'Why?' A Tragic Question
Not so long ago, a man and a woman were walking down the street in Kansas City, Missouri. The man was carrying a baby girl. A small boy walked at the side of the mother. They were obviously looking for something—a coke, or an aspirin, perhaps. They had just come out of the bus station.
As they walked by the hotel and came to the drug store, the boy turned to his mother and said, "Let's go in here."
turned to his mother and said, 'Let's go in here.
"We can't go in there," his mother replied. The boy looked perplexed and asked, "Why?"
The tragic figure in this scene is not the Negro mother or father It is the boy. He's just starting a long road to adulthood; a road that will give him many occasions to wonder "why?" Right now, he's just a boy. Like all boys, he probably likes to play ball, chase bright butterflies, pull a cat's tail, shoot marbles, and do all the other things that makes a boy's life wonderful.
But because his skin is black, he will suffer hardships and heart-aches that most boys will escape.
This little boy walking down a street in a big city may not have much to do with the civil war in China, or the balloting in Hungary—or does he?
If we're to stop communism, the best way we can do it is to sell our brand of democracy. To really sell a product, you must have the best on the market. That's as true in politics as in the stove or tire business.
If we're serious about resisting the advance of communism, then we'd better improve our product. We're not going to be very convincing to the buyers as long as a boy faces a life of heartaches and discriminations because his skin is black. —Marvin Rowlands
Two Will Attend Home Ec Meeting
Miss Edna A. Hill and Dr. Robert G. Foster, home economics professors, will attend the convention of the American Home Economics association in San Francisco Monday June 27 through Saturday July 2. Both will take part in the program.
Miss Hill will give a talk based on material gathered for the book "Home Economics in Higher Education." This book, which is now at the printers, is the result of work done by an American Home Economics Association committee on standards for evaluating home economics on the college level. They visited schools and attended workshops for a study of the present home economics program. A sub-committee of seven, of which Miss Hill was a member, prepared the book. Miss Hill was responsible for the chapter, "Selection of Staff," and will present that topic at the convention
The meeting will include teachers of home economics in high schools and colleges and home economists in business.
Dr. Foster will take part in a general session on "Trends That Affect Family Life," and will discuss the sociological trends. R.R. Renne, president of Montana University, will discuss the economic trends, and Dr. Lewis Robins of the Meninger Clinic will discuss the psychological trends.
Guidance Bureau Helps Students
Are you broke? Worried about your grades? Do you fight with your roommate?
Your problem isn't new, said Dr. William C. Cottle, counselor at the Guidance bureau.
"Most persons with personality problems are looking for a place to talk but many students who need help never ston in," said Dr. Cottle. "Since the guidance program is voluntary, counselors have no way of helping these reluctant students."
Before a group of personality, interest, and achievement tests are given, each student is interviewed. What may at first seem to be a relatively simple problem sometimes develops into a complex personality maladjustment, said Dr. Cottle.
"After the tests are completed, the counselor discusses the results with the student." Dr. Cottle said.
Dr. Cottie formerly taught in New York state public schools. He has taught at the University for the past two years and is now teaching two graduate classes in counseling, one in Kansas City and one here.
Dear Editor
Dear Editor:
Since there has been a great amount of criticism of the present student directory, I would like to make a few suggestions which might help the situation.
The University Daily Kansan and many other groups at the University use the directory as a reliable source of information about classification, addresses, and the spelling of names. It is quite true that many identifications are incorrect in the so called "Bible of students."
Many students are never known by the names they are required to list for the directory. Some go by middle names, nicknames, or anything but what they have to write on the card in the registration line. Why not let the student list the name he desires and not something he abhors? There are many students called "Bill" but they have to list their given name, William. For Pete's sake, let the name "Bill" be listed in the book because it's probably the only one others know him by.
A supplement should be issued at the start of the spring semester, too. Names are important. We need a reliable student directory.
