Negroes Not Utilizing Education Plan Money Troubles Reported Reason For Disinterest COLUMBIA, S. C Oct. 24 (UP) A diseouragingly small number of South Carolina Ne groes are applying for college work outside the state under the Southern Regional Education i Plan, officials disclosed today. Dr. Marshall W. Brown, a mem ber of the State Board of Control for Regional Educational, said only about one in every'six. ap plicants for the program here are Negroes. Money troubles account ed for part of tho group missing i out, he said, but ignorance of the I program and how it worked also j accounted for a large portion of i the missing. Brown issued a report showing that South Carolina has 44 stu dents placed this year under the three-year-old program. Fourteen are studying veterinary medicine at Auburn; eight dentistry stu dents are at Emory University in Atlanta. Ga.; eight more are studying dentistry at the Univer sity of Virginia; six are in medi cine and four in dentistry at Mc harry, and four, are in dentistry at the University of Maryland. The Regional Education Pro gram, set up by the Southern Governors Conference m 1947, is a -compact including 14 states in an exchange of educational op portunities'.'' Its purpose is"to al low students from one area to attend colleges elsewhere in the South, at resident costs, to study courses which were not available in their home states. ... Both Negro and white students were participating in the program, but so far. the greater portion of the South Carolina students have been white, Brown said. South Carolina Negroes who did enroll and who were accepted at the schools have made out standing records. Dr. Brown said, But, he added, in some cases the state's allowed quotas at Negro institutions were not filled be cause of the lack of qualified ap plicants. " '-The biggest disappointment to me has been the failure of Ne groes to-' apply '-for "tile veterinary 'medical course at Tuskegee."
