N ixon's Sllonf M ajority’

Recently an opinion poll concerning (he disposition of (he Langston Student Government vacancies of President and Vice-President Editorials was held. Notices were posted a week prior to (he polling date; notice was cited in the Langston Letter one week prior to polling date, however, flie “silent majority” again achieved its goal through fee die hard art of hypocrisy. Ten per cent of the total student body participated. Ibis shows the concern when something of significant value is disregarded as such. This is one vivid example of the “ silent majority” that exists, and becomes loud for instant stardom purposes only! Awareness of the fact that voting is a privilege is considered as is criticism. If no criticism is displayed, then the accomplish­ ments of the group to be criticized are of little interest to critics or interested persons. “Silent majority,’’ WAKE UP! Come to life and be seen as well as heard, every day instead of periodic celebrity appearances. Be aware, every day of the world around you, so meaningful participation can liquidate participation ttiat has no bearing on the subject material of the outstanding issues. Being an authority on facts can only be a reality through in­ vestigation and research, not “ just* observation alone. An intelligent approach through understanding is non-characteristic of the silent majority alftough they may have knowledge enough to participate. Only through persistent participation can the silent majority AWAKEN! o ■f. by Paul Forte’, Jr..

Questions Sen. Terrill

FEASIBILITY OF LANGSTON U.

As proposed or suggested by Senator Majority Leader A1 Terrill, a Democrat from Lawton, Oklahoma, “ that a study be made as to the feasibility of retaining Langston University.” is the point we are questioning. As citizens of this area, we are demanding that it be retained. Our observation and progress reports from die institution include the following: L That it provides opportunities for higher educational growth and leadership for Negro students which they would not have at a much J&tger institution. White students in this area are also benefited. \ 2. That quality work is being done by the Langston University faculty. This is evidenced by the fact that students are going from Langston for advanced degrees to Indiana University, Harvard, Yale and other universities. 3. That records show more Doctorial degrees have been earned by Langs tonne's than any other university comparable to its size. 4 . That the institutional facilities and resources for learning are developing at an increasing rate. 5. That faculty members are sent to school for advanced degrees with full pay in an effort to continually improve the quality of instruction. Are the Lions Gonna to Win ?

LU Hosts Lincoln 22nd

IT'S PARENTS* DAY------GAME TIME IS 2 P. M. S p o r t s LINCOLN UMIW RSm r STOW

Lincoln University of Missouri had its beginning in January, 1866 when an organization was established for setting up a school, known as Lincoln Institute, by the soldiers and officers of the 62nd U.S. Colored Infantry. The school formally became a state institution with the deeding of the property to the State of Missouri in 1879. In 1887 college work was added; three years later it became a land grant college and in 1891 industrial and agricultural courses were add­ ed to the curriculum. In 1921 the name was changed to Lincoln University. In September, 1954 Lincoln University opened its doors to any qualified person who wished to enroll. Today Lincoln University of Missouri is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and offers degrees through the masters in selected fields. Larry McGee The University's principal responsibility, as it was a century Odell Lawson ago, is the individual—to accommodate, encourage and protect his individuality, while maximizing his potential for a rewarding, satisfying life.

Head coach of the Lincoln University Tiger football team is Dwight Reed. He is start­ ing his twenty-first year at the Jefferson City school. This season Reed will be out to add victories to his life-time record of 124-72-6. Last year his squad won eight while losing two. A native of Saint Paul, Minnesota, Reed played on the "Golden Gopher" cham­ pionship teams at the University of Min­ nesota in 1935-36-37. Reed also serves as Lincoln University's Director of Athletics and track coach. Levell Mill Kenneth Rowland Ronald Pendarvis
