Harvey Deplores
Category Labels
11 we reauy exercise Christi-.1
anity, we will see people as in
dividuals and not judge them by
their labels,” Martin Harvey, dean
of students at Southern university
in Baton Rouge, La., told his au
dience in a University assembly
Tuesday afternoon in the Student
' Union ballroom.
Speaking on the topic “Christi
anity and Race Relations,” the
Negro educator said that the ap
plication of the tenets of the Chris
tian faith will lead us tp see a
person as an individual rather
than as member of a category.
Judgements are made on-the
basis of these category labels—
traditidns, background, geograph
ic location and language—merely
because “people are too lazy to
judge the individual himself,”
Harvey said.
Reasons Given
Harvey, who is on campus as
one of the Religious Evaluation
week speakers, listed two reas
ons for spotlighting the race
problem in the United States.
The first reason, he declared, is
that America is built on the ideal
that all men are equal. The second
is that people of other nations are
looking to us as world leaders for
the solution of one of the world’s
great problems.
“This is one of the human prob
lems which we need to see against
the background of our Christian
frame of reference,” said Harvey.
“Racial background is forgotten
in the fellowship of Christianity,”
he added.
Ethics Explained
Harvey then devoted the major
part of his address to an explana
tion of Christian ethics as applied
to the problem of race relations.
“Christianity,” said Harvey, “in
sists that all men have a common
origin, unique among' creatures,
that the human family belongs to
gethei- and that the love of God
and the love of man is the same. ’
In an aside to his topic, Harvey
explained to his audience that it
isn t true that everyone in the
South is “evil" in regard to race
relations.
If the Supreme Court rules to
end segregation in schools (and
Harvey expects them to so rule,)
the people in the South will abide
by the decision “because people are
fundamentally law-abiding, funda
mentally decent,” he said.

ment are now open to petition.
