Riemer Outlines Report
On Civil Rights Laws
Dr. Neal Riemer, instructor in
political science, outlined both
ides of the case for and against
Civil rights legislation before
Wednesday night's meeting of the
National Association for. the Ad
vancement of -Colored People
Dr. Riemer stated some of the
arguments against civil rights leg
islation in his lecture "Report of
the President's Committee on
Civil Rights." He also listed a
number of reasons for the neces
sity of such legislation.
Some of the arguments against
it• are that legislation is uncalled
for in the face of progress being '
made, it seeks to abolish deep
rooted feelings, it will destroy
certain other civil rights, it is an
unconstitutional violation of
state's rights, it would damage
local responsibility, and the be
lief that alternate proposals are
better.
In reply to- this Dr. Riemer
stated that the President's com
mittee found legislation necessary
because civil rights are still be
ing violated, the purpose is to in
sure constitutional rights and not
to effect sociological changes, such
a program would destroy no more
rights than other legislation" such
as the Taft-Hartley Act, civil
rights have a constitutional basis.
On the charge of eroding local
responsibility, Dr. Riemer said
that the same cry was raised

dent directory have been ordered

The original order of 3,800 cop
