Dear Mr. Kishbaugh: In the last edition of The Hiahacres Collegign.,you wrote an article that was titled ’’Racial Prejudiced Essentially, it dealt with the problem of the Negro. I would like to give yof My evaluation of this problem com parable to some of yotar comments. ’’Today's Negro papulation, on the whole, is no better off than when they were slaves." This is taken from the core of your subject matter. The basis for that statement is exist ant.. We are not, still fighting over the racial issue. The Negro race is progressing par-excellence. In the North and in the West, the Negro enjops privileges denied other Caucasian nationalities. In only one geographic location, the deep South,is segregation an issue. And not without good reason. These white southerners are born with an innate discomfort for the Negro. The Negor is born with an innate discomfort for the white. Only with the element of time and understanding will man be able to live in homogeneity there. You say, "Cities are marked off with in visible lines." I say there are not invisible lines, but natural lines. Would you consent to your daughter or son marrying a Negro? Do you see no environmental error in this? This may all come about with time, but it must be dome in moderation. In a region where we have no Negro problem we too often use a Utopian method for the solution of this problem. We fail to empathize with the southern white; we fail to recognize that most Negros are not educated. There are many, as there are whites, who are not pro ficeint in their work. Certainly we must correct this conditioh,* but... it must be done slowly: integration with moderation. As an answer to this student's letter, would like to thank him for his interest what goes on at this Campus. You are one the few students who take issue with what on and tries to improve the situations by constructive criticism. Too many of the students here at Highacres are apathetic to the events and circumstances that we students find ourselves from day to day. I hope that in the future all the students will support and take interest in all the activities and affairs that are connected Letter to the Editor Editors Comment with the indifferi Vol. 26 Co-sditors Paul Miller Kishbaugh Business Manager Rosema Circulation Manager Fre Reporters Lois Lombardo, Krutsick, Jim Jay Birt, and Photographers William 31 Steve Clar Typists Robert Zelnick, and Sally Switaj of of does Hazleft’on Campus; and ' nc and clique associa No. 9
