Progress
Panel Says
By JIM KOPP
is still a long way to go, citing
the immediate area and the
country at large.
In a discussion period, a mem
ber of the audience charged that
Negro students have a hard time
finding downtown rooms. The
usual reply of landlords is, “Sor
ry, we’re all filled up now,” he
said.
Another member of the audi
ence mentioned that cards in the
Dean of Men’s Office listing
rooms for rent are often labeled
“no negroes,” or “no foreign stu
dents.”
Girl Refused Teaching
It was also reported to the
panel that a Negro girl majoring
in French and who had expected
to start her student-teacher, tour
next semester was told that she
could not teach in the school she
had been assigned to because her
master teacher refused to accept
her.
One of the panel members, a
Negro, said he had been refused
service by a State College bar
ber at the end of last semester.
These charges were made on
the floor of the meeting and were
not actually substantiated.
Bernard Gives Reasons
Dr. Jessie Barnard, professor of
sociology, gave some of the rea
sons for resistance to integration.
She called rationalizations such
fears as “the mongrelization of
the white race,” and the fear of
high rate of venereal disease
among Negroes.
“The people who resent most
bitterly the advancement of col
ored people," she said, “are the
lower classes, such-as custodians,
who fear they have the most to
lose.”
They are afraid it will mean
more competition for their jobs,
she said.
Integration in the schools is
opposed because Negro children
are retarded several years behind
the white children because of the
poor schooling they have re
ceived, she said.
Members of the panel were
Lester Alston, senior in psychol
ogy from Pottsville; Stanley
Greenblatt, senior in psychology
from Philadelphia; Leon Cooper,
senior in arts and letters from
Savannah, Ga.; and Matthew
Robinson, sophomore in arts and
letters from Philadelphia. 1
