Southemite^ readily admit that t^e thought is a part of the thinking of their comparatively youthfdl president, Dr. Feltpn Q. Clark who himself was a college athlete but whose balance is re vealed in this attribute pins the Possesion of a Ph.D. degre#, a Phi Beta Kappa key, a listing in “Who’s Who in American,” and an earnest desire to make South ern’s students” the friendliest students in the country.” Another index of “The South ern Idea” is physical I^ant coat ing $3,000,000.00, a faculty of 107 person, including Arnett Mum- ford. who is directly responnible for Southern’s athletis and phy- silal eduration progr»m and his assistants, “Gil” Qruter, worl4's champion high jumper, Dr. J. ‘•‘Skip” Hazzard, Russe|| Blunt, and “Cliff” Purnell^ all of whom carry full teacfa|qg' loads in the iwademip progirfn\,o| the univ^- »ity. ^ A'ifeed if _ tiers woqld be an other series of ehaippiooshipe next year, Coa«h.

There are. a number of Negro boys sind girls in the city between fourteen'and sixteen years of age who are idle. They are too old to be compelled to go to sfiool and are too young to be enjiployed. Consequently they move a^ut the community with no direction "at all. The Civitan Club recently became in terested in this problem and has established at the Bethlehem Center a boy?? worker whose duty it wll be to try and round up and direct the lives of boys of this age. 3. During^ 1940-41 there are enrolled 5,875 N^ro pupils in the schools of the city. !fhe»e schools will close on June 11th. After this date these 5,875 young people will be left in our communities with no direction, no playarround faciliti^ Or any other worthwhile endeavors to occupy their time between now and the opening^of sc)toOl in September. The lack recre-. ational facilities is resfonsiji^e for some of the crime. ' 4. Indifference on the i^rt of the people in the community contributes also to the crime situation. 5. There is no outstanding civ ic organization that seems to be interested in the problem enough to give a careful study of the situation. There are many factors which contributed to the crime situation that can only be discovered through a systemat ic and scientific study of our local situation. This has not yet been undertaken. The peo ple here in Charlotte are no different from people in other communities. There are certain situations which affect our problem that have not been brought to light or given suffi cient emphasis. George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff, of U. S. Army: ‘Tt is difficult to continue to acccpt gracefully comments that; we ara building a ‘man- powtjf' Array on an outmoded’ pattern " IGeoiije W.
