That appears to be the most prevalent topic ol conversation, both pro and con. in Birmingham and all Ala bama this week. One would, ol course, think that serious consideration would be given this project before making public comments. The editorials in our city newspapers the past lew days have certainly shown very little deep thought and very little consideration and respect lor the present and future status of our educational institutions, am speaking specifically ol the Birmingham News and Age-Herald editorial stall. Their comments upon this project have constantly displayed a tone of belligerence. The veracity of the above state¬ ment is enhanced by the fact that the editorial writer ol the afore¬ mentioned newspaper is presently on the faculty of Birmingham Southern College!! The most absurd comment, logi¬ cally. was made last week by _ spokesman representing some sew¬ ing, garden, or knitting circle in that L^nc Park should not be con¬ sidered as a campus site lor How¬ ard because (ol all things)— “the hydrangeas are in bloom"!! Likewise, was the comment ol another kindly patron who sug gested that the Childersburg Pow¬ der Plant would be the ideal loca¬ tion lor our campus. With such a display of brilliant thought and pearls of wisdom by Иг. John Q. Public, I see that we’re to have a golden era In education — hydrangeas and powder plants .1 • • • THIS 18 A big week on our [ions Focus Week.
