'OLLEGE ROUND-UP:
SJimCrow, YP Provide Campus Topics

By PAUL MARX
Jim Crow laws are still effective
Louisiana State University.
Twelve Negroes were denied ad-
ission to LSU last week when the
iiversity's board of supervisors
topted a resolution ,ruling that
ursuant to the laws .of Louisi-
la and the policies of this board
e administrative officers are
reby directed to deny admission".

to the twelve applicants. 'It is ex-
pected that this ruling will be
fought in the courts.
The University of Texas, which
recently admitted Negroes to its
graduate schools but maintains
that if courses are offered any-
where in the state on a segregated
basis, Negroes applying to the uni-
versity for study in those fields
must attend the Negro schools, had

a courageous editorial on the issue
in the campus paper.
"The LSU case involves stu-
dents the majority of whom are

veterans who fought in the last
war. They are as good Ameri-
cans as any of the rest of us.
They are entitled to equal edu-
cation. The device of prolonged
court action only brands seg-
ments of the South as unwilling
to yield to what is--to enlighten-
ed and fairminded people--just
and fair for all Americans," it
said.

The University of Minnesota
Daily is up in arms about the ac-
tivities of the Young Progressives
on their campus. The YP's, who
have a total membership of six
students this summer, have cre-
ated such an uproar in circulating
the "Stockholm Peace Appeal"
that the Daily has labeled their
activities "a- crime against the
school."

The University of Colorado is a
bit peeved over the reporting of
campus happenings by the press
in the Rocky Mountain area. The
Rocky Mountain News was attack-
ed for presenting Colorado as "a
playground for drunken, carefree,
children of rich men, who, ambi-
guously enough are interested in
furthering the cause of Soviet
Russia."
In a so-called attempt to develop
a well-integrated student before he
embarks on a specialized program,
the University of Washington has
devised a two-year, "general edu-
cation" program. Under the new
curriculum freshmen will be al-
lowed to study exclusively in one
of three distinct fields, humani-
ties, social sciences, or physical or
biological sciences for two years
before specializing in a particular
subject.

Sister Kenny gave a young polio
patient the thrill of her life when
they were formally introduced
d u r i n g the performance of
"Chance of a Lifetime" last week,
Jvhen she was formally introduced
to the great woman whose paraly-
sis cure has worked marvels.
And Sister Kenny used the
time to tell American audiences
of the acceptance of her meth-
ods by nations abroad. She re-
vealed that "Lancet," the offi-
cial publication of the British
Medical Association and neuro-
logists in Belgium had both re-
ported favorably on her tech-
nique.
Also, she noted that 18 Kenny
clinics are in operation behind the
Iron Curtain.

F I F T E E N YEAR-OLD films
have brought new fame and for-
tune to Bill "Hopalong Cassidy"
Boyd, when a television revival of
his old films brought him into the
hearts of young America.
Although various Indian tribe
leaders have been raising a
ruckus in Washington because
these old films show the braves
in the now out-dated blood-
curdling light, the cowboy and
Indian film has enjoyed a tre-
mendous renaissance.
Bill Boyd, who started in film-
dom as an extra for C. B. DeMille,
has been riding the crest of the
wave; and small children no long-
er feel well dressed without one
"Hoppy" T-shirt in their posses-
sion.

A SERIES of eight operas,
starting with Carmen, will be tele-
cast this fall and winter over NBC-
TV. Also to be shown are Ann Ar-
bor favorites "Gianni Schicchi"
and "Hansel and Gretel." Peter
Adler, who will be music and ar-
tistic director, promises that sing-
ers will be chosen for their ability
to portray the roles before the in-
timate eye of the camera.

most bitterly attacked and hotly
defended traditions of Michigan.
Many a coed has been virtual-
ly thrown out of the front door
trying to get in, but last summer
one woman, a lawyer and gleeful
debunker of "sacred" traditions,
walked right in and gut of the
front door and wasn't even rep-
rimanded.
A simple walk around the cam-
pus will strike the stroller with
many memory-filled monument,

STARTING from the northwest
corner, near Haven Hall, the first
thing to meet the beholder is a
big rock, without a word on it. It
happens to be the honorary so-
ciety Druids' "sculling" stone,
which Druid initiates are required
to wash-with tooth brushes.

ColdestSwim
ST. IGNACE, Mich.-(JP)-Mi-
chigan's coldest swim, the annual
Straits of Mackinac ,marathon,
will test the endurance of a dele-
gation of mid-west enthusiasts
next Saturday.
Charles McCaffree, Jr., Michi-
gan State College swimming coach
who directs the Straits contest,
said he expects a large but still
undetermined number of entries.
DURING THE first two years
of the affair, 1948 and 1949, only
a half dozen out of 68 starters
were able to finish the 4'/ mile
grind.
The 1949 winner, Californian
]Walter Stewart, holds a mark of
two hours and ten minutes.
The swim will highlight a two-
day Straits of Mackinac celebra-
tion presided over by Queen Deane
Taylor, an 18-year-old brunette
from St. Ignace.
Miss Taylor is visiting Detroit
and Lansing over the weekend to
publicize the celebration.

The Engine Arch, cutting right
through the West Engineering
Building, isn't even an arch but
"The Denison Archway," in mem-
ory of Prof. Charles S. Denison,
who suggested it. Other memory
plaques adorn the inside walls of
the arch.

HIDDEN BEHIND a group of
trees just east of the General Li-
brary is a monument of a broken
column, signifying its dedication
to four University professors who
died in the middle of their careers:
On the other side of the Library
is a group of 48 trees, which are
planted, believe it or not, in sev-
eral circles, surrounding the Tap-
pan Oak, which was planted and
dedicated by the class of 1858 in
honor of Henry P. Tappan, presi-
dent at that time.
But the biggest and most-to-be-
remembered tradition is the Mich-
igan Memorial Phoenix Project, a
plan for peace time use of atomic
energy, which is rapidly spreading
throughout the country and to
many more people than the thou-
sands of Michigan students, facul-
ty, alumni and friends.
Engineers to Meet
There will be a meeting of the
Ann Arbor Engineer's Club at 8:30
p.m., Tuesday in the Michigan Un-

Chief Ben J. Bahn of the Ann
Arbor Fire Department will speak
on "The Problem of Fires and
Equipment." The meeting will be
open to all engineers and their as-
sociates.

LANSING-(AP)-Men eligible for

Men joining the Guard would
serve with men from their own
communities.
