NAACP Will Not Boycott
In Protest This Christmas
The National Association for
ihe Advancement of Colored
seup (NAACP) will not
jonsor a nationwide Christ
las boycott, .according to a
evvs release from the New
York headquarters.
Roy WilMns, executive sec
retary of the NAACP, in a let
ter to Louis E, Lorn ax, said
that "careful thought" was
given to "the problems of
such a consumer strike," but
that such a strike would have
little effect on Birmingham,
Alabama. Lomax, on behalf
of the Writers and Artists for
. Justice, had asked that the
NAACP endorse such a strike
in protest against the recent
racial violence in Birming
ham. Wilkins said that a boycott
would not effect a city such
as Birmingham, whose econ
omy centers around the steel
industry.
He pointed out that a nation

cause of a refusal to answer
questions concerning its mem
bership selection policies.
A faculty committee is in
vestigating possible violations
of the school's non-discrimination
policy. It sent out a
questionnaire which Acacia
refused to return.
University officials hers
have told the Daily Cardinal,
the student newspaper, that
the chapter may be expelled
if it refuses to answer the
questionnaire.
The Cardinal pointed out

the rest of the season so they
will not miss any of the re

This is the third time In re
cent years that the Theater
has been sold out In 1945
there was a sell out for "The
Skin of Our Teeth" and in 1958
for the "Match Maker." Both
of these shows were written
by Thorton Wilder.
"Music Man" is a blend of
oldtime inarches, barbershop

situation in Alabama or the
South generally."
The NAACP he added, be
lieves that "selective buying
campaigns" are most effec
tive in areas in which busi
nesses with unfair employ
ment practices can be boy
cotted. These local strikes
have been effective in the past
and will continue to be used
ia the future.
In addition to being unfair
to businesses that have had
no bearing on the Birmingham
bombings, stated the release,
"it seems unfortunate to furth
er deprave Negro children, al
ready brutalized by segrega
tion, by denying them the
annual joys of a Christmas
tree and toys."

The campaign of Yale stu
dents to register Negro vot
ers in Mississippi in a mock
election designed to empha
size the denial of voting rights
to Negroes is moving into its
second week.
Last week the students can

ing copies of a labor and civil
rights oriented paper that is
mainly sold to Negroes The
Mississippi Free Press and
asked Negroes to come out
and vote for Aaron Henry,;
Negro pharmacist and candi
date for governor. j
But as they intensify their.
drive to bring 200,000 Negroes
to poll booths throughout the
state, the 15 Yale students
who will work in Mississippi'

limited by a lack of funds. '
Money is needed to finance
Dr. Henry's appearance on lo
cal television and radio, to
pay for printing of campaign
pesters and to augment the
salary of Student Non-Violent

in the Malone Community Cen
ter, 2030 T St
Purpose of the meeting, ac
cording to Mrs. Leola Bullock,
president of the Iincoln
NAACP chapter, is to "get
acquainted with the interested
students, and to pave the way
toward final organization of a
student chapter of the NAACP
if there is sufficient student
support."
A similar meeting was held
last spring at the Center with
students from the University,
Nebraska Wesleyan Univers
ity and Union College attend
ing, but because final exams
interfered, organizational
plans were postponed until
now.
Mrs. Katherine Frenchy,
secretary to the Nebraska
Wesleyan Registrar, is in
charge of the meeting. Mrs.
French said it would permit
members of the senior organ
ization to "see what students
think and what their views ar
of the NAACP."
Another sponsor, Dr. Wil
liam W. Mountcastle, asso
ciate professor of philosophy
and religion at Nebraska Wes
leyan, termed the meeting "an
opportunity to determine the
extent of student interest in
NAACP."
Other sponsors of the meet
ing include Prof. A. Stuart
Hall, chairman of the Univer
sity economics department;
Gerald Henderson, assistant
director of the Malone Com
munity Center; and Mrs. Lor-
j sissippi would vote if they
could and it can add a new
dynamism to the Negro move
ment in Mississippi by giving
Negroes there a sense of com
mon purpose, a glimpse of po
tential statewide strength they
have."

whether there would be a n y
connection between the pro

Lincoln group, Prof. Richard
Gilbert, University associate
professor of chemical engi

political action committee of
the Lincoln NAACP, said
there would possibly be some
coordination between meet

but that the student chapter
would not be a part of the
Lincoln chapter.

Panhellenic
Considers
Rush Book
The possibility of a com
bined rush booklet by Panhel
lenic was considered Monday.
The book would save the in
dividual houses quite a large
sum of money, pointed out
Barb Bosse, secretary. The
postage would be combined
and also the larger number
would cut down on cost
The possibility of houses in
serting notes to rushees in the
individual booklets would be
eliminated.
The book would probably al
low four to six pages to each
house, with individual repre
sentatives in charge of each
house's section.
Some of the representatives
felt that there would be a pos
sibility of losing individuality
and a personal approach. It
was also pointed out that
houses usually send only to
those rushees in whom they
are interested and that they
would now be going to every
one going through rush.
Representatives were to
take the idea to their respec
tive houses Monday night to
find out their feelings. Further
discussion will be held after
the houses feelings are dis
covered. Bill Buckley, president of
Interfraternity Council IFC
spoke to the group and asked
that they find three or more
girl? who would be interested
in serving as representatives
of Panhellenic on Fraternity
Management Associa
tion FM). The representa
tives were to ask for vol
unteers in their houses.
