New Buildings
AZ Fisk To
Cost S885,oo0

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-Plans for
the construction Of two additional
buildings on the Fisk University
campus have been announced by
the university's interim administra-
tive committee.
These buildings are part Of the
$1,75O,OOO reorganization plan en-
visioned by the late President
Charles S. Johnson, and carried
forward since his sudden death
last October by the interim adj
ministration. The new buildings
will be erected at combined cost
of 1856, 900, and are being financed
by loan from the Communities
Facilities Administration.
One of the proposed buildings
is a dormitory to house $50 stu
dents. Tentative plans adapt it
for co-educational usage. This
would become the first co-educa-
tional dormitory on Fisk's campus,
and one of the few of its kind in
the nation.
The building would have sepa-
rate wings for men and women,
but common lounges and foyers.
1t would be used as a co-educa-
tional housing unit primarily dur
ing summer workshops and con-
ferences, but would provide flexible
housing accommodations during
the regular school term also. Sig
nificant economies in operating
costs are expected to be realized
with this new type of dormitory, it
was revealed by Isaiah T. Creswell,
university comptroller.
The second building will be a
combined dining hall and student
union. It's main dining room will
accommodate 600 persons. 1t will
house all food services for the
campus, bookstore, post office,
a snack bar, student lounges and
office space for student organiza-
tons.
Both buildings will probably have
air conditioning, and will incorpor-
ate many recent advances in edu-
cational architecture.
Work will begin about July l,
and the buildings are expected to
be ready for occupancy by Septem-
Der, 1858.

Little Paper
Helps UMcF

New York-April PA little A.
page newspaper, priced at 5 cents
a copy, and put out by group of
11-year-olds, reaped one of the
happiest contributions to reach the
United Negro College Funds 14th
annual appeal.
Not content with working on a
plan to support foreign relief,
Glass 81 of Public School SO, the
Bronx, voted also to "help people
within our own borders" Their
history lessons had made them
aware of great Negro leaders and
of the people of Montgomery, Ala.
In their own way they felt it i'm
portant that they help Negroes who
are seeking achievement and en-
lightment in the face of great odds.
They thought the United Negro
College Fund was ideal for relay
ing their message.
Mrs. Edith Wilmer, teacher of
the class, suggested a newspaper
that could be sold to other classes
at P. s. SO. Thus, Junior Journal
was born. 1t was dedicated to "all
fighters for freedom" Poems, his
torical sketches, news stories, illus
trations, questions and answers
and interviews were included in the
paper. Junior Journal" was sold
to students, parents and neighbors.
In her letter to the UNCF, with
a $3.50 check, Mrs.. Wilmer wrote,
II wish you could have seen the
enthusiasm and pride that shone
from their faces when they counted
the pennies, nickels and dimes. We
hope the small sum we are enclos-
ing will in some way help in your
great undertaking."
Lee Hastings Bristol, national
campaign chairman of the 14th an
nual appeal, was also enthusiastic
and proud. In q letter to the young
sters, he said, eve are happy over
you interest in your fellow Ameri-
cans, and in people in need-where-
ever they happen to be-"

South began at Prentiss. These
agents are assistants to the vari-
Gus county superintendent of edu-
cation and supervisors of Negro
Public Schools. Today there are II
states with such agents in the
South.
In 1913 the first Negro farm
extension agent in the state of
Mississippi began his work at Prem
tiss. In 1913 the American Sun
day School Union, with headquar-
tiers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
began it's work in the South for
Negroes at Prentiss.
The Institute has always been
community school, concerned first
with local needs and problems.
Never has majority of it's stu
dents resided outside of the county.
A community appeal for help was
made by the teachers, high school
graduates, who were interested in
furthering their education in a
school which could offer some OPP
portunity for progression, rather
than attend the summer normals
then in vogue. In answer to this
appeal the two years of teacher
training were added in the year
1910. The State Department of
Education approved the Institute
for certification of teachers.
On November 10, 1853, Prof. ].
E. Johnson passed to his heavenly
reward. However, the tenets upon
which the school was founded have
remained unchanged. On April 20,
1854, the board of trustees elected
Mrs. ]. E. johnson to succeed her
late husband as President.

An Easter PRAYER

Father of all mankind, kneel to pray with grateful
hearts.
In the weeks of preparation for this Easter Day. we
have reaffi our faith, have rededicated
selves and our lives to Thy service.
In contemplation of the miracle of the Resurrection
the clouds of doubt and fear have been dispersed
from our minds, that might more perfectly re-
joice in all that this day means.
Help to keep this clarity of vision in the days to come
that, trusting in Thy infinite mercy, may no
longer be in slavery to fear of the future.
Give not only the gift of appreciation of the happiness
that is in our homes and with dear ones but
help us to keep that happiness with understanding,
free from selfishness and self will.
Touch the hearts of those of us in sorrow with Thy
healing hand that may look across the graves of
our hopes to Thy glorious morning.
Undue with courage those of who are faint of heart
and weary of spirit, that may work with renewed
strength, resting in trust in Thee.
Teach all to be valiant fighters for the right unfater
ing in our purpose to help bring Thy Kingdom to
earth, with peace and justice for all men.
In the of Thy Son, whose Resurrection we cee-
brate, we ask this
Amen

The Rule OF Law-Or Violence

1t easy to write about longshoreman crime along
the water fronts of New York City, to speak out
against attacks by thugs Victor Reise, against
any other criminal elements which threaten the fabric
OF decent society in a faraway places.
It's little more difficult to speak out against vo-
lence when strikes close to home, has done in
recent weeks at nearby Camden. Yet it makes no sense
to become ncensed at injustice abroad and to ignore or
excuse it at home.
Those of us who fail to condemn racial violence sane
ton it by silence. Those of us who follow false lead
ers and fail to discriminate between demagoguery and
the truth guilty of creating climate in which social
injustice triumphs
