In the years that lie ahead We
must make sure that liberals of
both parties understand the be
trayal of their interests on the
one hand. by petty men consumed
by the fires of race hatred and
on the other hand. by men of
small vision and less principle
who serve as eager lackeys to the
economic royalists. No party

the labor movement No party

those whose goal in life is to re
turn the Negro to economic. social
and political slavery.
I'VE must further call to the
attention of the working people
of America the fact that rule of
the Congress Of the United States
by bipartisan coalition of reae,s
ionaries is made possible only
through antiquate and anti-demo-
cratic procedures designed to
deny the peoples will. The House

Perkins Predicts
Huge IT. of ID.
Enrolment By IA

Within the next Is years 5000
undergraduates will be enrolled at
the University of Delaware, sPresi-
dent John A. Perkins predicts in
his annual report for 1958-59.
This enrolment explosion from
the present $500 level will require
an additional $50 full-time faculty
members. a $50 increase in gross
instructional floor space and an
expenditure of about 20 million
dollars, exclusive of land and fur
nishings, DIR. Perkins estimates.
'sThe University of Delaware,
through it's long-range planning
study, has a reasonably accurate
and complete forecast of students,
faculty and buildings" DIR. Per-
kins writes. Estimates based on
the number of children already born
and in school indicate that our
campus undergraduate enrolment
will increase from the current g.
500 to roughly 5000 students Is
years hence. Slightly smaller pro-
portionate increases are expected
in our graduate school and exten-
sion division. All these included,
University enrollments will more
than double. In 1872 about $4,000
young people and adults will be
under instruction on full or part
time basis. Even with these great
er numbers, the University of Del
aware will be small by university
standards"
Because larger enrollments will
increase the university's efficiency,
the faculty will not have to be in
creased in direct proportion to the
size of the student body, DR.. Perk-
ms states.
Nevertheless" he observes, "the
resident teaching staff must grow
by about 80 percent4or $50 ful1-time
persons. These additions will give
needed strength to our graduate
and extension programs, too. A
smaller than SO per. cent increase
in our part-time extension staff is
expected. Part of the undergrad
uate teaching should be done by
graduate students as an aspect OF
additional doctoral curricula.
To accommodate more students
and faculty, the university's gross
Institutional floor space. will have
to be increased by $3.50, Dr.. Per-
kins believes. 1t is significant
however, he reports, that gross in
structional space per student credit

Balance the Diet and the Budge'

Balance the Diet and the Budgei
Boil it, broil it--mash it, hash il
-saute it souffle it-dice. slice or
rice it. Use the potato in every
course from soup through dessert,
says Florence Y. Smith. The po-
tato is the best friend the family
food budget has, on a year-in-year-
out basis. 1t makes the food dollar
go farther without reducing the
quality OF family meals.
Not only does the potato supply
a large number of valuable miner
ais, 1t is also an important source
of vitamin c. Every so often some
food faddist claims that potatoes
are 'fattening" because they con-
tain starches. 1t would make better
sense to say that potatoes are 1870
water, Mrs. Smith points out. Act
ually in addition to all its good
nutritive qualities, one medium
baked potato has only 95 calories.
To get more pleasure out of po-
tato eating, buy the firm, smooth
ones and don't store them in dry
places around the kitchen. They
will shrink more and be prone to
disease. II stored properly, pota-
toes will keep for several months,
blessing to the family budget.
You can keep the quality high by
storing them where the tempera-
ture hovers around 40 degrees. Let
them keep at 35 for any length of
time and they're likely to develop
an unpleasant sweet taste. The bin
Milford chronicle., 1959-12-11

should be high in humidity but not
wet, Mrs. Smith warns.
The most nutritious part of p0-
tatoes is just beneath the skin, so
cook them in their jackets when
ever possible. If not, keep peelings
thin. Plain baked potatoes are good,
but try scooping out the steaming
pulp, mashing it with sour cream,
chives and seasonings and refilling
potatoes for a final broiling.
Since potatoes are so delicious
and filling "as is", housewives sell
dom take advantage of the hund-
reds OF opportunities for potato
variety Mrs. Smith says. One of the
fastest and easiest "snacks with
difference" is a plate heaped up
with potato pancakes. Just crate
2 cups of raw potatoes and put into
Il cup milk. Add slightly beaten
egg, tablespoons of flour, tea
spoon salt, pepper, and / tablespoon
finely chopped onion. Drop from a
tablespoon onto a CREASED frying
pan. Cook until well Drowned and
crisp on both sides and serve i'm
mediately. You'll have the family
rushing you back to the kitchen
for more.

I'm the postwar years, knowl-
edge has burst as well as the birth
rate. Even if there were no stag
gering enrolment increases in the

universities would require many
more highly specialized faculty
members to make sure that stu
dents taking courses in the sci

ing instructed in reasonably up
