The NAACP briefs, filed on
September 23, contend that race
as a factor in the admission of
studenta if “a constitution^,
students is **a constitutional ir
relevance,” and urge the Court
to ban by Judicial decree state
laws providing for racial dia-
tinctions in education. The ap
plicability of former Supreme
Court decisions such as Plessy v.
Ferguson and Gong Lum v. Rice,
which appear to uphold segrega
tion, is challenged in the NAACP
briefs. The lower courts erred in
applying these decisions to the
present esses, tt>e briefs assert
, The new trend of U. S. Sup
reme Court decisions has been
toward recognition of the un
constitutionality of statutory
segregation, the NAACP con
tends. “Since 1940," the Tbpeka
case brief asaarta, “In an un
broken line of decisions, this
Court has clearly enunciated the
doctrine that the state may not
validly impose distinctions and
restrictions among its citizens
based upon race or color alone In
each field of governmental acti
vity where question hM been
raised.”
