JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - amp
- The Senate Education committee
heard Allen McReynolds, president
of the University of Missouri board
of curators, say that Negroes would
not be segregated as students At the
university if the legislature authori-
yes their admission to the school.
However, he recommended that their
admission be limited to those grad
uate and professional courses of
study not available at Lincoln uni
versity, the state-maintained Negro
institution.
McReynolds pointed out that seq
regated classes and special instruc-
tors had been provided for the few
Negro students admitted to the
state universities in Oklahoma and
Arkansas, but declared IT can say
for the curators that we are not in
sympathy with that procedure. IT
Negro students are admitted to the
university, there shall be no line of
demarcation."
His recommendation for limiting
courses was based on the overcrowd'
ed condition at the school. He also
said it would be mistake to aban-
don Lincoln because the education

Home, Safe Home! Be it ever
so humble, it's full of hazards
both within and without.
Each year, thousands of deaths
and painful injuries result from
accidents in and around the home.
Falls are the most frequent of
these mishaps, but burns, cuts,
poisons and scores of other hazards
account for pain and suffering.

describes the more common causes
of household accidents, and offers
suggestions for preventing them!
Walking barefoot in dark rooms

Stairways are no place for toys
or other loose objects. Keep stairs
in good repair, and rugs securely
fastened.
Make sure that ladders are safe

Garden tools, toys and other OBJ

Falling objects account for many
serious home accidents. Fasten or
