A LONG WAY TO 60 Although a beginning has now been made, many Negro stu- dents feel that there is still a long way to go. Frank Thomas gave an apprehensive picture. This is a very dangerous situa- tion. it is the responsibility not only or the Negro students but oi the entire college and the town. The college is going to have more Negro students. Ber ing a Negro in the United States is sometimes discouraging. No one seems really concerned about doing anything 'lhe col. lege and the town being unaware of these inclilenls is itself dis- couraging."

CLAIR _ sometimes known as “circus type” _ became popular in the Midwestern United States around 1875 and is usually used only tor headlines; it “has a grey eiiect in mass use,” according lo a ty- pographers’ handbook or the period. The new head this week on PERSONALS (also page eight) is set in KISMET, designed by Boston printer John Cumming in 1879. Horace Gi‘eeley’s New York WEEKLY TRIBUNE eventually used this type iooe tor its Personals column late in the century. LETI‘ERS TO THE EDITOR and NEWS BRIEFS stel (that is, standing) heads on our editorial pages are set in ALFERTA — perhaps the most interesting of classic American type styles. ALFERTA displays a definite exotic influence with Spanish overtones; it was designed by w. F. Capitaine in 1351. Capitaine went to Chicago iollowing the Great Fire, and Illis lace developed — it is said ~— mm the vivid commentaries he read by the (tree‘s witnesses. ALFERTA can “heat a display,” one modern type book claims. WWMw/swwwss ASSEMBLED from LNS In August 1967, Douglas Tur- ner Ward, a 37-year old black playwright and winner oi an “Obie” tor the best off-Broad- way play of 196657, wrote an arllcle for the N.Y. Times Sun- day theater section. He men- tioned that he would like to work in a Negro oriented theA ater, and as a result, the Ford Foundation approached, and asked him to make a proposal tor the type or theater he en- visioned. With the aid of Negro actor Robert Hooks, and pro- ducer Gerald S. Krone, a white man, an idea was developed. The proposal resulted in a $430,000 grant from Ford, and this past Iall, the Negro En- semble Company was formed. The plays at St. Mark’s Play- house will he directed at Black audiences, hut seventy per cent of the people who have come to see the opening show have been whites. One of NEC’S ma- jor goals is to develop a Negro theater audience. It has Cow centrated its advertising in black localities all over the New York area. It advertises in media which reach black peo« ple and otters special discounts to Negro groups. It has mount- ed a special promotional cam- paign to encourage black the- atergoers. For each perform- ance, it sets aside a block of tickets which can only be sold a half hour belore Curtain lime. This is done because many Negroes, not accustomed to theater gomg, are not in the habit of buying tickets ahead 01' time.
