Student Placement
Law Upheld In
Alabama

Birmingham, Ala. - Alabama's
school placement law does not con-
flict with the federal constitution,
a judge U. S. District Court
panel ruled Friday.
The unanimous decision was is
sued by U. S. Circuit Judge Rich
ard T. Rives and District Judges
Seybourn H. Lynne and H. Ho-
bart Grooms.
School placement laws in Vir-
ginia and Louisiana have been de-
clared invalid by the courts. A
similar law in North Carolina was
ruled constitutional.
Alabama's placement law gives
local school boards virtually un-
limited police power to say where
individual pupils must attend
classes.
The three judges said Alabama's
law is more like that of North
Carolina. It's formula for determ-
ming which school students attends
differs substantially from those of
Louisiana and Virginia.
The panel ruled against a petit
ton by the parents Of four Bir-
mingham Negro children who asked
for an injunction to keep school
authorities from using the law to
assign their children to classes.
Alabama's placement law "fur-
nishes the legal machinery for an
orderly administration of the pub
lie schools in a constitutional man.

Unless there is evidence of dis
elimination in application of the
law, the panel added, 1--WE must
presume it will be so administered
Tin a lawful manner)."
The law gives local boards the
sole authority to determine where
any pupil attends public schools.
It lists a number Of factors which
may be used in such decisions, in
cludlng CneSe:
Available room and teaching ia
cilities and transportation; scho-
lastic aptitude and relative intel
ligence or mental energy or abil-
ity of the pupil; psychological
qualifications of pupils for the
teaching and associations involved;
effect Of admission of pupils on
academic progress Of classmates;
possibility or threat Of friction or
disorder among pupils or others;
possibility of breaches Of the peace
or ill will or economic retaliation

this wealth of talent by investing
in hospitals and health institutions
where these scientists and those
OF other races can make great
contributions to the health of all
the people,"
On the subject of national unity
Of Negro leaders DR.. Jackson said:
"in the past our racial solidarity
has been most evident when we
have faced the fight against seq
regration and discrimination, but
when We are called to battle on
other fronts we become divided,
having almost as many camps as
there are leaders and opinions
among u.s."
The problem of Negro crime was
again attacked by William o.
Walker, the Negro publishers pres
ident in the keynote address of
the conference. In calling for the
formation of new organization
of Negro leaders to combat Negro
crime Mr.. Walker asserted that if
all the young Negroes who are now
in Jail for various crimes were in
schools we would soon be the best
educated group in the United
States.

w Welcome Back!

IT is WITH pleasure that we note the i'm
] minent return to action of the once po-
tent Central Committee of Greater Chicago
one time one of the most active such groups
within the Society.
Why this Central Committee ceased to
operate several years ago is - in a way =
no business of ours. We are here to pubicize
and not criticize in time of need.
Be that as it may, we welcome back the
members of the Central Committee of
Greater Chicago Lodges and wish them we'll
when they meet Sunday, June 1, in the Gro
attain Natl Sokol Home, 1908 So. Racine,
to reorganize their ranks and adopt pro-
gram of action in keeping with the times.
just what it was that brought the
Central Committee of Greater Chicago LODI
ges out of mothballs is open to speculation
from where we sit here in Pittsburgh
However and this is purely a guess
on Our part - we would say that the CFUs
history-making April 1921, 1858, Chicago
Training School for Lodge and Nest Off
cials whetted the desire of many to reac-
tivate this Central Committee.
If this is So then these Training Schools,
the second of which will be held June
next in Pittsburgh, are we'll worth the time
and trouble in the long run.
For once the School Instructors return
to the Home Office at Pittsburgh and re-
turn they must, then a Central Committee
in any given area can take over and give
further impetus to the lessons learned t'''--
ing these worthwhile classes.
Or so we prefer to think
K
Equally as interesting to note is t..at
with the return of the Central Committee
of Greater Chicago Lodges the Society will
shortly have two such groups operating in
that sector of America
Already a going concern there are the
United Croatian Fraternal Union Lodges
of South Chicago headed this year by Steve
Zelenika, President, John Bakovich, Vice
President, Joseph Vucich, Secretary, and
Frank M. Jorden, Treasurer.
We = the CFU - can use them both
to the advantage of the Society. And they,
in turn, can count on the Zajednicars Edi-
tors for what they need the most - pub
licity.
Now, forward on all fronts!

Refreshing

WE WOULD call the attention &. our
w readers to an article on this page deal
ing with Miss Lilly Vucanovic, foreign"
student at Bassick High School, Bridgeport
Conn, and member of Yugoslavia's 1860
Olympic Swimming Team.
What this pretty 16-year-old visitor to
these shores has 10 say about life in Amer
lea is indeed refreshing One is always re-
freshing when one sees fit to let the chips
fall where they may.
Among other things, the lives of stu
dents here in America impress Miss Vuca-
movie as being all wrong.
To her, everything appears to be: "Hur-
ry! Hurry! Girl meets boy, they fall in love
and get married, and life is at standstill
for them" Just like that.
Would our readers of high school age
buy Miss Vucanovics impression of them?
Or would they choose to differ?
We will be only too happy to hear from
them on these pages in the future.
So would Miss Vucanovic.

what she misses the most.

Twenty-Five Years On The USA Cultural Scene
Jadran Of Ahquippa In Review

Beaver County as a nom
profit organization in May,
1884.
During the past rs years,
the history of "Jadran" was
perhaps similar to that of
other nationality groups. 1t is
estimated that at least IS
members of the choral group
have inter-married while the
organization has been in ex-
istence.
Weathered Everything
There have been periods
when the group has been
small and other times, such as
in 1855, when we have had
as many as 81 members.
Our membership reached
its highest peak in 1888 when
we numbered Sc members and
it's lowest peak during World
War II, when most of the
male members were in the
Service and the female men,
bers were engaged in indus
try.
In the periods Of depres-
sion, war, or peace, "Jad-
ran" has given, without
fail, q concert every year.
Their repertoire has al
ways included songs of the
Croatians and other South
0Fn Sl8VS.
A unique honor was con-
ferred on the Society, when
Mr.. Krsto Odak composed the
music for the lyric which was
written by a member of the
group. The "Jadran Hymn"
is sung by the choir at every
appearance.
Also added to the "Jadran"
repertoire was the compost
ton composed in Aliquippa on
August %, 1865, by Prof. Ru-
dolph Matz, a world famous
cellist. Mr.. Matx is associated

ALIQUIPPA, Pa. - In
spired by the love of song and
desire to perpetuate the music
of their Croatian homeland, a
small group of Croatian Ame-
ricans long ago considered the
idea Of forming a Croatian
choral group here in Aliquip-
pa.
On May II, 1888, a large
group of Croatian people
gathered at the building
which is now Plodinec's
Warehouse (Annex) and laid
the groundwork Of such a
choir.
The plan was enthusias-
tically received and adOp-
ted after an earnest appeal
by the hate Stephen Horva-
itch and many others.
The initiation fee assessed
by the Committee was $500,
a considerable amount in
those depression days.
The Charter Officers were:
Stephen Horvatich, Pre- s.;
John Robash, Vice Pres. ;
Fred Stanichak, Sec'y.; Anne
lia Yardich, Treas; Mary
Thomas, Ivan Srbic, and Nick
Plodinec, Jr., Board of Trus-
tees members; and Frank Ma
tijasic and Joseph Puskarich,
Librarians.
Incorporated In 1884
The Choir Director was and
still is our own Michael Holo-
vach and the pianist Miss
Stella Graski, who approxi-
mately two years later be-
came Mrs. Holovach.
On May 21, 1888, Michael
Krnevich suggested the name
"Jadran" for the new group
and the suggestion was unan-
imously accepted.
The glee club was incor-
porated In the Court Of

with the Music Conservatory
Of zagreb, Croatia.
For The Good OF All
During our Is years of ex-
istence "Jadran" has ap-
peared in such cities as Cle-
veland, Ohio; Gary, Ind; So.
Chicago and Chicago proper
in Orchestra Hall; Johns
town, Pittsburgh, D Detroit,
Mich; and Welland, Ont,
Canada.
We have made many
friends wherever We have
gone and we have given the
town of Aliquippa a great
deal of free publicity.
The history Of "Jadran" is
an unselfish record of service
to the group, community,
church, state and nation.
Through it's past presi-
dents, both living and dead,
it's officers, director, and
members, the Croatian Sing
ing Society "Jadran" has re-
mained loyal to the great
ideals for which it was found
ed.
Fear Not The Future
It deserves we'll of all who
have benefited from it's SER
vices.
May the benign cultural
influences it has exercised
these past 25 years in ac-
cordance with it's magnifi-
cent slogan 'WOrk and
sing, these shall lead you to
freedom and culture" con-
tinue to point the way for
the future.
May God and Truth remind
us all on this Silver Anniver-
sary of "Jadran'' that they
are the only safe and sure
watchwords of any great peo-
pie and the surest guarantee
for self-preservation.

Startling Differences

Startling Differences
When Lilly first arrived
in the United States, the thing
that struck her as the most
different was our schools.
Uniforms are not worn in
public schools (she had a
black dress with a white COL
lar); girls can wear makeup
if they choose Tin Yugoslavia
not even lipstick is permis-
sable on the school grounds;
each student has a desk (in
Belgrade two share each
desk); discipline is not rigidly
enforced (students stand
W h e n speaking or being
spoken to in Yugoslavia); ;
and here grades are not skip
ped with regularity.
In all European countries
working to capacity and
skipping as many grades
as possible is advocated.
This system, Lilly feels,
may get one through school
but the subject matter is lost.
Too much learning in too lit
tie time is as bad as none at
all.
Grades are divided evenly

Lilly is attending Bassick

Here a month, she hopes to
remain almost two years, re-

in time for Olympic practice.
Less than two years ago,
this attractive teenager,
who practices daily, didn't
have the first idea of how
to approach the pool. Her
interests lay in other fields
of sports.
Then, through her school,
she became interested enough
to try this sport once.
She took to it like a duck
to water, and the summer of
1857 found her on a month
long tour giving swimming
exhibitions.
Awaits 1860 Olympiad
During this tour she trav-
eled with a team of four girls
and three boys, the instructor
and a chaperon.
