U.S. Has Split
Perionality,
Reid Declares
BY JOHN'pALBOR
"American culture has" devel
oped a schizoid personality,",
dared Dr. Ira DeA. Reid last
night in the fourth Community
Forum series lecture in Schwab
Auditorium.
Being black in a culture or
society frequently requires a
dual 'or, split role—that of being
loyal to .one's own particular' mi
nority or sub-group' and that of
beipg loyal to society or culture
as whole, Dr. Reid stated.
Di; Reid:spoke on "The Arne
eriban Race System: DemocraCy's
Dilemma." In addition to being
author of several books On the•
Negro question in America, Dr.
Reid is an eminent sociologist.
He is at present professor of
sociology at, JHaverford College.
Dr. Reid cited • "referential

points" in which .he explained
typical problems and attitudes
that have involved the race
question in the past. He mention
ed two major movements of the
past century—abolition and sla
very.
'Explains 'Movements
• Several main movements con
cerning the' Negro in America
were explained by Dr. Reid. The
first was the T4skegee Idea, in-,
troduced by the famous Booker
T. Washington. This plan was,to
train Negroes to work with their
hands and to prepare for the
thankless employment that Ne
groes are so often•forced to take.
' However, according to Dr.
Reid,, this•plan still, kept Negroes
in their low economic status: •'A
movement was then started to

Eisenhower Replies ..., .
'Milton • S. Eisenhower,.president-elect of the •College, has
answered the radio message sent to him by • the College amateur
radio station, W3YA. His return statement was received last night
by W3YA and was transmitted by WOSJPI a Kansas State amateur
station. It , follows:
To: All Students and Student Organizations at The Penn
sylvania State College. •
I acknowledge with enthusiastic thanks receipt of, your
generois message which has just 'reached me by amateur
short wave radio. In all candor, I must say I am overwhelmed
by your kindness and intrigued by your. ingenuity. It is clear
to me that it is going to be downright fun to work with such
resourceful students. - •
If initially I had any reservation in my mind about the
wisdom of moving from Kansas State to Penn State, it was
that one who was long been accustomed to the pioneer spirit,
the relaxed friendliness 'of the midwest, might find himself
a 'stranger, temporarily at least, midst the more conservative
demeanor and traditions of Pennsylvania. Your message,
along with hundreds of greetings from) the faculty, alumni,
and friends of the College, have happily convinced me that
my judgment on this was faulty.
You are proud of Penn State history and accomplish
ments. I am immensely \ proud to have been elected to the
presidency of your institution. Our task together is going . to
be an exciting one. Students, faculty, administrators, trus
tees, alumni, and citizens generally will cooperate in contin
uing to build toward well-defined, even-higher goals. To
gether, we shall reach for the stars.
Very shortly I shall visit the campus. Perhaps it will be
my good fortune to meet many of the seniors .who will com
plete their work before I assume my responsibilities on
July 1. I hope so. We might have that milkshake together=
but please, a literal one!
Again my thanks to all, you and the operators of WOSJP
and W3YA for transmitting of messages.
Sincerely, .
Milton S. Eisenhower
