(l watched a bird
^As it spanned the sky
With wings of rainbow hue;
It sang a song
As it glided by
Through the realms of azure blue.
A feathef fell
In slow descent
From up above to me;
I picked it up
And pressed it close
In later hours to see.
The song I keep
Within my heart
’Til all alone and blue;
I view the quill
And sing the song
Peace and hope to renew.

Navy Program Will
Be Maintained
Washington—Read Adm. Ran
dall Jacobs, chief of naval per
sonnel, declares “the navy depart
ment has no plans to discontinue”
its college training program.
Jacobs said his bureau “has re
cently received a number of in
quiries concerning reports that
the navy college program may be
stopped.”
In a statement, he declared:
“The U. S. Navy is still ex
panding. The urgent need for
technically trained young officers
continues, and the colleges and
universities participating in the
V-12 program are doing a splendid
job of producing such officers.
While changing wartime condi
tions may, from time to time,
necessitate revision in the quotas
for the program in order to con
form with the needs of the service,
the navy does not contemplate
discontinuance of the program.”

AVMA Meets On
Wednesday Night
Wednesday night, February 23,
at 7:15 o’clock, the Junior Chapter
of the A.V.M.A. will meet in the
amphitheatre of tha Veterinary
Hospital to install its new presi
dent for the second semester and
to make plans for the spring dance.
Arthur L. Hogge, president-elect,
will succeed Dwight Lichty, out
going president, whose term has
expired. Other officers will con
tinue their tenure until the end of
the current semester.
Other business to be considered
includes the appointment of com
mittees for the spring dance and
discussion of finances. All mem
bers are urged to attend. Cigars
will be served.

Man is a hopeful creature and

future only to find himself op
posed by Nature’s whim . . . yes!
Quite a number of plans laid by
ASTP’ers for this past week-end
went agley because the rain, as
usual, had its say—first. However,
may we hasten to assure those
brave but lonely hearts that many
natives of this fair expanse predict
fair weather, on week-ends, begin
ning about the end of March.
Announcements via radio and
newspapers this week-end threw
the rumor machines into high gear
as to the where’s, why’s, when’s,
and how’s of ASTP’ites in the not
too distant future. Solution: Sit
tight and let the “gum-beaters”
blather—official orders will clarify
the situation.
Barring mishap, those promised
pictures of the Junior and Senior
ASTP veterinary students which
were not available when the Slip-
stick went to print will be distrib
uted as inserts either this week
end or the early part of next.
Again the clarion call clamors

Race Problem Is
Discussed in Book
Detroit, Mich.—Segregation is
not the answer to the race problem
in Detroit or anywhere else, assert
Dr. Alfred McClung Lee and Dr.
Norman D. Humphrey of Wayne
university in their new book, Race
Riot.
On the contrary, they state, in
looking for a formula to prevent
a repetition of violent disturbances
which occurred here last June,
“segregation in particular must be
rejected at the outset, since the
only practical preventive course is
one involving thousands of work
able adjustments which will in ef
fect implement the Golden Rule
and permit the growth of healthy
race relations.”
Time and again the authors point
to the fact that in Detroit the dis
turbances were most violent in dis
tricts where conditions approxi
mating segregation prevail. Fur
thermore, they claim, there was
little or no trouble in areas where
Negroes and whites live together
as neighbors.
“We must remember,” they say,
“that the blind hate of intolerance
is a product not of association but
of what sociologists call ‘social dis
turbance.’ Let us never lose sight
of three great lessons of the De
troit tragedy: People who had be
come neighbors in mixed Negro
and white neighborhoods did not
riot against each other. The stu
dents of Wayne university—white
and black—went to their classes in
peace throughout ‘bloody Monday.’
And there were no disturbances be
tween the white and black workers
in the war plants ...”
The conclusion is drawn that only
through living, working, and going
to school together on terms of
equality can the two races solve
the problems arising from bi-racial
ism.

ASTP Noses Out
Air Corps In Hot
Basketball Game
Flying Five Defeated
By Score of 52 to 47
In Extra Five Minutes
In a rough and tumble game,
which more resembled football than
basketball at times, the ASTU
quintet, led by Frey and Hoffman,
defeated the Air Corps five 52-47.
The hotly contested game, one of
the fastest and best seen on the
campus, took a 5 minute overtime
to decide the outcome.
The ASTU five could not find
the range throughout most of the
game, and the Air Corps boys led
nearly all the way.
Both teams started the game
fast with the Air Corps grabbing
the lead with a fast break that kept
Barrick and Manker on their heels.
The Air Corps kept hitting the
bucket to hold a two point lead at
the half—24 to 22.
At the start of the second half
the ASTU pulled up even with the
Air Corps, but this was short
lived due mostly to the accurate,
long range shooting of Karay, who
from his guard position led the
scoring for the evening and kept
the Beavers in the game with his
20 points. Enlivening the second
half of the already heated contest,
was the argument as to whether
Young, Air Corps center, had
fouled out. The referee declared
that from the official score book
Young had four personal fouls.
However the argument around the
scores bench continued until Joe
Buck, ASTU coach, told the ref
eree to let Young go back into
the game. Young fouled again and
was put out of the game with but
a few minutes left to play.
With a few minutes left Coleman
sank a foul shot to give the ASTU
a 2-point lead, however the Air
Corps countered with two minutes
left to tie up the count 43-43. Huff
man and Karay traded baskets,
with Karay swishing another one
of his tallies from near mid-court
in the dying seconds of the game.
The game ended with the score
knotted at 45-45.
A five minute overtime agreed
upon, the teams took to the floor
