Votes For Jimcrow Schools Elects Negroes To Ariz. Legislature PHOENIX, Nov. Citizens of the state of Arizona solidly voted against repeal of laws requiring segregated schools for Negroes in the state, but did elect two Negroes to the state legislature. In an initiative vote on a measure prohibiting jimcrow in public schools because of race religion, or national orgin, Arizona refused to pass it by a 2 to 1 margin. Not only are Negroes segregated in many parts of this state, but Spanish-Americans also are jimcrowed.

In many communities in the state the law is disregarded, but in Phoenix is maintained the only segregated senior high school in the state. Elected to the state legislature were Carl B. Simms and H. B. Daniels.

Loser in a close race was Mrs. Emma Gardner. Texas U. To Get New Pharmacy Building HOUSTON, Nov. Board of Directors of Texas State University last week approved final plans for the first unit of a $1,950,000 Sciences building.
