The first pictorial record ever made of life inside a U.S. prison is the result of a 40-day visit by Life photographer, Charles S. Steinheimer, who shar6d the prison routine with the inmates and succeeded in over coming their suspicions of out siders so that his photographs achieve a sustained air of natural ness. The exhibition is arranged in such a way that the photographic sequence reveals to the viewer the various aspects of prison life as it is revealed to the new inmate. It shows the progress made under the administration of Wardon Duffey in spite of the handicaps, such us its large size and lack of sufficient personnel.

It is gratify ing to see this fine reaction of our educational leader.." Williams said that 69 per cent of the ballots mailed to faculty members in 11 Southern state uni versities were returned in favor of opening all graduate schools without segregation If desired courses are not offered by a state supported institution for Negroes.

It acknowledged fraternity privi lege to decide membership qualifi cation and the NIC disclosed "the wisdom or desirability of social considerations affecting member ship, including religious, racial or national qualifications, are thus the concern of the fraternity it self."

Czech Students Seek Aid From Institutions For Study In America The Carolina Fellowships com mittee is interested in the plan of the British Students Association for aiding English speaking Czechoslovakian students in at tending colleges and universities in the United States, Prof. J. E. Nor wood, dean of the college of arts and sciences, said recently. The fel lowship committee will ask that credentials be submitted by the candidates who wish to come to this institution. Capt. Ralph C. Needham, regis trar, has received a letter from the association, an organization of English speaking Czechoslovakian students. The Czechoslovakian stu dents have raised money to help pay for scholarships for Czech un dergraduate students who wish to study in the United States. They have decided to pay cost of pas sage and other traveling expenses of selected students. They are now trying to find colleges that will accept these students and give them tuition. Arrangements would also have to be made with the col leges to take care of room and board of the students. These candidates would be pro ficient in English and would all be better than "B" average students. Apparently all the candidates have attended Charles University in Prague. * I | Fountain " "i SERVICE WILBERT T. PENDARVIS and IILLIAM E. "Bill" SNIPES PERSONNEL PALMS DEN HWY.
