If the Howard student of to-
day is militant, part of the
reason comes from the in
fluence of the university. How
ard always has been a leader
in civil rights.
Il remember that to me the
image of Howard used to be
in passing the law school at
night and seeing the lights
burning on the top floor" a
noted Howard professor said.
They were battling out the
civil rights fights which led
to the Supreme Court deci-
sions."
In those days, as another
professor pointed out, The en-
tire faculty was oriented
around civil rights"
Many Alumni Are Leaders
Howard's emphasis on civil
rights has resulted in the train
ing of men who have carried
the burden of legal argument
in segregation cases through
out the Nation.
Among those who have stud
Jed in the law school under
the late Charles H. Houston
and DR.. Nabrit are Thurgood
Marshall of the NAACP;
SpottSwood w. Robinson, III,
present law school dean, who
was appointed by Pres
ident Kennedy to the Civil
Rights Commission, and A. P.
Tureaud, attorney who spear
headed the court suits to in
tegrate New Orleans schools.
Other Howard men who have
been in the news recently are
z. Alexander LOBBY, a Nash
vile (Tenn0 lawyer and inte-
grafton leader whose home was
bombed a year ago, and Oliver
w. Hill, who has represented
Negro students in desegrega-
ton cases. Mr.. Hill now is

If I said this is going to happen
in a short time.
Even in the North, where
equality is written into the law
and lip service is paid to the
principle, the Negro is discrim-
mated against in every form
and fashion without exception.
You can start in New England
and 60 all the way across the
country to California and find
this to be true. There's a great
difference between theoretical
acceptance of equality and a
genuine acceptance.
IF I had a magic wand and
could wave 1t across the whole
country so that every American
would accept the principle of
equality. it would be 25 years
before the Negro would be in
the position to take advantage
of it.
He cannot compete now
with people who have better
training, better economic ad-
vantages, better health, better
housing, better environment,
better everything.
1T would be Is years before
you could remove the results of
what has happened.
"Of course" he continued,
I'm always aware and always
hopeful that something could
occur which would greatly ac-
celerate the principle of accept
ance. But nothing can wipe
ont what has happened"
In the meantime, Howard
University, which in the past
was said to provide the cap
stone of Negro education in the
United States" will continue
training students who will be
the Negro leaders Of tomorrow.
And the university will work
toward the solution of what
DR.. Nabrit calls the great So
cial and economic problems Of
race"

Russian Visitor

LONDON, June l (AP).-
Nine. Ekatarina Furtseva, So
Wet Minister for Culture, will be
in Britain June 1916 on an
official visit, during which she
plans to attend the opening
performance of the Leningrad
State Ballet,
Evening star., 1961-06-01

of course, I went back to st.
Paul for my illustration.
The demonstration had a
two-fold result: First, 1t really
dealt with the current interest
of the students. And then here
we are always conscious that
our men have to be trained
to be versatile. That's one in
cident where the subject dealt
Exclusively with our minority
group"
Study Other Issues
Other examples he cited were
his seminar on race relations
where they discussed the Little
Rock integration story and ed
itorials in Washington papers
about Southwest redevelop-
ment and what it means to
the Negro.
In a course in psychology
students are learning, as a girl
from Los Angeles said, some
of the thought behind white
supremacy"
These are tangible signs of
Howard's influence on its stu
dents. Others, less easy to
discern. are perhaps more i'm
portant.
"One of the best things that
has happened to the Negro is
seeing that the Negro professor
at Howard is just as good or
better than the white profess
sor," a historian said. This
gives the students inspiration,
a feeling that If they can do
it, so can l."
Has Influence Elsewhere
OF Howard's influence on Ne
groes in other sections of the
country, one Of the best testi-
monials was given by a student
who had participated in sit-in
demonstrations while attending
q Negro college in the South.
He mentioned how impressed
he and his friends there were
when they heard that Howard
students, too, were staging Sit
ms. -.----
THE Howard student was
saying, in effect. to the stu
dents in the South that you
are not the only ones who
have problems. 1t adds more
fuel to the fire, to bar no
cliche. 1t makes the Southern
students more dedicated.
You see, most of the South
ern students think of Washing
ton as a Northern city. as a
liberal city, and when the stu

opportunity to people who arr
handicapped economically anc
socially.
II had a rather naive view
Of race relations until I came
to Howard. Since I've beer
here I've become more aware
of my identity as a Negro"
That identity is established
at Howard in a number o1
ways.
1--WE lose no opportunity tc
place before our students the
fact that they have to under
stand racial motivations," g
sociology professor said. They
must be prepared to face cer-
tain things when they graduate
I'VE throw out for discus
sion such things as the migra-
tion to the cities. How could
you miss the fact that the Ne
gro is being pushed out OF
agriculture? We ought to be-
gin where the student is and
make the teaching meaningfHl
through his own experience"
He said they also discuss the
whole civil rights push" and
the increasing search for talent
in the country as providing
new opportunities for the Ne
gro who is trained and edu-
Gated.
They also talk about the
Sit-ins, the Black Muslin move
ment. race riots, crime, and
the Negro family and COM
munity.
I'VE try to awaken in the
students that the whole sit
uation promises more for them
than it did for us" the soci-
ologist said.
Study Case
That's in one field. The
same approach is evident in
others. In the law school, stu
dents still are studying civil
rights. In the school of re-
ligion, the sit-in movement is
a key topic.
Not long ago theology stu
dents staged a hypothetical sit
in. A coed was the wife" of
a student who was arrested.
She asked him questions about
whether it was morally right
for him to participate and if
it might hurt his chances later.
THE student was brought
before judge and jury and SEN
fenced to jail" the theology
instructor said. I'VE pointed
out that jail itself can be made
into something positive. And,

Rae and Raimey are both sprinters
and constant threats to go "all the
way" anytime they have the ball.
The short pass just across the line
to McRae is the one play to watch.
However our Gophers are find
ing themselves fast, especially
with last Saturdays fine team
play. Sandy Stephens, elected the
UPI UNITED Press International
"Backfield-of -the-Week" upset the
downtown dopesters with his fine
passing - a complete turnabout
from previous games-with seven
of IL passes completed-four for
tbs.
Judge Dickson has apparently
found his correct backfield posi-
ton. Converted this year from
halfback to fullback, Dickson with
his power running is one of the
mainstays of the Gopher offense.
Judge has the distinction of never
losing any yardage for Minnesota.
Experts believe the Gopher
line is one of the finest in the
country even though they
haven't really been fully tested.
In Bob Deegan and Tom Hall
Minnesota has two very fine
ends backed up by John Camp
bell.
Bobby Lee Bell and Carl Eller
are rugged members of that
Gopher forward wall at the tackle
positions. Eller, a sophomore has
been a starting regular since the
first game. We don't have to men
ton much about the stellar play
of Bell. Already elected to the
UPI lineman-of-the-week during
his first four games, Bell improves
SNSly 6dlllC'
Even though the Gophers have
Jim Cairns, they miss the fine
running and defensive play of Bill
Munsey who was injured in the
Northwestern game two weeks
ago. Munsey is not expected to
play Saturday because of a sprain-
ed ankle and sprained knee.
However in spite of injuries on
both teams one can expect Bump
Elliot and the Wolverines to show
up here in fine shape, "raring" to
go. The Gophers have the added
incentive of Homecoming to boil
ster their expected high spirits.

CrediafaWn Club
Members Present
Rider" $500 Check

The membership of the Credja-
fawn Social Club at its meeting
Wednesday,, October 25, 1861, pre-
sented Miss Claire O'Connor, the
only female Freedom Rider from
Minnesota, with a check for 5000
to aid the plight of the Freedom
Riders caught in the webb of Miss
issippi justice. Miss O'Connor, %,
who lives at $500 No. Oxford Street
in st. Paul, accepted the check
for the Students for Indignation,
an organization at the University
of Minnesota and which is affiliat-
ed with the Congress on Racial
Equality.
Miss O'Connor was Jailed in
Jackson Mississippi, June II, 1861,
on a breach of the peace charge,
and was detained until July 3, 1861,
in the penitentiary at Parchman,
Mississippi, in a maximum securi-
ty unit. She is one of the 800 Free
dom Riders who must return and
post a 81 800 bond.
THE $1,000 bond" stated Miss
O'Connor lis outrageous when you
consider that the ordinary bond
for breach of the peace, a INSIDE
meanor, is ordinarily about 500.
The State of Mississippi must
know that it is fighting a losing
battle, and the technique now is
for them to delay. The exorbitant
bond and the delaying teChniques
simply add to the mounting cost
of the fight for freedom"
Martin o. Wellington, president
of the Credjafawn Social Club, said
1--WE hope that more and more
people will become, as we are, out
ragged at these injustices, and will
do as much as possible to contri-
butte to this fight for justice. While
it is true that we live in an en-
lightened era, there are those who
still bow before the altar of pre-
JUDGE and bigotry. 1t is our re-
sponsibility to fight the enemies
of freedom and to exercise every
effort to make democracy real and
alive"

Don't Serve Negroes :HOstess
The hotel Asst. Director Art
Long apologized for the racial in
suit to the players. He said the
hotel did not have discriminatory
policies and the incident was the
result of a misunderstanding. He
added the hotel had served col
lege teams having Negro players
previously without incident.
However, his statement on policy
conflicted with that of the hostess
in the coffee shop. Sam Jones said
she told them it was the hotels
policy not to serve Negroes.
Managing Director T. H. Hard
witch also indicated the hotel prob
ably has a policy against serving
Negroes in general. He said the
Negro players failed to tell the
hostess they were registered at
the hotel and thus were denied
service.
Apology From Terminate
An apology was also made by
Celtics player Frank Ramsey, who
said:
mo thinking person in Ken
lucky is a segregationist. 1 can't
tell you how sorry I am as hu-
man being, as a friend Of the
players involved, and as a resident
of Kentucky for the embarrass-
ment of this incident"
Ramsey played at the Universe
ty of Kentucky.
But apologies Notwithstanding,
owner Brown said he was deter
mined not to subject his players
to any more racial indignities. He
added: I'm not so hungry for
money that I'd arrange games
where my players may be embar-
raised. Never again"

Negroes Desire To Live In
Neiahborhood With Whites

New York (ANP) - housing
administrator Robert C. Weaver
said last week some white people
have the mistaken impression that
Negroes have a burning desire to
live next door to them" Weaver,
who is a Negro, said such an idea
is nonsense"
The reason Negroes move into
white neighborhoods, Weaver said,
is because they want to live in
good houses. The Negro is willing
to pay for this privilege in higher
prices and potential trouble with
his neighbors, he said.
Negroes have no more desire
to live next door to whites than
whites have to live next door to
Negroes" Weaver said in speech
before the New York chapter Of
