NEW CIVIL WAR:
Southern Walkout on Racial
Problem Is Avoided by NSA
By TOM WALSH
Binging into agreement on the
question racial discrimination in
education the Negro and white
delegates from the North and
South was the toughest problem
facing the NSA convention.
The Chicago conference had ac-
cepted an "equal rights and op-
portunities" clause to hold the

convention together but now the
North wanted a stand on dis-
crimination and the Southern Ne-
groes wanted NSA to oppose se-
gregation.
A compromise resolution call-
ing for "securing the eventual
elimination of all forms of dis-
criminatory educational systems"
was initiated by the organizational
representatives and passed by a
sub-panel containing both South-
ern Negroes and whites.
But late that night a Southern
white caucas repudiated this "ini-
tial compromise." Some delegates
could not accept it and the "solid
south" stuck together.
Southern Argument
The Southerners pointed to the
fact that they had already held
inter-racial meetings and argued
that such an NSA stand would
alienate their campuses and pre-
vent their supporting the NSA.
Passing the initial compromise
would mean that at least 10
Southerners would walk out. To
accept the "equal rights" clause
would break faith with the Ne-
groes who would not walk out
but whose schools would probably
not support NSA.
The executive committee met
all night, finally sent two Ne-
groes and two whites out to find a
compromise, unanimously adopt-
pd their suggestion and had it
placed on the agenda ahead of the
other alternatives.
Compromise Reached
The outcome was still uncertain.
The idea of placing the "equal
rights"clause in thehpreamble
and the "discrimination" phrase
in the by-laws was fully accept-
able but the compromise also
granted regional autonomy in ac-
tion on racial discrimination. The
Southerners contended this vas
necessary to sell the NSA to thbir
schools.
Dramatically, continuations
committee president Jim Smith
presented the final amendment
which read that NSA "will take
action on national, regional and
campus levels through the cor-
responding organizations of NSA
to implement its stated principles,
with regard to ine legal limitations
involved."
- After a number of favorable
speeches, Marvin Shaw represent-
ing the Communist Party told the
Southern Negroes that this was a
favorable compromise they should
accept. The annonymous cry
"Then they don't need the help of
your organization" broke the final
tension.
Moments later the convention
voted almost unanimously. The
Civil War was on its way out.
Department of
Zoology Adds
Three to Staff }
Reallocation of Space
Curbs Overcrowding
Addition of three professors and
reallocation of building space is
helping the zoology department'
stay abreast of enrollment "that
has seen no let-down in the past
two years," Dr. George R. LaRue,
chairman of the zoology depart-
ment, revealed yesterday.
Dr. Alfred M. Elliot has been
appointed assistant professor in
charge of the general zoology
course; Dr. Paul A. Wright and
Dr. Norman E. Kemp are new
instructors of zoology.
'Tight for Space'
"Dreadfully tight for space," the
department is converting a stor-
age room into a research labora-
tory for five graduate students,
a dark room and smaller room
will become an office and another
research room will be set up on
the fourth floor, according to Dr.
LaRue.
Dr. Elliot received his B.S. de-
gree at Yankton College in 1928,
his M.S. at Neva York University
in 1931 and was awarded his
Ph.D. there in 1934. He has
studied at the Marine Biological
Laboratory, Mass., Stanford and
UCLA. His last position, at State
Teacher's College, Bemidji, Minn.,
was that of professor of biological
chemistry, director of the colllege
health service and assistant to
the President.
Bates Graduates
Dr. Wright received his B.S.
in 1941 at Bates College, and his
M.A. and Ph.D. at Harvard in
1942 and 1944. His last position
was an instructor in biological
science at Boston University.
Dr. Kemp is another graduate
of Bates College, '37, and was
awarded his Ph.D. at University
of California, Berkley, Cal., in
1941. During the 1946-47 semes-
ters, he was an instructor in the
biology department, Wayne Uni-
versity and in the summer was an
instructor in the zoology depart-
ment at University of California.
1,800' ,Driving
Permits Issued
Some 1,800 driving permit ex-
emptions have been issued by the
Office of Student Affairs during
the last ten days.
Scores of students still apply-
ing for permits are expected to
push the final total past the for-
mer peak of 3,600 reached last
year. Large numbers of student
drivers are also expected to com-
plicate the parking problem which
was already acute during previous
semesters.]

Prof. Arnold
Publishes Text
On Plant Life
In response to a need for a
textbook for paleobotany, Prof.
Chester A. Arnold of the botany
department has written "An In-
troduction to Paleobotany," pub-
lished this month by the McGraw
Hill Book Company as one of their
series in botanical sciences.
Paleobotany, FPor. Arnold ex-
plained, is the study of fossilized
plants. Just as paleontologists
study the evolution of animals by
correlating fossilized bones of
geologic eras, so paleobotdnists
study the evolution of plant life
through fossil plant remains of
past eras, he said.
A lack of previous study, how-
ever, and the comparative rarity
of complete fossilized plants, ne-
cessitates collecting knowledge
from detached pieces of evidence
such as a single leaf or acorn,
rather than a whole tree, Prof.
Arnold pointed out. Our knowl-
edge of the history of the major
plant groups, then, is relatively
incomplete, he added.
Although the subject can be
treated as either botany or geol-
ogy, Prof. Arnold chose to write
from the viewpoint of a botan-
ist. The book discusses the evo-
lution of plants from the simple
algae to the more complex flower-
ing plants. The last chapters,
summarize the subject with flora
placed in their geologic eras.
Even after a record week of
student placement in part time
jobs, the demand at the Univer-
sity's Personnel Office still far ex-
ceeds the supply of employment-
minded students.
Alfred B. Ueker, director of the
office, said yesterday that al-
thought an estimated 750 students
have been placed since the start
of the pre-semester rush, 75 open-
ings remain unfilled.
Unskilled Jobs
Ueker, whose office acts as an
intermediary between students
and campus and private employ-
ers, said that most of the remain-
ing positions fall in the unskilled
category - waiters and kitchen
help-and bring pay of from 65
to 85 cents an hour.
He emphasized, however, that
there are still a number of higher
paying jobs in University depart-
ments and private businesses for
students of more specialized abil-
ity. Among these are sales posi-
tions for women in local dress
shops, jobs for gas station attend-
ants, and openings for several ex-
perienced court reporters. Calls
for a window displayman for a
local store and for a registered
pharmacist also remain un-
answered.
'U' Hospital
The University Hospital has in-
dicated the need for a number of
male orderlies to fill morning po-
sitions.

WE'RE mighty proud that many students here at the
University are girls who have worked as operators in
telephone offices.
If you are one of them, we want you to visit us at the
telephone office here. We want to meet you so we can
welcome you personally to Ann Arbor. For after all,
every former telephone operator is still a "telephone
woman" to us.
If you would like part-time employment while you're
attending the University, we may be able to work out
a schedule that won't interfere with your classroom
or study periods. We already have a number of college
students who work part time and they find our lounge
room ideal for studying and our employees' cafeteria a
convenient place to eat.
The telephone office is just 21/2 blocks from the
campus, at $23 East Washington street, which makes
it mighty convenient to get to and from.
