A A AiLCiiLiuiA wuiiieu The Women's Athletic Association will be collecting dues October 4th through the 9th. These dues will be collected by members of the WAA cabinet in the evenings or at the grill from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. Any student may also give their dues to Miss Zika in her office To participate in intramural sports you MUST pay your dues Race Problem-(Continued from Page 1) only a few exceptions.

This is effected by unwritten rules to which real estate firms find it necessary to adhere. The first break In this pattern occurred last Saturday when a Negro family, the Wilbert Mitchells, moved Into a previously all-white neighborhood in Cedar Rapids' South East area. Eleven Coe students who heard mbout the event turned out to help the Mitchells move. Some of the previously mentioned faculty members mnd others helped also in various ways. Residents of the Mitchell's new neighborhood have reacted variously with friendliness, apprehension, and antagonism.

The Human Relations Council is endeavoring to clarify the situation to all of these people, and is especially indicating that property values will not change unless the present homeowners panic and sell too quickly. If the integration of Negro families is a city-wide feature, no home owner will need to fear the major transition on his area that is so often feared. No transition can take place if the established population stays where they are. It does often take place when a grood number of the established population moves and leaves a number of houses vacant. Often in such cases, the only buyers willing to move in are minority groups.

The transition, then, is the result of an irrational fear, and not of the fact that one home is bought by a minority group family. Gradual integration on housing has been begun satisfactorily in Des Moines partially due to the activity of a municipal human relations commission. It is hoped that such a group and its results will eventually eliminate Cedar Rapids' race-relation problems.
