McCoy lauds black struggle
Gains in civil rights for Negroes between 1940 and 1954 set the stage for the movement in the last decade, said Donald R. McCoy, professor of history, at last night's Humanities Lecture.
With the coming of World War II, Negroes found the lobbying used during the thirties was no longer effective, McCoy said. So in order to get attention for their demands they resorted to marches and pressure on the President. McCoy said these "weapons" opened defense plants and the armed forces to black employment.
Returning from war, Negroes felt the country "owed them the right to walk freely into the sun of society." McCov explained.
Despite the improved position of the Negro and his desire to do whatever necessary to guarantee
his equality, he said the movement lagged briefly and post-war unemployment took its toll of Negroes.
The Cold War signalled the revival of the movement, McCoy said. The United States could not hope to make a favorable impression on the world by preaching democracy and practicing discrimination, he continued.
CWC goes to meet of NACURH
President Truman barred segregation in the armed forces and Negro organizations began to test separate-but-equal laws in transportation and education. These successes still fell short of the aspirations of the black man, McCoy said, and the resulting frustration underlies the modern civil rights movement.
The University of Kansas will have a special place in the line-up of speakers and events at the annual conference of the National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH).
The KU delegation plans to present a detailed discussion of residential college programs using KU's Colleges-within-the College system as a case study.
"KU's Colleges-within-the College program is a very fine one, but it should be extended to four years-or at least be made more complete;" commented Butch Lockard, Raytown, Mo., junior, and chairman of KU's Association of University Residence Halls (AURH).
The extension proposal, Lockard said, would be one of the points which will be discussed at the conference.
Lockard left Wednesday night with 12 members of the KU delegation for the conference, held this year at California State College, Long Beach.
Lockard said the presentation, entitled "Living and Learning - Are They Compatible?" will be in three parts: general information about residential colleges, a case study of these programs using KU's as an example, and a concluding analysis of the strong and weak points of the system.
"In general I think the faculty is a little slow to adjust to the system," Lockard said, "although some faculty members have done a great deal to help it. The departments here are not willing enough to realize the potentials of the program, or to explore those potentials."
Representatives from 83 colleges and universities will attend the NACURH conference.

Funny how big you can get and still remain virtually anonymous.
Somehow we've managed to do it.
We're a group of over 60 companies making everything from microwave integrated circuits to color television. And we rank number 9 in the top 500 corporations in the nation.
Pretty hot stuff for a nobody.
But though you may not recognize our name, maybe the name Sylvania rings a bell. It's one of our companies.
So here we are, 5 billion dollars strong growing all over the place, and looking for engineers and scientists to grow with us.
Why don't you think us over with your Placement Director?
You may even live in one of our telephone company areas. We operate in 33 states.
Incidentally, we are known in the communications field as General Telephone & Electronics.
Pssst. Pass it on.
