PAGETOUB, THE LANCE. Integration Thaf6 right, St. Andrews win be integrated again next year. As we all know, St. Andrews has never been legally segre gated. We will accept any qua. ilfSed negro student. I guess this makes tie something of Christian pioneers, this good at« titude and intention, I mean. So much for good intentions and roads to places, etc. Some would contend that, de facto, we have never been se-; gregated, for, as has always been the case, cafeteria aixl main- tenance help will be almost en» tirely negro. All students are encouraged to talk to these negroes and be as friendly, at least ostensibly, as possible. This win further our equalitarian and Christian \xco- therhood image in the eyes of townspeople. However, students should avoid any radical inte- gratiouist talk while in town for obvious reasons. Also, students should remember that k any out. sider in an expensive looking stiit should observe any interracial friendship and frown, the student should immediately recognize the inadvisability of mingling with hirelings. A few upstart radicals have even gone 60 far as to suggest negroes be admitted as students. Of course those of us in the know, realize that this is impossible, as it is troublesome to adjust to such an awkward situation as integration in this particular area. And if there’s anything a Christian college can't afford it’s an awkward situation. Why cause ripples cm the lake, it migjit cause our unstable little boats to over turn. Probably the most unfortunate happening lately has been the un timely appearance of an arch in- tegrationist, William Strangefel. low, on our campus. He em barrassed some pe^le, made others mad. Spontaneous, un- platitudinous, emotional display is a rare occurrence on our cam pus, Why did he insult us? He came t?) with some asinine idea that Christian college should not only give equal treatment but even embrace and encourage potential negro students. Further, he said, that a Christian college should divest Itself of all dcmors with racist leanings. And then he had the gall to suggest that we, as Christians, were not doing ne- groes a favor. Anyone who attended the Strange- fellow lectures can immediately dismiss these intimations as ra dical leftism designed to upset happy and secure people. He was. Indeed, a a most Strange fel low. No wonder speaker ban laws are passed! Further integration will take place in calculus classes. For this we can be justly proud. But, does this mean that all math ma- Jors ar-^ communists? We feel sure that the Laurinburg V.F,W. would admonish the administra- tk)n if such a situation existed. We can always rely on the out- side for political and moral dl- rectlves alleviating the campus community of the excruciating pain of thinking, Involvement and opposition to pressure. Blessed are the complacent, for they shall inherit the endowment! EVAN HUNTER,A PSEUDONYM NEW YORK (AP) - Evan Hunter, author of the Broadway play "A Race of Hairy Men!," keeps his real identity concealed deep within an academic alias. The writer also of several best-seller novels, he created his nom de plume out of Evander Childs, the name of the New York high school he went to, and Hunter College, where he re ceived a B.A. Business as sociates unable to penetrate the disguise get only a smile when they ask why. Iniirmiry Gets New Facilities Tuesday the infirmary announc ed the acquisition of a new hos- pttal-type bed. This new bed will double the present capacity of the infirmary to a total of two. This new acquisition is on ly one in a series of improve ments which has been going on an year. Among other improvements which were implemented this year was the introduction of the new wonder drug acetysalicylic add, known more commonly by the trade name of aspirin. As pirin has been used with astonish, ing results for treatment of not cmly coii^bs, colds, and other up per respiratory aliments, but al so in cases of malnutrition (which are seen on this campus with sur- prising frequency), mono, mom- ing sickness, and even broken bones. In the short time since its introduction to the campus, aspirin has become the standard treatment for most aliments han. died by the infirmary. The infirmary also has in stalled recently tiie latest in household luxuries for the com fort of its patients, running water and electric lights. These new facilities replace the older, but more dependable, pump and oil lamps. This change has brought criticism from tlie more con servative elements of the cam pus, but it only demonstrates the progressive spirit of our medi cal services. Scheduled for in stallation next will be a system of indoor plumbing which will re place the present facilities now located out back. Also announced Tuesday was an extensicm of the time which the infirmary would be open to stu- dents. The new time is between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:45 a,m., an extension of fifteen minutes. The doctor is now a. vailable between 7:15 a.m. and 7:30 a,m. cm Tuesdays and Thurs days. Because of this new ex tension of time, students are a- gain warned that only extremely critical cases will be treated at other times. Cooperation with this policy by becoming iU at the above stated times and these Opinion A very distinguished guest of the college was speakii« to the combined classes of Dand Hawk (Soc. 404) and Dr. Daugh- tery and Mr. Silas Vai^hn 311) recently, lliat visttor to our campus was none other than the internationally renowned Dr, Zelma George, Dr. George was addressing the classes on the “Colored people of the World Unite” theme in Chinese Communist propaganda. In her talk she mentioned that one of the strong points in the Chinese argument was the fact that on the U.S. Census books mankind is divided into two groups, “White” and "Non- v^ite." Ilie Chinese point to this and to the fact that we trade with every Communist nation in the world except China and Cuba, She further said that their ar gument was more ilian adequate ly by the race crisis going on ri^t now in the U,S. The Chinese say that we no longer align ourselves along ideological lines, but along ra cial lines. The Chinese con sider only those persons colored who are considered so by our census books. Therefore they call for tiie colored peopies of the world to unite. At this point Mr. Vaughn took it upon himself to inform Dr, George that this distinction was not scientiflcally correct. He contereled that -K^ite is a color, therefore we, too, were classi fied as colored. He suggested that a more reasonable division might be “White,” “Nonwhite,” times cmly will make our medi cal services as effective as pos- sible. In a recent evaluation of the campus medical facilities, the American Association of College Infirmaries commented favor- ablely cm the availability and quality of treatment which the infirmary offered. In their e- valuatlon, the Association favor- ablely compared our facilities with these available to Union troops at the Confederate Pri son Camp at Andersonvllle, I Georgia. and “Negroes.” Dr, George was quick to inform him lliat she was not even vague ly interested in whether or not white is a color, that what she was talking about was what is the actual state of affairs on cjur census booiks. She dismis^ ed his objection on the grounds tiiat it was a nice piece of mere semantics and had nothii« to do with the validity of her state ments. a had already been weU established that Dr. George had actuaUy been to the places she talked about as a U.S. citizen for the State Department and for MAY 14, 19^^ the United Nations.
