Aging is often thought to add
mellowness to such as wines,
cheeses and universities. People
are swayed by an age-old -and,
likewise, outmoded idea that
time lends distinction to a school
and that the amount of ivy on
the side of a building is the "
major criterion in judging the
worth of the school.
Of course, not all of this is
meant to detract from the ele
gance of time clinging to the
walls at some of our older uni-v
versities. There may be good
and obvious reasons for their
holding their heads above the
neophytes. They have been here
longer and, as a result, have
naturally amassed- more wealth
from loyal alumni and have also
been able to call at random any
reputable instructor to join the
already ivy-covered faculty.
It is a shame that the teaching
staff must conform with the
ancient mores established by an
individual who was blessed with
with the virtue of money and
the urge to - give lessons in the -three
R's to pioneers children.
This is all somewhat exagger- .
ated to illustrate a point. Old
universities are fine, but their
buildings are the only aspect
which should be allowed to
grow old. Ideas and progress
with the times must be main
tained. We have all seen how
some' schools are living today
off of yesterday's laurels. Not
only is their worth grossly over
stated in many instances, but as
time goes on they continue to
gather more crowns for their
swelling heads.
We have the other extreme
too, but the only way to judge
a radical is to place him beside
his more platitudinous brother
and note that his activity is
greater. We cannot tell whether
all this activity is good or not,
but it is. valuable activity, none
theless and shows that some
thinking processes . are being
done. New schools of thought
are always difficult to accept
and we usually feel that they
must stand Vthe test of time"
before we practice them.
One way or the other, before
we hail our heritage or before
we bemoan the fact that our his
torical background is not so long

Reviews And
Tonight at 7 in Memorial Hall
the Y.M.C.A. and Hillel are pre
senting a free showing of
"Pinky", one- of the- most
thought-provoking films that
Hollywood has produced in the
past few years. Jeanne Crain
stars in the title role and is
supported, by Ethel Waters as
Pinky 's granny, Ethel Barry
more and William Lundigan.
This film was not the first to
treat the controversial subject of
racial prejudice; but it was the
first movie to bring the prob
lem home to the core of the-deep
South where Jim Crowism and

look around, us and see just

really surpassed any of our
neighbors, have they passed us,

, Racial Prejudice
Previews
White supremacy are most ram
pant. The story concerns a young
nurse, a girl with white skin
but Negro blood, who returns
to her home in Mississippi after
being raised and schooled in the
North. The picture assembles
illustrations of the cruel humilia
tions and abuse such as poor
housing and the ignominy of
police maltreatment to which
the girl is subjected.
The film has been critici2ed
for its observation of Negroes, as
well as whites, which is largely
limited to types that are nowa
days far from average. The
whites presented are- those of
the older generation as Miss
Em. The only Negroes portrayed
outside of Pinky and her granny
are a scheming rascal and a

jective of the film; We neitner
, j i
deny nor condone racial pre-
judice; we simply have tried to
dramatize its effect on a
girl
who might be anyone's daughter,
sister, or sweetheart. We have
championed no glib solution to
the problem. We have tried only
to present it fairly and realistic
ally. We hope that each member
of the audience will be moved
to seek a solution of his own.
If he finds it in his heart, our
venture will have been, a suc-
cess.
Don't miss the showing of
this film tonight. Dr. N. J. Deme
rath of the Sociology department
will lead a discussion of the
film after its presentation. ,
