Force Vs. Inertia
Old Isaac Newton must have been thinking about
human beings when he postulated his "inertia" law of
motion.
That "a body at rest tends to remain at rest" is con
vincingly verified daily by the continued denial of barber
service to our fellow students, just because of a matter of
skin pigment.
". . . unless acted upon by some external force." That's
where the rest of us are to blame; we who have the power
to exert that force, a force for good. Barbers, being busi
nessmen, are naturally and rightly concerned about their
profits.
Many businessmen perforce must operate in a manner
contrary to their own personal convictions. Until local bar
biers are shown conclusively that non-discrimination will
not hurt their profits, they will continue to discriminate.
If successful, CORE Days will furnish the evidence
that College and town citizens believe in equality and are
eager to destroy racial discrimination in local barber shops.
It is not a charity drive, the dollars pledged are not dona
tions, but investments in future service, and in democracy.
Primarily, it is not even the function of CORE Days to
raise money, but to guarantee patronage of any non-dis
criminatory barber shop. Each ticket sold represents one
sure customer.
Fortunately, Isaac went a little further, and came up
with a second law, "a body in motion tends to remain in
motion." Once the force is applied to start eliminating dia.
crimination, there should be no limit to the beneficial re
sults we could obtain, in other daily matters.
Our inertia can be overcome. Each loyal supporter,
each dollar, is an important force. But the inertia is strong,
so the combined force of all is required.
Inauguration
An important event is occurring on the campus today—
important enough to justify release of eleven o'clock classe s
five minutes early, by acting President Milholland.
The event of course is the inauguration of new student
government officers on the front steps of Old Main at 11:50
o'clock this morning.
Inaugtiration of officers is always one of the important
events in the life of an organization. At the College, inaugu
ration of student officers is especially important.
The ceremonies will be one of the few times that most
students will see their elected officers in an official capac
ity. The amount of student interest in their own elected
government is also an indication of student support. And
this support, as has been often pointed out, is the deter
mining factor in the success of Cabinet in carrying out its
programs.
Over 1000 students voted William Lawless, All-College
nresident-elect, into office. That many, at least, should be
interested enough to see him take office.
The rest of the student body should be interested in
meeting the officers who will guide the affairs of the stu
dent body in the coming year.
Your leaders will be inaugurated today. Tt is to your
interest to be present at the event. —Elliot Shapiro
