Bill Meade captured the To the Students and Faculty Of Penn State: A World War II combat veteran, wounded in action in Northern Italy, walked into a State College barber shop last Saturday afternoon and asked for a haircut. HE WAS REFUSED. The barber explained that, WHILE HE WAS NOT PERSONALLY OPPOSED TO CUTTING NEGROES’ HAIR, HE COULD NOT DO SO UNTIL THE OTHER BARBERS IN TOWN AGREED TO DO THE SAME. This is NOT the first time such an incident has occurred. Last year the State College Council on Racial Equality made several attempts to convince the barbers that they should make NO dis crimination against Negro customers, but the effort was in vain. Even with a petition signed by almost 2,000 local residents and students promising to patronize shops that permitted Negro patron age, the barbers STILL REFUSED.
