University Discrimination

The issue begins with "From
the Observatory," a well-written
and honest explanation of discrimination
at the University from
all angles. It is an introduction to
the cover story, an interview with
five University Negro students.

Interviewer Pete Sudler, a literary
editor of UVM, gives a brief
history of the integration of the
University, followed by an interview
with some of the University's
Negro students, "Prejudice at the
University? An interview with Virginia's
Negro students." Four of
the first names in the interview are
those of real students. The fifth one
was changed at the request of the
student.
