KCC-U. Of Wis. Exchange Planned
A new plan for inter-regional,
inter-cultural, and inter-racial
exchange of students and facul
ty, is presently in the planning
stages at the University of Wis-
Gonsin, Milwaukee.
Dr. Lawrence Howard, direc
tor of the Institute of Human
Relations at U W M, recently
completed a trip to two southern
colleges and a southern univer
sity to study the possibility of
a reciprocal exchange of faculty
and students under a Carnegie
sponsored Exchange Program.
Each southern school has pre
dominately Negro st u d e n t
bodies and liberally integrated
faculties.
Participating schools are
Texas Southern University,
Houston, Texas; North Carolina
A and T, Greensboro, North
Carolina; and North Carolina
College, Durham, North Caro

Omegas Hold
Charity Dance
The Tau Psi Chapter of
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity held
a charity dance in the Women’s
Gymnasium, Saturday, Novem
ber 14. In their continuing drive
for community service, the
Brothers of Tau Psi presented
the charity dance for the bene
fit of the needy families in the
North Carolina College Com
munity.
The admission to the dance
was one item of canned or pack
aged food. More than 500 Eagles
attended the dance and brought
a variety of food items. Vice
Basileus Clark Scales said that
they brought “. . .everything
from apricots to ‘zesta’ crack
ers.” Medium sized cans of
peaches, beets, orange juice,
tuna fish, potatoes, cranberry
sauce, soups, string beans, spa
ghetti, corn spinach, and lunch
eon meats were among the foods
collected.
The most numerous items
were six dozen cans of pork and
beans and four dozen packs of
one-serving breakfast cereals.
of Wisconsin in Madison are the
participating northern schools.
In an interview after his re
turn to Milwaukee, he comment
ed that the three schools have
well prepared faculty whose
background and experience
would benefit UWM or any
other university. “The Exchange
Program, as presently consti
tuted, puts the heavy emphasis
Mpon providing opportunities
for Negro faculty from the par
ticipating southern luiiversities
to come to Wisconsin. Dr. How
ard said.
He also cited a variety of pro
grams in progress at the south
ern institutions to assist high
school students in their tran
sition to the freshman year of
college. “These programs, link
ed with similar UWM projects,
yield valuable gains for all con
cerned,” Howard said.
The plan would free sorely
needed professors for advanced
teaching of freshman and closer
supervision of freshmen classes.
It would also provide intern
teaching opportunities for Wis
consin graduate students, he
said.
“The research possibilities a
reciprocal inter-cultural ex
change makes possible are an
exciting potential of the pro
gram,” commented Dr. Howard.
