COLLEGE ROUNDUP:
Sally Rand, KKK Blasted
By Embittered Students.
By CAL SAMRA
The nation's campuses were
teeming with protests last week as
embittered students blasted every-
thing from the Ku Klux Klan to
fan-dancer Sally Rand.
* * *
AT NORTHWESTERN Univer-
sity the Interracial Club bitterly
assailed the defacement of their
posters by what were referred to
as Ku Klux Klan sympathizers.+
The posters, announcing a debate'
on "Unsegregated Housing," were
burned with cigarettes and mark-
ed with symbols ofsthe KKK.
One sign was also scrawled
with a special symbol represent-
ing Gerald L. K. Smith's Chris-
tian Nationalist organization.+
Travel Talk
Will Be Held
At Lane Hall
A Round-Up for students who
want to get first-hand informa-
tion on summer work project and
travel tours will be. held at 7:30
p.m. tomorrow at Lane Hall.
Sponsored by the. Summer Pro-
jects Office at Lane Hall, the
Round-Up will feature student
speakers who have taken part in
various of the tours and work
projects now being handled by the
Projects office.
REPRESENTATIVES from the
Experiment in International Liv-
ing, the American Youth Hostel,.
National Students' Association
tours and work camp, the Lisle
Fellowship, and the Yale Study
Group will be there to tell pros-
pective tourists or workers the
requirements for and advantages
of their respective projects.
Also represented will be the
American Friends Service Com-
mittee, the World Council of
Churches and the Independent
Travelers.
Many of the informal talks will
be illustrated with slides, movies
and pictures.
THE VARIOUS summer proj-
ects range from international
tours in which the traveler goes
primarily as a tourist, a student,
or as a worker, to work camp proj-
ects and institutional work for
psychology and sociology students
here in the United States.
Information booklets and appli-
cation blanks will be available at
the meeting. For those who can-
not get to the Round-Up, the
Summer Projects Office will be
open this week from 3:30 to 5
p.m.,
The publicity director of the
Interracial Club said the "act
was beneath the dignity and
toleration of the student body."
In the East at Harvard Univer-
sity, fan-dancer Sally Rand set-
tled down to a serious speech on
class. But apparently the impas-
sioned freshmen preferred a little
excitement, for Miss Rand's speech
was greeted by apathy, pennies,
and a few cat-calls and boos.
The first pennies fell on the
stage when she claimed that
"Communism cannot be contained
in Europe." Miss Rand rebuked
the throwers wittily with: "I know
only one animal that throws a
scent."

WAY DOWN SOUTH, a new
rebel organization was formed on
the Florida State University cam-
pus - WRTPTBSUTRP. The al-
phabetic maze is the motto and
name for this clique: We Refuse
To Patronize Tallahassee Barber
Shops Until They Reduce Prices.
Spokesmen for the organiza-
tion indicated that as soon as
the club's treasury was suffi-
ciently large, the club would
hire its own barber.
At Valparaiso University in In-
diana, a student editorialist de-
manded that the campus student
legislature be done away with.
The recalcitrant writer lashed
out at the so-called "do-nothing"
student legislature, and among
other things, emphasized that the
group wasn't doing a damn thing.
"Let's kill it," he proposed.
AND AT Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, 500 cheering seniors held an
informal caucus and demanded
that final examinations for sen-
iors be done away with.
But Students weren't the only
ones rebelling. At the University
of Minnesota, an alumnus, who
referred to himself as an athe-
ist, is in the process of bringing
suit against the university be-
cause of its aid to religious
gropips.
Frank C. Hughes, the militant
atheist, says that after he drives
religion out of public education,
he will seek to oust all chaplains
from the armed forces, legislative
bodies, and other tax-supported
agencies, and ban the Bible from
U.S. mail.

ON THE LIGHTER side, the
University of Illinois discovered
that one of its deceased profes-
sors, who had earned on the aver-
age $6,000 a year, had built a
$1,000,000 fortune as a discreet
stock and bond holder in com-
panies all over the country.
