(IMltor’s note: This is the second of tno articles on what has happened during the six school years since Indianapolis —> “The Most Southern city of the North” —begun the racial desegregation of its public schools, and on bow the city prepared and carried out the integration program.) i By HORTENSE MYERS INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — 'improved race relations didn’t just happen. It has taken, and it takes, constant emphasis on the brotherhood of men.” J I ' The speaker is Dr:' Russell- A. veteran Negro educator and principal of Crispus Attucks high school, located in a completely Negro school district of Indianap olia and consequently the only noninterracial public secondary school in the city. , Yet, the very tact that Crispus Attucks is all - Negro, combined with a situation peculiar to Indiana, has smoothed the path. °f desegregation in Indianapolis. | The peculiar situation is that in the Hoosier state, the pinnacle of publicly-acclaimed success for a high school is not to produce prisewinning scholars; it is to win the state basketball championship. In 1955, the Crispus Attucks quintet broke a 44-yaar drought for the schools of the state capital and won the title; last March they repeated their success. ■><’■ Most of Indianapolis is proud of the Attucks Tigers' basketball

record and of the way the team and the school bars taken the honors in stride. L. V. Phillips, commissioner of the state athletic association, noted that sports alone does not create good race relations, "but it gives an opportunity th demon- | strate fair play, probably not %vaijI able in any other activity-?.. He ' added! • - v - ••1 don’t kndw of any champion who has handled victory aa well as Attucks baa." > . I Dr. H. L. Shibler. Indianapolis superintendent of public schools, was even more He said: ! > “the coach. the principal, the faculty, the team and the student body have acted like real chdm-.; pions and raised the prestige Ad the whole Negro race in white eyes.” ' Dr. Laue., explained, modestly that good sportsmanship is an underlying part of education for everyone in the school. ...t But while sports has played a unique role in Indianapolis, it certainly has not been the moat Important one in the smooth integration of the city’s public schools, t The leaders bf the program" are agreed that the factors which count the most are lessobvious but involve every rnemW of the faculty, the students, parents, the community and the outside world. Dr. James H- Peeling, head of the department of sociology at Butler Dulvdrirtty in Indianapolis, suggested the following as having influenced the program: J 3 Integration in the U. S. military forces. Improved economic opportunities for Negroes, the work of Flanner House, and the fact that legislation mandating desegregation came at a time “when the people were fairly ripe for it.” Flanker House, founded in 1898, has been a focal point of both whites and Negroes working together on problems Tkcdd -primarily by Negro families. ; ' The president of its board of directors is the nationally-known news-papertnam Eugene S. Pulliam. Asked foF his evaluation of Flanner House’s impact on the integration program, Pulliam said: “1 think its actual impact hah been mostly through individual efforts of the people who work there. But remember Indianapolis didn’t try to do the iking night." ‘■ t! — ‘The same stress bn individual effort as opposed to broad organizational work w*s ftiddb by dth'er praised the nearffSX) tes’chefs in thee tty's-school sy* I Before the integratibn program began in September, 195 fr? r W | chologist who specialised In School I problems talked to groups of teachers to prepare them tor any''of the possible problems that might crop Up." ~ I Dr. Shibler commented: ; “The faculties’ hive been ver/ S' ood at watching for trouble, stoping it btefirtw ft stkrtii. khdTttaen '-I removing .' The superintendent ’ also attributed much of the ’ Smoothness of desegregation in Indianapolis io an interschool student council, in which two students from each high school meet monthly to discuss mutual problems: ißacial relations ' is one of them. Parent-teacher associations and I citizens’ advisory groups also were cited for their educational work I by Dr. Shibler. Philip Winkfield, director of a job opportunities program for Negroes sponsored by the American friends service committee in Indianapolis, felt Indianapolis had done an excellent job in its school Integration program. But he added: " ' ' ’ “We can’t sit on our laurels here. The forces of good have a responsibility to stay ahead.” New York — One-half the patients in hospitals in the U.S. suffer mental aihnents.

Funds for , its construction already have been provided through a nationa-ide -''Building for Christ" drive conducted last year by the Lutheran ehurch-Mlssouri synod. Congregations of the 2-mflllbh-member denomination provide the main support-of the »7-year-old sniversHy, which currently has 2,200 students enrolled in arts and sciences, )aw7 ahd engineering courses. The combination chapel-auditor-ium will overtook the transcontinental highway, U. -8 Route 30, from a 50-toot knoll at the exact center of the school’s 120-acre campus, 45 miles southeast of Chicago in Porter County, Ind. The' holding's central position on the campus will symbolize “The school’s emphasis of the Christian gospel's centrality in the individual’s education,” commented President Kretzmann. ‘-"It will reflect the fact that American higher education is beaming increasingly aware of the relevance of the Christian gospel in all academic disciplines," be ' Designed for daily matins and vespers along with its purposes, the chapel-mtditorium will also be used for major symphonic and choral concerts, the president e&phasized.

An additional $200,000 has been I contributed by the Valparaiso Universlty Guild and individual don- ; ors. Sauerman pointed out that Lutherans purchased the university 1 for less than $500,000 in 1925. kt a time when its physical assets required considerable expenditures for rehabilitation. \The university's total assets now surpass sl6 million, and buildings valued at $25 million are being planned, Sauerman said. These Include in the immediate future, a new library, a fifth men’s dormitory, a president’s home, a deaconess chapter house, an addition to the engineering laboratory; and new fraternity and sorority houses, Sauerman added.

Halt Police Escort Here For Funerals Chief of police James Borders announced today that because the city police department is understaffed it will be impossible in the future to provide escort services for funerals. Borders indicated regret at finding it necessary to suspend the service but stated that it is absolutely necessary to do so since the force is understaffed. He pointed out that there 4* only one patrolman on duty, during the first shift five days a w#ek," and no patrolmen two days of the week. He added that in order to keep the two important night shifts adequately manned it was necessary to cut down the day staff. The new policy will remain in effect until more men are added to the department.
