NEW NEGRO OPINION Howard Gives Scholarships To Students Howard Univ. Awards Sixty-Eight Tuition Scholarships WASHINGTON.- An official list of 68 tuition scholarships granted for the year 1934-1935 by Howard University has just been made public. The scholarships were awarded on the basis of relative scholastic standing and need. Every one of the favored students has at least a "B" average and they represent all sections of the United States. Fourteen are high-schol [[school]] students and the remainder are Howard University students. The scholarships cover tuition fees amounting to one hundred and fifty dollars for the year. In addition to these tuition scholarships, Howard University will also award later about fifty work scholarships and one hundred and thirty-one FERA scholarships. The work scholarships provide employment on the campus to cover tuition, or board, of students with good scholastic records. The FERA awards will go to students with good record who could not otherwise meet their college expenses. They will work on special projects and will receive about fifteen dollars a month. The Awards are made on the basis of competitive ranking of all applicants by the Faculty Scholarship Committee.

[[/advertisements]] Houston Scores Army Prejudice (Continued from page 1) letter some plain but friendly advice about the attitude of Negroes toward the national defense. Negroes keenly resent the present policy of the War Department which has eliminated Negro officers from duty with troops and has reduced three of the four Negro regiments in the regular army to the practical status of service battalions. The Army cannot ignore and reject the Negro in time of peace and expect him to function with one hundred per cent efficiency in time of war. Negro patriotism is undergoing a profound change. Negroes used to take pride in their patriotism, but there is a tendency now to accept patriotism as a necessity, without warmth or emotion. In the last War the record will show that very few established, leading Negroes volunteered for active service. Conditions in the armed forces were made so repugnant to them that if they were not in the draft they stayed at home. The majority of the Negroes volunteering for officers training camps or enlisting in combat units were boys of draft age without exemptions, who would have been swept into the Army anyway. Sentiment among Negroes has not improved since the War; if anything, Negroes are more bitter and disillusioned. The resentment may not appear on the surface, but it runs deep. The Negroes who will go into the armies in the future will not be content with the treatment their fathers endured. Negroes are willing to accept the full responsibility of their citizenship in the national defense, but they insist upon being integrated into the armed forces in time of peace with equal opportunity in all arms according to merit, and not according to preconceived prejudices. Negro troops and Negro officers have demonstrated their loyalty and ability wherever they have been given a fair chance. The Negro has a record of faithful and efficient military service reaching back to Colonial days. I therefore urge you to use your influence in lifting the ban of discrimination against Negroes in the Army, and to see that Negroes are accorded full representation in all arms of the service with equal opportunity for advancement according to their ability. Sincerely and respectfully yours, CHARLES H. HOUSTON. [[advertisements]] Private Ambulance John T. Rhines & Co. MORTICIANS A Complete Funeral as Low as $75.00 Met. 8401 THIRD AND I STS., S.W.
