But as we look at it today, we can’t help but wonder “how Christian is the church,” Are the members of the church serious about the business of "levin? one another.” For some reason we have, failed to reach those goals set for the world by the Man of Gali lee. We have built our church spires pointing to ward the heavens end established related institu tutions to indoctrinate our citizens of tomorrow with the essence of the way of life lived by Jesus of Nazareth. All this, and men have butchered one another in barbarism and savagery of caveman's wavs The world is about -o b« torn asunder bj rieic strife, waves of nationalism, and the tls? cat o? nuclear warfare.

Unxorturia: in the trades became the victim of this new thinking ana its doom began when, the teacher train: q de gree was forced into the curriculum. This of course meant that those guiding the destiny of the Trade School and of course those fe aching the trades were victims of the forced demand for further liberal art-?. or teacher trad'in?,.

Thin meant that the old Hampton trade school graduates w.rr only two-third prepare?! teachers or tradesmen in their subject matter. The boy. training ot Hampton from the !«<•• thirties through the middle fifties in the trades, had only 32 V? hours a week against -1 i hours Exhausting Administrative Remedies The wheels of iwtke grind slowly and some timer-. ridiruously. This is true it' (he c— v of Joseph Hiram Holt, Jr., who has been in and out of the courts for two years peeking admis sion to enroll in the all-white Needham- Broughton High School near his home. If he has to wait another year, it will be too late to attend inasmuch as he will have graduated from the Ligon High School nearly three miles from his home. How it must have shocked him to learn that Judge Edvdn Stanley of the Federal District Court, ruled in his case that he did not ex mist all administrative remedies under the North Caroline Pupil Assignment Art before instit.n • jng his law suit. “The parents’ failure,” the Judge said, “came when they sent a lawyer to represent them and d’d not appear personally at a hearing held by the Raleigh School Board on thr boy’s reassignment ream st on Ai cu ■ 23, 1957.” Just how will a student know when he has exhausted ALL administrative remedies?- We think the Raleigh School Board should make public the steps one should take ia WORDS OF WORSHIP The Hampton Tragedy worshipper or Negro ha one Oi our ncn-dicased Protestant congregations? Social programs in most churches have been aimed at increasing their own congregations ra ther than serving the communities as a whole, 'i he churches have failed to find an answer to the problems of youth and family maladjustment. and man;: ament, the slum dweller, racial segregation and discrimination. A complete inertia exists among clergymen of most, faiths and concerning the problem of al coholism. Our preacher's have dismissed the ai chollc as a moral defective and sinner, rather than a sick person who needs the help and un derstanding of the church. If a “drunk” walked in during the services at many churches and asked for help, Christian women would turn up their noses while the male ushers would be instructed to take “the bum” and throw him out on the street. More than like ly, the police patrol would be called to the scene. When will the world of righteousness come? It will come when church members will not be .satisfied to keep their religion in their Bibles and hymn books. It will come when Christians move their religion o-ut from the church walls into ail avenues of life and live it. The church must unlock the front door and let Jesus come in. Then if will become Christian. a week and :> years again?! 4 years in his trade or subject matter And of course he was to be come a tradesman if he elected to do so after three years or a teacher after five years. How ever, ihe hath is, he was not required to be come either a tradesman or a teacher because he was not even a two-thirder as was his fa riwr who bad one yen' more and near 12 hours more per week in his subject matter gaining only a rating according to the Hampton cata logue of a two-thirder. In consequence of the foregoing the Hampton enrollment began to drop. This, of course, posed a problem for the administration. it found itself, through its own making, with rahnrr salaries for its trades teachers due to !?. ’ den and for further education to maintain requrad wiling as a college and fewer stu ’ ’ ts to surely income to meet this dilemma in ‘be t.ndr V so!. This started the exit of the ' iw H . nipt on. The question of not being able to get sufficient students in the trades • be attributed to the above along with a general >■ --liman year where no student is ex posed to his major under a year of study in general liberal arts courses. To turn the clock back at Hampton in the '.'.-.vies may racm difficult in the minds of /those who have charted its course towards a liberal art: and engineering, electronic and building construction college. However, the great need for tradesmen, not trades teachers is more pre valent tlmrs ever. And the following is sug gested to the administration: Set up a curriculum based on a three year program under a separate school on high school level, allowing boys to finish their juni or and senior high school years at Hampton while training themselves in the trades. Should anyone care to become a teacher he could fur ther train himself in liberal education. This type of curriculum, while on high school level, would produce tradesmen who would be in a position, to produce as well as become po tential teachers who would have their subject matter. It i easily understood how the niceties carry appeal ins!', ad of the necessary. Nonetheless, u is far mote important with the wealth of the: -date .schools, the entry in greater numbers of Negroes into the once whit schools of higher training, that some schools look at the neces sary. America in the main is an industrial and apricuituru! count.! y and the need is great for trained people who can not only use their hrrios hat also their hands. It is truly a pity rare Hampton has turned its hack on its tra p-don. In fact it sec-ins like a betrayal to its founder that it cannot: at this late hour meet the challenge of its time through the concept of its history and heritage by reactivating # t'hdo program that would meet the needs of the day As a race wo can ill afford to discard or turn <>ur backs on the rich fields through which this < o ;ntry has been made the greatest producer on earth by not being able to look to Hamp ton for trained artisans who will put our hands back m the tools and machines. ALL administrative remedies. Otherwise, a Negro pupil seeking reassignment to another school will have to ask: “What lack I yet?” judge Stanley was quite specific in his in terpretation of the stale statue. The School Board has a moral obligation to be specific as to what it considers the necessary steps in ex - hausting administrative remedies. If this is not done, a pupil's request for reassignment can easily be left to any dilatory technique any school board may choose to employ. The whole world knows the purpose of the Pupil Alignment Act, and that is why Negroes have carried their cases to the courts. Negroes know that if they had waited for school offi cials to voluntarily assign Negro pupils to white school not one of the eleven Negro chil dren now attending integrated schools in the state would be doing so.

What Other Editors Say FORCED SEGREGATION BADGE OF INFERIORITY According to Congressman Brooks Hays of Arkansas, what the people of Little Kook object to is ‘ forced integration.” It has seemingly never occurr ed to Congressman Hays and others who think like him that what Negroes object is “forced segregation.” “Forced segregation” i* a badge of inferiority. It is the South';, way of relegating its Negro citi eris, regardless of their charac aeter, intelligence, formal train ing, accomplishments, or wealth, to an inferior status. Negro parents in Little Rock and elsewhere are not particu larly anxious to have their sons and daughters sitting next to white boys and girls. They merely want their children to have the best, education which their tax funds help make possi ble. It is true m Little Rock, as >n other parts of the country, South and North, that schools “for Ne groes only” have a tendency to be inferior in equipment; to he cheated on supplies; to get what's taken for granted in "while” schools in many in stances only after a long period of wrangling. Thus inferiority, we hasten to say, has nothing to do with the ability of the Ne gro teachers, who are in most in stances the equals educationally and otherwise of teachers In the “white” schools. The truth is—and Conger, mar. Hays knows it—that the majority of his constituents In Little Reek would have gore s long peacefully, even if reluc tantly with the School Beard’s plans for gradual integration of the Central High School in Lit tle Rock, hud it not been for Governor Faubus' inciting .Ar kansas residents from other communities to join with the die-hard minority in Little Hock to defy the Supreme Court when ho called out the National Guard ostensibly to keep a peace that was in no danger of being brok en. but actually to keep the nine children chosen by the School Board from enrolling at the school. —Phlladelohla Tribune THE AIR FORCE SURRENDERS The 15.5.

And, It probably is not too much to say that the success or failure of their college careers in a large measure can be predicted accor ding to the adjustments they make including the scores on va rious tests during “orientation -week.” Indeed, the purpose of orientation is to help students to adjust to their new experience and environment—a preview of what to expect in college.
