OCTOBER 6.1955 - I 1 4 WILKINS DISCUSSES NAACP: 'U Alumnus Lauds Thurgood Marshall By SHIRLEY CROOG It's not everyday a potential Young lawyer has an iopportunity to "rub shoulders" with a nation- ally known man. ' But for Roger Wilkins, '56 L, a summer's job provided a chance not only to work with law books, but to participate with Thurgood Marshall in some of the activities the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is undertaking. As a research assistant to Mar- shdll, the chief consul for the NAACP in New York, Wilkins pre- pared memoranda for several cases concerning segregation in the South. Wor'ked With Vital Issues Working with vital legal issues, Marshall handed Wilkens assign- ments involving research on Con- stitutional technicalities and stat- ute rights. In the courtroom Wilkins saw Marshall as a "colloquial" speak- ing lawyer, completely aware of his position, duty, and convictions, determined to win the fight for desegregation. During daily conferences, Wil- kins observed Marshall, the indi- vidual. "Always ready for criti- cism on every side, Marshall was the burly loud-talking, wise- cracking, shoes-on-the-desk fel- low worker," Wilkins revealed. Put at his ease by the unassum- ing attitude of his employer, Wil- kins was able to notice Marshall's outstanding talent for "drawing ideas from his co-workers, exam- ining them, testing their validity, synthesizing them, and finally put- ting them to -use.

The exhibition is in exchange for the one by the University faculty now displayed on- the Washington campus and will re- main on view through October 25. X. ROGER WILKINS -A falls which the NAACP faces. During the summer, Georgia, a state still vehemently upholding the segregated school law, issued a resolution against "all those con- nected with the NAACP," and threatened to revoke licenses of teachers advocating desegregation. Wilkins went to work collecting data to test the Constitutional validity'of the resolution. A short while later, however, the resolu- tion was rescinded. Statute Issued "There were other cases con- cerning segregation that came up before the NAACP national of- fice," Wilkins said. "Alabama tried to issue a statute which would tax the NAACP right out of existence. "In Charleston, South Carolina, the NAACP won a fight against segregation in the buses," Wil- kins said. Wilkins believes there are two main ways which the NAACP may employ to fight segregation. One is through arbitration, the other through social analysis. "Sheer bargaining with school boards is not an easy task," Wil- kins asserted. "Sometimes We run into a situation where influ- ential citizens attempt to use their local prestige to force the Negro -Daily-Hal Leeds A FIGHT TO THE END citizen to refrain from fighting for his rights." Refers to Louisiana Wilkins referred to the case in Louisiana where Negroes petition- ed the school board to aid desegre- gation. Citizens counsels, consist- ing of influential men threatened to injure individual Negroes' se- curity for their petitioning the school board, and thereby forced them to remove their names. "I feel strongl ythat the NAACP must fight the segregation prob- lems by analyzing and studying the social conditions first. Then they must find a way to bring about desegregation with the slightest amount of friction," he continued. "The law is on the NAACP's side in this fight for desegrega- tion," Wilkins said, "and where necessary, they'll use it. It's go- ing to be a hard fight, but they're determined to see the end." An alumnus of the University, Wilkins was an active undergradu- ate. He was honored by Sphinz, Michigauma, and the East Quad Quadrants and last spring he was elected to Barristers, the law school honorary society. At pres- ent he is a resident advisor in East Quad and a student member of the CGC Review Board. Fraternities Use Secret Rush Check To guard against violations of rushing regulations Interfraternity Council employs an ingenious system of policing that would make Pinkerton envious. Bob Knutson, '56, IFC executive vice-president, pointed out the system is mainly a preventive measure since "We've had very few violations in the past." Fraternity presidents are en- trusted with the job of checking on each other to make sure the game is fairly played. Divided into Districts University fraternities are di- vided into five districts, each head- ed by a president (who is elected from fraternity presidents in the district.) Each district president is re- sponsible for checking on frater- nities in other districts. A master chart, drawn up by Knutson, uses code numbers to identify which fraternities come under the juris- diction of which district presi- dents. Only Knutson and the district president involved know what fra- ternities are being checked and when. Each president knows only the fraternities for which he is responsible. Reason for the secrecy is to insure fairness. Manpower is provided by frater- nity presidents - all of them. Each district president uses the house presidents in his district to check on the fraternities under his jurisdiction. The presidents work in teams of two. Watch for Illegal Contact They check fratenity houses, dormitories' and eating places around town. They watch for any illegal contact between fraternity men and rushees. Both fraternities and rushees are liable for rushing infractions. Maximum fine for fraternities is $100 and/or denial of pledging privileges for one period. For violations the rushee may be de- nied the right to pledge the fra- ternity that violated laws in his behalf. "During the rushing period," Knutson said, "each fraternity will be checked several times, dorms will be checked six or seven times and eating places will be watched periodically." Cooperation with quadrangles is achieved through th Resident Ad- visors. All infractions are reported to the and in turn to Knutson. Four Professors Write on Germany "German Democracy at Work," a book by four University profes- sors who were in West Germany at the time of the crucial 1953 Bundestag elections, will be pub- lished tomorrow by the University Press. 'dited by Prof. James K. Pol- lock, chairman of the department of Political Science, the book is a selective study also including material by department members Prof. Henry L. Bretton, Prof. Frank Grace and Prof. Daniel S. McHargue. Is the German commitment to democracy sincere and can Ger- many remain a democracy are some of the questions the authors ask. Live Fast.*.

Kueher Tells Of Research DETROIT (JP) -- Research by Ford Motor Company scientists and engineers covering such things1 as a device to fight heart ailments and a new "dream" car with some- what fantastic characteristics was described by company representa- tives today. The program was outlined to newsmen assembled for a three- day preview of the new Ford Con- tintal Mark II Prestige car. A. A. Kucher, director of Ford's scientific laboratories and an authority on nuclear energy, told of work on a project called a "car- diac manometer." He described it as a miniature electrical meas-. uring device attached to a tube which could be inserted into the heart cavity through a vein. Ku- cher said it would measure varia- tions in pressure on the heart while it is beating. Ford engineerg said the new "dream" car has been called the "Mystere." They described it as an auto with an engine in the rear, with interchangeable inter- nal combustion or gas turbine power. It has a glass canopy roof with no windows to raise or low- er. The canopy is lifted to permit entry and exit. be accepted through Dec. 15, 1955. For applications, write to The Ford Foun- dation, 477 Madison Avenue, New York 22, New York.
