Dr. Sevier Eubank
Speaks On Race
Problems-South
By GLEN HAMMIT
Dr. Sevier Eubank emphasized
that force was not the solution to
the recent Supreme Court ruling
at the weekly meeting of the
newly organized discussion group.
He did seem to feel; however
that intergration will eventually
be best for all concerned. Dr.
Eubank showed how the problem
increased as the ratio of Negroes
to whites increased. For example
in the Mississippi Delta the nroh-
lem is much greater than the one
found in Brownwood.
Because of the newer and bet-
ter farm machinery the Negro
is being replaced to an extent
on the Southern farm. Thus the
present trend is for the Negro
to move out of the South Dr. Eu-
bank indicated. If the extremist
do not force the issue he feels
that the South will be able to
solve the problem unassisted.
Taking a middle of the road
stand he cautioned against go-
ing to fast toward complete in
tergration.
In the question and answer
period Dr. Eubank said that he
did not feel that miscegenation
would be a problem. Apparently
the big problem is the ill-feeling
of extremists on both sides
of the issue.
Student opinion seemed to be
concurrent in that the discussion
was thought provoking and
worthwhile. "J thought the dis-
cussion was very informative"
said June Terry. Henry Vegter
thought that it was "very good."
When asked what he thought
about the meeting Leroy Locan
said "It was highly stimulating
and conductive to good thought.
I think more students ought to
attend."
The discussion group meets on
Mondays in the small dining room
of the Girl's Dormitory. The
dinner meeting begins about 5:15;
discussion at 5:45. Dr. Donald
Held group sponsor said "Every-
one is invited."
