Formal Word
Is Filed By
Three Judges
5 j
A formal judgment has been fil
ed declaring "void and of no ef
fect" the orders of the trustees
of the Consolidated University that
Negroes are not eligible for ad
mission to the University's under
graduate school.
The three branches are the Un-
iveAsJly here, State College t j
Raleigh and Woman's College at
Greensboro.
A written judgment declaring
the orders in violation of the Con
stitution was filed in Middle Dis
trict Federal Court. Also, filed was
a written opinion of the three
Durham Negro youths against the
trustees.
The opinion was written by
Juage Morris A. Sopcr of the
United States Circuit Court. It was
concurred in by Judge Johnson
J. Hayes of the Middle District
Court.
ThP three iudes heard the case
Sept. 10, and at that time directed
the Consolidated University to ac
cept and process applications for
admission without regard to race
or color. Subsequently, applica
tions of the three youths were
processed and they were admitted.
In the opinion filed the day of
the trial, the judges restated that
"we decide only that the Negro as
a class may not be excluded be
cause of their race or color; and
the board (oftrustees) retains the
power to decide whether the ap
plications possess the necessary
qualifications."
The judges also stated in the
opiniqn that the suit was properly
brought as a "class action" on be
half of all Negroes in North Caro
lina who may apply for admission
to the University.

CONCERT
SERIES
UNDERWAY
Tickets went on sale this week
for the Chapel Hill Concert Se
ries for 1955-56.
Jim Davis, chairman of the se
ries', ticket sales campaign, said
students may make ticket orders
by contacting. Mrs. Douglas Fam
brough in Graham Memorial.
The rates for season tickets are:
section one, $7.50; section two,
$6.50; section three, $5.50. If tic
kets . are bought separately, the
rates are, for the three sections,
respectively, $13, $11 and $9. Last
season there was a special $5 sea
son ticket for students because
the Student Activities Board was
connected with the Concert Se
ries, but this year it is solely spon
sored by the community of Chapel
Hill. Tickets are 50 cents more. .
All performances will be in Me
morial Hall.
The Chapel Hill Concert Series
announced the following four at
tractions as its offering for the
1955-5r season: " 'J "
The first, on Oct. 27, will be a
solo performance by Ruggiero Ric
ci, violinist. After Ricci's Carnegie
Hall Recital on Jan. 5, 1955, Olin
Downes, writing in The New York
Times, said, "... As a virtuoso of
his instrument there are few today
who can excel him."
The Mozart Piano Festival, on
Feb. 24, 1956, will include the
200th anniversary of the birth of
Mozart. This effort to recreate the
authentic musical conditions exist
ing during the time of Mozart will
combine the talents of Luboshutz
and Nemenoff, duo pianists, Boris
Goldovshy, concert pianist and au
thor of Metropolitan Operalogues,
and a 23-piece orchestra. Three pi
anos of the type current in Mo
zart's time will be used.

Will Carolina's Enrollment Climb Back?
Bar graph shows how enrollment at the University this year compares with that in 1950, 51, 52,
53,. and 54. The 6,684 students enrolled in 1950, said Director of Central Records Ed Lanier, represents
the "tail end" of the, boom in post-war students. University officials have kept their eyes on the rising
enrollment. One, President Gordon Gray, has said hs feels "we should raise our scholastic admissions
requirements gradually and reasonably" due in part to the steady increase.

Fowler Says Promises
Being Kept
After having served almost two
months as president of the student
body, Don Fowler believes his e
lection platform is being fulfilled.
One of the most important cam
pus issues is the traffic problem.
"We have set up," said Fowler,
"a five-man traffic committee
headed by Layton McCurdy to reg
ulate student automobiles." This
committee has persuaded the Trus
tee Visiting Committee to allow
students to continue bringing their
cars to the University, he said.
"Our main goal," he said, "is
to elevate the student government
to a junior partnership with the ' government." The secretary will

the previous figure released by
The Daily Tar Heel which gave

63 are from U. S. possessions and

This number marks the Univer

Acting President Purks has said
he is also of this opinion.
Said President Gray in his re
port: "Though we would look a
head no more than 10 years, wo
in North Carolina are faced with
tremendous increases in the num
ber of young people who will
want to go to college. This is no
mere result of a growing popu
lation. This is included; but be
yond this, a great number of
young people who a generation ago
would not have gone to college
are coming for admission. Our
high schools are producing more
graduates; and, proportionately,
more of these are desiring higher
education.
"The three institutions compris
ing the University, individually
and collectively, are obviously fac
ed with increases in enrollment
sufficient to change the structure,
operating procedures, and even
the basic nature and function of
each. Before this happens, piece
meal but irrevocably, we need to
consider our admissions policies.
"Our alternatives range be
tween two poles. We may continue
to hold our doors open and take
in virtually all comers. Or we
may raise our admissions stan
dards significantly, so as to hold
our enrollments at a relatively
stable figure.
"Educationally, the issue ba3

take all comcrsv under our present
circumstances, will mean that we
may have to settle for a low com

in much of our undergraduate instruction."
