THE ORACLE SAYS COLLEGES LACK INTEGRITY Speaking recently before a conference of the Association of American Colleges, Pr. Kenneth I, Brown, head of the or- wanization, asserted that American col- lewes and universities lack integrity. He save they are more interested in getting asddlitional buildings than good faculty .members and are guilty of neglecting the ntéfectual and spiritual sides of campus Dr. Brown charged that colleges com- petfor students in unethical ways, fac- uty members break solemn contracts at will and college presidents seek the com- pony of rie widowsrto get funds to con- teuet buildings and dormitories. He sug- gests that the ethics of the counting-house BAA the code of competition have replac- 4 Nigher standards once common in edu- "*4t ix a rather serious charge which Dr. brings against the institution of higher learning. He says that “lack of integrity’ has brought college inte disrepute. He says that the « stress the development of the in- tudent and picture a curriculum concerned with the development dent. By contrast, he says: when one listens in on trustee when one watches the eager- dent as he scurries around the eeking the company of rich when one sees the photographs ttth the college publishes, one gathers refutabl impression that the item cern for the administration is aturing of the individual, but rye spacious, attarctive build- Asking fora quickening of the aca- cienee,” Dr. Brown asserted time ripe for an integration be- education and religion.

Sotit was with Tampa, which had to be remindéd that it had been incorporated in 1849, 100 years ago. Up to the time preceding the trek- king of cigar factories from Key West to Tampa, that “city” was composed of a few houses huddled in the vicinity of Franklin street, crossing which one sank’ to his ankles in sand. Tampa began to perk up when Martin Ybor in 1887 was offered a large tract of land if he would move from Key .West to Tampa. He accepted the offer and foundéd that section of Tampa that is still called Ybor City. When Ybor left Key West, it was the largest city in Florida and maintained that lead till the year 1890. Jacksonville then stepped out front. The big fire in Key West in 1886 and a series of strikes among local cigarmakers accelerated the movement of factories from Key West to Tampa. Leaders in that city, particularly Peter O. Knight, en- visioned the economic benefits that would ensue by making Tampa’s cigar industry the largest in the country for the manufac- ture of clear Havana cigars. So the leaders offered owners of factorries in Key West not only the sites for the factories but the construction of the factories also without cost to the owners. , The E. H. Gato Cigar Company, established in Key West in 1876, was made flattering offers to remove to Tampa, but allof them were rejected. Other large manufacturing companies, with a few ex- ceptions, accepted the offers during the 1890s, so that by the end of the century, Key West’s cigar industry was merely a shadow of what it had been, As the factories left, so did cigar- makers, numbering several thousands. Tampa’s blow to Key West had a double effect—reduced the number of factories here and cut down the city’s population by one-quarter. Today Key West, which’ had 104 large and fairly large factories when cigar manufacturing here was atits peak, is to- day without a single large factory. The factories now operating here are what cigarmakers call buckeyes, some of which produce clear Havana cigars. 5 Many eats are without tails, as if you didn’t know.

The vindication that many defeated politicians seek is closely associated with with pay, emoluments and_ prerequisites of public office. AMAZING GENEROSITY If Congress heeds the budgetary re- quests of the President, it will cost the people of this country $6,700,000,000 to give assistance to foreign countries, with out making any allowance for expendi- tures that may comein connection with j the proposed North Atlantic defense ar- rangement. As we have stated before, never in the history of the world has any nation so liberally poured its resources into. foreign countries for the benefit of other peoples. The sole justification of this expenditure of American funds isto be found in the belief that, in any future world’ conflict, the beneficiaries of our generosity will help us defend the ideals of American civilization. This civilization, by the way, is large- ly an inheritance from the Anglo-Saxon race. It differs considerably from | the in- herited cultures of other races and other peoples and nobody buta simpleton is willing, in these perplexing times, to leave its defense to other people who know lit- tle about it and have no appreciation of its virtues. The great freedoms about which we read so much have not come to the world through the development of “Asiatic, African or Latin civilizations. The Mon- gol and the Slav have contributed very little to its development. This is an important truth which Americans should bear in mind when ask- ed to join in any interational effort to set up a common set of principles for enforce- ment by the nations of the. world. As many observers have pointed out, the chances are that the “ideal” set-up will not be laws of the Anglo-Saxon people, who happen tohave only a_ minority of the votes that go into international con- ferences, Your Horoscope ‘|' ff FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1949 —This is one of the strongest of It gives an original, dar- ing, independent, forceful perament, which has a little too much desire for freedom.
