Schooler- (Cibnlinu«d from page TwoV weather we found there. I suppose you Kw>w t^et Berlin sits right in the mid^Je (ft JCa«t Gennany. tbe eastern third oJf the city is Communist. We viaited the Communist zone on our ter noon. \ye v^ent by bus there. We saw that the core of the city lie$ to that side of tiie uordbr. Xu the magnificent govern ment, diplomatic, and artistic buildings are there unrepaired after having been gutted ’ by AtoerlcaQ, Priti«h, and Rus-' sian bombings thirteen years ago. We saw Stalinalee, a fine looking area which is sup posed to make up for the lack of renayation irt the rc*t of the Red-zone. We saw a splendid memorial park which the Russians ISTiilt immediately to commemorate their victory over Germany; the ruins of the place where Hitlef’committed suicide. The great rtiajority of the bombed- out lAiildlngs have been left exactly as thiey were, and tew ^ people were seen walking the* streets. Photographing Russi an 9014191^ was ndt allowed. In contrast, the Western sec tion has been widely recon structed with the aid of the ' AnlertCant, British, other ^est,«Germans, and several ^(fuiftrles over the world. Building is a constant process throughout the Western aone, and the cjfy, hat uiteiiy ga^ed na^uc^i of't^^ be^litji' if had before the war. Seemin||}y complete restoration of hiue ’ department'stores, of theatars, transportation systems, ^^id parks demonstrate the pro- gresa and the astounding spirit and industry of the people of Berlin. I contacted Herbert Zimmer’ mann, a ^ Berliner whom I knew well after he had sp^nt a year at Wittenberg. I had told him 1 was coming, and he was expecting me. I didn’t ac cept his invitation to stay at his hQU8£ in the American sec tor. I thought it wbuld be better to stay at the hotel with the rest of the group. HaW'> ever, I spent most of my time in Berlin with him. He’s an architectoal student at the Technical University In the cent^ of town. His father is a Li/theran minister who moved to Berlin with his family of nine from the Com munist East Germany in 1S49. They live in a huge house in a beautiful residential area overlooking a lake called Schlachtensee. When I went there one night for supper, I enjoyed meeting his suters, brothers, and his mothe^, all of whom speak varying amounts of Gngljis^. Herb showed me much of his part of the city (the western part). It included an architec tural exhibit in the middle of town. Here architects from Europe, the Americas, find Asia showed off 'their latest ideas in apartment buildings ljshe« Museum Whjfi^ ^^ng many medieval European treaturea, th» very famous h«ad of.Nefretiti which is one of my fayorite piec^ of art; lie took me through the Kon- grewhalle, a very mocUifn buiMing donated by the United States, and In which he had b«en a ^uide last fall. I^ast night be and I went to TchaUcoy^yi’s “Sleeping Beauty” ballet at one of the four great opera houses which the Ruwieos didn’t win after the war. I have 80 many unforgettable impressions to r^ate to you later about this visit to end all visits.

C. Conference. 'rhough. in effect tabled, a resolution asking for the ad* mittance of qualified Negro students to Methodist institu tions in this State received a .surprising 60 votes and was sponsored by thirteen persons. The chief introducer, ihe Rev. Harmon Smith, pastor of Grace Methodist Church in Burlington, explained that the resolution would havb re quested the boards of trustees of Duke University (not just its Divinity School), pr^ena- boro College Tor Women, High Point College and Lquisburg College to begin admitting Negro students. It is a $afc prediction that such resolutions will continue to be offered at annual ses sions of the Methodist con ferences in this Btate in the future. Moreover, such resolu tions will gain suppoH with each introduction. Howerever, it can be also THE CAHOUKA TAfES S«ii 13, lii04- safely predicted that it will a long time t>eforc a white Methodist confcrcnce in North Carolina will approve such a resolution. It is most significant, however, that auch reaolutjons will continue to be offered with increasing regu larity and that with each in troduction affirmative votes will increase. Alehemy Of Ckange 3uch actiooa as these indicate that a gradual fesment or slow alchemy of change cre ating the atmosphere for the acceptance of such resolutions is working Its way through Tar Heel Methodism. Most revealing of things to come in this field in Tar Heel Methodism is the Smith reso lution and the debate which took place both on the floor and at a special session of the group which held in midnight meeting to consider the resof lution for the entire group, re vealed a surprising tenera} tenor of feeling and views. Needles A Little Tite Rer. Douglas E.

He was schedulf^ to bring fraternal greetinfes from the N. C. Methodist Con ference of the Central Juris diction into which are lumped aU Negro Methodist confer ences and churches. Speaking quietly and sober ly and at times almost inaudi- bly, the very way he spoke ad ded to the impressiveness of his message. He questioned whether the present “jurisdictional sys tem,” the system with the im pressive name by which the Methodist Church maintains segregation between its white and Negro churches, is either efficient or necessary. "We Negro Methodists also also deeply concerned about ' ' mfnMc^ sa>4 ifiiliinf ii ob vious references to Uis Heri MedwA; uipoii liilnT cAKSttosi in which they are eoMln cUftg two senior coOefes, at lUKkjr Motint and FayetteviUs. “We Negro Metiwitets aim need to send our jrouiic to coliege,” be aasert«i “la reference to your ntw eoir leges, it may be an \nlmtr Question, but we Negro thodists are asking, **Are theM new colleges to be rstagis for segregation”?
