Today's
Discuss
Review, The Atlantic Monthly,
Harper's and TheTew Republic.
He is the author of Southern
California Country, an intense
study of the factors that make up
one segment of our country.
To McWilliams, the treatment
of racial minorities in the United
States is not merely a domestic
problem but has far reaching in
ternational repercussions.
Scientific Fact.
Urging the necessity for estab
lishing a new policy on minorities,
McWilliams says that it must be
based on scientific fact and not
upon a "miscellaneous collection
of old wives' tales and supersti
tions," and must also be based
upon the American conception of
citizenship. The author bf "Broth
ers Under the Skin" and other
outspoken books on the subject
of minorities' rights points out
that the scientific facts show that
there are no pure races in the
world; that people differ only
slightly biologically; that there is
no superior or inferior race; and
Three Students
Help Save Lives
In 2-Alarm Fire
Three university students were
responsible for possible saving of
lives in Lincoln's most serious
two-alarm fire of the year in the
Weber block, southwest corner of
14th and P, early Tuesday morn
ing. Don Berquist, Chick Story and
Jack Hill rushed into the burn
ing building when they saw
flames break out, shortly before
midnight, to rouse sleeping ten
ants. About $40,000 in damage was
done by the fire, for which seven
fire trucks and the off-shift duty
firemen wore pressed into serv
ice.
The fire started underneath the
stairway on the first floor. It
ways and entered more than 20
sleeping apartments o n the sec
ond and third floors.

Christmas Seal
Sale Campaign
Opens Today
The Tuberculosis Christmas
Seal Campaign, carried on by the
Tassels, to help raise funds for
the prevention and cure of tuber
culosis, will open on campus Wed
nesday, December 3. The drive
will continue until December 10.
The sale of TB seals was in
augurated last year in order to
buy a mobile X-ray unit for Lan
caster County to be available for
student X-rays each year. In the
past the university borrowed the
mobile unit from the Nebraska
state health department.
Representatives from Tassels
will collect contributions from or
ganized and unorganized houses,
and seals will be sold at a booth
in the unioon.
To stimulate donations, a plaque
will be placed in the Union with
the names of organizations whose
members contributed 100 per cent
with a $1.00 donation from each
person.
Proceeds from the sale of these
stamps pay for the X-rays stu
dents take each rfall.
Convo
Racism
there is no correlation between
race and culture.
The problems of racial minor
itiesin this country have been
given impetus by the war, Mc
Williams says. There has been a
noteworthy geographical change
in the districution of minority
races, that racial minorities made
significant economic gains during
World War II because of the
"total" war effort needed in the
struggle, and also because of the
new concepts gained by members
of the minority groups in their
services with the armed forces.
Ominous Signs.
Ominous signs today, according to
McWilliams, are the renewal of
the Ku Klux Klan, and renewed
attacks of violence upon Negroes
which have gone completely un
punished. One of the threats to
democracy, he warns, will be
made thru power politics utilized
by demagogues.
"In the atomic age," McWilliams
says, "The only real security we
have is the ability to create good
will among the peoples of other
countries." He advocates the cul
tivation of readlscience of human
relationes internationally. He
urges the establishment of a hu
man relations council every com
munity to better racial conditions.
"It is not racial difference that
is the problem," he says, "But it
is what people are led to believe
about it."
