The AIcorn Family
In Christmas
Festive Mood

The Dining hall was the scene of
a faculty student fellowship Dec
ember 10th. The administrative
staff, the President of the Student
Council and Her Majesty, Miss An
ME r. Stewart, symbol of Alcorn's
feminine charm in 1868, sat with
the President and Mrs. Boyd. The
faculty and students filled the din
ing hall as the traditional bird of
the season stopped to the tune of
the Turkey Gobbler. There were
candles Of various colors on the
tables and the meal was delicious
with turkey and all the trimmings.
A splendid exhibit of talent was
in evidence. The festive atmosphere
was set by Dean R. E. Waters, as
he read with deep Interpretation a
Christmas mediation giving the
mood, quality and tone Of the oc-
casion. The Dean was Master of
Ceremony. And everything on the
program was exceptionally good.
There were many musical selec-
tons, a solo by Billie Dutson, and
Mr.. Frank Purnell, of the Athletic
staff, did an extraordinary rendi-
ton of white Christmas. A we'll
trained sextet rendered two Christ
mas carols, Mr.. Hamlin, Director
of the Department of Music, did a
Clarinet solo and Don Dillon was in
rare form as his band presented
a kind of a medley and several
musical numbers symbolic of the
spirit of the season. Mr.. C. T.
Carpenter presented a baked tur-
key, with all the trimmings, to the
President and Mrs. Boyd as flood
light of cameras blinked recordings
of the event for the history book.
Mr.. E. S. Burks, Chairman of the
Committee, presented the Sterling
Silver gift from the faculty, and
staff to President and Mrs. j. D..
Boyd. His remarks were suitable
for the occasion.
Mrs. Burks acknowledged the
members of the committee which
were as follows: Dean R. E. Waters,
Mrs. C. T. Carpenter, Dean C. l..
King, Mrs. Jean Dungee, Mr.. Cal
vim Williams and Mr.. H. r. Ed
wards.
The highlight of the occasion was
the speech by the president. In
solemn dignity and calm, Presi-
dent Boyd asked the students to
"keep on keeping the faith. He
referred to that Birth, which in it
self, is the significant feature of
the greatest story ever told. Ac-
cepting the gift, the president
praised the givers, using the ex-
pression:, "The gift without the

Diggs Urges
CONTINUED from Page One)

"our Nation needs to be eduacted
on the tremendous significance Of
development in Africa"
Diggs sharply criticized the
small amount of United States Geo.
nomic and cultural aid being d.
rected to African countries. He
said that Russia is spending huge
sums in giving Africans technical
and educational assistance.
The Communists, Diggs remind
ed, are taking full advantage of
African concern about the racial
problem in America.
He noted, however, that Africans
seem to be unimpressed by the
struggle between East and West
and show no indication of using
the cold war to bargain for aid.
This attitude, he felt, is substanti-
ated by the Conferences adoption
of firm policy of positive neu-
tralism."
Commenting ON the Conferences
aim of creating a United States
of Africa, Diggs said that African
leaders are aware of the many ex-
ternal and internal problems they
must overcome.
AFRICAN leaders," he observed,
Willingly admit that they will
make mistakes but they will want
them to be their own mistakes"
Diggs described an underlying
power struggle between Nkrumah
and Nasser of Egypt which was
dfamatized by the unsuccessful at
tempt of the Fro-Russian United
Arab Republic delegation to domi-
nate the Conference. This subtle
tug-of-war, he said, may present
a threat to Nkrumah's desire for
a non-violent African revolution
which would employ econofic boy
colts and similar passive measures.
Revealing that he seeks to be
assigned to the House Foreign At
fairs Committee when Congress re-
convenes in January, Diggs felt
that he could make a contribution
to sounder relations between the
United States and Africa during
this critical period"
