Carter Cites Change
In South's Racialism
A "real moral and social the editor explained that the cur-..v,-
ir, th Smith attitude ; rent Southern reform program
toward the Negro was cited Fri
day by Hoddirrg Carter, Missis
sippi editor and the first convoca
tion speaker of the year.
Addressing a University convo
cation Friday, Carter warned a
large audience that "intolerance
is not a Southern vice exclusively.'-
He emphasized a "new respon
sibility," "an enlightened inter
est.' and a "growing public concern-'
over the race problem in
the South. Yet, he pointed out,
"intolerance for the unlike" is "on
the whole horizon of the country. '
Reports Progress
The editor of the Delta Demo
crat Times said that the majority
of Southern people are aware of
Negro problems and that progress,
though slow, is being made.
"There are more persons ac
tively interested in race problems
in the South than in probably any
other part of our country," Carter
remarked, "but Americans should
concentrate on tensions wherever
they exist."
Carter reported Southern prog
ress on the Negro's earning power,
his health, bis education and, to
a lesser degree, his constitutional
rights of citizenship. He pointed
out that these opportunities are
the "primary goal" of the South
and not the abolishment of segre
gation. "There is no mass white south
ern support of a policy to do away
with segregation," Carter re
marked. "Federal force on that
problem may lead to tragic re
mits." 'Outside Pressures Disliked '
"Southerners do not kindly take
ouUside pressures, particularly
from the federal government,"
commented the newspaperman. "I
personally doubt the efficacy of
the Civil Rights program," he
said, "for government can not
legislate against the real causes of
intolerance: ignorance, contention,
folk history, etc."
Calling for "first things first,"
NU Journalism
Scbool Gives
Press Award
The Delta Democrat-Times,
Greenville. Miss, edited by Hod
ding Carter, has been awarded
the fourth annual award in
newspaper making by the Uni
versity's School of Journalism.
Dr. William F. Swindler, head
of the School of Journalism an
nounced the presentation, citing
the stundout points of the paper
which brought them recognition.
The award was given to the
Greenville paper because of its
"efforts lo serve its community
through vigorous and independ
ent editorial action, and through
its conception of the newspaper
as a laboratory for testing sug
gested solutions of agricultural
and sociological probleris which
particularly apply to the region
it serves."
The award is given to several
newspapers each year in the be
lief that it is part of the process
of education of journalism to
call attention to outstanding
achievements of the good jour
nalism practice. This may be In
service to the community or
some conspicuous improvement
of the newspaper itself, or both.
! will help to create educational op
portunities, better hygiene and
more equalized economic condi
tions. He cited a need for an ac
j tive two-party system.
"As an American, I am dis
turbed bv thelack of understand
ing of my part of the country. A
misinterpretation of the South is
' created by news reports and by
' the politician's appeal to hates,
animosities and differences."
! The editor's home town, Green
1 ville. Miss., was used by the lec
turer as an example of Southern
progress. Schools and swimming
pools for both laces were built by
the town. Industry, cattle-raising
and a greater variety of crops
have replaced the "one crop
(cotton) economy" there.
Carter said a fight against dis
ease has been successful: Negro
i business establishments have
' flourished; religious cooperation
is obvious.
"There have been no lynching
or lynching attempts in Greenville
for forty years," emphasized the
editor. "Things are happening,
very real things," he said, "and
progress is accelerating."

MusEters helpless in
22-7 Uout by Lions
BY JF.RRY WARREN.
The Nittany Lions of Penn State, unveiling a bruising
line and a sparkling passing attack, crushed the Nebraska
Cornhuskers, 22-7 at State College Saturday. The score was
not as one-sided, as the Minnesota score but in statistics it
was the worst defeat suffered by the Huskers this year.
Penn State's veteran laden for- i "
ward wall completely smothered
Nebraska's ground attack and
held Fran Nagle, ace Husker
passer, to three completions in
19 attempts. The Lions intercepted
lour of Nagle's aerials.
To show how outclassed the
Huskers were. Penn State's line
held the red shifted runners to a
net of 15 yards gained by rush
ing. Two of the successful passes
thrown by Nagle went to Nick
Adduci for no gain. The third, a
fourth quarter flip to game cap
tain Bob Schneider, covered 15
yards.
Clark Again
Ron Clark again added a spark
of brilliance to a dull Nebraska
afternoon. Early in the second
half, the Ravenna, Nebraska, scat
back took a Lion punt on his own
18 and streaked the remaining 82
vards for a score behind bcauti-
! ful blocking by his team mates,
Rich Yost converted to total seven
points for Nebraska.
Penn State scored first mid
way in
the first period aft,er
threatening twice. Dick Goeg
j lein, Lincoln tackle, snuffed a
r.inn rallv inst hofnie the Penn
State touchdownvby falling on a
fumble on the one-yard line
A thiity yard Penn State drive
followed "Clark's punt and was
climaxed by Bill Luther's five
yard scoring sprint. Drazenovich
converted to put the Nittany Lions
ahead 7-0.
Penn State scored their second
TD with seven minutes remaining
in the first half on a 13 yard
pass from Luther to John Smid
ansky The Lions got the chance
to score when Gerry Ferguson
fumbled on an attempted , kick.
State took the ball on the Ne
braska 25 and advanced it to pay
