Those Summer Jobs
Besides this immature outlook the college employee has
for the symmer operator other disadvantages. There is the
tendency to stay up late, carouse, and generally disobey
house rules which fault Mr. Lewis criticizes in the enclosed
article. I have found in writing here, there, and elsewhere
checking references young girls give that such carousing
is in many instances the reason and they do not seem to
know it that they are not rehired. Even more serious is
the lack" of honesty. Students sign to work at several hotels
and in the end disappoint all but one. Often they send un
true excuses, such as death in the family, but oftener they
simply fail to appear. They also break working contracts
seemingly without remorse. When a college student has
earned what she thinks will carry her through the next
year, she rationalizes, talks herself into doing what she
really wants to do have a good vacation before school.
I have found contract breakers especially numerovis among
Mid-Western girls. They are essentially tourists who seldom
want to repay your first year's training with a repeat per
formance. Regardless of the departure date appearing on
their contract, they will leave in late August "to see New
York, Atlantic City, the ocean" or something they can't see
on their own fresh water campus. Some first class resorts
have long since instructed their employement managers to
eschew college help, and mainly for this reason.
We small operators have the choice of accepting college
help or of competing with the larger houses for migrating
professional help. Most of us prefer to stay with the former.
We, however, believe the college can and should give us aid.
First, the registrar should end his academic year later
than he does so that the students would become available
i.fter the middle of June a very slow month for resorts.
Second, he should set his registration date for late Septem
ber at least. Now, for example, some students are at a dis
advantage with other college students with later registration
dates. September is a better month for resorts than June
and college and student should make an effort to meet the
demand. The college placement service should handle all
resort help and should insist on reports of student work.
There is an incentive to do well if the student knows his pro-'
gress in his summer job will appear on his college report.
Home Economics students at Cornell, for this reason, are
good hotel help. Colleges without such service are not doing
all they can to promote summer jobs for students.
This year with the largest pile of summer applications
before him since the "thirties," the thoughts that are running
.through a resort manager's mind are as I have set them down.
1 can say this because I have seen the questionnaires they
send to your bureaus. They want exact dates for departures;
they want to know if the applicant has integrity, a sense
of duty. They want to know why he is applying for the
job. They want to know for how many years he will be
available. One operator asks of the applicant that he take
his own personal vacation in June and work up until fall
registration.
Since I know something of both the University and the
Hotel life I would venture this suggestion. Offices such as
yours should be enlarged and more closely integrated with
the administration of the institution. With better facilities
you could serve the student, the summer hotel, the universty.
1 have already indicated how. For the first mentioned there
is a better chance to get the right person into the right job;
there is a meaning and a purpose to his summer work; with
the proper orientation there is a better opportunity on his
part for success. For the summer resort there would be
some relief for its worst problem, and for the University
there would be a better picture of the student's progress,
and since he would be better financed, a likelier chance of
his continuing his studies with profit. All this is better than
heretofore. Thank you again for your time and with best
regards I remain
Cordially yours,

(The brass ring, good for one free ride on the
Washington Merry-Go-Round, today goes to
Trygve Lie, secretary-general of the United Na
tions, now on an important mission to Moscow).
WASHINGTON Shortly before Trygve Lie
left New York on his current mission to Mos
cow, President Truman had announced that the
world looked better a statement which Truman
reiterated . last week. And Trygve Lie, talking
privately to a friend immediately afterward,
said:
"I am glad they (the press)- did not ask me
to comment on President Truman's statement
yesterday that the world situation is better than
in 1946!"
For the Secretary-General of the United Na
tions thinks the world situation is in a very dan
gerous state not because of an immediate threat
of war but because the U.N. is threatened for
its very life. This is the reason for his trip to
Moscow. -
"I am going to tell them," he told a friend
before he left, "What do you want to do about
the "United Nations; we must decide now, be
cause in another six or eight months if the dead
lock" is not broken, this organization will col
lapse." Lie added that he thinks the Soviets recog
nize that their walkout has been a blunder, just
as the Berlin blockade was a blunder. But Rus
sia is a big power and it cannot extricate itself
from this situation without some face-saving.
"Here he made a little circle with his thumb and
forefinger, and peeped through it, and said:
"Some little peephole just some little peep
hole." Since then the search for the peephole has
been made by Lie, the British Foreign Office
and the French. The final result now depends on
Lie's talks in Moscow.
Cornerstone Layer
Most Americans think of Trygve Lie as a
stout, cornerstone-laying character, with a heavy
Scandinavian accent, who does something or
other at the United Nations.
This vagueness is partly Lie's fault. He has
operated for four years on the conviction that
the SecrCtary-General of the U.N. should keep
out of controversy. But he has changed in the
last few months. Lie is now displaying some of
the fire he used to display when, at 16, he be
came' a local president of the Norwegian Labor
Party or the kind of fire he displays now on a
Long Island tennis court when the score is six
games to six and he wants to break the deadlock.
For, in these last months of his five-year
term as Secretary-General, Lie is determined to
hi-pnk- the deadlock of the Cold War. He is
throwing his old caution to the winds. He doesn't
care any more whether he has the support of the
State Department.
Actually, he has lost it. Inside fact is that
the State Department tried to sidetrack his
mission to Moscow.
As a European, and especially as ex-premier
of a country with a long border adjoining Rus
sia, Lie is fearfully worried. He thinks the poli
cy of both sides name-calling and arms-building
will lead to an eye-for-an-eye and a bomb-for-a-bomb.
And his strategy is to try to knock
together the heads of what European delegates
call "Les Deux Grands" "The Two Bigs."

Pitching Horse Shoes
He Gets Paid For This Stuff
For a long time he has been working behind
the scenes with the skill of the best "Washington
lobbyist. One day, he whisks, the Cuban delegate
off to lunch at the Lies' Long Island home. Next
day he maLes a private appointment to meet a
British or i French delegate at the .Manhattan
headquarters of U.N. where talks are more un
observed than at or near Lake Success.
And the next day, a Polish or Ukrainian
delegate for dinner possibly mixing them with
some of the New York City officials in talk
about the headquarters building.
Guests who meet Lie in his own home, or at
a private dinner, find him a great surprise. He
is not the fence-sitting diplomat he seems to '
be in public. He talks with candor. He even
expresses vigorous opinions about such things
as "the dark combination of votes" that forced
through the internationalization of Jerusalem.
a
Lie said at the time that he had never seen
such a combination of Catholics, Communists
and Arabs which rammed through a decision
that he regarded as unworkable. He said he
decided this after having talked with the U. N.
military expert, Gen. William Riley, who, though
himself a Catholic, reported that it' would be
impossible to make Jerusalem international
without force.
Started As Office B6y
Now 53 years old, the Secretary-General of
the United Nations was bom in Oslo, the son
of a carpenter. His first job was as an office
boy in the headquarters of the Norwegian Labor
Party. At 16 he became president of a locai
labor branch, and at 23 he was one of the lead
ers of the party. At the' outbreak of the war,
Lie was Minister of Commerce in the Nor
wegian government and by February, 1941, was
appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, then in
exile in London.
' Lie's catapult into U.N. affairs came during
the San Francisco conference which founded
the United Nations, where he served as chair
man of the commission which drafted the char
ter of the Security Council.
At that time and since he has sometimes
sided against the United States and Great Brit
ain. In fact, during the early U.N. days, he was
nominated by Ambassador Gromyko to be the
first president of the General Assembly. . Now
his influence is, emphatically against his onetime
supporters.

The Saucer That Cheers
At the risk of being laughed
out of court and countenance,
I'd like to report that I've seen
Flying Saucers.
It happened on a . clear and
moon-minus night two summers
ago in Newton, Conn., on tne
lawn of the, hom,' belonging to
Paul Osborne, the playwright.
Among my fellow oglers were
Paul and his wife, Director Josli
Logan and his missus, and Au
thor John Hersey and his.
What's more, none of us was in
his cups the. night we watched
the flying saucery.
The show began about 10 p.m.
while we were sitting outdoors,
enjoying and shooting the
breeze, and the first thing we
noticed were several search
lights some miles away poking
their yellow fingers into the
sky. A few minutes later, three
bits of celestial chinaware skit
tered into view, and from then
until midnight4hey skipped and
scampered above our bewilder
ed heads.
As nearly- as I could judge,
these Whatzises were at least
200 feet in diameter and were
flying at an altitude of from
3.000 to 5,000 feet. Their edges
gave off ' a ghostly glow, very
much like, blue neon tubing
seen through a heavy fog.
When the searchlights finally
cut off and the discs got lost in
the stars, we put what was left
of our heads together and de
cided that what we liad wit- f
nessed must have been some
kind of hush-hush military ex
ercise. We also decided that, if
we didn't want a butterfly net
slipped over our heads, it would
be smart to keep our lips zipped
about the whole thing.
How come, then, that with my
bare face hanging out in print,
I'm spilling the story now?
Well, until recently the talk
about the persnickety pancakes
has been more 'loose than lucid ;
according to some writers,
they were manned by Martians
two inches tall; 'according to 6th
. ers, by Russians two droshkies
wide. Recently' however, docu
mentation has pegun to replace
delirium, and ifs becoming evi
dent that the : overgrown man-
i
hole covers art not only real,
but, despite al denials, one of
the top-secret jweapons of our
own Navy and Air Fore 2.
i
The most c'onvincing testi
mony was offered April 3rd by
Henry J. Taylor on a General
Motors broadcast over the ABC
network. Taylor, after treking
all around the country and talk
ing to peopled who had se-in,
touched and even flown these
credulity-cracking craft, made
the following flat and unfrivo
lous statements about them:
One type of saucer is the
"true" disc, which ranges any
where from 20 inches to 200
feet in diameter, is unmanned,
and generally guided by some -form
of remote control. The
other is a k jet-driven platter
which carries-' a crew and is cap
able of such supersonic speeds
that in flight it looks like a
hundred-foot flaming cigar.
Furthermore, according to
Henry J., a "true" disc was ac
tually photographed near Wild
wood, N. J.; another was found
in the vicinity of Galveston,
Texas, and stenciled on its sur
face was the following:
Military Secret of the
United States of America
Anyone damaging or revealing-
description or where
abouts of this missile is sub
ject to prosecution by the
United States Government.
Call Collect at once. (Then a
long distance telephone num
ber, and the address of a U. S.
Air Base, and finally the
words on the "saucer" in big,
black letters: Non-Explosive.)
"I know what these so-called
flying saucers are used for,"
Taylor concluded. "When the
story, for it is good news won
derful news."
Well, I don't know what the
saucers are for, but on the basis
of this and other reports plus
the evidence of my own bug
eyes I'm convinced they exist
and, praise the Lord and pass
the ammunition, are ours. Mos
cow papers please copy.
As you may remember, I
wrote a column last week about
the bureaucratic blabbermouths
in our nation's capital who, at
the drop of a daiquiri, blurt out
top military secrets to anyone
who will listen. Well, I'm plenty,
happy to learn that at least as
regards one vital weapon there
are some folks in Washington
who not only know their beans
but can keep from spilling them.
. The questionnaire asks if a girl
is glad she joined a sorority, if
the membership should be larger,
military authorities are ready to if there should be another soror
release the information it will ity on campus and if she belongs
be a joy to tell you the whole to a sorority.

I hope I may be permitted to protest two
recent instances of anti-Negro bigotry that have
appeared in your paper, and to comment m
these.
The first appeared in '-'Talk Away" on May 3.
To a question about "Gin Drinking Co-eds" v.
janitor in Everett is alleged to have answered:
"Do what? I'll try. Oh! Why, I don't think I
know what I think." The second instance ap
peared in a radio-telephone poll story on May 7,
in which one. of the persons called gave a reply
which allegedly began: "Law honey child," and
ended "I've just done plum forgot all about it."
I want to make clear from the start that I
have no objection to publication of Negro dia
lect per se. On the contrary, some of th'e most
stirring literature that has come out of America
(unfortunately suppressed in most schools) is in
Negro dialect, and to be appreciated, must be
written as such.
What I do object to is the presentation of Ne
groes -as stereotypes, slow, irresponsible, indo
lent, and inherently funny in mannerisms,
language, and appearance. This is the stereotype
developed by the white supremacists to justify
th'e oppression of the Negro people, and leads
inevitably to the slander that the Negro is either
undeserving of, or not interested in his full
freedom and citizenship, education, equal ac
cess to the professions, social equality, and so on.
While there are a few Negroes who deliberately
cater to the concept of the sterotype, and attempt
in this fashion to adjust to a Jim Crow society,
it is obvious, when one examines movements
like the recent gigantic Civil Rights Crusade
of the NAACP, that the overwhelming majority
of the Negro people reject this attitude, and have
adopted for motto: "Full citizenship NOW; noth
ing less will do."
In my opinion, there is no validity to the
answer that may well be given to my objection
to the two stories, '"After all, the people we
interviewed DID'say what we put down" (which .
I doubt, incidentally; your reporter was ob
viously very unfamiilar with Negro dialect, and
adhered to the white supremacist version rather
than to Negro dialect as sopken). Even if they
did, any editor, writer, or journalist cannot re
cord EVERYTHING; he exercises judgment in
selecting what is representative, and puts it in
. the proper context, so that the final work will
give a correct picture of the whole; he must
have a sense of responsibility for the. effect that
his writing will have. That is what is supposed
to distinguish the ethical journalist from the
Hearst hireling. Nothing is easier than to present
a thoroughly distorted picture without writing
anything strictly untrue.
To present a lazy and stupid Negro, a money
grabbing Jew, a dishonest Mexican, and so on,
as types of their respective national groups is
gross slander to the people from whose ranks
have risen Frederick Douglass, Einstein, and
Cardenas. Such slander feeds the flames of
1 racial and national chauvinism; it is irrespon
sible journalism, and I -hope that you will in
struct staff to desist.
Incidentally, if the reply your story attrib
uted to the Everett janitor is correct, it does
not present a very flattering picture of the in
habitants of Everett; apparently no one in that
dormitory has deemed it worth his while to
engage in conversation with the janitor except
to demand that he do one thing or another.
Let us understand that as part of the fight to
break down the color barrier, we must attempt
to make friends wih Negro people wherever pos
sible: we must take the initiative, to make out
Negro friends realize that they are not alcne in
their struggle for full citizenship. Let us under
stand that if we do so, it is to a large extent
to help ourselves, as the oppression of the Ne
gro people has held down the South and the na
tion as a whele; for example, our education
suffers because the state maintains three sep
arate school systems.
There should be more interracial activity on
the campus. I would suggest that student organ
izations and departments establish fraternal re
lations with their counterparts at N. C. College
and A. & T. College. For one thing, this wouH
be good preparation for the day soon to come
when Negro students will be admitted to the
University. For; another, it would make us stu
dents more aware of problems, aspirations and
struggles of the Negro people, and once and ff,!'
all wipe the stereotype concept of the Negro out
of those minds where it still is present. If such
fraternal relations were the general practi ?, in
stead of being limited to a few left-wing anci
religious groups, I am sure the two anti-Negro
articles would have brought forth a deluge of
protests. (You, Mr. Editor, could take the lead
by corresponding with the editors of :tudeni
newspapers at somo nearby Negro colleges, and
toning us about the activities there in youi
columns. (I for one would ladK' rlr without
lt - - o '
0 polls about Gin Drinking Co-eds, if ycu are won-
ifj dering where to take the space from.) Perhaps'
l the need for such material would become more
H glaring if you conducted a poll along the follow-
y ing lines: How many have any personal Negro
trierids How many , read the Carolina Tins
(The most popular Negro paper in the state?''
How many knew anything about the biography
of Harriet Tubman?)
n

I sincerely hope that some of these sugg'
tions will bear fruit, and that the fight ir
Negro liberation has not yet I completely becon
a casualty of the cold war on this campus.
