The comment* on the report of a
eurvey of the caltbr* of higher ed
ucation being offered to Negro col
lege student* have been almost u
namiou* that it wa* right There
were different opinions as to how
it could be remedied, running from
complete integration of all classes,
from first grade to graduate work,
to improving-*)!* present system.
The CAROLINIAN attempted to
reach Governor Sanford and wa*
told that he was in Washington. A
reliable source, in his office, said
that the plight of the Negro stu
dent. from elementary to college
graduation, was a part of the gov
ernor's educational program.
Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion, Dr. Charles Carroll said that
he was not in position to say what
the situation was among the col
leges. in view of the ts'ri that he
ended at the high school level. He
was conscious of the fact that the
educational system was not what it
should be and that all of the people
connected with his program are
working sealously to improve it
Dr. Rudolph Jonas, president
Fayetteville State Teachers College,
who was repotted to have said
'That tn'th* Negro colleges ilHter
ates were teaching illiterates" felt
that that part of his statement was
lifted out of context, but he wanted
it clearly understood that the work
done by both students and teachers
in so-called Negro colleges was not
of the best grade and that he would
not hesitate to say so.
Dr. Jones said that he made a

to whether the recent Supreme
Court decision involving the open

decision to order all public arhool*
desegregated through grades 1-8

The attorney general declined
to comment, stating that he was
not familiar with the LooMana

this week as. In addition to the
i Supreme Court decision. Cathol'c
church lields in that state also
declared that all Catholic elemen

Archbishop Joseph Francis
Rummrl handed down an order
recently that all schools tinder
jurisdiction would be Integrated
as of Sept 9, 1902 The order was
released through Msgr Henry C.

schools in the New Orleans area
The announcement of the de

protests from area Catholics "
, In his decision. Judge Wright
i wrote “To assign children to a

require them to pass muster un
