Charles McNeal, a recent graduate of NCC, and a group of young men are in the process of organizing the first Negro student magazine in the nation. The Soul magazine will be of special interest to students of CIAA schools. The Soul organi zers have in their minds an in genius idea to preserve the cul ture of the Negro. The magazine will feature fashions, humor, editorial, and musical evaluations. Around April 1, the magazine will make its appearance as the unifying element of Soul throughout the CIAA. McNeil said, “This will be the beginning of the maga zine which we hop>e to establish on all of the 123 predoi»inantly Negro campuses.” When McNeil was asked what his purpose or the philosophy of the magazine was, he replied., “We, the SoTiI organizers, feel that the white man is destroy-> ing a force which has given the) Negro an identity. This force, of course, is soul. Our music has been misclassified. Bach and Handel have prevailed as clas sics. But the best critics of mu sic are listeners, and our (the Negro) music is accepted world wide. A minority only listen to or appreciates the classics. I feel that the music that everyone enjoys is a classic and Soul mag azine is going to do its best in eradicating this kind of Euro pean cultural supremacy.”
