STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 21, 1949
Arnall to Give
Final Lecture
In Forum Series
Former Ga. Governor
To Talk on South
Ellis Arnall, former governor
of Georgia, will deliver the final
address in the five-lecture Com
munity Forum series in Schwab
Auditorium at 8 p.m. today. His
subject will be "The South
Today."
Arnall was governor of the
Peach State from 1943 to 1947
and is a leader among Southern
liberals.
He won the governorship in
1942 by defeating the late Eu
gene Talmadge in the Democratic
primaries and then going on to
win in the general election.
During his term of office, Gov
ernor Arnall sponsored a pro
gram which abolished the poll
tax in Georgia, made the state
financially solvent and lowered
the voting age to 18. He sparked
the nation-wide judicial case
against the railroads for discrimi
nating against the South in
freight rates.
Despite the inroads Arnall
made in the Talmadge machine,
red-gallused Eugene was able to
win the governorship again in
the 1946 election, and after his
death the position was taken by
his son, Herman Talmadge.

Congressional Bill
The committee votes unani
mously to support the bill in Con •
gress to eliminate racial segre
gation in the Washington, D.C.
educational system.
Introduced by Rep. Klein (D.,
N. Y.) this bill would eliminate
from the educational system,
businesses, and other public
services in the nation's capitol
discrimination and segregation on
the basis of race, creed, color, na
tional derivation or ancestry.
Rep. Klein pointed out that the
capitol of a democracy should set
an example for the nation. The
committee pledged the efforts of
its legislative program i.o the sup
port of those aspects of the bill
which would affect education.
Study Discrimination
In connection with its discus
sion of segregation and discrim
ination, the committee also voted
to recommend to its human rela
tions commission a study of the
problems of discrimination ►n
school systems, and that its area
committees recommend specific
programs for ,he elimination of
discrimination and segregation in
the educational community. The
289 NSA-member school:. were
asked to implement these pro
grams within the limitations i►n
posed by local conditions.
PRICE FIVE CENTS
Certain increases were pro
posed in amounts set aside for
various items, notably $lOOO in
stead of $420 for the school coun
cils, $3OOO instead of $2500 for
the Blue Band, and $5O more
added on to the previous $1205
earmarked for cash scholarships
awarded to class and All-College
officers.
Decrease
However, a decrease of $5O in
the $l5O printing and supplies
item and an estimated reduction
in cap and gown refunds amount
ing to a saving of $3OOO help
counterbalance further proposed
expenditures of $5OO for a student
government handbook, $250 for
orientation week, and a $lOO in
crement to Tribunal. The total'
budget for next year then
amounts to $11,825 after count
