Seed Money

Mr. Yuhnke, who has been
elected to serve on the Council
from the school of Graduate
Arts and Sciences, said that his
group had written a letter to
President Shannon asking that a
Negro admissions officer be appointed
to "help establish communications
with black high
school students."

The letter also asked for "seed
money" for the Martin Luther
King, Jr. Scholarship Fund, that
was started by members of the
faculty shortly after the assassination
of Mr. King.
