              The Loyola Maroon Vol. XXXV Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, February 7, 1958 No. 13 Students And City Agree It's Morrison Mayor de Lesseps S. "Chep" Morrison received 52 per cent of the total vote in Loyola's mock election for mayor held Tuesday on the campus. The figure parallels Morrison's city-wide 58 per cent. Here in New Orleans his vote count was 90,494 of 156,786. Out of a total campus vote of 176, the mayor chalked up 91. The biggest surprise result of the polling was Leonard W. Gunzburg's total of 51 or 29 per cent. Claude Duke ran third with an 18 vote 10 per cent and C. Fred Donaldson fourth with 15 for an 8 per cent. William Attaway received a single vote. The percentages for the second, third and fourth place candidates showed little resemblance to the city-wide results. In actual balloting Duke was second with 28 per cent; Donaldson third with 12 per cent; and Gunzburg fourth with two per cent. All students who were permanent residents of New Orleans were eligible to cast ballots in the election sponsored by the Student Democratic Association. As an added aid to "voters" the association sponsored quadrangle talks by three candidates at noon last Thursday, Friday and Monday. Speaking Thursday to a campus group, Morrison stacked his 12 year record of performance and progress against " a lot of promises, talk and criticism" by opposition candidates. He presented a progress report, boasting 35,000 new jobs in the city, 40 additions to the New Orleans skyline and a quadrupling of business at the port of New Orleans. In Friday's talk Duke promised fluoridation of New Orleans water if he were elected mayor and rapped the public improvements projects of the Morrison administration by claiming that "we have been built to the hilt." Duke's running mates who also addressed the Loyola assemblage were James P. Screen, candidate for councilman at large; James C. Gulotta, for judge of Section D, criminal district court; and Floyd J .Reed, for civil sheriff. Last of the series was Monday's address by C. Fred Donaldson. He charged the present administration with neglect of basic needs of the city while building great public monuments. Himself an independent, Donaldson asserted that the major political organizations of the city were in "a conspiracy against the people." Speaking with Donaldson was incumbent city councilman Fred J. Cassibry. Heading campus support groups for the three candidates were Ray Cullom for Morrison; Gasper Schiro for Duke; and Ira Burnette for Donaldson. Gasper Schiro is president of the Student Democratic Association. THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE MIT Physicist Speaks Here 7:30 Tonight Dr. David O.

Raps African Race Situation Grail Staffer Speaks The racial problem in the South is mild compared to the situation which exists today in Africa, a member of the Grail lay apostolate said here Tuesday. Addressing a group of Loyola coeds in a crisp British accent, Miss Ann Hope of the Grailville, Ohio Staff said that the racial situation in Africa is one of great injustice, much worse than it is in the South..  There are only three million white people in Africa, yet they have all of the control and privileges. Miss Hope pointed out that the U. S. has the Supreme Court to help with racial problems, but the government in South Africa enforces segregation, even to the point of shuting down the missionary schools because they teach that it's injustice. "The Church alone can provide a solution to the grave problems," Miss Hope emphasized. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, she became interested in this work at Rhodes University, where she was studying English and history. Traveling extensively throughout the continent, learning a great deal about the natives, their customs, beliefs and way of life, she found them a delightful people. "Their music which they make up as they go is an example of their creativeness. Also, their great sense of worship and eagerness to accept the ideas taught them makes them a good mission field," Miss Hope revealed. Miss Hope is deplored, however, by the situation in the cities where thousands of natives are living in one area and in rudely built shacks. At the start of her work it was these people with whom she dealt, especially the young girls at she tried to instill in them the Christian idea of what • family should be. "They do not consider the individual family important, but rather the tribe as a whole," she said. To this great poverty and the fact that they have not been able to organize themselves, Miss Hope attributes the fact that there have been few uprising. However, she said that the Communists are at work in various areas playing on the fact that these people are unjustly treated and an uprising could start "in the next 20 minutes or the next 20 years." Miss Hope said that "politically there is no hope of racial justice" but that she does believe education for the people will gradually help them to raise themselves out of the depths of JOSEPH G.
