SHUNS NEGRO LAW SCHOOL

Norman, Okla. (AP) - Mrs. Ada
Lois Sipel Fisher, 23-year-old Negro
Monday spumed a new law school
created especially for Negroes.
Once again she renewed her fight
in the United States supreme court
for admission to the University of
Oklahoma law school which rejected
her because of her race.
3-Man Faculty
The university, which has not ac-
cepted a Negro student in its 56-yeal
history, told Mrs. Fisher her applica-
ton was approved except for her race,
It pointed out a three-man faculty
was ready to open law courses fol
Negroes only in the state capitol
building at Oklahoma City.
DR.. George L. Cross, president Of
the University of Oklahoma, an
nounced Mrs. Fishers application
had been rejected because it conflict
ed with Oklahoma's constitution
which provides separate schools fol-
whites and Negroes.
While Mrs. Fishers application was
being rejected, her attorneys in Wash
ington, D. c., fled a petition asking
the high court to order the university
to admit her.
Mrs. Fisher applied for enrolment
a week ago after the supreme court
had ordered Oklahoma to grant her
equal and immediate opportunities
with those of whites.
The law school for Negroes at Ok
.lahoma City is set up as a branch Of
.Langston university, Oklahoma's only
Negro school of higher education.
There were no applications for en-
rollment Monday.
No Comment
Mrs. Fisher had no comment on
any proceedings. She said she did not
know what she would do if she lost
her fight for admittance to the Uni
.versity of Oklahoma. She said she
would not attend the Negro law
school.
In the petition to the supreme
court, Mrs. Fishers attorneys pointed
out hat "one student cannot consti-
tute a law school,"
Also, the petition noted 1T is COM
pletely impossible to set up, within a
period of one week, a law school
which would offer adequate facilities
for the acquisition of the professional
skills necessary for the practice of
law"
The next session of the supreme
court is scheduled for Feb. 2.

established that for more than fifty years
no Negro had ever served on a grand or
or petit jury in that County. The petition
stated further that in view Of the fact
that the Country contained approximately
5000 white males over twenty-one and
5000 Negro males over twenty-one, such
lo~ng-continued absence of Negroes from
juries established clearly the existance of
a custom and usage on the part Of county
officials to systematically exclude Negroe.
from @juries solely because of race.
The petition pointed out further that
though some Negroes name appeared
on the panel, none had served on the
jury and in fact the names appearing on
the panel were placed there as the result
of a Conspiracy to accomplish exclusion

to satisfy the requirements of the Supreme
Court as set forth in the case Of Eddie

that Negroes not be excluded from jurIes

to change their food habits and eat
more protein in order to keep the
hemoglobin of their blood at healthy
levels. Observation of the eating
habits of almost any group of wom-

amounts of protein foods. In nu-
tritional anemia, the hemoglobin of

cause has been thought to be too
little iron, but long series of
studies indicates that it is more
likely to be too little protein.
