These institutions are part of the National Defense Education Act. • Indiana University and Still man College, a predominantly Ne gro liberal arts college of Tusca loosa, Alabama, have just made a cooperative pact which includes exchange students, faculty, and curriculum experimentation. • Similar agreements during the past year have included the University of Michigan and Tus kegec Institute, Brown University and Totigaloo College, Florida State University and Florida A and M ., the University of Tennes see and Knoxville College, North Carolina College at Durham and North Carolina A. and T., the University of Wisconsin and Tex as Southern University, and Cor nell and Hampton Institute. • Last summer 235 teachers from southern Negro colleges at tended special institutes at Prince ton, Indiana University, the Uni versity of North Carolina, the University of Wisconsin, and Car negie Institute of Technology This summer a larger number of teachers will attend ten such in stitutes. The institutes were part of the academic upgrading initia ted by the late President Ken nedy in a special W'hite House meeting in June, 1963, and fol lowed up by the American Coun cil on Education. These developments were all described by Whitney Young. Jr., executive director of the Na tional Urban League, in an ad dress at the 20th National Con ference on Higher Education.

Landlords also have the option of requiring a written agree ment, according to Thorpe. "This provision should really help the landlords, too,” he said "I'm cer tain they'll all accept it.” He said that if the people con tacted by Student Affairs, who are not now on the list agree to the provisions and ask, they will be added to the approved hous ing list. “This is in cfTect right now," Thorpe said.

"Such tests tend to reflect not what they can learn but what they have 1 learned," Young said. Young suggested that "institu tions who desire to be helpful” could "provide fellowship grants ! for college teachers in-service; i recruit staff without regard to race, religion, or national origin, thus increasing professional in centive among Negro college faculty; establish staff arrange ments with accredited schools in other sections of the country; and share staffing among small schools and engage in coopera tive programming."
