Higher Education For Negroes
At the invitation of the Board of Regents of the University 
System of Georgia, a Visitng Committee made up of
well known Negro educators, representing the Southern
Association of Colleges, conducted a study of the physical
facilities and equipment and the teacher preparation of
these units to ascertain the extent to which these institutions 
satisfy the standards of the Association for the purpose 
of recommending priorities in the general building program. 

At the Albany State College, the Commission found
that the present staff is in need of improvement; that there
are only five teachers with Ph. D. degrees, and that of these,
one was the President of the institution and another the
Dean, both of whom do a limited amount of teaching; that
at least two new dormitories, one for men the other for women, 
should be provided to relieve present congestion; that
a physical and health education building be erected.
The Fort Valley State College faces many difficulties
too. It's operating budget of $57,904 for 1950-51 is too
small; the financial offices are too crowded and inadequately 
housed; salary schedule is considerably below the schedule 
of state-supported colleges for Negroes in Florida, North
Carolina, Texas and Tennessee; there is an outstanding need
for office space for use by officers of instruction.
In brief, the Committee listed about 28 points at which
the Regents should begin a serious campaign of improvement. 
At the Savannah State College the Commission finds:
"The training of the faculty falls below the standards
required for full recognition of the Association, with only
one department head holding a doctorate degree; library
falls below the present standards, books are inadequate and
put of date, physical plant is congested; gymnasium has no
dressing room, showers, nor classrooms together with a
great number of other deficiencies.
This then, is a word by word picture of the future as
well as present status of our State supported higher educational 
institutions. It is serious, indeed. Add to that condition 
the fact that the Southern Association will discontinue
rating any schools with the present "B" rating, then we are
facing a period when each of these institutions will have no
standing, except that the Regents act upon these recommendations 
promptly. The fact that they requested the
study is indicative of a willing desire to effect great and
speedy improvements. We hope they act at once.

Events At Manassas
With "Mr. Joe Knows"
Last weekend, the "Double Ten"
club sponsored u fine program in
the magnificent auditorium of our
fine school.
The Double Ten Club is composed
of twenty lovely, intelligent, young
high school seniors. These young
ladies have the fact pressed upon
them that they are at all times to
set a precedent for others to follow. 
And it is because these young
ladies strive so hard to do the
things expected of them that their
club is a successful, highly respected 
organization.
The Double Tens invite the
Woodstock Training School's Glee
Club to make an appearance on
their program. The glee club sang
several numbers; some spirituals
and popular numbers.
This very fine program was enjoyed 
by students and faculty members 
from the 7th through the 12th
grades.
After the program the guests
were recipients of Manassas' inimitable 
'hospitality and courtesy.
The advisor of the Double. Ten
Club is Mrs. G. V. Harvey, an English 
teacher at Manassas.

REVIEWING

NEWS
BY WILLIAM GORDON
The question of manpower in America today is without a
doubt own of the must vital topics for discussion. The dreadful disease 
of "war has thrown a shadow across the hearts of all
Americans, making us conscious of the emergency which is becoming 
more and more widespread.
Sometimes, fear and even a crisis might not be enough to
make people wake up to the realization of a real danger.
Americans have for a long time now, followed a set pattern
for doing things. This pattern has not been the most useful and
fair....... in regard to many of the citizens living under the
American flag.
A short while back, a group of national Negro leaders called
a special conference in New York to plan a major policy conference 
with President Truman at the White House at an early
dale.
The group of leaders included such persons as Dr. Channing
H. Tobias, Director of the Phelp-Stokes Foundation, Dr. Benjamin
E. Mays of Atlanta and others.
The issues to be considered in this conference with President
Truman would be as follows:
1. Action by the President to abolish jim crow in Washington,
D. C. the nation's capital as a emergency war measure.
2. Appointment of a Negro as ranking administrative assistant 
or secretary to the President at the White House.
3. Integration of qualified Negroes into the policy making
bodies of the government.
4. Integration of qualified Negroes into higher echelons of
the foreign services in all embassies and councils of the United
States of America in all countries of the world.
The question of employment will also be among the many
topics discussed at the conference relative to Negroes in industry.
In a democracy like ours, such a conference should not be
necessary. It would not be necessary if we really practiced democracy 
in the manner which we should in this country.
Negro Americans constitute one-tenth of the nation's population. 
Their rights as citizens of this country should not have to
be fought and bargained for every time we head for a national
emergency.
The mere fact that we are so often heading for a national
emergency may stem from the fact that a large part of our
population is being denied the things which we go abroad to
fight for. The last two wars we had were concerned with the
perpetuation of freedom and democracy for people who were
being kicked around by nations and people wanting to control
the world. Here in 1951, we are faced with a siniilar emergency.
Once again we are going abroad to die for the things which
we ourselves are weak and lacking.
The millions of tons of destructive weapons, the gallons of
blood we spill on the battle field of the world and the billions we
spend for defense purposes will not solve a problem for which we
ourselves are largely responsible.
The question of manpower will always be a problem to us
as long as we permit bigotry, discrimination and bias to infest
the leadership of our nation. Instead of going abroad to fight
a war which rightfully belongs to someone else, we should remain 
here and first settle some of the things which are tearing
us apart as a nation.

Greek-Letter

Grand Bislleus of Zeta Phi Beta.
Letters have been sent to President 
Truman and Congressional
leaders advising them of the actions
taken by the convening groups
Although enactment of Fair employment 
and other civil rights
legislation was a major promise in
the national platforms of both the
Democraic and Republican parties,
the 81st Congress adjourned without
passage of a single civil rights bill.
We call upon the members of the
both parties in the 82nd Congress
to join together on a bi-partisan
basis and speedily enact these important 
measures into law.
We call upon the President to
Senate to make a revision of its
parliamentary rules the first order
of business in January 1951 so that
the power of a wilful prejudiced
minority to frustrate the action of
the mazority by filibuster may be
curbed.
The present critical national
emergency demand the full mobilization 
of our nation's human as
well as physical resources. Unfortunately 
cur governmental leaders
have not recognized this sufficiently 
to take the necessary and proper
action to date.
We call upon the President to
establish by Executive Order a Fair
Employment Practice Commission
similar to that in existence during
World War Two so that contractors
producing defense materials will not
discriminate In hiring or upgrading
on the basis of race religion or
color.
Housing for Negroes and other
minority groups is still a critical
need and to date has been little
ameliorated by the present government 
program of public housing or
assistance to privately-financed
housing.
We call upon the Housing and
Home Finance Agency of the United
States Government to step up its
program and to adequately insure
that full participation will be accorded 
Negroes and other minorities 
in all new housing made available 
directly or indirectly through
government funds.
We call upon local groups through
out the country to take a spical interest 
in the housing problem, consult 
with local housing authorities,
and redevelopment agencies keep a
sharp look-out for any and all discriminatory 
practices and take
positive steps to see that Negroes
and other minorities benefit equally 
from the housing program.
We call upon the Congress to pass
the Federal Aid To Education bill
with safeguards insuring that, the
funds will be distributed equitably
among the races and will not be
used to support or extend the system 
of segregated education in the
South.
To date, scant recognition has
been given Negroes in Federal appointments 
and many of those who
held positions of professional or administrative 
responsibility during
the last war have been let out.
This serious situation reflects no
credit on the present administration 
and the appointment of Judge
Hastle was significant primarily for
its uniqueness.
We call upon President Truman
to bring into positions of responsibility 
able and qualified Negroes,
who now are generally ignored when
selections are being made.

White Asks

Whte, in identical telegrams to
Secretary of Defense George Marshall, 
Secretary of the Army Frank
Pace, Secretary of the Air Force
Thomas Finletter and Secretary of
the Navy Francis P. Matthews
warned that "such treatment by
military personnel can only succeed 
in adversely affecting the morale 
of Negro troops.... and hamper 
efforts to secure full-hearted
support of the American Negro for
the Government's military and
foreign policy program.
In his telegrams, dated January
9, Mr. White mentioned particularly 
conditions at Camp Rucker,
Alabama, where it is charged, Negro 
inductees are segregated in inferior 
and poorly equipped areas
and humiliated by military police
whenever they venture into, the
surrounding community.
