday.
Harris, a freshman the first man
of his race to enjoy this experience
at the famed Virginia institution,
was ruled ineligible for spring
drills because he only passed four
hours of work this past semester.
According to spokesman for
the University even if Harris were
permitted to work in the spring
drills, it is doubtful if he would be
eligible for any varsity competi-
ton next fall. Atlantic Coast Con-
ference rules requires that stu
dent must pass "a hours a year to
maintain eligibility. Thus, Harris,
former star quarterback for Dun
bar High School Of Lynchburg,
would have to pass 20 hours be-
tween now and next September.

Distribution Of
100000 Bibles
Slated For Africa

Nairobi, Kenya, Feb. 27 - Of
ficials of the British and Foreign
Bible Society plan to distribute
some 100000 Testaments and Scrip
ture portions in rs languages this
year to native church leaders in
Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika, and
the island of Zanzibar.
The Rev. Frank J. Bedford, So
ciety representative in eastern At
RIGA, said the planned distribution
would only alleviate the enormous
demand" for Christian literature
that has arisen in this area as a
result of increasing literacy among
Africans.

with the Demand" he said. Once
they learn to read, the Africans

ford said, with copies being sold
in some regions for as little as 10
East African cents Gust over l
cent United States).
He stressed that the campaign
to circulate nearly a half-million
Scriptures would supplement the
sale of complete Bibles which av-
erages about 10000 annually in
the area.
The society expects to being out,
about the end of this year, the
first complete Bible in another At

en- by the Wakamba tribes near
Nairobi.

crates were drawn to the Negro
side by "the simple human instinct
to champion the under log," but
that this "underdog" status will
disappear if forced indignation adj
vocates persist. At that point,
Faulkner says, his group would
"have to make a new choice" and
side with "that embattled White
minority who are our blood and
kim"
- Faulkner likens this choice to
that of many Southerners, includ
ing Robert E. Lee, in 1860 who
chose civil war rather than &C
cept alteration of racial condition
by mere force of law or economic
threat. He states that the North
erner has failed to recognize this
lesson of the Civil War and that
e still does not know the South.
"He can't know it from his dis
tance. He assumes that he is deal
ing with a simple legal theory and
moral idea. He is not. He is
dealing with a fact: The fact of
an emotional condition of such
fierce unanimity as to scorn the
fact that it is minority and which
will go to any length and against
anv odds at this moment to Justify
and, if necessary, defend that con-
dition and its right to it"
