PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Answer to a Crisis A progressive university must move under the leader ship ui a progressive president. Penn State has a pro gressive president in Eric A. Walker. Dui log tfie past three weeks, Prexy has shown himself tu he a leader among state educators. At the Board of Trustees’ meeting, Walker announced a plan to incorporate the University's 14 urban centers into a system of 2-year colleges. The system of Commonwealth campuses would be integrated with the University and administered by it. A 2-year program benefits especially those without the time or money to complete a 4-year program at the University. With a vast network of centers within easy reach of the Commonwealth's citizens, the system would provide for adult education as well as the short 2-year programs. With higher education of more people becoming more and more important In this era of Sputniks, guided missiles and tremendously complex diplomatic needs, a 2-year program is inevitable. The decision to accept or reject the University’s pro posal now lies m the hands of Gov. David L. Lawrence and the state legislators, for in all likelihood the burden for financial support will have to fall to the citizens of the state, as well as to the communities where the centers are located. The question of how to finance this vast project is something yet to be determined. Walker already has answered the question of who is to administer the plan. He said the University will inte grate the program with its present system. Another notable phase of Walker’s progressive educa tion plans was his “Slate of the University" address to the faculty, in which he “laid his cards on the table" concern ing bis request for $44 million from the state legislature. He explained, point by point, where the money would be used and just how much is needed and why. The request for nearly $8 million to provide for increase* in faculty salaries drew immediate and understandable praise from the faculty and staff. On the athletic scene. Walker realizes the University's need for a larger stadium and presented a plan for the relocation of Beaver Field and an increase in seating capacity from 28,000 to 43,000. Walker is leading the University forward. It is up to the citizens of the state and their elected representatives to back up this progress through support of his programs.

Little Man on Campus *dm Southerners Speak On Segregation BS £ GRADS An observer once remarked about French politics, “Fifty million Frenchmen—so million political parties” Southerners of the so-called “border” states appear to hold almost equally divergent views on the controversial issue of desegregation. That was the impression we got last week on a 1200-mile trip through Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee Most of the people we talked to think complete desegrega tion is inevitable—although they all expressed the view that it is undesirable, at least below the college level. A freshman in engineering at the University of Virginia told us he can see no reason for barring from college any Negro who has the brains and money to seek a higher educa tion. MIN E, CHEM The student spoke out against the “unmoderates” on both sides, express ing disappro al of bot Arkansas Go' Faubus a n the Natiom Assn, for tht Advancemer of Col o r e People (NAA CP). While thei are many N< gro childre. “you wouldn’t' franklin want your franklin children to go to school with,” the student said, he admitted that many white children fall into the same classification. Integration is inevitable, but “it will take time,” he said, “and understanding." We met three dungaree-clad students from the Bristol, Tenn.. high school, who see no problem in integration. They would have no objection to attending school with Negro children so long as they "stay ed in their place." Negroes around Bristol, which is on the Virginia bor der, comprise about 7 per cent of the population. Their high school has ben called more modern than the one reserved for white students. BS IN ME. Integration is nothing new to some of the more rural areas of the border states. One south eastern Kentucky district has a completely integrated school system—there is only one Ne gro family in the county.

WIN 6 9 0 / y i By Boh Franklin vanced to us most frequently was to begin with the first grade and integrate one more grade each succeeding year, taking 12 years to complete the job. But there were other plans advanced—and other reasons given for the segregation con troversy. A semi-retired farmer from near Gate City, in southwestern Virginia, blamed consolidation or rural schools for the problem. The farmer had met men from all over the country when he served in the Army during World War II (and was wound ed four times), but he felt strongly that integration “just isn’t right.” His feelings about equal education opportunities were just as strong however: “The colored man pays the same taxes; he's equal before the law.” A sailor from Tennessee proposed that taxes collected from Negroes be used to build only Negro schools and that taxes collected from whites go only to white schools. The U.S. Supreme Court in tegration decision of 1954 brought the bitterest criticism from a University of Virginia liberal arts student who hails from upstate New York, but is a native southerner. That decision "set back race relations in the South by more than 20 years." he said. "There's no doubt about it." The Negro has made a great deal of gradual progress with out resistance since Emancipa tion, he said, but the high court’s decision has tried to change too much too suddenly. The student’s father came from Mississippi, where the student has visited occasion ally. Whites of the deep South fear integration because of sub standard health and moral con ditions among many Negroes, who constitute more than half the population of many coun ties, he claimed. He described most members of both races as being satisfied with segregation. They will re sist change, he said, much more than will border-state citizens.
