University of South Carolina VOL. xx COLUMBIA, S.-C., FRID AY, IARCH 11, 1927 MEL TON MEMORIAL TO BE ERECTED SOON Negro Problem Discussed By Josiah Morse Talk One of a Series of Eight on "Know South Carolina,"-. Sponsored by Y PROBLEM IS. WORLDWIDE Says Enkigration of Negro May < Solve the Problem for Our Southland The negro problem is the problem I that it is, not because of any inherent I complexity, but of the deep-seated I prejud'ces, biases, and attitudes which I are associated with it," Dr. Josiah Morse said in chapel Sunday night. His talk is one of a series of eight on s "Know South Carolina." 1 Continuing, Dr. Morse said, "all ap- ( proaches to the problem are repelling, 1 and it is probably the most difficult one I in the world. Our prejud'ced attitudes prevent our seeing the problem in its true light, and so prevent our solving it. This is true of inter-racial problems the world over." "'he easiest way out is along econo mic lines," Dr. Morse assured his audi ence. He br'efly traced.the parts eco nomics has played in slavery, emigra tion, and racial problems, and stated that the negro is no exception to eco nomic rules. "The negro has adjusted himself to slavery, actual and economic, he has prospered and multiplied under these handicaps, and he has been the only colored race to look the white man in the face and live." The speaker pointed out that the new immigration laws had shut off the plentifpl supply of Europe labor, and that as a consequence Northern capi tal is now bidding for the labor of the negro. "The tendency is for the more intelligent and adventurous types to go North, and the South may well look forward to the time when only the dregs of the negro race will be left." 'However des'rable the negro's emi gration may be and what we may do to hasten his departure, justice de mands that we do not add to his al ready heavy burden. I would fear thv God of Justice if I did other than ex tend to him] the helping hand, if I should make his lot- harder instead of easier. The negro must be treated with absolute fa'rness." Dr. Morse concluded his speech with an appeal for a Christian attitude and a Christian solution of the problem. -U.S C.

HELP OFFERED ALL STUDENTS WHO REGISTER University Employment Bureau Will Find Positions for Graduates PROFESSOR CROW IS HEAD Requests From Future Employ ers Urge University Stu dents Apply for Work All seniors and students who wish to receive epi)loyment after graduation or for next year are requested by the Uni versity Employment Bureau to file their application with this bureau at Once. Professor Orin F. Crow, head of this department, requests that all those en roll now who desire aid frot this bu reau in securing positions. Many stu dents wait too long to enroll; by so doing many good positions are lost. This bureau has already begun to re ceive requests from trustees, superin tendents. and others who are asking for applications from students at the University. Although there are more students who receive positions as teachers than any other kind of posi- t tion, it must be remembered that this department aids students in securing any kind of position for which they may be fitted. This employment bureau was organ ized last year. Up until that time the only department aiding students and graduates was one conducted by the school of education for the placing of prospective teacher. Professor Stod dard was head of that department. Dr. Melton, desirous of helping not only teachers, btit others to secure p9sitions, established the present bureau and ap pointed Professor Crow as head. Those who enlist with this depart- a ment, are requested to fill out fonr blanks, furnished by the department. One of these blanks contains a com- d plete record of the appl'cant to which t are attached testinionials from various professors. To this blank is also at- I tached a small protograph of the ap plicant so that those who come in per son to the departiient may see the plo tograplh or so that the department will have a photo to send to any employer who might request one. The thr, ialler blanks contain less 'nforiation than the larger and are sent by the bu reau to employers who would like to receive some infornation from the Univeirsity concerning the applicanlt. -U.S.C. t Miss Anna Weinsel ' Wins Piano Contest 0 Co-ed Will Represent South Car olina in Southern Contest at High Point i itl Miss Anna We'nsel. a senior at the University. last week won the South Carolina Young Artists Grotip piano ( contest held at I lart sville.
