PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, MARCH 28. THE KANSAN COMMENTS Negro-White Problem Won't Solve Itself The Negro-White problem, always a touchy subject, is ignored by most white people in hopes that it will solve itself. But as the Texas orator so truthfully put it last week and as the Letter to the Editor reiterated yesterday, the problem will not solve itself. It is hard for the average white American to place himself in the Negro's position. When the white student comes to college there are no University living quarters from which he is barred. There are no eating places which he cannot enter. There is no special section of the theater to which he is relegated. In fact, if he were denied one of these privileges, he might very likely demand his rights as a citizen. Privileges Get Warned Privileges Get Warped Yet how easy it is for white people to forget that the Negro, too, is a citizen. He, too, pays taxes to support state schools, and, theoretically, is entitled to all the rights and privileges of a tax payer. Some of those privileges get a little warped when it comes to giving them to the Negro. The Negro girl can major in anything she wishes—home economics and education included—but special provisions must be made for her in order that she may graduate with requirements fulfilled, for she is not allowed to live in the home economics practice house and she may not do practice teaching in the Lawrence high schools. White Supremacy Proved False Why not? Because it just isn't done. A Negro girl just doesn't live in a University house with white girls; she just doesn't teach in a school where there are white children. It just isn't done, because people would talk—even church people, who say they believe in the brotherhood of man, would talk. How petty and how despicable is our American idea of white supremacy. Science has proved for all who care to find out, that there is no such thing as white supremacy—mentally, morally, or physically. The sooner we accept that fact, and go out of our way to become acquainted with our fellow Negro citizens, the better it will be for both races. Keeler, Stillwell See New Course Prospect Guy V. Keeler, director of the University Engineering, Science, and Management War Training program, and Prof. Henry S. Stillwell, of the department of aeronautical engineering, returned to the campus Wednesday from a trip to investigate a training program used in North American Aviation of Dallas, Texas. Mr. Keeler and Professor Stillwell left Sunday to inspect the aircraft plant's methods of instruction in respect to the possibility of setting up a similar program at the University. The proposed training program would be similar to the Aeronautical Technicians training for women which is being given on the campus at the present time. Upon completion of the course, the women will be given jobs in North American Aviation of Kansas City, Kans., or in Boeing Aircraft Corporation of Wichita. The new course would be advanced engineering training directed to the upgrading of engineers who are already employed in the aeronautical engineering department of aircraft plants. Passenger traffic on American railroads was almost four times as great in 1943 as in 1939. Rock Chalk Talk By HANNA HEDRICK Side notes on the Tropea tournament: As in days of yore, Clay Hedrick and Arnold Nye, now stationed at Warrensburg, Mo., and Kirk Scott, Phi Delts, went over to the high school basketball tournament Saturday night. Also there were Winifred Ice, Marylou Regier, Thetas, and Dorothy Warren, June Plumb, and Edith Marie Darby, Pi Phis. After a big night (we won't talk about the score) all concerned retired to their rooms in the Kansas hotel. The girls forgot to lock their door. Inevitable consequences. The next morning Dorothy was strolling around the room in a flashy V-neck pair of pajamas and Wini and Edith Marie were lying in bed gazing rather speculatively at all the pink things strewn around the room, when in walked Kirk . . . the door was unlocked, so he thought he would pay a social visit. After standing frozen to the spot for 15 seconds like Mr. Milquetoast surrounded by a harem, our boy Scott wheeled out of the door faster than he had come in. *** Rushing—the hard way: Jeanne Brainine may get the "Noble" award for how to really impress a rushee. At 2 a.m., Jeanne was out scouting for Barbara Neely to help paint decorations for the Juncheon the next day. In a case of mistaken identity, Jeanne got the wrong person, and if it was not until she had orated several minutes about getting the ---- out of bed and doing some work, did she realize that she was addressing a guest. At that point, Jeanne quietly passed into oblivion. ** When you gotta, you gotta: Half of Miller Hall was upset the other night, after Jackie Nodler had innocently started humming "Glow Little Glow Worm." The "big, brains" took up the issue, and a battle was soon raging as to whether the correct words were "Glow" or "Shine." Kati Gorrill finally came to the rescue with a musty copy of the song, and proof that the words are "Shine Little Glow Worm, Glimmer Glimmer." * * With the passing of Brick's goes one more integral part of the old college social life. Mom and pop used to "coke" there, too, same time, cutting the same classes. In former days, when saddles, "cords", and convertibles were more in style, the basement was a great place for senior "farewell" parties. The only requisite was to be able to swim out the door and up the stairs. Great and weighty problems have been solved behind the locked doors of Brick's basement. Rare Books On Display In Library Oldest of the writings is a Latin Books, hand written or printed over a span of 489 years, are being featured this week in a display of "Books of Six Centuries" on exhibit in the cases on the second floor of Watson library. Miss Mildred Hershey, who has charge of the case displays, has selected from the library's collection of rare books, nine editions which illustrate several different languages and literary types. manuscript dated 1455. It is a short psalter for speakers, and is hand written with illuminated letters on parchment-like paper. Examples for sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are also in Latin or Latinized Italian. A German "Argenis" of the year 1644 illustrates the odd compact shape in which books of that date were printed. For 1744 a "Life of Robert Boyle", an early biography of the alchemist and chemist, is displayed. A book of poetry popular in 1835 and a 1944 biography of Boyle, the latter by Trenchard More, complete the exhibit. When not on display, these rare books and manuscripts are kept with others in the collection in vaults at the library.
