Woodruff Gets Protest Letter From CORE
A letter, protesting the University's refusal to recognize the Committee of Racial Equality as a student organization, was read Wednesday at a meeting of C.O.R.E. The letter was written from the C.O.R.E. national headquarters and addressed to Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of student affairs.
The national organization stated that C.O.R.E. is primarily concerned with student problems in Lawrence. It also said that other universities have recognized C.O.R.E. groups under similar conditions.
A committee to investigate the present segregation policy of Lawrence theaters was appointed.
Stanley Schwahn, Lawrence theater manager, has agreed to allow white patrons to sit with Negroes in the colored section at the Jayhawk theater, Robert Stewart, C.O.R.E. chairman said.
A committee was appointed to urge Negro students to take an active part in University activities. Stewart told members that Negroes are not participating in all of the activities open to them.
Republicans Hear Talk On Europe
Speaking before the Young Republicans club in the Pine room of the Union, Jack Green, freshman law student, said that the people of Europe are pessimistic and need moral support as well as material aid.
He attended a convention of the World Student Christian Federation he past summer in Paris. He was the first representative of the Presbyterian church.
Green pointed out that the student in France is of an elite class. It is difficult for them to understand that in the United States practically anyone can attend college.
"At the University of Paris there are 55,000 students with facilities for only half that many." Green said.
Blames Parents ForBad Living
Guy V. Keeler, director of the lecture bureau of University Extension told the Law Wives Wednesday that schools are educating hundreds of thousands of children on how to make a living, but not teaching them how to live.
Mr. Keeler blamed parents for the epidemic of bad living in America.
"Parents can not expect their children to do the right thing unless they provide the right example for them to follow," he said.
