- Finance S.A. R.C.

How do you finance a conference?
This is the question which must
have plagued conference-planners
from the very beginning. For after

@2i)ynezaey is the back-bone of all

undertakings, and $7500 (the pre-
sent budget of the Conference) is
not easy to come by -- especially
when starting from scratch. |

The’ Conference finance com mit-
tee started out with working capital
in the forms of loans or grants
amounting to $2000 from = the.

The idea for the conference

developed spontaneously on’ both ",

the BMC and Haverford campuses.
Last April Kathy Boudin and Al-
liance thought of. organizing such
a conference, . Meanwhile Alan
Raphael of Haverford considered
the idea of a similar-conference,

and distributed pamphlets with six

possible topics, of which this (civil
rights). received the.most votes.
A permanent committee was
formed and the plan was approved
by the Council,

During May, Kathy and Alan
formed a joint committee. The
bulk of the organizing was done
during the summer,. Thr two col-
leges’ administrations were in-
formed of the plans and gave their
approval of the plans,

The main speakers were sched-
uled and work was started on work-
ing papers. The executive com-
“mittee started a campaign for

From the Conference Chairmen

The Second.-American Revolution has called together over four

- hundred students from colleges in the East, South, and Mid-West,
and more than ‘one hundred adults - all of whom want to study the
efforts now being made to improve the Negro’s position in society

. and to consider the effects of these efforts on the whole of American
society. The subject has been chosen because it critically involves
the entire population of the United States.both in its implications and
its implementation.

It is hoped that this three-day period will promote a better under-
standing of the nature and effect of the Movement. To some it will
present a first contact with the basic issues and problems related
‘to the Movement; for others it will provide an opportunity for a deeper
study into specific issues, especially through the seminar program.

REVEREND FRED L. SHUTTLESWORTH,
of the Southren Conference Educational Fund receives the Rosa
Parks Freedom Award from the lady for which it is named.

Reverend Fred. Shuttlesworth,

*~~Wwho received the Rosa Parks Free- -

dom: Award for his leadership. in
Birmingham, is also the president
of. the ‘Southern Conference
Educational Fund, an organization ~

(Center) President:

SCEF has been working for an
atmosphere of civil liberty, where
people can discuss the resolve

issues of their merits. They are:

trying to replace the clouded at-

mosphere where the words “‘com-"

_.which..was..bopn..in-the-peried-of—~muntst” and “*fed,” for example, _

the Roosevelt New Deal.

‘SCEF started as the-educational
.wing of the Southern Conference
- for Human Welfare. : Both Con-
ferences have been under attack
since 1946. They threatened the
poll tax and the white primary
and, in bringing white Southerners
into action against segregation,
“helped ‘vreak +th~*#supposed ‘sania
white front, according to the SCEF
“ supported newspaper, the Southern
Patriot. ses

are used as bogeymen to frighten

people away from the facts. a

For this reason, and because
‘of their breaking through the ‘‘solid
white front,’ SCEF has undergone
many attacks from government and
police officials, According to the

Patriot, when segregationists are |

most frightened, they cry theo
smunist,?=

SCEF is now used to niet oe
destroy it. In. 1946 Martin Kies

of Texas and John Rankin of

- Mississippi, ‘leaders of the House

Un-American . Activities Com-
mittee, reported to Congress that
the Southern Conference for Human
Welfare was not concerned with
welfare at all, but with com-
munism,

Walter Gellhorn ‘of Columbia
Law School discredited.the report
and HUAC in an article in the
Harvard Law Review in October,
1947, but the report remained
an official document in Congress
and became the basis for further
attacks on SCEF.

SCEF anticipated the 1954 deci-
sion of the Supreme Court against
school segregation and was plan-
ning South-wide programs to en-
courage immediate compliance

with the decision,
At that time Senator J ames East-

land of Mississippi-demanded-con-_

tributor lists from it, but the.
organization risked contempt
citations rather than comply.
Since then there have been fairly
frequent attacks on SCEF, either

__becausé_it_wasstirring- ap -eetion—~

against segregationists or because

segregationists have used it asa .

scapegoat whenever they have us
into trouble.

The latest attack was in Novem-
ber, when state and city police
raided the main office in New
‘Orleans, taking its records and
literature and arresting three
high-ranking officers. © ;

“A new°Orleans judge disutswedt

paper’s staff as a reporter upon

of Missouri in 1941, served brief-

ly as associate editor. Mr. Kil-

patrick succeeded the late Dr.

itor in 1949,

His first book, THE SOVEREIGN,

Righter’s point of view, appeared
in 1957. This was followed in 1959
by THE SMUT PEDDLERS, a study

GATION, In this work, Mr.
Kilpatrick expounded: the position
of Southerners who oppose inte-
gration of the public schools.

Most of Mr. Kilpatrick’s time
is devoted to his editorial writing
for which he has twice won nation-
al awards. One of these awards, the

~ But why segregate the schools?
Mr. Kilpatrick tells us that there
has always . been separation of
races in the South, that ‘‘One did
not intrude upon their -lives or
ask .about..Negro institutions...
one accepted, without question.

to overcome, Mr, Kilpatrick was
, Yaised in this tradition; so_he is—

“aising his sons, He says:that the...

"Negro race, unlike all other races,
has never made a significant con-
tribution to civilization, that their
crime rate is high and that their
morals are loose,

In addition, Negro children do
net test as high as white. To Mr.
Kilpatrick the concept of inferior
and superior races is a valid one,

Mr, Kilpatrick admits that seg-
regation is doomed, that eventually
the South will be defeated once
again. Their very. consciousness
of the Negro is a symptom of the
coming defeat. The Negro now has
a chance to prove himself equal,
Only after this proof--and Mr.
Kilpatrick warns us that it-will be~
a long: while before equality is
proven and Socepted - = will there
be integration,
