SUPPORT SHAW UNIVERSITY'S SOS FUND CAMPAIGN!
The poet who wrote that momentous poem, “Into The
Valley Rode The 600" must have envisioned a day like Sat
urday and Sunday of this week when 600 students of Shaw
University will take to the streets and highways of Raleigh to
save that beloved institution. Their'march will be different
from the one that the poet depicted, but it should open the
hearts and pocketbooks of every person they contact.
DOING HIS DUTY An unidentified white youth, one of
sixteen civil rights demonstrators arrested last week in Annapolis,
Md., is dragged away by a Negro police officer after staging a
sit-in. When the sixteen refused to leave a restaurant at closing

lishment. Trained in the tactics of non-violence, the demonstrators

Why Not Mix’ Teachers?
(Aw Editorial)
ft seems singular that of all segments of our society the
teaching profession Has not teen fit to integrate in its various rami
fications of our society.
At one time we looked at education as a cure-all. Today, we
still look to education as our pilot to the promised land of a Chris
tian democracy for all people. When train their minds
and their hearts, there should be no room for malice, selfishness,
prejudice and all the multitude of evils akin to ingnorance and
illiteracy.
However, in our fair city next week the teachers and educa
tional leadership will be in session, both white and Negro, under
the same NEA banner, but with the same time waisting dual,
segregated conventions. Nonetheless, behind the smoke screen of
antiquated custom of separation both conventions will have some
sessions at the same time on State College’s campus. Usually our
teachers (NCTA) meet tha week following the white teachers,
and have no contact at all.
Next year we hope the teaching profession will see fit to set an ex
ample In integrating their convention so that the duplication of
speakers, disregard for forthright example, according to the Supreme
Court and a distorted linage to their students will cease to exist.
The executive secretary of NCTA, Dr. Charles A. Lyons. Jr., has
had much much experience In selling integration by virtura of his

prove to all Raleigh citizens that now is the time.
Big business, corporations, small businesses and Individ

tion and be forced to close its doors it will be a sad commetary
