Stetson Students Help Tutor Negro High School Students By ADDIE CONKLIN The Stetson student who joins in tutoring Southwestern High students may begin to chip a crack in the vicious circle which bounds the American Negro on all sides intq his segregated Inferno.- - .■■., ~»^—~~—^-'—,•-..<■.-■-• Why tutor Negro students?— because, whether we like to face it. or not, white America has raised economic, social, cultural, and educational barriers- before a large segment of our citizens, simply on the basis of skin color. Disadvantages jn one area lead easily into hopelessness in another and another/ GHETTO PRESSURES The psychological pressures of simply on the basis of skin color, the ghetto lead to poorer econo mic and cultural levels which in turn create little opportunity for high schooling, the lack of the .scholastic training again re-, volves back into the impossibUi- ty of better jobs or social, cultural advancement.,- . -~~T-he Negro-studentkwho*;wishes' for' college training faces- problems which many; of us can only barely realize. ; . ■ . First of all, he has-to make it through high school with the realization that a diploma will probably make no difference in his. employment opportunities, since he already has been typed as a menial, laborer. ", Then, he faces tests which are geared to the experience and cultural background of the middle class white—the gadgets, Trimester Blasted By State Colleges Presidents Of UofF, FSU:." Against Plan TALLAHASSEE — When leg-' islators and state officials gathered at the University of Florida last weekend for fun and poli-; ticking, they were given an extensive student study of the ■university trimester system to consider. ,,,■.- "Please do . not shrug, your shoulders and throw it away," said the editorial in the special trimester section of the university newspaper, The Alligator. "Read it and consider what the people interviewed have to say." Those interviewed included university presidents, professors, deans, governor candidates, the governor and university Board of Control officials. ' A poll of those interviewed showed heavy opposition to the trimester system of providing three periods of study a year instead of the two semester system. Both Dr. J. Wayne Reitz, president of the University of Flor- Freshmen Choose Four For Senate In the runoff elections for the four Seudent Senate representatives of the freshman class, Terry Able, by receiving the largest number of votes, was elected class president for the coming year. Finishing second, third and fourth respectively were John Welch, Jack Samler and Mike Egan. These four were chosen along with Don Francisco, Steve Rushing, Glen Reed and Dave Sumner from a field of 34 candidates to compete in the runoffs. Each, freshman was allowed to vote for four i of the eight in the runoff. '' ida, and Dr. Gordon BlackWeU, president of Florida State University, came out against the system. Both said the trimester ."• system failed to reach either of its two main goals: To use university space more advantageously,' and to speed up education for an earlier graduation. , Dr. Reitz said under the trimester system the students were under too much pressure. One unidentified student compared the trimester system of education- to trying to drink water from a , high. pressure hose..'..'. Both Dr. Reitz and Dr. Black- well said the additional work forced students to take fewer hours under the trimester system, delaying: their graduation. Haydon Burns of Jacksonville, Democratic candidate for governor in next month's election, promised to study the trimester system with a view toward eliminating it. But,, he said he would take the recommendations of university officials and education experts before deciding. Republican Candidate Charles Holley of St. Petersburg said he was uncertain which would be the best method of providing top quality education in Florida. Gov. Farris Bryant, "one of the supporters of the two-year- old trimester system, said it was, being used as a scapegoat for other problems on the campus,. , • , .'■.:.•'. "However," he said, "I don't care what system'we use to achieve. our goal of year-round education." State School Superintendent Thomas Bailey said the trimester, system ; was defeating its own purpose of early graduation by forcing students to take lighter study ioads. Baya Harrison of St. Petersburg, chairman of the University Board of Control, said the trimester system would not be eliminated until objective ■ and responsible proof is presented. (Reprinted from a story appearing in the Miami Herald.), the magazines, the books we take for granted; are often out of his grasp. A Negro student's schooling is often "Separate, but not equal." The great shortage of qualiied Negro teachers puts strains upon teacher'and pupil alike. Also this is the first year in many that, for various reasons, students at Southwestern can bring their texts out of , the school building. : Put yourself in the' Negro's shoes for one moment, and, see how steep and impenetrable/are the walls raised by discrimination and prejudice. - - , -•■ There are many students here in DeLand who would give a great deal to be able to come to college. Given half a chance, the Negro does have a good possibility of success. In a national study, Negro dropout rates were one quarter of the national averages. DEVELOP POTENTIAL Our ; goals on . the Tutoring Committee are concerned with supplementing high school studies and bringing them up to the level of non-segregated high schools, preparing students for the.batteries of tests they must face before they enter coUege, and encouraging them somehow to develop their potential. -If you,; .too,' feel as if it is time,, at Jong last, to begin to remedy unequal educational'opportunities, to try to find'solutions to a frequently forgotten dilemma, we'd like to have- you join us in our tutoring program. JUST TWO HOURS ■ In order to have some continuity and order between tutored and tutorers, we ask that you pledge two hours weekly for this semester. Remember these students are on only a high school level, so if you gave at basic understanding of math or, English, we can surely use you. . Please contact Sandy Hardy, or the representative of your religious organization on campus. '-. A card with your name and the subject- in which you're interested will bring-you notices of organizational meeting or answers to questions. We think we can really make this a worthwhile program, but only student support can make it a .working reality. What we propose,, we realize, is too little and too late, but we do propose to begin! Edmunds Host To Of f icials Following the dedication of the' new College Plaza Shopping Center George Jenkins, founder and president of Publix super market chain, WiUiam HoUis, vice president of . Publix Markets; and Jack Eckerd, president of Eck- erd Drug Company, were honor guests at a coffee foUowing the opening of College 'Plaza yesterday morning. Hosted by President J. OUie Edmunds, the affair was held at the President's residence on the Stetson University campus, I Secretary Hodges Slices Goldwater,; Accents Education Secretary of Commerce of the United States, Luther'H. Hodges, spoke to a group of Stetson students and faculty and DeLand residents Wednesday evening in Elizabeth auditorium. Mr. Hodges devoted his speech to explaining • President Johnson's plans for education and taking a few slices at Sen. Gold- water. Comparing President Johnson to John B. Stetson, he said, "Both men have been builders .. .Stetson in establishing this fine Baptist University, and President Johnson for his; deep involvement in the -recent Congress's enactment of a dozen major pieces of legislation dealing with education." , "These measures included the Higher Education Facilities 'Act of 1963, the Health, Professions Educational Assistance Act of 1963, the first modernization of our Vocational" Education Act since 1946, an expanded National Defense Education Act, "the Library Services Act of 1964, and the program of Federal grants to encourage educational television.-; "Senator Goldwater, of course, voted or was paired against aU of these measures—because he believes, not only that the Federal Government',should.not provide aid to education; but also— and I quote: "The "government has no right to educate children... The,child has no right to,an education. (And) tin most cases the . children wUl get along very weU without it." Mr. Hodges went on to cite examples of , the progress that have.been made in education in recent years, ' . He then said, "These figures on education symbolize and U- lustrate the progress- we have made in the 20th century. -They remind us of the overriding importance -'of people in a modern economy—because.modern techr nology has made. ' people-^edu- cated people—more" important, not less important. :. • - - "They remind us of the importance of developing aU of our people,to their fullest potential. And they remind :us that wisely conceived government programs can stimulate social progress, can expand opportunity for our people; can strengthen our economy and- our free enterprise system, and can make us freer, more, self-reliant, and better able to take care of ourselves and our families. "And these are, aU issus in the current campaign." Mr. Hodges next took the audience on a trip to Barryland, explaining what life'was like^at the beginning of the century.: - "But," he stated, "The American people' are not .looking backward. Their imagination cannot be captured by the chaUeng- es of the past." He then explained the multitude of changes that would take place in American life in the next decade. President Johnson, Mr. Hodges feels, is the only candidate capable of adjusting to and the future. "What Americans of all ages need is leadership that is compassionate and' progressive, responsive and responsible. We need leadership that is bold enough to act" a n d ' prudent enough to avoid both waste-and the temptation to try to -do everything from Washington." ■ Mr. Hodges ended his speech by saying, "We have always been a progressive, forward- looking people, and I predict that we wUl go forward with Lyndon Johnson by an overwhelming majority in November." By TOM HENDRT In the wake of recent changes in Soviet leadership and' with the first nuclear explosion from Red China, President.
