U. S. to Rebuild 
Europe's Schools

Stanford Dean 
Heads Movem ent

Most advanced step yet taken 
| toward international co-operation 
j in the field of education, believes 
Benjamin Fine of the New Y’ork 
I Times, is the appointment by the 
| Department of State of Dr. Gray­
the 
son N. Kefauver, dean of 
School of Education a t Stanford 
' University, as consultant assigned 
I to work on the problem of eduea- 
| tional reconstruction.

For more than a year Ameri­
ca’s leading educators have been 
concerned with establishing an in­
ternational education office 
to 
serve as a vehicle to help rebuild 
the school programs of the Nazi- 
occupied lands. Reports from for­
eign delegates who have attended 
these conferences have indicated! 
that the United Nations would face 
a serious task in rebuilding edu­
cational systems destroyed by the 
Nazis.

*

Washington has kept a watchful 
re­
eye on developments, and 
sponsible educators believe 
this j 
field will be extremely important 
when the war ends. In the past 
State Department observers have 
attended 
international education 
conferences, but the co-operation 
was on an “ unofficial” basis.

Dr. Alonzo F. Myers, chairman 
of the International Education Of­
fice, declared: “ I am happy to 
learn th at our State Department 
is planning to become active in 
this field. Evidently the appoint­
ment of Dean Kefauver does in­
dicate that we may expect rather 
vigorous and constructive action j 
in the m atter of international co- j 
operation on educational matters.” j

“ Design of Machine Members,” for 
which he w'as co-author with V. L. 
Doughtie. University professor of 
mechanical engineering, who re­

and 
marred 
the University holidays 
Wednesday night when five V-12’s 
had a serious automobile accident. 
The boys, all from California, were 
on their way home to spend the 
holidays with their families when 
the accident occurred. The driver 
lost control of the car when one 
wheel went off into a shoulder on 
the edge of the highway approxi­
mately 125 miles east of El Paso 
and the car ran into a ditch.

Three of the occupants escaped 
without serious injury, but two of 
the boys, Lee Collier and John 
Katsufrakis, were not so lucky. 
Both were reported badly hurt, but 
the nature of their injuries was not 
known to authorities here Wednes­
day night. They were moved to the 
Army hospital at Fort Bliss and are 
now receiving medical attention 
there. Their parents have been 
notified of the accident, and the 
three uninjured boys have re ­
turned to Austin.

Tw enty University students—-ten girls and ten boys— 
have been selected by a faculty and student life com­
mittee as members of “ W ho’s Who in American Colleges

These tw enty students represent a diversity of interests. 
Eight of them are independents. The others belong to f r a ­

tivities, and most of the boys are now in some branch of 
the service

Most of them have been involved in campus politics; 
others have become eligible for “ W ho’s W ho ’’ with their 
grades and with their non-political activities.

The chosen tw enty have good g ra d e s; some even have

Comparing w’on and lost record?

Texas and Randolph Field have

why. The big fullback docs almost 
everything with a football. The

opponents’ problem 
out when he will do which and 
how well. Ho can run, pass, and 
kick with almost equal e ffe c tiv e ­

Ju s t bottling up Calahan 
won’t be enough, though, even if 
the Ram blers could do that. How

Jim m y Canady is still sparkling

the holidays and maybe an over­
dose of rest. They w ill work out 
only three days this week, won’t

field against Randolph with Ie??

other hand 
the Ram blers have 
worked out every day except 
Christmas, had a session Sunday 
and a scrimmage Monday, and 
should be at a peak of physical 
condition. The margin won’t be so

When Congress reconvenes J a n u a ry 
IO, the legislators will be asked to re ­
consider a bill which will permit men 
in the armed services to vote in the 1944 
elections under government supervision. 
This bill is of interest to University stu­
dents because its passage or rejection 
will affect many ex-students'immediate­
ly and all of us in future years.

The Senate a lre ad y has defeated the 
Green-Lucas Bill, which would have per­
mitted the soldiers to vote under the 
watchful eye of their Uncle Sam. Now 
the House committee on elections has 
before it a bill similar to the Green- 
Lucas measure which was introduced by 
Representative Eugene Worley of Texas. 
Some definite action is expected on this 
bill within the next few days.

th a t 

feels 

The Texan 

the soldiers 
should be permitted to vote and tha t 
Congress should ma ke some provision for 
their balloting. However, the Texan does 
not believe th a t such voting should be 
under federal supervision.

Certainly the men in uniform should 
have the right to cast their votes in the 
interest of the democratic principles for 
which they are fighting. We would be 
derelict in our duty as civilian citizens 
if we failed to provide our fighting men 
with one of the inalienable rights of the 
citizenship many of them are dying to 
protect. But we might be damag ing 
their futures as freemen if we permitted

to usurp 

the federal government 
the
rights of the states to conduct elections.
Perhaps the most serious bottleneck 
in America’s w a r effort bas been a 
failure on the home front. Much of t h a t 
failure at home can be traced directly 
to the efforts of the Washington bu ­
reaucracy to usurp the rights t h a t once 
belonged to the states and to the people. 
Americans are willing to submit to the 
many necessary regulations of a gov­
ernment at war, but the people are grow­
ing tired of having the executive branch 
of the government dictate needlers edicts 
and take over unheard-of powers.

The move by the Administration to 
permit the soldiers to vote under federal 
supervision ma y be the result of good 
intentions. However, 
the Congress 
•does approve such a bill it can only 
mean t h a t the states have lost a not her 
right and that America has moved one 
step fu r th er away from the democracy 
our armies are fighting to preserve.

if 

Give the soldiers the right to vote, 
certainly. That is the one way t h a t we 
can re p a y our fighting rflen for their 
service, and it is a debt tha t we owe 
them. But let’s keep the voting under 
the control of the states.

The arme d services will give us vic­
tory on the fighting front. It is our duty 
and privilege to give them a victory on 
the home front by returning government 
of, by, and for the people to those who 
gave it birth.— JACK MAGUIRE.

The University of Missouri faced a 
new problem when the st at e ’s Lincoln 
University for Negroes at Jefferson City 
discontinued its de par tm ent s of law and 
journalism because funds for th e ir con­
tinuance were 
lacking. Missouri edu­
cators now are wondering what will 
happ en when Negro students in these 
fields a pp ly for admittance to the Uni­
versity, which has barred 
them here­
tofore.

W h e t h e r Missouri likes it or not, they 
probably will have to admit Negro stu­
dents. The Supreme Court of the United 
States, 
in a test case two years ago, 
ruled t h a t Missouri must provide equal 
educational opportunities for Negroes, 
and the legislature immediately solved 
the problem by establishing professional 
schools at Lincoln. With no funds to 
continue their operation, however, the 
University has no other alternative than 
to accept them.

Commenting on this, the Kansas City 
Star says: “Sooner or later, . . . the Uni­
versity must take down the bars and 
make the best of w h a t it considers a 
bad situation. When that time comes, 
we predict, there will be little or no op­
position from the stu den t body or from 
the general public, and no more at te n­
tion will be paid to a Negro on the 
campus th a n is now paid to a Negro 
in a bus or railroad coach, particularly 
if the Negro students strive to adjust

themselves to standards incident to Uni­
versity circles.”

Missouri's dilemma has caused some 
Texas people to give some th ou gh t to 
the possibility of a similar problem in 
this state. As a pa rt of the Deep South, 
Texas always has barr ed Negroes from 
its institutions of higher learning but 
has at tem pted 
them with 
equal educational advantages. However, 
there has been a slow movement toward 
better opportunities for the Negro in the 
South, and it has had some effect in 
Texas.

to provide 

No Negro has applied for admission 
to the University of Texas as yet, but 
when such an application is made (as 
it surely will be ), Texans should be 
ready to an swer the problem. It will be 
much be tter if Texas educators and the 
Texas citizenry makes provision for this 
eventuality now instead of waiting for 
the Supreme Court to decide it for them.
W h a t the final an swer will be re­
mains to be seen, but this much is cer­
tain. The logic of events is on the side 
of recognizing the Negro as an Ameri­
can citizen, not only in industry and 
transportation but in colleges and uni­
versities whenever he meets the recog­
nized tests for fitness or service. There* 
fore, Texas and its educational system 
should be pr e pa re d for what eve r the 
new sociological changes demand.

For the first time in its 9-year history,
the annual Cotton Bowl Classic will pit
a service team against the Southwest
Conference Champion. Randolph Field.
with its all-American Glenn Dobbs, will
be formidable opposition for our Long­
horns.

This will be the third game played 
during \\ orld 
\\ ar II. Last year the 
O F A. sent out warnings th a t holders 
of B and C gasoline ration cards who 
drove their automobiles to Dallas and 
parked near the Cotton Bowl stadium 
would be investigated for wasting gaso­
line. This year, no such threat has been 
made.

But t h a t does not ma ke it excusable 
for six thousand University of Texas 
leave schoolwork behind
students 

to 

them and make the long trek to Dallas, 
tying up the three m a jo r means of t ra n s ­
portation.

When the government took over the 
ra ilr oa d' in Texas, it did so with ease, 
and the change was ha rdly noticed. We 
urge the student body to stay in Austin, 
so t h a t troop trains and vital freight 
will not be interfered with.

Backing the team is always a g re a t 
delight. But this year, with the w a r still 
far from being won, University students 
have a more 
important job t h a t they 
must do. W inning the w a r and winning 
the Cotton Bowl game this year are both 
very important. \\ e must not sacrifice 
one for the other. All of us can root for 
the Longhorns right here at home and 
f u r th e r the cause of winning the war 
at the same time.— A. R. HOWARD
