fund for the Advancement of
Kducation to recruit promising
Negro students The program will
enroll 20 students for each of the
next three years.
• Teams of admissions offi
cers from 21 colleges in the New

it the city's high schools to help
disadvantaged youngsters find
their way into college This pro
gram was announced by the Na
tional Scholarship Service and
Fund for the Negro Students.
• Representatives of the Am
erican Society for Engineering

nois, and the nation's seven pre
dominantly Negro colleges of en
gineering have recently met to
consider an expansion of educa
tional opportunities for Negroes
in engineering
• Special grants to Negro stu
dents have been stepped up in
medicine and dentistry.
• A committee for the devel
opment of art in Negro colleges
has been founded under the di
rection of Albert Eisen, art his
torian at the University of In
(liana, and Jack Jordan, chairman
of the department of fine arts at
Southern University.
• The Association of Ameri
can l.aw Schools has created a
minority groups project to coun
terart the factors which have per
mitted only a few Negroes and
Puerto Ricans to enter the le
gal profession.
• The Office of Education is
providing financial and technical
support for college and univer

"Responsible Tradition"
"I hope to continue the re
sponsible tradition that has
marked The Emerald during its
75 year history." Beggs said
He continued "1 plan to con
tirfue a policy of background and
depth reporting, and to expand
this policy into the many tin
tapped fields available for fea
ture material.
I am grateful for the oppor
tunity to assume the editorship
of The Emerald, recognizing that
this position is one of the most
rewarding and demanding offices
available to a student at the
University.”
"Enlightening Experience”
Fobes said, “I am looking for
ward to another profitable year
for The Emerald and feel that
working with Chuck Beggs will
be an enlightening experience
"I hope to continue the fine
work conducted by J. Craig
Mathiesen, the present business
manager, and Ken Kappel, ad
vertising manager.”
Two other contenders sought
the editorship Steve Green and
Dave Jordan. They are both
juniors in journalism.
Boy Ledger wood was the only
other candidate for business man
ager. He is also a junior in
journalism.

• The Office of Education has
launched a program to assist col
leges and universities in organiz
ing special institutes for those
who teach in schools largely pop
ulated by deprived youth and for
training persons entering the
teaching field. 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.
In his address, Young went on
to advocate many other special
efforts to help Negroes in edu

"This will make sure they have
an agreement ahead of time,” he
added.
"This should eliminate much
of the hard feeling between ten
ants and landlords,” he said.
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. A landlord who does
not agree to the new provision
will be taken off the list im

Special counseling is needed to
help the Negro freshman cope
with college life, according to
Young. He is "usually less well
prepared than his white counter
part His achievement may be at
the 10th grade level.”
Young cited a follow-up study
of college records that indicated
Negro students are likely to he
better achievers than their apti
tude tests predict. "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."
