Panel Cites Different Aims-

I

over the Negro's problems in the
South.
"We can make false analogies
between the two groups because of
color," Prof. Haugh agreed, recall-
ing times last year on his trip to
Africa when he was asked "How
does our native problem compare
with the native problem in the
U.S.?"
He noted that Africa has had
a movement similar to the pioneer
movement, one similar to the gold
rush, and is now beginning a per-
iod of rapid urbanization.
These similarities would seem to
say that if we could solve one
problem we could solve the other,
he said, but this is, not true. Both
the past and the present of the
two groups is different.
Start To Govern
Africans are a majority group,
who are beginning to govern.
They have blood and tribal loyal-
ties, with no history. of slavery.

chairman and co-ordinating vice-
president.
Other chairmanships available
include:
Freshman projects, international
committee, public relations, com-
munity services, university ser-
vices, house, social committee and
special projects.
There are also four -junior and
three sophomore memberships
available on the interviewing and
nominating committee and on
judiciary.
Panhellenic positions include
president, first and second vice-
presidents, secretary, treasurer,
public relations, chairman of rush
chairman, and chairmen of rush-
ing counselors.
Each petitioner will be inter-
viewed by a board composed of
representatives of various campus
groups, sometime between March
13 - 24.
Petitions are available at the
League. Interview appointments
can be made when returning pe-
titions.
The election date has not been
decided yet.
Sophomores, juniors and seniors
may also petition to work on com-
mittees under the various chair-
men.

"The African is searching out his
freedom," he added.
Mrs. Meyer pointed out that it
is impossible to talke about "The
American Negto" because there is
no such person. "Negroes are as
wide and various as other Ameri-
cans, she said. "No one voice
speaks for the American Negro."
Similarly, she noted that Africa
is not one country and culture,
as many Americans tend to think
it is.
See Lack of Ties
Several of the panel members
pointed out the lack of ties be-
tween the American Negroes and
the Africans.
Lett said that because most Ne-
gro families in the United States
have been here for more than 150
years, there is no feeling of con-
nection with Africa. The African
is strange to the socialized Ameri-
can Negro when the two have con-
tact, he claimed.
Kulied pointed out that the
American whites are more inter-
ested in Africa than the Ameri-
can Negroes.
Prof. Haugh said that American
Negroes find it hard to communi-
cate with the African due to his
suspicion of the American Uncle
Tomism. He explained that "Uncle
Tomism" is a term used for Ne-
groes who are unwilling to fight
for their rights, and become tools
of the whites,
Fear Imperialism
Fear of America as another im,
perial power, such as the ones who
controlled Africa, creates hostility
as well, he said.
All of the speakers agreed that
American Negroes and Africans
can both gain by creating better
relations.
Mrs. Meyer said that "Africa and
its tremendous movement in the
last few years has had an affect
on the American Negro similar to
the affect of Israel on the Ameri-
can Jew. It has given the Negro
new self-respect, and new realiza-
tion of his possibilities,. she said.
Calls For Aid
"History shows that I am my
brother's keeper," Lett said. He
called on Americans of all races
to help those in less fortunate
countries to achieve the highest
mental achievement. "The more
understanding, the better the
world."
Helping to establish better re-
lations between the African stu-
dents coming to the United States
and the American Negro will cre-
ate good relations which will help
African independence, he added..
Mrs. Meyer said Americans have
an obligation to explain where the
color line occurs in the United
States. "The Africans coming to
our country need to be sheltered."

COLLEGE ROUNDUP:
Group Ends
Preference
On Religion
By MALINDA BERRY
COLUMBUS - Panhellenic has
voted to remove the religious pref-
erence question from sorority
rushing registration cards at Ohio
State University.
Judy Reynolds, co-chairman of
the rush registration card commit-
tee, pointed out that the Univer-
sity does not require any informa-
tion concerning race, religion or
national origin for admission, or
for residence or rooming house
placement.
"Panhellenic is definitely lag-
ging behind. It is the only group
on campus that still requests re-
ligious preference," she said.
Since the Dean of Women has
reported that no sorority has a
restrictive membership clause in
its national constitution, sororities
which advocate leaving religious
preference on the card are being
hypocritical, Miss Reynolds added.
AUSTIN - Pro - integration
groups from six colleges and uni-
versities in Texas organized state-
wide machinery Monday to fight
movie house segregation.
Students from Southern Metho-
dist University, Texas Christian
University, Trinity University of
San Antonio, St. Mary's Univer-
sity of San Antonio and Wiley
College of Marshall conferred for
almost five hours with members
of Students for Direct Action at
the University of Texas to organ-
ize their efforts.
"We want to present a more
solid front to the offices of the
theater chains," Chandler David-
son, SDA chairman, said.
"We didn't bond together into
any formally structured organiza-
tion," Davidson said "but we will
keep in close touch with the other
groups."

explosion will be held under the
