Racial Bars Fast Coming Down In Dixie Schools An estimated 200 Negroes were enrolled this Fall in 21 formerly all-white Southern col leges and universitali. In 11 of the 17 states, where separate schools are maintained by law, the racial bars now have been lowered in. the graduate and profesHional schools of the state universities. In three of the states private colleges also have changed to an integrated racial policy. , These facts were revealed in a survey just completed by the Southern Conference Eduaa- tional Fund., Inc., of New Or- iMms. “Due the commendable policy of* most of these insti- t«tions,” stated Aubrey Wil liams, president of the SCEP, “of not recording the race of students on registration forms, accurate enroUmant figures can- (Plense tur* to Page Bight) Kentucky College Now Opened To Negroes Piiducali, Ky. — Federal Dis trict Judge Roy M. Shelboume ruled this week that Negro cit izens of Paducah are entitled to admission to municipally-main tained Paducah Junior College, whose enrolment has heretofore been restricted to White students. In his findings of fact, Judge Shelboume concurred in the position of the National Asso ciation for the Advancement of Colored People, which repre sented plaintiffs Fred A. Wil son, Jr., and Henry L. Powell in their suit for admission to tho college. Paducah maintains no institution of similar standing, where Negro studemt are able to obtain courses at the college level. Tlie court noted that stu dents attending Padueah Jun ior College are able to save from $400 to $900 per year by being able to attend college while liv ing at home. “The plamtiffs,” said the court, “and any and all otlier persons situated similarly . . . are eiititled to admission to the Paducah Junior College as stu dents, upon the same terms and conditions as . . . members of the white race.” Barring th#ir admifsion constitutes denying their Constitutional rights un der the Fourteenth Amendment, (Please turn to Page Eight) America Tobacco Company, makers Lucky Strike cigarettes and llol Tan cigars, ha» appointed fiva Negro Salesmen who will repre sent the company in some ot the most important metro, politan markets in the country.

Thomas R. Hocutt, New Yoik City subway traffic dispatcher, was the first North Carolina student to file suit for admis sion to the all-white University of North Carolina in 1932. His suit set off a wave of school equality suits which still sweep the South. Last week Thomas Hocutt returned to Durham and his alma mater for a visit. He is shown here with C. 0. Pearson, Durham lawyer, who with now Federal Judge William H. Has- ties, represented Hocutt in his attempt to enter UNC’s School of Pharmacy. Though unsuc cessful in 1932, Hocutt is the man who set the stage for multi- millien dollar increases in grad uate and professional training for Tar Heel Negroes. (Stan- back Photo).
