Something For Nothing

IL is human weakness of which all of us are guilty.
Hoping for something for nothing
YET all of US know, you get out of life what YOU
put into it.
There is no such thing something for nothing
Probably, something for-nothing is our countrv's
greatest weakness today.
All too Often most of vote for the political candi
date who offers us something for nothing.
All too often most of cheer the office holder who
by pungng our children deeper and deeper into debt Of
ters US something for-nothing.
All too often, most of us praise the emnlover who
gives us that which we haven't earned
All too often, most of stand loyal to the union
leader who gets paid for not working
Certainly we should support the candidate who
promises us more efficiency improved conditions bet
ter life wv
Certainly we must support the office holder who
does the same =.
Certainly employers and union leaders are proper
dedicated and should be held in respect for treating
workers right for adding to the dignity of their en-
poyees or members, for helping them help themselves
But there is a vast difference between something
for-nothing and better life.
Something nothing is fools paradise It can't
ast 1t is artificial against the laws of nature It in
cludes day of reckoning.
Wnlle earning your-way you have bought
ana paidfor your better life. It's yours. You own it.
Again, perhaps the wshfu thinking that makes us
expect nothing is our nations greatest
weakness today.
1t can well be more dangerous to our way of life
with lts freedom and its Of for and by the
people than all the ICBMs tested and stockpied in the

in the apartment of Miss Anna l..
Jackson; and later the same day,
Miss Jackson's body was recovered
from the wreckage of his automo-
bile which had driven over 100
foot embankment.
This tragedy has been listed by
police as a murder-suicide, with
Miss Jackson being charged with
taking both lives.
An investigation disclosed that
the two students had been carry
ing on a clandestine affair-Rob-
erts has wife, Barbara in New
York City, who at press time was
expecting multiple birth.
The class "jinx" had it's begin
ming in June 1857, when student
lovers again were arrayed against
each other. In this incident, Lola
Scott of Atlanta, was shot to death
by Howard Earle, of Atlanta, in a
fit of jealous rage.
Between these two tragedies was
the accidental death of George Ar
terberry, sophomore who work
ed his way through school as a
porter during vacations. He was
killed when a freight train struck
his car.
Tragedy comes in three, to para
phrase an old saying. Perhaps the
latest tragedy marks finis to the
ills which have plagued the Glass

the corridors at Meharry are won

African Freedom Day

The celebration of Africa Freedom Day" in New
York in Africa and pretty well everywhere in the world
yesterday calls attention again to of the outstanding
phenomena of the contemporary world This is the sud-
den, thrilling agonizng upheava of the African races
after countless centuries of prmveness subsection and
isolation from the civilized world.
The pressure for emancipation from imperialism"
and coloniaism is already formidable and it is grow
ing at acceeratng pace The Onetme colonies of the
British Empire either independent like Ghana,
the way to freedom like Nigeria The French colonies
free stay within to leave the French Commun-
ty, and Guinea has already opted for independence.
The Begians and the Portuguese rolling with the
punch and trying to into autonomy gradually The
Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaand has been having
grave trouble owing to the discomfort of the overwhem
ing number of Black Africans compared to the Euro
peans." South Africa is holding grmly to it's racst
apartheid.
The problem, taken as a whole is one of the most
difficult that the Western world has yet faced The
Communist world of course, is making hay. This is
wonderful opportunity, from their point of view to es-
pouse the of independence Moscow as Lenin saw
forty years ago. has everything to gain and nothing to
lose by such tactic The West cannot oppose dam
against this irresistible tidal wave but neither can
yield too suddenly The task that calls for equal
craftsmanship and understanding on the part of the
Africans.
1t must be said in connection with the ceremony held
IN New York last night that there singular lack of
SUCH craftsmanship in pontedy emitting invitations to
Israeli representatives Africans like all of u.s. must
realize that freedom is not divisble.

ment law was not discriminatory,
but district court judge warned
that administration of it might
make matters different.
The Dumas school district bill
would allow patrons of any school
to vote whether or not to with
draw from school system. The
thought is that if one school is
ordered integrated, all schools in
system would have to be closed
if that one school should be closed.
This is based on the federal court
ruling in the Virginia case.
The district plan, according to
Senator Dumas, is feasible, and he
has said that both he and Attorney
Johnston believe that "this bill is
about as good a measure as it is
possible for US to prepare" He
said that eve feel that the bill
would be upheld as valid on its
face and unless a district were
badly gerrymandered, or the act
otherwise abused, probably valid
in operation"
Closing Possible
The state senator comedies that
some schools in the state might be
closed. But he seems to believe
that there are many districts in the
state where the Negro-white popu-
lation pattern is such that new
school system boundaries, for one
CT many schools, might be drawn
so as to keep open schools in all
white or all-Negro areas. T h G
feasibility of this, of course, re-
mains to be seen.
Senator Dumas says that the
matter of financing will not be
difficult. School money would be
funneled under the independent
school district plan in much the
same manner as it is now dis
tributed by county boards to city
boards of education.
Local Choice Offered
Mechanics for bringing about
withdrawal of one or more school:
from a given system now in opera
ton would be relatively simple. Or
petition of 200 qualified voters of {
given area, or 10 per cent of the
qualified electors, whichever wa.
smallest. the board of education
of any city or county system coult
approve an election.
If a majority in the specified
school area voted for Withdrawal
and creation Of separate system
this would be followed by an cleo
ton for a board of education fol
the Independent system, except tina
in creation of the first such boart
appointment would be either by I
municipal government or a count,
government, whichever had hell
jurisdiction over the area involved

At a workshop on interracial

He referred to the U. S. Bishops

"Never before has the prestige

ed that Campbell College afforded
each of its students, curriculum,
a career, and Christian Emphasis,
and that Campbell was the only
such Jr. College in the state with
a program of this nature. Bishop
Frederick D. Jordan, Chairman of
the Board of Trustees, participated
in this program; and in his ap-
proach to this student assembly, he
directed that the interest of the
student should be placed more on
current events, and world condi-
tions. The Bishop announced to
the assembly that this was a time
for professional services on an I'M
limited basis, and that as a member
of a minority group, preparations
should be thorough in order that
one could excel.
Mr.. A. A. Alexander, Supervis-

marks and emphasized the import
ance of young people availing
themselves of the opportunity to
continue their education at institu-
tons of higher learning. Mr.. Alex

the students were guided over the
campus, and then, proceeded to the
various guidance clinics which were
set up in the field Of education,
business, cosmetology, theology,
athletics, science, and administra-
ton. The Compbell College Faculty
served as guidance counselors. The
