Bulletin from Barnard College informs readers of semi weekly publication by Undergraduates of the Undergraduate Association. It lists editors business managers and staff including Eleanor Streichler Gloria Kingsley Betty Sachs and Meade Shackelford with a March 9 1944 issue date.
The article notes a decline in votes for the National Service chair as students prepare to elect officers over the next two weeks. It argues the position, though influential, should be chosen by students to ensure proper representation between the student body and faculty.
A U S Education Office report urges equal educational opportunities for Negro and white citizens and recommends colleges add the scientific study of race to curricula. Barnard already planned a summer course by Professor Reichard titled Problems of Race, signaling broader efforts to reduce race as a disruptive element in the nation.
In a breezy tour of Brooklyn by Joan Zeiger, Loehmanns on Bedford Avenue and the boroughs famed spots from Coney Island to Brighton Beach appear as vivid character. Museums, libraries, churches, and Prospect Park host summer concerts while diverse street life blends fish markets, dress shops, and impromptu political harangues.
A critical review denounces MGM for watering down Franz Werfel’s The Song of Bernadette. It criticizes visual vision sequences, pacing, and dialogue while praising Anne Revere and Jennifer Jones though calling the film disappointing overall.
Betty Sachs reports on historian Chilton Williamson’s analysis of the Negro question. He traces centuries of oppression and explains the roles forced on Black Americans, the slave system’s justifications, and the Northern political alliance that shaped Reconstruction and race in national policy.
Mr. Williamson discusses the long effect of Reconstruction on Black uplift and suffrage, noting that Negro uplift was a side issue in party politics and that northern reform zeal waned. He argues the North treated emancipation as anti-slavery but not pro Negro and hopes racism may fade through rational policy to end the incubus of racism.
