FEPC Deputy
Sees Change
Mark Smith, deputy commis
sioner of the state Fair Employ
ment Practices commission, stated
that we are “witnessing an amaz
ing revolution" in the develop
ment of an unprejudiced society, in
a speech Monday evening to the
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People at
the Student Union. Smith pointed
out that the idea of "opportunity
on merit” is growing and he pre
dicted that America will "wipe
out all discrimination in public
schools.”
Beginning the meeting with a
film, ‘ The Challenge,” a story of
reporters finding out about the
problems of civil rights, he then
described what had been done to
remove discrimination and what
there was yet to do. The job of
the NAACP was to try "to make
democracy work.” He pointed out
that members of the group were
n’t "crackpots and leftists” but
were the real 100 per cent Ameri
cans.
The speaker listed ignorance,
caused in part by movies and cus
toms, and economic fears as sub
stantial factors in creating prej
udices. Two big aids to the elim
ination of prejudices in the recent
years were the fair employment
practices laws which were a result
of the last war and the more re
cent and "greatest thing in the
last 10 years” was the signing of
Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
In regards to the activities of
the local NAACP, Smith stressed
the importance of keeping people
in the community informed of the
proiblems of discrimination. He
declared that the group “has got
to let them,” the community,
“know our goals.”

Faculty Donates $2000
To Current Chest Drive
The Community Chest drive is
running well ahead of last year
reports C. F. Ziebarth, associate
professor of business and the Uni
versity Chest chairman. He added
that the committee is very grati
fied with faculty contributions,
now running over $2000 with a
third of the collectors yet to be
heard from.
On the student side of the drive
$287 has been collected to date re
ports Russ Walker, executive sec
retary of the YWCA. Walker ex
pressed some hope that the stu
dent goal of $500 would be reached
providing the houses yet to report
come through in strong shape.
A prize, not yet determined, will
be presented to the men and wom
en’s organization contributing the
greatest amount per capita. Last
year’s winners were the Alpha
Phis and the Alpha Tau Omegas.
Just 25 cents or more by each
student would push the total well
above the student goal, Walker
reported. Containers for last min
ute donations can be found in the
Fish Bowl and the Co-op.
[ Living organization collections
are to be turned into Mrs. Donna.
