It has been said that Negro
college students are not ready
for integration; this, of course,
is debatable. It is easy to under
stand how a person who does
not know the real Negro can
come to such a conclusion, for
it is a fact that Negroes have
traditionally been taught that
when they are displeased about
something, they should make
their displeasure known through
the proper channels. The ad
ministrators of our Negro col
leges have provided student
government organizations, stu
dent courts, and student wel
fare committees in order that
students may make their desires
known. Many colleges also ad
vocate a program of student
academic freedom, which is
similar to NCC’s program of
Student Self-direction.
It is my understanding that
such channels for student ex
pression have also been insti-

tuted at many of the predomi-
nently white colleges; these
colleges also advocate a pro
gram of student academic free
dom. Although the students’ use
of the proper channels as set up
by the administrators of white
colleges has apparently been
ineffective, this is certainly not
true of the program of student
academic freedom. Negro stU’
dents, therefore, would do well
to observe how the white stu
dents use this program of stu
dent academic freedom, and
perhaps even imitate them.
A shining example of student
academic freedom in action on
a predominently white college
campus is the recent incident in
^hich a group of students dis
covered that some visitors who
were attending a ball game at
their school had monopolized
the parking area, leaving no
space for the students’ cars. Did
the students wait until the next
day to present their problem
“through the proper channels”?
Certainly not! iTiey Simply put
their program of student aca
demic freedom to work by in
citing a riot; to make sure that
the administrators got the point,
they indulged in a bit of tear
gas bomb-throwing. Needless to
say, the riot resulted in the jail
ing of several students, and a
bit of unfavorable publicity.
Nevertheless, the mission was
accomplished and that is the
important thing.
This is the way things are
done on white college campuses;
no time is wasted with the
“proper channels”, for things
are done quickly and effective
ly by the students who put their
program of student academic
freedom to work. So until Ne
gro students have learned to
disregard the “proper channels”
and put their programs of stu
dent academic freedom into ac
tion, they can never hope to
compete with students in an in
tegrated society.
Lee Calhoun, Olympic medal-
ist of North Carolina, fulfilled
a favorite role on March 22 by
winning the 50-yard High Hur
dles before a near-capacity
Cleveland Arena crowd at the
season’s final big indoor track
meet of the Knights of Colxmi-
bus in Cleveland, Ohio.
Calhoun came home a yard
in front of Hayes Jones, Eastern
Michigan, in a 6.1 second time
that ties the world indoor mark.
Running a poor third behind
Lee was MUt Campbell.
While Calhoun was racing in
Cleveland, track and field
coach, Leroy T. Walker, re
leased the track schedule for
the outdoor season which in
cludes the annual Carolina Re
lays, the Penn Relays, and
CIAA Track Meet.
The Carolina Relays for which
North Carolina College is the
host team will take place on
May 4 and the Penn Relays pre
cedes it on April 26-27 in
Philadelphia.
The rest of the schedule is
April 6, South Carolina, here;
April 13, Winston-Salem Teach
ers, here; April 20, Virginia
State, Petersburg, Va.; May 11,
CIAA, Baltimore, Maryland;
and May 18, Carolina AAU,
Raleigh.
Calhoun will participate in,
four other meets on the West
Coast. They are on May 31,
Compton, California; June 1,
Stockton, California; June 7,
NAIA; and Jiuie 8, NCAA.

during the regular seasons of CIAA competition. Coach
Younge, tennis coach, stated that the highest that they have
placed in tournament play is fourth. This took place last
season as they were defeated by Monroe-Mudd combination of
Hampton in the semi-finals of the CIAA Double Champion
ship.
As baseball approaches the top of the agenda, my fore
casts for the world series are: National leagues, St. Louis,
American League: Chicago.

It’s a puzzlement:
When you’re old enough to go to college,
you’re-old enough to go out with girls. When
you’re old enough to go out with girls, who needs
college? Oh well, there’s always Coke.
