NAACP Appeals
Against U. of Texas

NEW YORK-NAACP attorneys
for Heman Marion Sweat, October
l, filed their brief on appeal in the
case against the University of
Texas; in which Sweat is seeking
entrance to the law school.
The brief for Sweat in the court
of civil appeals is based on three
main points: D there is no rational
basis for racial classification for
school purposes; (2) public schools,
separate but equal in theory are
in fact and in practical administra-
ton consistently unequal and dis
criminatory; 90 it is impossible
to have the equality required by the
Fourteenth Amendment in a public
school system which relegates citi-
zens of a disadvantaged racial
minority group to separate schools,
