'Negroes Are Not Integrated'
There is not a place in America where the Negro is completely integrated, Thurgood Marshall, chief counsel for the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People, said in a lecture in Strong Auditorium Tuesday.
Mr. Marshall also spoke at the Lawrence Brotherhood banquet Tuesday night in the Kansas Union before an audience of approximately 700.
Legally, the 14th amendment to the Constitution gave everyone in this country equal rights at the same time. Mr. Marshall said, but it was immediately substituted by equal and separate rights, which was actually designed to make the Negro inferior to the white.
"Segregation is actually worse than slavery," he continued, "because it builds up difference between equal citizens."
Actually, the "baby of the blackest, most ignorant, poorest sharecropper in Mississippi" is born with the same rights as is the son of one of the Rockefeller family, he said.
Mr. Marshall explained that even the separate but equal doctrine has not been followed in most cases. The white person, he said, seems to sit on the "better side of the bus."
Negro Kept from Voting Mr. Marhall cited examples of some of the tricks that are still used to keep the Negro from voting. In
certain parts of the South law requires "certain" voters to take an examination to prove their intelligence or ability to read and write, he said.
When a Negro voter took the examination there would be questions
THURGOOD MARSHALL
like, "How many bubbles are in a bar of soap?" Mr. Marshall said.
Some were told to read certain sections of the Constitution and write from memory what they had just read.
Concerning education in the South Mr. Marshall said that in the Authorine Lucy incident in Alabama only 3,000 out of 17,000 students actually opposed her entrance to the University.
It was the "White Citizen Councils and the Ku Klux Klan that decided that she could not go there," he added.
Faubus At Fault
He pointed out that nine of the Southern states have been integrating quietly and with little or no trouble. West Virginia has almost completely been integrated.
He blamed the Arkansas governor, Orval Faubus, for causing the integration processes to falter. Unless such incidents as these in Little Rock are prevented, the US is going to get a "black eye" in its dealings with the Mid East and Asia, he warned.
"Three Sputniks in the air cannot bring Asia and Africa to our side as readily as a successful integration in Little Rock," he said.
Mr. Marshall said the individual's responsibly for integration is "up to your own conscience. Leaving the job for someone else will never do away with the problem."

Cold Weather Delays Buildings
Bids on two new men's dormitories will be taken Mar. 12 while the construction of two other major campus housing projects has been delayed by sub-freezing temperatures, according to J. W. Wilson, director of dormitories.
The men's dormitories will be built at the Daisy Field site west of Allen Field House and southeast of the intersection at 15th and Iowa streets, and will each house 430 students.
The dorms will be named the Luther N. Lewis Hall, and the Olin Templin Hall.
Foundation work on 10 buildings at Stouffer Place and concrete pouring for the second floor of the Joseph R. Pearson dormitory have halted until the below freezing weather subsides, Mr. Wilson said.
Construction costs for the two projects total more than $2,000,000. General construction on the dormitory is to cost $1,380,000, and the Stouffer Place project $1,006,000.
The projects are to be finished in January 1959. The 6-story dormitory will house 416 men, and the apartments at Stouffier Place will house 120 families.
The dormitory is on West Campus Road, north of Carruth-O'Leary, and Stouffer Place is at 19th and Iowa streets.
Mr. Gunn said Tuesday the new office would give "somewhat more room and greater efficiency." The rooms have undergone extensive redecorating.
Alumni Assn. Moves Office
Today marks another in a series of moving days for offices in Strong Hall. This time it is the alumni office which is moving to a new home across from the business office in Strong.
The move, handled by the buildings and grounds department, is expected to be an all day job. The present office is upstairs and down the hall west from the new site.
18 Schools Here For Debate
Eighteen colleges and universities from 15 states have accepted invitations to the second annual Heart of America debate conference on the KU campus March 12-15.

Wednesday, Feb. 12, 1958
Upholding the affirmative from KU will be Kenneth Irby, Fort Scott senior, who was a member of the KU team which won the first Heart of America tourney last spring.
A highlight of the conference will be an English style debate between KU and Harvard University at 8 p.m. March 12 in the Kansas Union Jayhawk Room. The question for debate is: That Killian is to be preferred to Keats."
Raymond Nichols Jr., Lawrence sophomore, is the other KU debater. Nichols and Irby recently won the Central States and Northwestern University debate tournaments this year. Nichols also was first in extemporaneous speaking at the Central States meet and was one of the top five individual debaters at Northwestern University.

'Abolish Early Enrollment'
Dean Taylor Tells AWS Present System Unfair
Templin Hall residents sleep in dormitories, not in their study rooms. Property left in the unguarded study rooms is an easy mark for thieves, residents said.
Early enrollment permits cannot be fair and should be abolished at KU, Emily Taylor, dean of women told the AWS Senate Tuesday night. Discussion of her opinion on enrollment held the meeting an extra hour after plans were set for high school leadership day Feb.22.
Thieves Raid Templin Hall Get $82.75
Mike Zakoura, Osawatome sophomore, house president, said, "It took all of us by surprise. Even though other houses on the hill have been robbed, we didn't think it could happen here."
A total of $82.75 was stolen early this morning from the rooms of 15 men at Temple Hall.
The burglary was discovered this morning when one man found that paper currency was missing from his billfold. A search revealed that all Templin residents who left bill-folds in their study desks had lost money.
Campus Police Captain Willard Anderson, who investigated the robbery, said the thief or thieves may have gained entry through open doors of the hall sometime between 2:30 a.m. and 5 a.m.
One resident considered himself lucky because the thief missed $35 he tucked under a paper in his desk drawer.
ASC Constitution Available
All student organizations must get a copy of the new ASC constitution. Get them in the ASC office in the Kansas Union between 4 and 5 p.m. Thursday.
PARKING BLUES—David Nance, Kansas City, Kan., senior, resident of Stouffer Apartments, takes a parking ticket off his car. The car had been parked in restricted area of the Stouffer Apartments' parking lot because all available spaces were filled. Many of the residents complained that this was a daily occurrence. "There just isn't enough room for everybody's car it seems," one resident was heard to remark, "and our friends who stop by to visit us have a hard time finding a place to park."
Miss Taylor, AWS adviser, said "College students should be fulltime students. Those who need to work should enroll as special students and take only one or two afternoon classes."
She said that the system of privileged enrollment causes people "to ask if we're running a university or merely offering courses at times convenient to students."
"There are as many reasons for wanting to enroll early as there are students enrolling," she said. "Therefore there can be no over-all fairness in the system."
Miss Taylor said she feels that enrollment difficulties should be worked out after classes start. Many students who enroll early change their schedules later, she said.
Her proposal would not include athletes. She said, "We all enjoy ball games, and shouldn't object to athletes enrolling early to get practice time.
"Changes in schedules are not usually permitted elsewhere," she said, "so why should they be here. If you had to catch a 9 o'clock train, you wouldn't call the station to ask that it be held if you were late."
Earlier in the session the AWS steering committee read plans to entertain 92 girls here for a high school leadership day. Hostess plans include parties, discussions, meals and housing.
Leaders chosen from high schools in Kansas and Missouri will arrive Feb. 21.
Activities preceding and following leadership day include a talent show Feb. 21 in Strong auditorium, house parties after the show, a noon luncheon and fashion show Feb. 23 in the Kansas Union and a Mortar Board panel discussion following the luncheon.
Guests will hear AWS-faculty panel discussions Feb. 22. Miss Taylor will be moderator. Panel members will be Maude Ellsworth, assistant professor of Romance languages; Francis Heller, associate professor of political science; Rev. Andrew W. Berry, instructor of religion; Clayton Krehbiel, associate professor of music and education.
