Philosopher Describes Segregation Problems
The White South African believes "white" to be synonymous with civilization, a visiting professor yesterday told the Faculty Forum.
For that reason, Errol Harris professor of philosophy said, the white South Africans are practicing absolute racial segregation to avoid the misecenation they believe will result from desegregation.
PROF. HARRIS SAID the policy of complete racial segregation is legally entrenched and that the country's white population -25 per cent of the total-regards segregation as the only way to preserve itself.
If racial barriers collapse, he said, South African whites fear that social barriers also will fall. The result would be miscgeanation and the end of the country's white race—the end of civilization.
He said this fear was much the same fear to be found generally in the South—in Alabama and Missouri in particular.
"BUT IT IS THE ONE solution which cannot succeed because it has no supporters," he added.
The solution would be establishment of a multi-racial government. Prof. Harris suggested.
He said that in South Africa a liberal is defined as an individual believing in an end to complete segregation, but observed that Negro Africans have lost patience with the liberals and doubted that the two might work together.
ASKED AFTER his talk why Negroes didn't simply go on strike or adopt other passive resistance measures. Prof. Harris said that laws with strict penalties make strikes illegal.
"The liberals in South Africa are faced with complete frustration and that is why liberals are leaving the country," Prof. Harris said.
Prof. Harris said the policy of "separate development" is continued despite the fact that Negro labor supports the economy.

Humanities Talk To Be Next Week
A philosophy professor who left South Africa because of government-imposed racial segregation will talk on "Analysis and Insight" at the next Humanities Lecture, Nov. 16.
Errol Harris, who is the first Roy A. Roberts professor at KU, will deliver the lecture at 8 p.m. in the University Theatre.
PROF. HARRIS said, "There are only two choices in South Africa for a person who is a 'liberal' on the race question. He can either keep silent, or he can get out. I got out."
A distinguished career as a South African scholar and educator was left behind when Prof. Harris sailed to the U.S.
"If I went back, I suppose I would only face the prospect of going to jail," he said.
At 11:30 p.m. Miriam Makeba — internationally known South African folk singer—will sing in Hoch Auditorium.
KU's Saturday night Homecoming festivities will feature an entertainment doubleheader.
Saturday Night To Offer Variety
Before that, however, Warren Durret's band — recently voted the best in the area — will provide music for the 8 to 11:30 dance in the Student Union ballroom.
The ticket admits the holder to both the dance and the concert with the purchase of the single ticket.
Tickets on sale at the information booth in the Union and on Jayhawk Drive are $1.50.
Tickets may also be purchased at the door of Hoch Auditorium or at the ballroom that night.
