Fifth Negro
Enters UNC
Law School
A fifth Negro student, James
R. Walker, Jr., of Statesville, has
been accepted by the University
Law School.
Walker was notified of his
admission by Acting-Dean Robert
H. Wettach last week, registered
late by special permission, and
is now attending Summer Session
law classes. He will commute
from Durham.
. Upon his graduation from high
school in 1940, Walker entered
North Carolina College and later
in the same year sought admis
sion to the University. His appli

race. Taken into the Army in
1944, he served in both the Eu
ropean and Pacific theaters of
war until 1947 when he was dis
charged with the rank of staff
sergeant and re-entered N. C.
College. After graduating in
1948, he entered the Durham law
school but also applied for ad
mission to the University law
school.

Negro Grad
Provisions
To Be Made
A Board of Trustees committee
will meet here Thursday with a
similar committee from North
Carolina College (for Negroes)
in Durham to plan for "adequate
and satisfactory provisions for
Negro graduate students" in the
State schools.
The meeting was announced
following a session last week of
the Durham schools trustees
which rejected a proposal to ex
Dand its graduate program, a
move which would have reduced
the number of Negro applicants
to the University. The Board
ruled that deficiencies in the
school's present undergraduate
and graduate programs are too
great to warrant an expansion of
the graduate work.
University of North Carolina
trustees in April adopted a policy
admitting Qualified Negroes on
the graduate level when equal
facilities are not maintained by
the State in its Negro schools.
Since May 22. the University,
while admitting Negroes to its
law school, has rejected Negro
applicants to the graduate school
pending development of the pro
posed expansion plans at N. C.
College.

thus debunking rumors that he
is being groomed to succeed Sec
retary of State Dean Acheson.
Grav was inaugurated as the
