Another Argument

"Another argument used by the
administration, according to Mr.
Evans, is that men are appointed to
the admissions office from the
faculty departments. That may be
true, but none of the three men
there now is teaching, and Mr.
Warlick hasn't taught since the fall
of 1966. It would be very simple to
appoint a full-time admissions
officer as a member of the
University staff."

Mr. Evans continued, "The
administration says the best man
should be hired, regardless of his
race or color. We feel the hiring of a
recruiter qualified to deal with
Negroes is essential; it isn't an
answer, but it is a necessary step
towards getting black students to
come here."
