Shortly after noon yesterday, a group of female University students gathered outside the meeting of the Scholarship Committee to protest the awarding of DuPont Scholarships to men only. Dean of Student Affairs D. Alan Williams told the girls and Dean of Women Mary E. Whitney that an "administrative problem" in timing has resulted in the exclusion of women from competition for the DuPont Scholarships. Mr. Williams acknowledged that it was too late to remedy that situation, but he assured the girls that it would not happen next year and that any woman who had lost the chance for the DuPont Scholarship would be eligible for other financial aid.
