Panel on Integration
Features Professors
A renaissance of African culture may be the way to
hasten the rate of Negro-white integration, Dr. Roy C. Buck,
associate professor of rural sociology, said Monday night.
Buck explained that the Negro has raised the white man's
resentment as a "taker" of white culture
African culture such as sculp
ture, he said, should be developed
so that the white man respects
the Negro's individuality.
Buck will a member of a panel
of three University professors
who discussed the problem of inte
gration on Altoona's television
station, WFBG-TV. Other panel
members were Lr. Lawrence E.
Fouraker, associate professor of
economics, and Dr. William G.
Mather, professor of sociology.
Dr. Luther H. Harshbarger, Uni;
versa) , chaplain, was moderator.
Panel members agreed that the
Federal government's policy of
forced integration has raised new
ptoblems in race relations. Four
alter ci nicized the policy as "em
phasvang the unenmity rather
than unamity" to both races.
Buck, who agreed with Four
alter, said that he would like to
see the South given more time
to integrate "as the South pleads
it " A more positive step-by-step
approach should be accepted by
the North, he said.
Fouraker disagreed with Buck
by saying that the integration
pi oce:,s is a responsibility of the
Federal government rather than
the South. Many problems of inte
gration would have been avoided
if integration had been better
planned, he said.
Mather painted out that the
d..ep South is working against it
self by eovouraging industry to
open factories. Negro labor drawn
to the factories, he explained,
will organize itself and raise its
status

All Students
The Division of Counseling
(DOC) tries to help the incoming
student get the most out of his
four undergraduate years by put
ting him on the right track and
then keeping him there.
Prior to registration at the Uni
versity, the new student must
participate in a counseling pro
gram—including tests and inter
views—designed to determine his
aptitudes, skills and other infor
mation which will help the fresh
man find the right major field.
But DOC's service doesn't end
there. Throughout his four years,
the personnel and facilities of the
office are available in instances
of academic difficulty such as
troubles with grades, doubts as
to major studies, and other prob
lems.
One of the functions of DOC is
to serve as a kind of "temporary
college." A student having trou
ble with his major may transfer
out of his college and into Coun
seling. Then he may take courses
related to the major he wishes
eventually to switch into.
This is especially valuable in
the case of a student wanting to
transfer but lacking the average
required by the new major.
A wider range of courses is
open to students 'in DOC.
DOC took on a new dimension
when it entered into the field of
student government. In 'Septem
ber, 1957, the D 2 Student
Council was established; partly
as a result of recommendations
made by Student Encampment.

Student Parties Run
Campus 'Politicking'
Just about when you think you're'as oriented as you can
be to college Join's, another phase of University life will
descend upon you in the form of campus politics.
As a freshman or sophomore you may be swept up in
this hand-shaking student government activity in the fall
as the two political parties, Campus and University, organize
to promote their candidates for
the freshman and sophomore
class elections around November.
This fervent campaigning goes
campus-wide in the spring -whenl
the parties select candidates to
run for the All-University, senior
and junior class officers.
The campus political system is,
organized generally on a two
party system, similar to the na
tional political set-up. But some
times when everyone thinks two
parties are here to stay, a third
party will emerge.
This happened last year as
Lion party bowed out in favor
of University party which cap
tured eight of the nine student
go v ernment positions In the
spring elections.
However the most changing
factors on the political scene are
the party leaders—also known as
clique chairmen— and the Candi
dates. The , party leaders are
clique chairmen because the par
ties are also known as cliques
(pronounced kleeks, not .olicks).
Pradically every semester sees
new clique chairmen -directing
the activities of the parfies, 'with
the aid and support of steering
committees, and the - party' mem
bers.
The first sign of the Coming
political season will be the. ad- 1
vertisement of the organization'
of the parties or cliques. After
the first get-acquainted meetings
and internal elections, the cliques
will get down to the serious' busi
ness of nominating candidates for
the offices of president, vice pres
ident and secretary-treasurer of
the freshman and sophomore
classes.
Only registered members .pf a
party or clique may - Note in the
primaries for the candidates to
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. 1953
be placed on the party's slate.
Registration' for membership is
held during the first few party
meetings.
No student may run for an of
fice without the nomination of
a party, and a candidate may
run on one party's ticket only,
according to the All-University
Elections Code.
The presidents of the fo u r
classes and the three All-Univer
sity officers sit on All-University
Cabinet.
When all the party candidates
are in place the race is on with
about a week to 10 days of cam
paigning—verbally, visually and
hopefully.
Election day brings an end to
the tensions and some successful
candidates to office.
_Students vote for officers to
,represent their, class in student
government and for the three
All-University officers in the
spring.
