MAROON TIGER
January, 1948
By J. PRESTON COCHRAN
Now fellows, here’s a column that
promises to have some deep under
lying significance. Darned if I know
what, though. This issue marks the
beginning of this column on the lit
erary horizon and herein you may
find invaluable advice given to you
(for free), by one of Morehouse’s
most sensible and intelligent addi
tions to the Tiger staff.

IF THE RUMOR is true, and it
it doubtful if it is, men will be seen
sporting fancy checked dotted vests
on campuses with yellow shoes and
bright green SPATS. Alpaca coats
will become popular, and jackets will
be designed to give the young col
legiate -the appearance of Paul Bun-
yan or the entire Yale eleven. For

Perhaps you didn’t know it, but
Bull Moose’s “I Love You, Yes I
Do” is not as new as one might
think. The version (as sung by most
Morehouse men before Xmas), I
heard was “I Love You, Yes I Did.”
Of course these might be two dif
ferent songs. . . . Cheapskates!!!
Baskin: Why do you call my date
“Blackie” when her name is Betty?
Hylton: Oh, we all call call her
“Blackie” because she goes with any

NS A Gains Favor
(Continued from Page One)
389,000 students in 356 colleges and
universities.
The constitution was adopted at
this meeting. Since that meeting
many student bodies and student
councils throughout the nation have
ratified the constitution and paid their
annual fee to become full-fledged ac
tive members of the NSA. THE
MOREHOUSE COLLEGE STUDENT
BODY HAS NOT. Realizing that the
general drift of thought here at
Morehouse centers around SCHO
LASTICISM, the Maroon Tiger ven
tured forth to arouse the interest of
the students in such an organization
as NSA by posing various ques
tions. However, in an effort to stim
ulate interest, we asked: “Are you
in favor of Morehouse College’s
joining the NSA?” Following are a
few brief comments on this vital is
sue from students selected at ran
dom:
HAROLD B. CRUTCHFIELD,
JUNIOR, BALTIMORE, MD.-“A
more complete understanding of the
workings of other educational sys
tems would result from our joining
NSA.”
NAPOLEON B. JOHNSON, SOPH
OMORE, ATLANTA, GA.—“I think
it is a wonderful idea and would
provide our student body with a
broader perspective.”
ARTHUR BROWN, FRESHMAN,
CHARLESTON, S. C.—“Sounds good
to me. Seems like a good method
to be employed in bettering race re
lations too.”
LEROY SHROPSHIRE, SENIOR
DOUGLAS VILLE, GA. — “Other
schools have benefited by joining. I’m
sure our joining would reap the same
benefits.”
BENNIE C. WARD, SOPHO
MORE, CINCINNATI, OHIO.—“Cer
tainly our joining an organization of
such calibre would heighten our sense
of responsibility as future leaders in
our democracy.”
CLARENCE G. LITTLEJOHN,
JUNIOR, GAFFNEY, S. C.—“Why
not? Morehouse has always been a
political-minded school. I see no rea
son why we shouldn’t give our whole
hearted support to such a worthy
organization.”
The following are a number of the
most important functions which the
USNSA proposes to adopt: (1) Af
filiation with the International Un
ion of Students which meets in
Prague. (2) Adoption of a program
to strengthen student government
systems throughout the nation. (3)
A program for the advancement of
Student Cultural Welfare. (4) The
USNSA will also encourage a well-
rounded program of student activi
ties on each campus such as improv
ing student-union buildings and pro
grams. (5) Encouragement of a pro
gram for more widespread student
part-time employment. (6) A pro
gram for student housing has also
been adopted and is going into ef
fect. (7) Already the NSA has rep
resentation on the United States
Commission of UNESCO. This rep
resentative is contacted by the U. S.
Commission of UNESCO whenever
the opinion of the American student
is desired by this international body.
(8) The NSA also advocates a pro
gram of federal aid to the individ
ual student who is scholastically
qualified but financially unable to se
cure a higher education, aid which
will be granted without regard for
race, religion, sex or political be
lief. The USNSA also, along this
line, condemned educational discrim
ination because of race in the south
as well as throughout the nation.
With such a program as this, it is
believed that more students will lend
their support by INSISTING that
the Morehouse College Student Body
obtain membership in this body.

Question: Are you in favor of emer
gency aid to Europe?
James Herndon, senior, Birming
ham, Ala.—“I am very stringently
opposed to our present plan of emer
gency aid to Europe, as embodied
in the Marshall Plan, because it does
not make friends for us and works
counter to the spirit of the United
Nations Organization. I look upon
the Marshall Plan as another exam
ple of American imperialism seeking
to influence the nature of European
social, political and economic insti
tutions. Aid should, however, be ex
tended to all European countries—
with popular representation in their
governments expressing the people’s
will—under supervision of the Unit
ed Nations Organizations.”
John A. Hill, freshman, Cleveland,
Ohio—“I feel that emergency aid to
Europe will solve a two fold pur
pose. First it will aid the cause of
democracy in the war torn countries
of Europe; second, it will help to
put the European people back on
their feet.”
Edwin S. Anderson, freshman,
Dallas, Tex.—“Yes. It is, in my opin
ion, good for aiding the cause of
democracy, and feeding and provid
ing other necessities for the op
pressed people of Europe. On the
other hand it is bad in that the peo
ple who receive this aid must not
have any dealing with communism.
This is in a sense unfair because we
are forcing our ideals on others.”
Walter W. Hill, senior, Montgom
ery, Ala.—“I am not in favor of
emergency aid to Europe because it
is my belief that the aid does not
reach the people that are really in
need of it. As an example, in Italy
I saw much of UNRRA materials
not going to the people in need, but
to the clas'ses of people that really
did not need help. If the problem is
ironed out where the aid is sure to
go to the people that are in need of
it, then I would be in favor of it.
It is known by people of other coun
tries that the United States is a
very rich country. Because of this,
the other nations are not so appre
ciative because they consider it our
duty to aid them.”
A. Romeo Horton, sophomore,
Monrovia, Liberia—“I have assumed
this position towards the Marshall
Plan. My statement here is not as
an American, since I am not one,
but as a citizen of the world since
the situation, in Europe both concerns
and effects the whole world. I think
that it is wonderful and Christian
like to lend aid to oppressed and
starving people, but I think that the
Christian attitude is broad and seeks
to lend aid to people anywhere who
need aid; whether in Europe, India,
China or Africa. I think that the mo
tive should be purely for the sake
of giving and not for the ulterior
motive of encouraging the receiver
to follow some particular policy or
preventing them from following one
that is opposite that of the giver. I
think that if democracy is practiced
in its true sense the benefits will be
so many and so valuable that no one
will have to impose it on others. The
Marshall Plan is a good one and I
am in favor of it if its motive is to
give aid to those in need.”
ONE PROFESSOR at Indiana Uni
versity puts it to his students
straight.
He said, “Of course, you people
are entitled to your own beliefs.” He
stopped and smiled gently. “But it
would be much more diplomatic if
you all would agree with me.”
