Page Six SCARLET AND BLACK Friday, April [6. IVES b ‘We Don'i Serve Mixed Groups' (Continued from Page 3) places is only nominal, Walk into the Pancake House down- town in a mixed group and you will shortly hear the words: "I’m sorry. we don't serve mixed groups. it you will sit at separate tables. I'll be glad to serve you.” Or perhaps the waitress will put down three plates for the three Negroes and ignore the white person, saying: “I have to serve them but I don't have to serve you," an erroneous assumption. The question why? is unanswerable and out of place in this situa- tion. One white Mississippiau said that all the Negroes he knew would like to get their hands on James Meredith for forcing the situation the way he did. A white middle class couple told us of a social structure in which a good name was the most im- portant thing. This is the aris- tocracy and the good name is its tradition. Here the place of the Negro is in the homeY the white home. This position pm~ yides honor, security, and live- lihood for the Negro. He is treated with dignity and respect in his subservient role. But what about the Negro with a college education? Flash cards again, but no answer. Then they say Negroes have only been ex DISCOUNT CENTER posed to civilization for IOU years; consequently, their so» cial customs and education have not evolved to the degree of the White institutions. But isn't it rather that fliese things have been held back and isn't education really something to be gained Within the lifetime of each individual and not some- thing which evolves? Again the flash cards, but no answelx But there is light even in this darkness. There is a feeling of guilt about the crimes of Philae delphia and Selma. Sheriff Rainey and his cohorts do not represent the South and their actions are inexcusable and uns justifiable. In some places there is a certain pride attached to having a decent relationship with a Negro. And recently, the most influential businessmen’s organization in Mississippi has officially approved the Civil Rights Bill as right, good. and necessary, but perhaps only at the threat of suspension oi fed- eral aid. In conclusion, as was noted in New Orleans, the confeder- ate flag still flies front and center in the parade, but now there is a Negro in the band that is playing Dixie. Grinnell students Meg Eluhm, Cynthia Brust. Mike Fort and Jim Stephens are now in resi- dence at LeMoyne.

Tuesday evening Dr, Howard Claassen spoke to an ACS meeting on this interesting top- ic. Dr. Claassen, oi the depart ment or physics at Wheaton Col- lege, gave a brief history or work on the rare gas elements, describing in detail research at the Argonne National Labora» iory. ' The history of rare gases be- gan in 1894 when argon was first isolated from air. By 1900 all the “inert" gases had been discovered. Claassen indicated that the notion of their ”inert- ness” has been doubted from time to time since their dis- covery. Claassen described the activ- ity and surprises ot the re- search lab as a group of scien- tists worked to synthesize the first clearly identified rare gas compound—xenon tetrafluoride. With a laugh he told of a by- product which formed in the traps of the apparatus and ex- ploded when warmed. \ During the question period Dr. Claassen answered the ex pected — “What uses do these rare gas compounds have?"— With a calm “The research sci- entist doesn't usually think oi such things. News Scottish Folksinger Tomorrow night will see the Scottish, iolksinging soprano Jean Redpath featured in two Esperanto programs in the South Lounge of the Forum. The first program will start at 10:00, the second at 11:20. Miss Redpath, according to her publicity, defies classifica tion as a vocalist. She has been typified as a traditional singer with a highly trained voice as well as a revival interpreter with a voice that is like a nat- ural, untrained instrument, Dicyanocarbene The synthesis of a new reac- tive Chemical intermediate, dis cyanocarbene, was reported in the March, 1965, issue of the Journal of the American Chem— ical Society by two Grinnellians — Jack Swenson (chemistry) and Donna Renaud. Miss Renaud is a [964 Grin- nell graduate and is now doing advanced study in biochemistry at Western Reserve University. Dicyanocarbene was success- fully synthesized and identified for the first time during a full- time research program carried out by the two last summerl The research program was jointly sponsored by the college and the National Science Foun- dation Briefs SUI CeIIisI Sunday Joel Krosnick, cellist in the ilowa String Quartet and a member of the University oi lowa music iaculty, will join the Lenox Quartet, Grinneli's quartet—in-residence, for a corn cert here Sunday at 3 pm in Roberts Theatre. Schubert's Quintet in C Ma- jor, Opus 163, will feature Kms- nick along wirh the regular members of the Lenox group. This will be the second of the two works to be played, the other being Haydn's Quartet in E~flat, Opus 33, No. 2 (“The Joke”). Birth of a Nation The controversial movie, “Birth of a Nation," will be shown in ARH auditorium at S p.1'n. Saturday and 10 p.m. Sun- day “The Civil War drama has seldom been portrayed more vividly than in this historical and artistically famous film epicl The South, burned and ravaged, is shown struggling against the Northern carpet- baggers,” Bob J oh n st o n. movies chairman, stated. The iilm was originally pro- duced as a “Silent” in 1915 by D. W. Griffith The present ver- sion has a sound-track including music and sound effects. WHERE YOU NEVER PAY RETAIL !
