None Qualified

Apparently, there will be on
Negroes in the school next year.
An official in the admissions office,
who requested that his name
be withheld, said that two Negroes
had applied, but neither
was deemed qualified.

"Of course," he added, "we
can't really give accurate statistics
about the number of Negroes
who apply, since we do not request
that information regarding
race be given on the application
form. All we want is a picture of
the applicant and information
about her previous education."

He said that applicants are required
to take a literacy test,
however.

Miss Martha, president of the
Nursing Council, called an emergency
meeting of the entire student
body for this afternoon to
consider a resolution denouncing
the admissions policy of the
school and denying any past discrimination.

She denied allegations that the
resolution was in response to the
NAACP's threatened boycott.
