Perhaps t he Ibest compliment or at least the most treasured cane from Dr. Mays in his usual short and plain" language. ' He said he thought it was well written and that the position was sound. Dr. Horace Bond explained how actually the Negro pays his share of taxes. A long unsigned letter came from someone with a good mind, but it was twisted an d suffering from an inferiority complex. It was the Pro Civil' War argu a e nt which charged that the Negro had a n odor and wool for hair. If he . had- signed his name I would have answered it, but I’ll just put it in my scrap book. Thera wore no conflicting opin ions at Morehouse. Everyone thought the step was okay, ' but I understand that some of cur esteemed sisters from Spelman questioned the wisdom of su c h action. I cannot say the course wa s wise. I nay have jeopardized ny mo ther's job and that wouldn't be what I intended at all. I understand that some think that the passive appro a c h is the approach that 'Negroes should make. I don't think they understand the passive approach, which really is quite active; the only thing passive a b cu t it is the refusal to resist violence with violence. There is nothing about Gandhi's and M. L. King Jr,''s philoso phy that encourages waiting on slvation.

Standing out .among the girls was Patricia White dressed in a faded, patched short skirt with ragged shirt and desert boots. (Cont'd. on page'6)
