Few Racial Incidents Marred
Negro's History at University
By JOHN THOMPSON
Calvin Hoffman Waller was
not a typical Penn State stu
dent. An agriculture student
from Macon, Ga., he was de
scribed in the 1904 La Vie as
"a member of the trio that runs
State" and "about as congenial
a fellow as you may care to
strike (meet).'
Waller was a student leader,
but there was another impor
tant difference between him
and the other students in his
graduating class of 60 years
ago.
Waller was the first Negro
to attend Penn State.
Others Followed
Since that time, hundreds of
Negro students have studied
under the shadow of Old Main.
Most of their names and
achievements have been lost
to history, but traces remain
to remind us of the influence
Negroes have had in Penn
State history.
The record in many cases is
not a pleasant one. Despite nu
merous student leaders and in
fluential Negro organizations,
the Negro history at Penn State
has been marked by discrimi
nation and prejudice.

class of 1923 was a Negro stu
dent who came to Penn State
with visions of a better educa
tion than he could obtain in
his native Liberia.
The Nouth, who became
known as "Koko" to his
friends, lived in Old Main
while studying animal hus
bandry. He became •ill and was
taken to a doctor, who diag
nosed his illness as malnutri
tion,
Refused Service
Investigation showed that
"Koko" had been refused serv
ice by State College restaurants
and had been preparing meals
in his own room.
It was the first recorded in
cident of racial discrimination
in the State College area.
Despite numerous such inci
dents, major racial disturbances
have happened only twice in
Penn State history. In 1948-49
and in 1960 students picketed
State College barber shops,
charging discrimination against
Negro students.
But despite the cloud of dis
crimination, Negro students—
although always small in num
ber—have made Penn State
news.
Jesse Arnelle was elected
All-University .president in
April, 1954, by a landslide mar
gin of three to one over his
nearest opponent.
At least three Negro profes
sional football greats—Roose
velt Grier, Wallace Triplett and
Lenny Moore—at one time at
tended Penn State.
Actual Number Unknown
The number of Negro stu
dents at the University at any
given time is unknown, since
the University keeps no rec
ords according to race. About
60 colored students were esti
mated to be at Penn State dur
ing the barber shop incidents
of 1048-49 and current esti
mates range from 200 to 300.
In the current academic year
at least one Negro student is
active in each of these student
organizations: Undergraduate
Student Government, The
'Daily Collegian, Interfraternity
Council, University Readers,
University and Chapel Choirs,
advanced ROTC and Model
United Nations.
A USG congressman, the
president of the junior class,
and the president of the Wes
ley Foundation are Negro. In
addition, numerous Negroes
are members of athletic teams.

towards jazz, forming his own
band at the age of 15. The jazz
man had already earned a name
for himself as a trumpet player
by the time he came to this
country in 1947.
In that year Ferguson joined
the the ranks of the Boyd Rae-'
burn group. Later in his career
he went over to the Jimmy'
Dorsey band, and from there
to Charlie Barnet's musicians.
Ferguson really hit popularity
paydirt when working with the
Stan Kenton band.
'Remarkable'
Concerning Sunday's star per
former, Eugent Lees, managing '
editor of "Down Beat," has said:
". . . it. rapidly became evident
that Maynard Ferguson was one;
of the most remarkable techni-1
cians on trumpet alive—perhaps
the most remarkable in history."l
Even prior to the inception of,
his present large band, Ferguson
received numerous laurels. For
three consecutive years, from
1950-52, ''Down Beat" fans voted
him their favorite trurnpter,
New Star Band
When he was still working with
Kenton his band was chosen
the New Star band in the 1959
"Down Beat" International Jazz
Critics Poll.
Ferguson feels that his 12-man
group "can give me all the
'bigness' I want and I can oper
ate better at very fast tempos
when it comes to swinging . .."
