City news, locals Wednesday. Telephone 4523 Saturday, April 15, 1939 college executive P. B. Young, Jr., in his Noto Book is unusually observant and interesting. In speaking of his observations and odds and ends of striking information culled while visiting colleges in South Carolina. he spoke this of Claflin College, Orangeburg: "This historic college maintained under the aegis of the Methodist Episcopal church,, is headed by Dr. J. B. Randolph, a college executive of extended and varied experience. Dr. Randolph always arranges to conduct a few lecture courses himself and the besttribute to his ability as a teacher is the rapt attention of his students during his discourses. He has a keen sense of humor and mixeg *n just the right propot tions tty?steer 1ris"_j1steners from the inevitable let dawn of a dayof classroom routine. Dr. Randolph was formerly pres ident of Samuel Houston College in Texas and before that, was for many years a member of the faculty of Wiley College, also in Texas. His favorite avocation is photography and he has a Leica cameta and accessories that are the envy of any "camera crank". He uses it with professional skill and ' the eye of an artist.' ? -???7. 1 _ \ NEGRO SOLDIERS L- H Recent dispatches from Washington state that there are only 3,685 Negro soldiers listed in the regular army of the United States. Instead of holding our own. it is said that the number is being decreased annually. It is discouraging to learn that there are no colored doctors in the .Medical corps, no colored dentictc in tVirk Hnnfol r*r.-r>-r\o /%r\1 ored Veterinarian in the Veterinarian corps, and no colored nurses in the NursV corps. The dispatch states: . "The latest compiled strength of the Regular Army shows that there are only 3,085 colored enlisted men. They are assigned to the Ninth Calvary, 431; Tenth Calvary, 678; 24th Infantry, 891; 215th Infantry, 1,073, and other activities, 612. There were 3,853 colored enlisted men in the Army on March 31. 1938. In t.ho same nnrind nei?rTP" crease of one officer^ias~oc5iTrrfe3T There are at present five colored officers in the Regular .'Army. A year ago there were only four. "Only two of the five colored officers on the active list are combat officers. The other three are chaplains. The five officers are, Colonel Benjamin O. Davis, calvary; Chaplain Louis A. Carter, (colonel), Chaplain Monroe S. De Veaux (first lieutenant)'. and Second Lieutenant Benjamin O. Davis, Infantry. denomination not an Important qualification "If I were called a college student of 1939, I would strive to reaeh?the?9fth~~degree; I would stand for something so that no one could pass me aside with the waive of his hand or the shrug of his shouldeis. It is a great tragedy to live in this world and not count for something". The above quotation is taken from an ad (fress deliverred by Dean B._. E, ?' Mays of?ffrrmrrrf University before the students and faculty of Allen university last Friday. For 20 minutes Dean Mays held i; ? the closest attention of his hearers. ~ Every word uttered by the Howard university wizard made mental pictures?every word had a teal meaning. At. the close of the speech a group of senior college students remarked:' "We need that type of man as president of our school." The managers and supporters of our denominational colleges would make a greater opening for their schools if they would not consider membership in a certain/ church or denomination a pre-requisite in selecting a college president. Student^ are thinking. Students crave for inspiration that should come from Che head of the school. He shouidbe 6 man of acadeqiit rating and administrative power, these qualifications should be considered first. It does not matter a "tinkei's damn" what his denomination in. it he is outstanding m the particular qualities needed to function as a real*president then he snould be elected. Give soma attention to what the students think. Many denominational colleges suffer because they make church affiliation p pre?requisne ir* chosing their college heads, in this tne secular schools are pieased. They nfake -a_-oho4ee-f4vni amOTTg the outstand ing scholars without being bound by denpoiuialinnap-ties. Mteir~amp.y Tjualified for the office of college president are few.

O. Walker whose gov d leadership brought to his school the prestige t;hat bestows upon Vt dberl'orce graduates heavenly ? blessings, as so-to-speak. The alumni of the first college of the A. M.

The vote admiting Wilberforce the select group of 253 other colleges and universities in 28 states was taken by full membership at a meeting in Chicago last "week. Dr. D. O. Walker made this pledge following his election June it, 11)36: ?"One"of- my main objectives will be the accrediting of the university whatever the cost may be Wilberforce must justify its -existance on Ohio soil in meeting the highest educational standards set for the training and development >f the. citizens of the great state erf Ohio." , The turnover at Wilberforce, as it- is in many of our colleges, is too often. Dr. Walker is serving his first quadrennium. We hope he will stay there 8 years longer and continue to build a great school in that section of the world. PRESIDENT WILLIAM GREEN URGES A. F. OF L.

In years gone by we could ; only read in our Bible of what transpired from Christ's trium| phant entry into Jerusalem on | Palm Sunday, to His glorious resurrection on Easter morning, but I in the past week many of us were able to turn on our radios and listen to the Passion Play in series, dramatized each day. at 2:00 o'clock from Palm Sunday thru Easter.

Wherein1 his phenomenon represents a' p solated situation in time and " pace it need not occasion alarm; ut where it represents a general t sndency it becomes an alarming' / conomic sympton and that should ( ause Negro leadership gryve cnn.?( ern. TKe desire to own kand was t! >ne U1 Hit nut* miu lunstiuvviiw v )bsessions of the older Negroes 1 tnd because of it much land was r icquired. a ; c Negroes Losing Land < - ' i For some yeai-s there have been < ndications that this land purchas ?d through sweat and hi nod wan f n actually slipping from?tha?pro * ent Negro generations. In far too 1 naflV instances lands are going to c vaste that a few years agb were < n fine states of cultivation, whilt.? tiuusiiilds of younger^ Negroes? from the South are languishing in ? the slums of the pitioc ? sVhat is- worse, these lands are ( jeing repossessed by the whites . vho more and more are returning :o the farm for sustenance. One i eason the younger generations , if_Negroes is indifferent to?the jossibilities of land ownership re- t sides in the fact, that Negro leader ship has been remiss in its great | jpportunity to hold before the rare the fttturelessness of a-'^andless ' people. Th6 group that relinquish-, ?s hold on the land is on its way jut. The future of the Negro lies ] jn the farm and not in the city. The city is of th^white man by the white man and for the white man. The Negro need not hope for more than "what is left", "and this is becoming less and less. While a XT nre?>nnc *v* Q XT I'cnroQ^ Allf" and win economic competence; the masses are going to be more and more distressed.. If this fact were ( more generally pressed upon the, Negro he would be more hesitant j to let his land get away. But the matter of urging Negroes to stick to the lnnd in not ptrpnfar nn<r~tToes not savor of the "fight" that Negroes are wont to manifest. But as about the farm, so about many" other matters of vital concern. Negro leadership is more desirous of beiog "popular" than in being I helpful. It has come about fhat little or nothing is being done to , point out the short comings along with, the long>-comings" of the race Nobody is doing anything to provoke the race to serious thought on a racial program. Aside from protest, we have no program; and this writer has pointed out time , and again that a program based on protest- alone will not ""suffice. ~ Negroes need vocational education most keenly today ^but is there ; is nobody to press the matter upon hiift. j Teachers Apathetic to""Vocational . Training This matter must be sold through our school systems but our teachers are not sold on the mattei of vocational education. They do not beleive in it and therefore can not commend it to their pupils. It is safe to say that the major results of the entire program of Negro education can be resolved into two fundamental reactions to the world about us, the "white collar complex" and the"protest com plex". Aside from these two re | actions the moral effects of our education are neligible. The situate ion demands tnat , somebody do j straight talk to Negroes them- J selves. When we shall have gotten the white man "told" and have | learned to "speak up to" and back' . at'him, we are still a long way | from the Promised Land of economic and social salvation. Negroes have faults no less than the white man and they should be told of these faults. Should See Our Own Faults A spoiled race in this age is at a serious disadvantage and* will be more disadvantifl goons?rrr~ -the?generations come and go. Isreal must be told of his sihs. We are not doing- the cause of Negro advancement to direct all of our criticism at the dominant white man and fail to exhort and admonish our own people along the ways of survival. The white man makes us race conscious, but we ourselves mnof onliioon ?. ...~uv mviiicvc vuie-uu i sciousness, dollar- consciousness and farm consciousness. Strangely' enough almost the entire Negro press is addressed to the white man rather than to theNegro. This n^ed not be so with the columns of the white press open to Negroes. The Negro press should be address 1 ed to the Negroes and when we would address the whfte reading world let us do it through the white press. Our race needs some straight talk on many rpatters. Our inclination to evade this is a dangerous symptom! tor at 5 o'clock' a.m. the Resurrection sermon was delivered- -by^ the paatoir"ttnt Targe audience. | And 11:15 o'clock the mid-clay wor ship began at which time 76 persons were read into full connec| tion.
