Inter-racial Fellowship House
Presents Democratic Living
The Fellowship House, Fairmount. and Locust Lane, is a unique experience in truly
democratic living. The house was organized during the summer semester, on a cooperative
basis as an international and inter-racial tlormitory for men students.
There are only two or three inter-racial houses affiliated with a college in this coun
try, and they are organized on a financial basis. At Cornell University there is an inter
.national house called the Cosmopolitan Club. The University of Nebraska has a house for
Japanese-American women students against
has been' discrimination.
Aims To Promote Fellowship
The purpose of the house, as
outlined in the constitution drawn
up by the members, is to stimulate
a feeling of fellowship among all
people, regardless of race, color,
or nationality. They also wish to
give a home to men.students who
have trouble ' getting rooms be
cause of these factors. The house
‘is wholeheartedly aticlaimed by
its 23 members as haying success
fully' fulfilled its purpose.- \
George Hunter, president of
the house, was an undergraduate
student at Lincoln College, taught
at Hampton institute, and is how
working on .his doctor’s degree in
the field of bio-chemistry. He
and "his wife haveT an. -apartment,
in Btous.p and
chap.erope social' eyeflts given
there.. ,
Hunter, in speaking of the Fel
lo-wship House’, said, “With the
. returning veteran','’ our, organiza
tion. y/ill grow.'rather than’ fail;
because .of lack of members.. The
veferan has fought for the'very
ideals. ; which-we-uphold here to
day, and for the, same equality a
mo’hg'ail people. ;
students ■ returning from
many, parts of the world after
combat. experiences, new patterns
and new social attitudes will have
been developed. As proof of* this
there have been over 50' aPPlica;*
tipnS' for... membership for, the
spring term.”'
.High School Teacher's Influence!
l/Martin; Alperin, vice-president,
says, that his high school' English
teacher in Long- Branch, N. .J;,
influenced his /beliefs in inter
racial-relationships- She,taught
that tolerance is v hot enough, that
all’people should learn to live and
work .together. Alperip feels that
,the House" fulfills this
ideal,'.andi.that' it' is' a great thing

People don’t start on a journey

Yet every morning students skip
their (breakfasts. ‘ Included in the
program should be exercise and
sports and a ■ reasonable .amount
of social activity.”
This feeling, of fatigue is cum

may finally result .to neuresthe

students find exams are here,”
said Dr. Ritenour. The result is

plans for the big weekend of Feb
ruary 8-9. A reception is schedul

Hunter has received notice that

be necessary for them to find a
new house. In the event that the
house is broken up temporarily,
they wish to stick together as an
organization.
