THE PLATFORM To stimulate friendly and con structive cooperation between student and faculty. To inspire Christian fellowship. To motivate an interest in high er scholastic ability and extra curricula-activities. To set up ideals that will be goals for our future teachers. PEACE AND ORDER One of the most perplexing problems facing nearly every race and nation is that of keeping peace and order. Let us notice, first, the conditions that our country faces today. The Ameri can peop e do not realize that they are in the first stage of a revolu tion. They do not realize the good and bad of labor union. Long be fore the communist revolution in Russia ransferred power from Kerensky’s provisional govern ment to Lenin, the workers had destroyed all rights 'of private property in industrial and com mercial enterprises. Step by step the labor union had seized the plants, in every ci(y of Russia and in every industrial shop, commit tees had laken over the manage ment. First, private property was destroyed and second, human rights were nearly abolished. It was the end of Russia’s chance for democracy. As those days in Russia are discussed, it brings to my mind the siezures of property in this country and of compromis es, the minority s.ands upon the shoulders of those whom they fool, only as long as they need protection. When they are strong enough, they destroy the props that supported them. The Jews in Germany in Hitler’s early days were just such props. Where are they now? No other race has been so unmercifully perscuted as the Jews. Various experiences with revol ution shows that the siezures of private property by lawless bands before whom government stands impotent is the first major bat tle on the destruction of any gov ernment. Let not the intelligent, educated people of America pat tern after those of Russia in a similar situalion. Not a construc tive word came from the educated gioup; not a constructive idea. The organized minority had fo cused it’s will on the siezures of property and government. The majority was destroyed because iu cou d not believe that it had to be organized to fight to live. Let us as true American citi zens unite as one and work for .ne good of one common cause. Let education and cooperation -est/Ore peace and order to our country forever.

Most of us will stop and won der why. Some might b.ame the school board or the faculty mem bers. But regardless of what we think or whom we blame, a call was sent ou, for bids and to our .'egret no Negro architect or con tractor responded .No bid was sub mitted either for the brick, work, plumbing or the steam work, and out of this great amount of money to be spen^ on our school and ground, no Negro will receive any part for skilled labor. The only part he can receive now is a lit- de pay for common labor. ‘ WE NEED A BUS The eyes of the world are on wo dictators, Hitler and Musso lini, but technically speaking, the number of dictators is as large as the population of the world. We speak of racial re-adjustment, jocial re-adjustment, religious and international re-adjustments. My advocation is self re-adjustmen„. Each individual is a ruler of a country. This country is his hu man bcdy. This country is divided and subdivided into parts, organs, cei.s, etc, which we may, by way of comparison speak of as states and courities. The mind is the capitol. It acts as the dictator of he country. Remember, readers, that a dictator does not succeed without obedience and “follow- up” of his subjects. Neither does our “dictator” function without proper coordination and coopera tion of the “sta.es” as they’ve been termed. It is true that dictatorship isn’t half as bad as it seems to one who is standing aside looking on. If each one of us would try re-ad justing ourselves, setting for our goal 100 percent self dictatorship I have a feeling that national dic tatorship won’t be half so bad when it comes.
