Students Fight
Discrimination
At Brown U'
Lincolnx Society ilay
Attend IRAM eeting,
"Fellowship Without Fences" is
the slogan of a new fraternal or-
ganization founded at Brown Uni-
versity.
The group, entitled The Lin-
coln Society, has as its purpose
the elimination of discrimination.
They are working on the cam-
pus, in the community, and in
conjunction with similar organi-
zations at other colleges.
Michigan's IRA has invited rep-
resentatives of the Lincoln Society
to attend the Mid-Western Inter-
Racial Conference which will be
held here in April or May.
Both the IRA and The Lincoln
Society believe that the exchange
of ideas as well as the solidarity
which comes of combined effort
will be beneficial to all groups.
Following the hypothesis that
it is necessary for people to eat
together if they are going to get
to know one another, members
from varied racial and cultural
backgrounds often dine together,
frequently at restaurants where
there have been signs of discrimi-
nation.
"We believe that much discrim-
ination is caused by ignorance,"
declared Henny Wenkart, Secre-
tafy of the Lincoln Society in a
letter to The Daily. "Only by
meeting members of other races
and religions on really equal terms
can we really begin to think of
others simply as people, not pri-
marily as representatives of this
or that group," he said.

Bronte Movie
OpensToday
Art Cinema, IZFA
Present 'Jane Eyre'
The film version of Charlotic
Bronte's well known novel. "Jane
Eyre," will be presented by IZFA
and the Art Cinema League at
3 and 8:30 p.m. today and 8:30
p.m. tomorrow in Kellogg Audi-
torium.
The top dramatic abilities of
Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine
recreate the 19th century romance
which h'jas fascinated four gen-
erations of look-lovers.
Depicting the life of a gver-
ness in the home of an ccentric
widower, "Jane Eyre" .,overs a
gamut of subjects- from the
widower's mad wife, who turns up
ailve, to the fire which brings
death to the home.
One of the outstanding shorts
of the year, "The City," will be
shown along with "Jane Eyre."
Lewis Mumford, Pare Lorent z and
Aaron Copland contribute their
talent to present a convincing ar-
gument that "the age of rebuild-
ing is here."

5. JUGGLING STORIES around so they fit into spaces alloted
by the night editor is the job of make-up man Elmo Collins. If
the story is too long, the least important paragraphs are removed.
When all of the stories are arranged, "Mo" locks the type in a
metal frame called a chase. Clamps on either side of the chase
prevent the stype from spilling out.

4. FROM PASQUALETTI'S blue pencil the copy descends to the
shop where The Daily's linotypers set the lines in lead slugs for
proofreaders.
