One Refused

Ron Hickman asked if any
Negroes had been refused employment
recently.

Mr. Johnson replied that one
Negro was brought down from
New York, with ample qualifications,
and with assurance from
the merchant that he would be
hired. He was, however, turned
down upon arriving.

"Should the Student Council
endorse something that it's not
directly concerned with?" asked
Foster Witt. "It's a common
legislative function, not one for the
Student Council to express a sympathy
for something not concerning
students."
