The Ruling Against Segregation
Poses A Promise And A Threat

x tli proinisini; and
tint it shows that we are takiim a firm stop toward
the doctrine of equality of men. It is threatening
in that it contains the elements which could easily

The threat is greater than tin promise its presence is forlxxhng ciiouuh to w arrant the utmost in
caution. First, we as a nation are now in the spotlight of the world. The United States lias leen the
constant target of streams of communistic propaganda concerning our treatment of Negroes.
propaganda has l

justified. Only in the last lew ears have we finally
overcome the atrocious custom ol lynching. We
have remained one of the few national jxwers that
practice widespread prejudice. When a Negro is
elected to a city office, or to a government position,
we are astounded. How does the rest of the world
.feel about this situation?
Most of the world feels disgusted alxiut it. localise most of the world is not white. Asians and
Negroes by far outnnmlH'r the white races. And
every time one of our examples of prejudice is made
known, people all over the world shake their heads
and wonder if this is the nation that is supposed to
le the leader of freedom, the guide of the democratic w ay of living.
Prejudice certainly cannot lx eliminated by a ruling of any court, because prejudice is a primitive,
dismal, slimy disease that rots away petty minds for
generation after generation. Most prejudice stems

Need More Study
One nice thing alwut having a written set of
parking rules such as the one presented by SGA's
judiciary committee this week is that its easier
to bo confused. looking over the instructions and
regulations, one comes across the following item:
"Commuters shall lx defined as 'students who travel
daily (round-trip- )
to the University from outside a
radius.'
This means that students who commute from
places such as Wincheste r. Versailles. Georgetown,
or
are not eligible for a commuter's
parking permit. We may be wrong, but according
to our mathematics, a student would have to travel
away from the Unive rsity for 25 miles lx'fore reaching the "Commuter Curtain."
It is fair to presume that most UK commuters
come from locations within the prescribed radius.
The judiciary committee should make a thorough
study of the situation and make' any necessary
changes.

living in a world of nuclear fission a strange world
w here men dream of space travel but elon t want

If we f.iil ntw, if we cannot find the strength to

SGA 's First Need

Monday night. SGA's new representative's, president, and vice' president took office. True to past
form, the meeting was marked by confusion, argument over pointless points, and debate ewer nothing. Prophetically, at the end of the meeting,

Palmer's request
one that has been made by
every new SGA president for years past. Seldom
lias a new president come into office without urging
more individual work, and, in
more
general, an improved student Ixxly.
Bluntly, SGA is a student group working in cooperation with the faculty. Its function is te make
recommendations for improvements on the campus,
tt) study them, and. if feasible, tt) present them te)
the Faculty. This, by itself, is noble enough an
ambition. In order tt) find the proper solutions for
campus problems, hard, sincere work is called for
work that can't be done in a chaotic, haphazard
manner.
The biggest fault within the assembly has
a
lack of order. Parliamentary procedure has been a
farce. Business has beeu conducted in a fashion
which, at most, wastes time', frays nerves, ami delays action. All governmental Ixxlies have
w ithin them SGA has its share. Points are
argued endlessly, w ith the usual conclusion that it
was senseless to bring up the point in the first place.
Debates anil discussions tend to stray from the
matter under discussion. A thousand and one
extraneous items are inserted into the simplest
topics, and arguing and fumbling procedure mark
almost every meeting.
Palmer askeel for a better SGA. There was noth-in- g
wrong with such a request, but w e wonder how-hintends to get results. If the assembly insists on
s
spending
of its time on senseless
fumbling ant! blundering in the dark, how can SGA
lx made mere efficient? The best platforms in the
world can't be an asset if they're handed to groping,
unsure hands.
Palmer urged more
work by
assembly members, plus
in earning out projects. But he can't desirable result
either until the sluggishness has been taken out
of SGA.
Palmer aske'd assembly members to do something to make people proud of SGA. Provided that
SGA can be re shaped into working condition,
obstacle will be in the way-t- hat
of platforms
to be carried out.
If SGA can be streamlined, if it can be whipped
up into gexx! legislative shape, the student bedy can
fit. Palme-- has all the earmarks of a gexxl president. He's hard working, sincere, and anxious to do
his job well. He won't have an easy time he may
not be able to accomplish anything hut there's one
thing we're certain of. He will try to make SGA
more than a name.
