AVC Demands
Voting Holiday
The American Veterans Com
mittee has begun circulation of a
petition asking the College Senate
and the acting president of the
College to declare November 2 a
holiday so students may go home
to vote in the presidential elec
tions.
However, the next regular
meeting of the Senate is not
scheduled until November 4—two
days after the elections. The
Senate last week ruled not to set
the day aside as a holiday but to
allow voting studens to be ex
cused from their classes election
day.
Against Excuse System
The AVC, deciding on its move
at a meeting Tuesday night, also
believes that the excuse system
should be abolished, a spokesman
said. A student missing classes is
required to present to his instruc
tors an excuse signed by the
judge of elections in his voting
district.
_ The petition, which may be
signed at the Student Union desk,
states that “the College should
grant to its students the unob
struted opportunity” to vote,
Officers
At Tuesday’s meeting, these
new officers were elected: Corbin
Kidder, chairman; Martin Light,
vice-chairman; Larry Rothstein,
treasurer; Earnest Millard, his
torian. Kidder and Rothstein
were named delegates to the state
AVC convention the weekend of
November 6, and Kidder, former
Chairman Leo Troy and' Melvin
Kheinsky were named delegates
to the national convention
Thanksgiving weekend.

J. Paul Sheedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil
Because He Flunked The Finger Nail Test

Roll Along Through Night
We’d roll along through the
night, our destination the Negro
section of a town perhaps 200
miles away, and for hours I’d
listen while he recited long pas
sages from Macbeth and Hamlet,
Ingersoll’s essay on Napoleon—
nage after page from the best in
English literature. All his life he
has fought against the oppression,
the injustice and the discrimina
tion weighing on his people. But
there is no bitterness, no hatred
in the man. To him, his “South
land,” as he always calls it, is the
fairest country in the land. He
loves his Georgia above all other
states—he would live nowhere
else in America.
In four weeks and 4,000 miles of
travel we met and talked with
the Negro leaders of the South. If
in four weeks any one can get the
actual picture of the life of the
Negro in the South—then I got it.
Because that friend of Walter
White showed it to me.
One last word as I begin this
account of my four weeks of life
as a Negro in the deep South.
Don’t anvbodv try to tell me that
the North discriminates against
the Negro, too, and seek to use
that as a defense against the sav
age oppression and the brutal in
tolerance the black man encoun
ters in the South. Discrimination
against the Negro in the North is
an annoyance and an injustice. In
the South it is bloodstained trag
edy.
In the North the Negro meets
with rebuff and insult when he
seeks service at hotels and res
taurants. But, at least in states
like Pennsylvania and others, he
can take his case to court and he
invariably wins.
Children Denied Education
But in the South he is barred
BY LAW from white hotels and
restaurants. He is fined and jail
ed, and frequently killed, if he
seeks to enter a railroad station
through an entrance reserved for
whites, to ride in the forward end
of a street car or bus, or a railway
coach sacred to the white man.
His children are barred from
white schools and denied an ade
quate education in the tumble
down shacks in which little black
citizens are forced to reek learn
ing.
No Northern white can deny
that there is discrimination

against the Negro in the North.
Prejudice against the black citi
zen breaks out in race riots from
time to time, as witness Detroit in
recent years, and Chicago and
Springfield, 111., in an earlier day.
But in the North both black and
white rioters go to prison. In the
South only the black ones climb
the steps to a gallows or serve
term in a cell.
In short, discrimination against
the Negro in the North is usually
in defiance of the law. In thQ
.South it is enforced and maiiw
tained by the law.
