State College-Clafin "battle” with the woU-armed Palmetto State Troopers, Orangeburg po lice department and National Guard was a decisive defeat for the belligerent students hint on redressing ancied wrongs with bricks, rocks and alleged guns. It seems the students did not do a good job of ap praising their opposition. This column has several times warned our Negro youths against any false assumption that they could win in such an encounter either with legal authority or the ultra - segre gationists who will be identi fied with the many hooded so cieties who are just itching to get a good excuse to shoot Ne groes, and, or terrorize them. But too many Negro youths think they are being brave to stick their heads in a cluxer’s den and be called a hero if they don't get hurt. Discretion is still the better part of valor, as well as hon esty still being the best poli cy - progress of the dishonest notwithstanding. To be sure the white officers were at fault as well as the Negroes. But could you expect anything else from pale-faced authority from the locale of the beginning of the 1954 NAACP for complete integration? Certainly not. The leopard hasn’t changed that much - yet.’ We ar i sorry for our college students if their mastery of their subject mat ter is as far off as their judg ment about attacking rifles and machine guns bare-handed or otherwise. When I had a run in at a Quaker City police sta - tion many years ago for a sus pected auto license infraction which soon proved to be‘faise.l read a sign which said: "There are 1765 officers against you you CAN’T WIN." Taat’s tne odds against the civil righters want to fight physically instead of with their brains; by getting Negroes and other non~wiib.es to band together and register and vote and join the NAACP and take the legal way in get ting our rights. Everyone will benefit much mo-e and gi\e us nr re credit. Judge Thurgood did NOT get where he is by throwing bricks and rocks and setting fires, un less, of course, you want to say he threw legal bricks and sot legal fires of law under his op ponents In winning out free dom. It is now up to us to implement him through intelli gence, common senoe the best of legal and ethical practices. The boys at A& i college, Greensboro, led by the now famous Rev. Jesse Jackson, won their sit-ins through peace ful demqnstra'.i >us ratner than by setting grass and old buflef ings afire and intimidating the policemen. And to lose more Negroes as Rap Brown propos es, according to the press re ports) is foolish indeed. That, would foe suicidal to lead youths . j- • t M BV f fspllL %*■■■'' sSBBSffIT .J? .gags# TRANSPORTATION RECRUITERS -- Three North Carolina College stu dents are wooed by competing transportation company recruiters as in dustry continues its search for top students.
