President Reddix To
Teach Math Class

At a time when college presi-
dents are generally hard pressed
in an effort to solve the problems
of mounting enrollments, made
quate housing, limited classroom
facilities, and all of the other prob
lens confronting che who has the
task of guiding the destiny of an
institution of higher learning
President Jacob L. Reddix of Jack
son State College has added class
in mathematics to his enormous
load. The main reason for the
Jackson State Heads return to the
classroom after an absence of Is
years is his interest in trying to
encourage more young people to
enter scientific fields. Realizing
that the big obstacle facing many
present-day students who may
have an interest in certain scien-
tific fields, he returned to active
teaching to do his bit toward help
ing these young people. 1t was
not an easy task, however, to con-
vince Dean H. T. Sampson, who
looked at the proposal with mis-
givings, that he should be assigned
to teach the course in "Pre- College
Mathematics 101" for at least
the first two quarters so that he
might have an opportunity to help
some of the freshmen students
lover the hump" and thereby en-
courage them to pursue courses
in higher mathematics and eventu-
ally into some field where a good
background in mathematics is fun
damental. With the scores of prob-
lens facing President Reddix daily,
the Dean feared his ability to meet
classes regularly and pondered the
problems resulting from this. To
everyone's surprise but his own
however, he has met his classes
with amazing regularity. Recently
on trip to Texas for an important
meeting he departed early and took
plane back to Jackson in order
to meet his class.
Although President Red d X
speaks of "nurturing" and "bottle
feeding," he wants it clearly under
stood that the course he is teaching
is not especially remedial one
He feels that very few people fail
mathematics because they don't
have the ability. "Most people
who fail mathematics courses fail
them because they don't work hard
enough and because they are not
systematic in their thinking" he
says. In trying to motivate stu
dents enrolled in his course which
meets Tuesdays, Thursdays, and
Saturdays at 500 am, President
Reddix cites employment oppor-
tunities for persons we'll trained in

The State Department spokes-
man said the Magloire government
took the position that the Haitian
Constitution specifically guaran,

government did not need to give
any pledge other than that.
Since Haiti had always respected
the rights of American citizens and
welcomed both Protestant and Ro-
man Catholic missionaries, the

And still we can't sell all of them.
"Our roadside market provided

"But We haven't yet exhausted
all our resources" he added.
He said townspeople would not
buy from the farm and would not
sell to them.

In town, James R. Balir, pub
Usher of The American Times-Re-

many opponents of the farm.

"A lot of people ask me why I
don't go out there and clean out

they do there .sn't much I can do"
The violence and the boycotts
started after an attempt last sum-
mer to establish an integrated
youth camp on the farm. An iu-
junction by the county on the
ground of health and sanitation,
delayed the opening of the camp.
The injunction was dissolved in
September when the question be-
came a moot" point at summers
end.

mittee rules adopted on Jan. %.
The only Democratic vote he got
was his own. Several Democrats
on the committee explained that
they had voted mo" because they
were afraid that by throwing the
rules fight wide open again they
would upset the gains they already
had won in the liberalization of the
committee rules last month. They
thought Mr.. Powell had made a
tactical error in the way he had ap-
preached the problem.
Sees Discrimination
Mr. Powell, one of three Negroes
in Congress contended that he was
Disseminated against on racial
grounds in the announcement Of 5
subcommittee chairmen. The chair
men were chosen in the order of
seniority, except Mr.. Powell, sec
ond ranking member. The appoint
ment was passed over.
In the meeting, representative
Graham Barden, Democrat of
North Carolina, accepted full re-
sponsibility for the appointments
and completely disclaimed the in
fluence of racial factors. Mr.. Bar
den, chairman of the full committee,
said later that in the course of his
remarks he had looked at Mr.. Pow
ell and declared:
you know the reasons back of
my not appointing you and you
never mentioned one of them"
Mr.. Barden, recounting this, adj
ded: HE didn't say a word" Mr..
Barden would not add to the i'm
plication.
There was some confusion in the
reports about what had preceded
the vote. Mr.. Powell said he had
moved to reconsider Rule III. The
rule gives the chairman authority
to appoint all subcommittee. Mr..
Powell said that Mr.. Barden had
ruled it out of order on the ground
that a motion to reconsider would
have to apply to all the rules.
Mr.. Barden said Mr.. Powell had
moved to reconsider the vote by
which all the rules were adopted
on Jan. % for the purpose of
amending them to impose senior
ity provision. The chairman said
he had told Mr.. Powell that the
two points reconsideration and
amendment-would have to be dealt
with in separate motions and that
- Mr. Powell agreed.
Other Democrats said that if
Mr.. Powell had made a straight
motion to amend he would have
given them a clear-cut issue on
which they could have supported
him. Mr.. Barden thought that
would have been out of order.
The votes for the motion, be-
sides Mr.. Powell's were cast by
the following: Stuyvesant Vain
wright of New York's Suffolk Mas
sau district; Robert P. Griffin Of
Michigan and Harry G. Haskell Jr.,
of Delaware. all Republicans.
Under the new rule regular meet
ings of the committee are required
and subcommittee with definite
jurisdictions are established.
Mr. Powell also complained af-
terward that Mr.. Barden had been
inconsistent in his rulings in that
he had proposed expanding the
subcommittee on labor management
relations from five to seven mem
bers without using the reconsidera-
ton procedure.
Mr.. Barden said this was done
by unconscious consent-including
Mr.. Powell's under which any
rules could be suspended.

Information On
Social Security
By Luther N. Davis

Farm landowners as well as
sharecroppers may now be self
employed for social security pur-
poses. The. income a farm land
owner receives from a share
farming agreement is covered by
a recent change in the social Sc
curly law If the rental agree
ment calls for the farmer to take
an important part in the operation
of the farm and he actually does
so.
This provision Of the new law is
met if the farmer participates to
a material degree in the produc-
ton or management of a crop or
livestock on land he rents. Share
troopers have been covered as
self-employed since the beginning
of 1855. The new law covering
landowners applies to all types
of farm rental arrangements in
Guiding cash rent, standing rent,
share rental and share-farming
arrangements.
The landowner who materially
participates in the operation of
his farm should report his net
earnings for 1856 for social secur-
ity purposes at the time he files
his income tax return after the
close Of the year. Farmers who
would like more information re-
garding this new phase of the law
should contact their nearest So
cial security office.

three independent telephone COM
panies are furnished long dis
lance connectors from the local

Some other facts can be gath
cred from F. A. McRae, Western
Electric Supervisor. Mr. McRae
and his 10 Western Electric In
Istallers are connecting the new
equipment. When completed in
late April, there will be total of
48 positions. Adding the nine new
positions will cost about $4,000
and require 1000 man hours and
thousands of connections.
The Western Electric Installers
are using over 500 blueprints as
guides to make the intricate and
delicate connections. If all the
blueprints were placed in one
