VIEW FROM THE HILL: Segregation III: Myth Of Equal Ed Facilities Curtis Gans There is a clause in the' pre amble of the U. S. Constitution which sets forth as one of the objects of American government, the promoting of 'the general welfare of the people of the United States. Herein lies the inherent in equality of segregation in schools, no matter how equal the quality of education in separate schools. One of the things that educa tion is supposed to do, besides give the student knowledge of certain facts and fundamentals, is to bridge the gap between th? lack of understanding between people. The net result of th's is to enable people to deal more capably, more fairly, and more humanely with one another. This gap of misunderstanding cannot be bridged by any se paration between peoples of dif ferent races, creeds, religions, or cultures. Yet, if integration is to take place, the white children must not sacrifice their standard of education to make this possible, for the protection of individual rights includes the protection of the rights of the majority. The sacrifices of any rights to the higher education standards that the whites now posses in the South in order to provide a com mon denominator is antithetical to democracy. Then one must reconcile the current failure in Washington schools with the ideal of equality of education. The Washington case is a .standard example of the argu ment many southerners and some northerners use in support of separate facilities for education. In Washington .since the educational standard has gone down, and since that year of in tegration of all public schools in Washington, the incidence of delinquency has gone up. However, the cause for this i eWar. The e-olored hiuh school in the south is. by evidence of sev eral surveys, as much as four years behind the standards of th? average white school. Hence, when the children who have been in colored schools go to ia-te-r.ited schools, they are as much as four years behind and drag the level of education down. It rnut be clear that even in rudimentary fundamental-, the southern school for colored children is unequal. Certain states, such as North Carolina, have taken steps to .,:v. the colored children excel lent facilities, but facilities are but a hollow shell, when ex perienced educators are lacking. It is a vicious circle that de velops. The children lo to schools that are inferior in edu cational standards; they come out ill equipped for college work Moreover, in the South and in some places in the North, the colored high school graduate is barred from going to superior public institutions by the color line. Hence, they are forced to settle for colored colleges and universities, which are taught bv men who are products of the same inferior high school and primary education and have n il been able to get a superior edu cation in college. They come out of the colleges poorly equipped to teach the L'lL ABNER Sunshine high school and grammar grades and hence the . upcoming chil dren get the. same poor qual ity brand of education. The cry is then raised, "Why don't they get it themselves?" But, a child is not born to think and penetrate into complex problems. He is not bv birth given impetus to do intensive research. This type of stimula tion is not inborn, and it has to be fostered. It can be fostered by the right type of teachers. But if teachers, are not equip ped, as today, the colored chil dren will continue to be unable to pursue their intellectual cap abilities to capacity performance. It should be clear from this that integration in all grades is, at this time, not only foolhardy but in a sense anti-democratic. It should be clear also that some thing must be done to integrate schools. To reach this go a program of gradual integration is neces sary. Colleges and universities that are not privately endowed should b? made open to mem bers of both "races." so that teachers of high caliber can be available to society. The grain mar grades should be. a.s sug gested by many, integrated at the first grade first, where few educational differences exist. Then, the next year these stu dents progress to the second grade and a new group of stu dents both white and colored enter the first grade, and the process should continue until all grades are integrated. The process will take twelve years. The results should be worth the effort. It is only through education as a beginning that equality of opportunity can begin to exist in American society. It is only through education that mutual understanding and good will can become a reality. It is only through equality of education that equality under the law can be a fact as well as a statement. WISE AND OTHERWISE: Lewd And Lascivious? Or Puritanical Prowess CAROLINA CARROUSEL: Carolina Coeds: Real Reception . . Gail Godwin The other day, as my rMrnrriate and I were starting out to supper, a little,' old wrinkly lady dressed in black asked us to ' help her across the street. She was standing in front of Alderman look ing very bewildered as all thee; new-fangled auto mobiles whizzed by. After we had been good boy' scouts and gotten her safely across at the entrance of the Arboretum, she turned her beaming old face tip to us and an nounced: . " ' "Maybe you girls would be interested to fcnow that you have helped the first girl graduate of Caro lina across the street!" : We slowed our pace down to hers and walked slowly through the Arboretum:' "You know," she said as she hobbled along cn her cane, "I can't walk very well, but I like to and so I walk miles and miles if I feel like it." She told us about how she loaned her cap and gown to members of her family down through the years. It seems one snooty little grand-nephew had turned up his nose because it had a hole in it. "I said, 'listen here, young whimpersnapper, you ought to be proud to wear that gown holes or no holes.' That's what I told him," she said. Her first name was Alice and' she graduated at the turn of the century. "I could tell some of the boys resented having a girl in their class, but that didn't bother me." That's a coed for you. She's got spunk from the day she becomes a coed til the day she dies. I cer tainly hope that when I get as old as Miss Alice is, that I still have that same determined, happy-go-lucky outlook. I wonder, when I come back visiting in 2.000 A.D., if some polite little coeds will help me across the highway so that I won't get run over by thoe new-fangled flying automobiles. ERIC THE RED: Whit Whitfield The future of downtown maga zine stands, may hinge on the deci sions of the local sheriff. Such favorites :s Adam, Cabaret. Caper, Confidential. Dude, Escapade, Clamor 'photography. Pix Annual. Playboy, Nugget. Scamp. Sir and Whisper (to name a few. are among the list of some 51 publications that are labeled as "objectionable" by the North Carolina Sheriffs? ; AssocuAion. Com iie books have not escaped the lofig armxof the law either. Batman, The Durango Kid. Crime and Iunishment. Exotic Romance, War. Love Problems, Straight Ar row ynd T-Man. as well as many other favorities. are included among the "lewd 50." Tfie state law defines obscene liter ature as any thing which." if considered as a whole its predom inant appeal is to the prurient Note: Webster defines prurient a.s "inclined to or characteried by las civious thought."' interest, or if ili goes substantially beyond cus tomary limits ef candor in descrip tion or presentation of such matter Ci. e. nudity or sex. ) The Puritan drive is in full force fin Buncombe county, and is just -beginning in Durham County. Loose interpretation of the law will outlaw most any magazine, and who do we have making the arbitrary decisions? County sher-iffs-mostly old men with old ideas, elected year after year with the support of old men with old ideas. It would seem to us that a Board of Censors appointed by the gover nor with the aid of the state Attor- ney-General could do a better job. if indeed it must be done. We will probably see more ' Dook stoodents" at our local newstands in the near future. Busi ness looks better for a few down town merchants, but how long will it be before the wave of Puritanic ism hits Orange County and 1 Chapel Hill? Maybe it never will, and maybe it will be next week. Who' knows, but the sheriff? It might be a good idea if the connoisseurs of these lewd and ob jectionable magazines send for subscriptions now and avoid the rush. If you wait, possibly the only magazines you will get be sides the Womens Home Com panion and Better Homes and Gardens, will be what you caa buy undercover at blackmarket prices. Think it over. A great many people who were not fortunate enough to catch the Asian Flu during the recent epi demic are going all over the state in an effort to contract the disease. They don't have anything to talk about when the hypochondriacs meet bi-weekly. QUICK CURE A sad looking character" was shown into the office of a promi nent psychiatrist. 'Tve lost all desire to go on, Doctor. Life has become too hectic, too confused." "Yes," said the doctor, cluck ing sympathetically. "I under stand. We all have our problems. You'll need a year or two of treatments at $50 a week." There was a pause. "Well, that solves your problem, Doc. Now what about mine?" N. C.

Hell s Kitchen (k Lost Liberty Harry Kirschner My fortfathers helped to settlt this country. It was back in th days before immigrants had to bt sano and littrat that they came over. Family leg end has it that they crossed on the famous ship. Garbage Scow, with other pilgrims from Andorra, and.se are classed in the select group which is re sponsible 'or the growth of many of our most re vered train robbers. . My forefathers had faith. They started out un der the most severe conditions of hardship in a colony of New York known as Hell's Kitchen. Tribes of aborigines, called Street Gangs, were a constant menace. The icy wind of winter froze them in their alleyway homes. The suffocating heat of summer left them stricken on the sizzling sidewalks. Many died that first year. Nothing deterred the pilgrims, however. They built push carts and began pushing them. At first the danger from the Street Gangs was so great Out they had to carry muskets with them wherever they peddled. But they gradually overcame their obstacles to success, and even began pushing their carts into the wilds of Greenwich Village. At the end of a few years, a thriving push-cart trade had been established. The home government of the Empire State took cognizance of the fact and designed to tax every push cart as a means of rev enue. The tax was to be levied by requiring ped dlers to buy tax stamps and affix them to their push carts. My forefathers refused, and a revolu tion insued in which the Empire infamously used its Blue Coats in an attempt to suppress liberty. The pilgrims had come here and made a go cf it When the time came that they were persecuted they banded together and won their liberty. They had grown strong working as a unit, and their phil osophy was crystalized. They wrote their beliefs of liberty on the sides of their push carts, and paraded them about for all the world to see. A century and a half later, a new group of push carters arose in the Bowery. They had only one push cart. It was very big. its volume being almost that of all the Hell's Kitchen push carts combined. All the Bowery push carreers helped to push their cart together, in one i organized . mob, down the street. , o.;J Intense friction -deyejqped between the two groups. The Hell's Kitchen people with their mod ern, swept-winged ptfsHraftS hated the Bowery's crude, brutish cart. They, i)Kimed that they might be overtaken by BoweryfsjtsVworking from within, and be made to push one-Jiuge cart together. i The beliefs that had bebtf faithfully recorded in Hell's Kitchen after the-Pwsh-eart Revolution were preserved, but they began to be misinterpreted. In stead of maintaining freedom',' it began to be des troyed. Anyone who wUs4ound to have even seen the Bowery push cart tnindlrhg down the street was called, "a fellow traveler!: Conformity in Hell's Kitchen became mandatory. It was no longer right for a peddler to grease the wheels of his cart in a different way even though his right to do so was inscribed on the side of every cart. Hell's Kitchen said it was afraid of losing its freedom. It could, not have really been afraid of that, because in defending itself it restricted its freedom. Perhaps it was truly afraid that the Bow ery woidd sell more things to more people from its huge cart.
