PAGE SIX Wiliorns Comments On 'Freed= Riders' By DOTI DFIASHER The Negro Freedom Riders in the South must contend with the forces of tradition and social custom as well as "legal loopholes" to achieve recognition of their right to equality, Rev. Preston N. Williams, associate chaplain on leave from the University, said recently. The problems of discrimination which "fivedorn rides" and "sit-ins" are not innitod 1,0 just the schools, bus ,tv.tions, restaurants and housing iu 111 , ... South, Williams said. He add( d that discrimination prob k ins exist in many northern com munities includim , this University and State College The movement for equality was begun by the action of many young people in nonviol lent protests. The Freedom Rid ers have demonstrated that they are interested in continuing the movement, Williams said. The ultimate problem is, he said, that the Negro is not really considered as a person by many White Southerners and, as they sec it. the concepts of "right and wrong" apply only to white peo ple. "Not all Negros consciously want this equality because they have been brainwashed by dec ade -: of socH tradition," he said. The protests in the form of nonviolent "sit-ins" and "free dom rides" is coming mostly from the youn?er generation. They realize that they do have the same worth, dignity, and value and that they can do some thing about the situation of non eauality, he said. Since the Supreme Court deci sion in 1954 outlawed segregated sc hools, the federal government has taken increasing responsibil ity not only for the integration of schools but also for the equal use of ether facilities. Williams said. "The purpose of the Freedom Rides is to arouse the public and the Qovernment to the enactment of those laws which guarantee coualitk, for all races." Williams said. And the Freedom Riders have received federal protection from eovernment troops in the South when any violence has been thrertened. What is needed now is the social acceotance of the Negro as a person, he said. Many of the white Southern people realize the channe is well on its way, he added, but neonle can be easily aroused by "hate agita tors" anyhow. The arrest of the Freedom Rid ers on charges of "breach of peace" is based, on the community mores which do not permit the asrociation of Negro and white ti - ciPle, he said. By that associa tion in the schools, at the bus slit ticn,: and at lunch counters, they "di‘:turb the community pattern. laplain Speak The Chapel Service sermon, "Reason and Passion." will be giv en I Luther H.

Allen St, • AD 8-1241 Universily Offers New Curriculum For Math Majors To help meet the growing de-, mand for mathematicians with training in science, the University is initiating a new bachelor of sci ence curriculum in mathematics, beginning this term. Dr. Jams Bartoo, head of the department of mathematics, said that the new curriculum will be somewhat lighter in the humani ties and social sciences and that it will allow math majors more elective freedom in science courses. "We felt that our students in math should have a strong orien tation toward some of the fields of application in mathematics," Bar too said. No new courses, nor any change in the required number of credits, is involved in the new curriculum. he said. The new program will be an alternative to the major in mathematics offered as part of the arts and letters curriculum that leads to a bachelor of arts degree. The major difference between the two programs is that the num ber of required science credits has been raised from 15 to 24 for the new curriculum. The new program will expedite training of specialists in applied mathematics. mathematical phys ics, mathematical economics. ac turial science. numerical analysis, and some areas of applied statis tics, Bartoo said.
