Of deep concern to people all
over the world is the problem of
~Dominant - Minority Relations.~
This be a high sounding term so
I apologize but use it because it
seems so inclusive. This term
describes the dyrpmic interactions taking place and can be used
with validity to groups. differentiated as to. ethies as well as national,, cultural, and ~ religious
backgrotnd. Yet when we talk
about ~Dominant - Minority Relations~~, which is inclusive of all
minorities we should be aware of
the fact that minorities are unequal, and each minority will have
problems peculiar and unique.

The distinctive feature of min-|

ority status is the differential
treatment received based on phys-! ical and cultural baickground.

The discrimination of the Negro in America is based not on
cultural differences as some or
religious differences as others.
but on Color. Hence we find that, Negro can have all the culture in
* the world or even | legitimately
consider himself a member of any

~ national group or be bathed in the

from the discriminated representatives of the ~minority group.~.

I hate to see people. who rep-|.

resent themselves as ~fair minded~ impart so much unfairness
when they say ~I make no difference,~ or ~I treat Negroes like I
treat everybody élse. *~ And then
mind you, some. of these same
people wonder why Negroes don~t
do this or that because they have |
been treated just like they were
members of the dominant group
or as if they were Jewish, Catholic, Polish, or Italians. _

By this time I am mindful that
some of my enemies will say,

Is it too. mutch to ask men to

have known imprisonment and

have been devised, and the growth of science has advertised the

CLIMATE, NATURAL
VEGETATION AND SCILS
These three elcments ate closely prlated, and climatic | conditions are reflected in the) landseape by characteristic types of
vegetation~ cover and soils over
the surface of Latin America:
Climatic features vary jin ac
cordance with distances fram the
Equator, elevation above. sea
level, prevailing wind direction,
distance from the sea, frequency
of storms. and the temperature
The.
general relationships that) cist
between these elements and the
climate of a givén area are
follows: (1) temps rature decréaah
es as distance from the Equator
or elevaticn increases (2) areas
located on mountain stopes facing
the divection from which the wind
is blowing are rainy awhile those
of slopes facing away from the
prevailing winds tendito be dry;
(3) lands near the sea have few
~extremes of temperature and far

/{imteriors of continents have great
temperature variations;, (&)
stormy -places, particilarly those

in~.mid-lattitudes, have a greater

variety of weather in a!l seasons
than these which seldom <xperjenee storms; (5) coastal regions
which are bordered by waters of
cool ocean currents tend to be

| dry and those adjacent to warm
waters, rainy. Different combina
tions of thcse conditions result
in the several types ~of climate
that are present in hatin America.

The natural vegetakion of an
area is an excellent: mirror of
climatic conditions. In places, conditions of soil or slope may <xert

enough influence upon plant life

to give an erroneous impression
of climatic conditions, but the
relationship is so close that the
scientists studying climatic- phenomena rely upon vegictation
when other data is not available.
So, a person studying Latin Am:
erica should be aware of veg:
tation for its climatic implications as well as its value as a resource for lumbering operations,

livestock grazing, or products
that may be collected from. the
ferests.

To sum up some of the effects
of natural vegetation and climate
upon the original soils of,Latin
America we can say that: (1)
the soils~ of rainy regions are l}css
fertile than those with moderate
rainfall; (2) gsoils of grassland
areas are more fertile than those
of forested regions, and (38) the
soils that develop in regions wi
a distinct cool and distinct warn:
season sare more fertile than.
areas that are continuously warm
or cool.

'.The following are-types of climates to be found in the Latin
American conmtries: Tropical

an article was carried pointing,
out the reasons whv the Board cf |
Education was in favor of plac- |
ing the new Public Library on, the |
Oak Grove Campus. The Friends!
of the Library feel that the new |

library should ~be.located on thet

present site of Wilson Park (just|
across from the main_ library on|
Kearsley Street). |

The Wilson family, owners af |
the Wilson Park, has no objection |
to the site: being used for the new | |
Library. This site is more céntrally located and consequently,

ty. By locating the new Public
Library on the Oak Grove Caza;
pus, another library would be added to the several libraries already
in.that general area, namely, the
