Regents and the new president on
whether his affiliation and ad-
herence to Mormon religion will
effect his conduct in the affairs of
the state university which has a
policy of DETERMINATION with
which it's officials in the past
decade have attempted to rigidly
comply.
1t is understood some members
of the Mormon church, particular
ly men in the field of education
have long been FESTIVE under the
anti-Negro position Of the church
which is set forth boldly in its
rules and bible, but nothing has
been done to change the policy.
It is understood from inquiry
from local members Of the Nor
mon church that DR.. Wilson is
among the members of the faith
who have been trying to change
the Mormon's anti-Negro doctrine.

LAS president of a university it is
difficult enough for me to make
the proper distinction among ply
sicists, anthropologists, philoso-
piers and linguists.
Il do not find it appropriate nor
do l find time to make distinctions
among men because of color or
creed"
The question Of the religious
affiliation of DR. Meredith Wilson,
the newly elected president of the
University Of Minnesota was raised
this week when it was learned that
DR.. Wilson is practicing member
of the Mormon church
Mormon doctrine is unfriendly to
Negroes and they are not welcome
in that church.
Minnesotans who called this
newspaper had learned that DR..
Wilson was not questioned by the
Board of Regents on this facet of
his background. The paper i'm
mediately made inquiries from sew
eral sources and finally reached
DR.. Wilson in Mexico.
Many orthodox practicing Nor
mons it is alleged say the Negro
is unworthy because the race has
been cursed by the mark Of the
beast"
Some Mormons say Negroes are
admitted to the church but may
not aspire to the priesthood. Others
say the church forbids conversion
of Negroes to that faith.
The knowledge that the new
President of the University of
Minnesota was of the Mormon
faith seems to have just dawned
on most Negroes and many whites
this week.
1t is expected that the human
rights groups in the state will
make an effort to have a clear
cut statement from the Board of

$25, 031.18 over the assets of $51, =
654 reported one year ago.
Royal Gooden, secretary-treas-
urer attributed the phenomenal in
crease to the hard work of credit

organization to its members and
encouraging them to increase share

of the union.

sided; Wilbur Cartwright, chair

Principal Says:
NAACP Should
Use Energy To
RoiSe Levels

Fred P. Roessel, principal at
Lincoln Junior high school, describ-
ed by civic and human relations
leaders as a man of high leadership
bility, told the Minneapolis
branch, NAACP audience Sunday,
Jan. 16, that the organization
would do well to use some if its
energies and frontal attack in the
area Of raising the cultural level
Of the minorities.
DR.. Roessel, speaking as an edu-
Gator, stated that his feeling in
the matter was based on his de-
termined effort to help minorities
in their fight for justice and equal
ity.
The speaker who has worked out
many problems in the so-called
troubled area Of Lincoln Junior
high and in the school itself ex-
pressed his dissatisfaction with
help which could he believes come
from homes and parents or some
dependable persons in the commun-
ity.
He stressed the fact that the
problem Of lack of proper lay help
is general throughout Minneapolis
but because he was speaking to
an NAACP audience and because
Of some Of his experiences, he felt
some Of the blame must be laid
on the doorstep Of minority ciu-
zens.
Centering his talk around rails
ing the cultural level DR.. Roes-
sci cited actual cases which he and
his staff had encountered where
lack of home guidance and lethar-
BY among adults was probably re-
sponsible for breakdown of morale
in very promising children, often

who became poor students, event.
ually losing all interest in educa-
ton.
Here again he stressed the point
that though this is a problem not
particularly peculiar to minorities,
the percentage he feels is much
too high among some minorities.
The speaker called for volun-
teers among dependable citizens
to serve in the capacity of Big
Brothers and Big Sisters to aid in
the many cases of sensitive, frus-
trated youngsters who need help
outside the home and school.

Brother or Big Sister may call

SOCIALISM MOVING RIGHT?

All over the world there are indications
that an abandonment of some of the principal
concepts of socialism is taking place.
Although as yet this is confined to some
of the intelligent socialist leaders, for the
most part, it is significant. The best example
of this trend can be seen in the behavior and
statements of Hugh Gaitskill, head of the
labor (Socialist) Party in Great Britain
Recently, he has suggested that the Labor
Party change its basic dogma, with a clear
statement that the Labor Party does not in
tend to take over everything. This position
taken by the leader of the Labor Party-has
caused a split in the Labor Party which has
not been equalled in some thirty years.
The same process is taking place in Japan.
A new party has been organized in Japan,
and this group is not willing to go as far,
along the socialist road, as the traditional
socialist in japan.
In Germany, something of the same thing
is afoot. The socialist party in West Germ
any has capitulated to the trend.
This series of developments along with
recent elections in Canada, the United States
and Great Britain, which showed that the
voters were tending toward conservative pol
icies, is influencing the thinking of politi-
clans everywhere.
1t even has its repercussiOns on the Uni
ted States political scene, pertaining to the
1860 presidential election. There are those
who believe that the result of this trend will
make it inevitable that moderate will win
the 1860 election.
Whether these conclusions are justified
and accurate, only time viii tell. However,
it seems that the day of the leftwingers is
certainly not getting closer, but drawing far
ther away.
