PAGE FOJ Editorial Opinion A Week, the Trouble Since th:s is Brutherhood Week, much will be written and spoken about brotherhood. This ;s a week set aside for Americans to hold brotherilood in high esteem. This is fine. But herein lies the trouble too. Why must ?►mericans wait until Brotherhood Week to talk up brotherhood? Probabiy there will be a brotherhood celebration this week in Little Rock, Ark. And it's entirely possible that some of the same people who last September were stand ing in front of Central High School yelling "Nigger" will be marking Brotherhood Week. And there will undoubt edly be others in Little Rock who failed to speak up for brothernood last September IS 4 140 NOM Me 41107MINCIOD who will he going to a bro therbood banquet this week. It wouldn't even surprise us if Gov. Orval Faubus at tended a brotherhood ban quet. And the Rer. James Cole. leader of the Klu Klux 'Klan in South Carolina. possibly may even preach on the meaning of brother hood this week. Cole. you wi li remember. was the leader of the Klansmen the Indians gave a rough time. The Little Rock incident undoubtedly is :he biggest dark spot • in the year since Arnerir.:;.ar.s last celebrated Brotherhood Week. But there were bright spots too, and the most significant of these, of course. was the approval of the first major civil rights legislation by Congress since the Civil War days. And lust yesterday a bipartisan group of 16 Senators-10 Northern Democrats and 6 North ern Republicans—introduced a new civil rights bill. Despite the unfortunate incident at Little Rock's Cen tral High School, all has not been bleak since America last celebrated Brotherhood Week. However, we can't help wondering how much brighter'the past year would have been if every American had practiced true brotherhood even- day of the year. Dirty Politics? Some students and administration members may be bere Sunday :::ght's mass meeting of University Party was a blatant at:empt at sabotage, a field day for politicos who play politics for their own enjoyment—or just plain dirty politics. Ws don't think so. From where we sat. Sunday night's meeting ;was a dramatic re-enactment of the American political process. The meeting saw University Party puts it's first big test—keeping control of its own organisation. It also saw an indicatior. that Lion Party members are still very rr..uch alive and interested n politics—al though they failed to rase over the organization of what: would appear to be art outgrowth of Lion Party. In any case. we believe Sunday's meeting was a fore runner to a bang-up cam_naign—no matter how many parties are involved.

PENNSYLVANIA Safety Valve Crosses Burn On Campuses TO THE EDITOR: The following— excerpt is from a letter sent to me by a friend stationed with the Army in Fort Jackson, S.C. On a visit to a southern college cam pus he witnessed this illustration of what happenc when bigotry undermines not only American education and its purpose, but the basic foundation and the demo cratic' principles upon which our nation is constructed: "It took plice in the middle of a college campus. traditionally the generic home of young liber alism_ But there was a difference this time. The campus was in a state that is a haven for bigotry. It was the University of South Carolina._ - Whoever started the action wed it perfectly. The coffee shop was jammed. It was a jam that all too nearly turned info a mob a few minutes later as word circulated quickly that 'they're burning a cross outside: let's go see the fun'. In less than five minutes the shop was empty. got outside just as the cam pus police were pushing the burn ing pieces of wood to the ground on the square outside the Union. amidst a curious mixture of first cheers, then loud boos. Then the group comments started. 'At first they were supposed to be funny—such shouts as 1..4.- 6.8. we don't wanna integrate', were given reply with._"2. 4: 6,8, we ain't gonna integrate'. But on the heels of these mixed cries came a chorus of a different kind, and the ugly snowball of mob psychology was on its way. To hell with all the niggers: Send 'ern all back -to Africa! We don't want them or the G.. D.. NAACP either. Now git!' These, believe me, were among the milder in vectives. "Luckily, the police knew what to do, and as the nightsticks came out, the mob went back in. laughing now as if nothing at all had happened.

You can rule out the Ku Klux Klan and the various white citizens council& The action was too closely timed with the gathering, inside_ Per haps it was a group of misguided students acting spontaneously, or perhaps an organized group on campus. Perhaps it was any of a number of combinations of the young adults, but the point is_ this: the burning took place on a college - mmpus, in a country which prides itself in its demo cratic piinciples. It would seem that four years of college is far too brief a time in whirls -- to undo 17 or 18 years of environmental training in bi gotry.

Dandruff Bothers Them WASHLNGTON, Feb. 10 (11 3 )-And now, another blow to our hard-pressed congressmen and government offi cials_ A survey shows their line of work leads directly to dandruff. The announcement comes from the Curtis Dandruff Treatment Council, which says it's a nonprofit organization set up to study such things. The council found: •That dandruff is worse in winter than in summer. •That city piople have more dandruff than 'country people, and that New York and Chi cago are the most dandruffy of all. •That men have more dan druff than women, and that pregnant women don't seem to have dandruff at all. • That around 70 per cent of the population has some dan druff. • That if your shoulders are cluttervd with the stuff, it's a tipoff that you're in a worry kig kind of a job. - We've long suspected that dandruff is closely related to emotional stress. - the CDTC said. "Our study confirms IL" So 95 per cent of all big shot executives, and their junior executives,in advertising, pub lic relations, radio and tele vion have' dandruff trouble. The CDTC didn't say so. but they work up a fright ful head of dandruff while fret ting about their ulcers, and vice versa. In the second place are mo tion picture people and. alas: the newspapermen. But coming up strong on the inside rail, and threatening to take over first as their prob lems stack up from here to outer space, are government officals, with 83 per cent. a.INLAAIMIIIIMMI Ps 0. ii ii ..., 7 .- 'l.l , -; 1.. ii , k,.-___ _ - TUESDAY. FEBRUARY' 11, 1958 By ARTHUR EDSON Well, the CDTC may have something here. • Anyone who ever has sat in the gallery and looked down on Congress has realized that dan druff is an untidy sight. But whether congressmerr : will ._pay much heed to the cure is something else again. The CDTC is sporisored by the shampoo and hair tonic in dustry•, and naturally the hope is that each of us will hurry in and lather our locks. But the politician can be crafty, shrews, able to turn . weakness into strength. Won't the politician of the future. fortified with the study, point to his dandruff as proof he's worrying his head for his constituents? A final note: The govern ment man has had this prob lem for a long time. The CDTC triumphantly passes along a historical nugget that Julius Caesar had dandruff.
