And The RaffIe's Still on!"

Birmingham, England (ANP) -
A tempest in a teapot was stirred
last week at the College of Ad-
vanced Technology here, when Of
ficials of the school approved a
co-eds' plan to rattle off a girl to
a male student for one night of
diversion The male students OBJ
jected, saying the rattle was i'm
moral and smacked of slave trad
ing and vice mongering."
But the girls, sponsoring the
traffic to raise funds for their
athletic teams, stood pat. Jill Tea
que, 10, rattle chairman repeatedly
said: Wen find males interested
in winning a girl for a night" X.
L. Stretch, college vice principal
said he gave his final approval
after the girls convinced him they
will not go beyond the bounds OF
propriety." So =. the raffle's still
on!

Washington CAMP - President
John F. Kennedy indicated last
week that the Executive Branch of
the Government would take steps
to alleviate the pressure placed on
citizens of Fayette County, Tenn,
who were evicted from their homes
because they voted last November.
At his first press conference, the
President pointed out that he sup
ported legislation passed by Con-
gress last year which placed the
responsibility on the executive
branch to protect the rights Of
voting.
He said he is extremely inter-
ested in making sure that every
American is given the right to
cast his vote without prejudice to
his rights as a citizen. Therefore,
he conclude, II can state that
this Administration will pursue the
problem of providing that protec-
ton with all vigor."
1t was recalled that Kennedy's
first Executive order was aimed to
provide surplus foods to needy
families in this country. While
emphasis was placed on West Vir-
ginia where Mr.. Kennedy saw suf-
fering during his primary cam
paign, sources close to the Presi-
dent say that the order extends
to the suffering in other areas in
GLIDING the Tennessee situation.

ST. Paul University
Women Book Sole
Ser For March 3

win you donate used books to
help a woman doctor from BanlIok,
Thailand pursue her studies in dis
ease and return to her native land
to aid her country men,"
This is the question which the
st. Paul Branch of the American
Association Of University Women
is asking their members and the
community.
The annual book sale will be
held at the A.AU.W. Clubhouse at
800 Summit Av, st. Paul, on
March 3, and 4, as announced to-
day by Mrs. Robert Malone, 1893
Ashland Av.
A neighborhood pickup system
has been set up by Mrs. Malone
50 that a phone call will bring an
A.A.U.W. member to the door to
get the books, records or shee
music. Mrs E. B. Heinen, 1925
Ashland Avenue, Midway 6-2195
and Mrs. f. H. Simmer, 1893 Port
land Avenue, Midway 5-510S may
be called for book pick-ups.
International Grants were set up
following World War II as a sec
ton OF the general Fellowship pro-
gram. Its purpose was to aid
women whose studies were inter
rupted by the war and who could
not return to their bombed-out
often nonresident universities.
Today the scope of the grants
has been enlarged and today some
40 to so women are currently
studying in the United States to
refine their special profession and
then return to their homeland to
resume their work enriched and
better trained.
It is to aid this fund that the
book sale is held, as it is felt that
each book in a small measure con-
tributes to the raising of health
and educational standards in far
off lands.

Baker Post Aux.
Meets In New
LEGION CIubroom

Johnnie Baker Post Auxiliary
No. POI held its regular monthly
meeting January rs in the new
post clubrooms, 2941 Fifth Av. S.
Highlights of the meeting were re-
ports from committee chairman on
civil defense and legislation.
January is Civil Defense month
and the Importance of being pre-
pared for wartime and peace
time, as for fires, tornados, floods,
etc. Is stressed. Free courses are
offered thru the Red Cross in order
to save lives of families and others.
January is also Legislation
Month and the theme is Service
from the heart, strong in purpose
and united effort" The auxiliary's
work with the congress is one of
its most important tasks. Through
its efforts, the committee is per-
suaded to schedule hearings to con-
slider bills pertaining to the legion
and to go before the committee
concerned to plead its case and
ask for favorable consideration.
Letters and kilograms from in
dividuals, posts and units to their
senators and congressman urging
action on specific bills offer the
most effective help needed. The
most important elements in legis-
lative organizations are coopera-
ton and teamwork of post and
units because it is the people and
not the name of the organization
that influences Congress.
Mrs. Mary Swain and Mrs. Kath-
crime White were introduced and
welcomed as new members.
The Red Wing School for Boys
has invited members of the Fifth
District American Legion up to
the school for a visit in apprecia-
ton for money donated by various
posts for the purchase of an cleo
trio organ for the school chapel.

Howard U. Prof. LuUds Sif-In
Demonstrators A. Ethical
Society MEETING In Wash

Washington (ANP) - A cold
and hungry Negro who goes into
a small hotdog joint run by whites
and waits, standing up, to take
his meager lunch out in a paper
bag-can hardly consider. himself
a beneficiary of the unalienable
rights of life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness.
So said William A. Banner, a
professor of philosophy at Howard
University, in a talk to the Wash
ington Ethical Society last week.
Banner was illustrating his main
point that some laws are not in
keeping with morality and should
therefore be overturned, but not by
violence.
He chose the recent wave of
"sit-in" demonstrations by young
people, Negro and white, against
segregation in restaurants and
other places, as an example of dis
ciplined civil disobedience to I'M
just laws.
Too often, he said, laws are OBJ
served simply because they exist

for briefings on his new job as
deputy assistant Secretary of State

anxious to get to work at his new
job.
Rowan's salary will be $1S,500

zine articles will be cut off.
Rowan may still make speeches
before groups but the hoAorariums
for such talks must be donated to
charity by rule of the State De-
partment.
Asked about the financial loss
he will take Rowan said: "All of
us have been insisting upon Ne
groes receiving places of respon-
sibility in all walks of American
life. AS one who has preached this
theory, I would be remiss in my
duty to my people If was unwill-
ing to make some sacrifice for
what I believe. I accept this job
as an opportunity to prove that
there are men and women of color
in the us. willing not only to
make personal sacrifices to serve
their country hut also IN serve II
we'll"
Rowan's appointment is the
highest post ever held by an Amer
lean Negro in the us. State De-
partment in the couatry's history.
It is understood that Rowan
appointment came directly from
President Kennedy and it was one
of the few appointments not sought
by a recipient.
