could delay a final ruling for many
months by giving the States a GER
tain time in which to equalize
conditions. Even without aban-
doning the separate-but-equal doc
trine, the Court could order either
State to admit Negro children to
white schools if equal facilities
were not made available within a
designated period.
That is what the Supreme
Court did, in general, within the
last three years in cases from
Oklahoma and Texas. It ordered
State universities to admit Negro
applicants to postgraduate de-
partments because no adequate
separate facilities for higher edu-
cation were or could be provided
for Negroes in those States.
Although the root issue is the
same in both, the South Caro-
lima and Kansas cases are not
identical. They did not follow
exactly the same path to the
Supreme Court. Last January the
high court was asked to review
the South Carolina appeal by a

South Carolina by declaring that

While that would not automati-

it probably would greatly hasten
such action.
Or, the Court could uphold the
segregated school system and ex-
pressly reaffirm the separate-but-
equal doctrine.
The Court conceivably could re-
verse the South Carolina or Kan
sas decisions by dealing solely
with special circumstances or
statutory provisions in those
States-provisions which would
not necessarily bear on the status
of the District under congressional
control.

Still another alternative would
be for the Court to uphold the
separate-but-equal doctrine, while
determining at the same time that
the specific States do not provide
substantially equal educational
facilities. The Court. moreover.

Enrolment Drop, Race Issue

raining enrolment and the seq
regation problem will hamper
Washington high school athletics
this year.
Dwindling attendance has been
cutting into team material at
most Of the Districts white high
schools since World War II. This
year the pinch at some will
tighten.
The race question will curtail
football competition. Gonzaga
High School has been forced to
drop contests with six area schools
because a Negro will be on its
team.
And school officials are talking
about transferring or abandoning
two more white high schools.
Mckinley may be transferred to
Negroes. as Central was two years
Iago. And Western may become
a teachers college. Neither will
happen this school year, but both
schools might be out of the sports
picture the next. An Eastern
transfer someday also is a distinct
possibility.
The city's Negro high schools,
in contrast to the white, are
jammed. And a new one-Sping-
arn-joins the ranks this fall.
Spingarn will schedule only prac-
tice games in football this year,
but plans to offer full competi-
ton in other sports.
White Enrolment Down.
White high school enrolment
has skidded draStically since 1912
from 10,584 to 6,918. Western
in 1912 had 1.119 students; last
year it had 592. Tech 10 years
ago had Its; last year it had
993. Roosevelt has dropped from
1,147 to BAL.
In the '30S, Western was an
athletic power. But the Raiders
haven't won a championship in
any major sport since 1943 and
prospects grow DINNER. Tech used
to be considered the team to beat
in football, but in recent years
the championship cups have not
come it's way. Roosevelt sur
prised by winning it's gridiron di-
vision last season. But with de-
creasing enrolment the Rough
Riders will probably find the going
steadily rougher.
In 1912 all public highs had ap-I
proximately the same number of
and the championships
were passed around more. Now
schools with low enrolment are
finding it increasingly difficult to
compete. and in the major sports

County. Plans for the new high
school already are being prepared.
Even the temporary classrooms
should disappear soon. The new
30-claSsroom Robert E. Lee Ele-
mentary School will be ready by
February. Construction is due to
start soon on a, 25-claSsroom ele-
mentary school on a 15-acre site

Plans are being made to take

room school is planned on the
Brookings tract, where a new

to be built. Another 20 room
school is to be built in the north
Mount Vernon area to accommo-
date a new housing development
there.

creased enrolment, bringing the
teaching staff up to 400. There
has been one new addition to the

Alexandra Schools Eliminate
Half Day Shifts and Crowding
By Mary Lou Werner

Alexandria's IS schools opened
last Thursday without any of the
halliday shifts, which many
neighboring communities in Mary
land and Virginia have had to
adopt.
Classrooms weren't crowded,
except in a few places where
minor changes are expected to
straighten things out. Temporary
classroomS were necessary in only
two places. Eleven classrooms are
set up in a Shirley-Duke apart
ment building, and two others are
in a Quonset hut behind the Lee
Jackson School. Both of these
make-shift situations were in
herited from Fairfax County by
annexation.
The lack of crowding certainly
doesn't result from lack of growth.
The enrolment was 8.765 at the
end OF last year. It was expected
to reach $500 this month.
School officials knew the en-
rollment would take jump this
year, because an eighth grade
was added to the school system
four years ago. The impact of
that additional grade is felt for
the first time this year.
Twenty additional classrooms
were in operation this year, al
though no new buildings had
been erected. The old jefferson
School. which gradually had been
emptied by new elementary
schools built in the past four
years, provided most Of the extra
space.

was at George Washington High
School In the past four years, has

entering college this month under
the new 1852 style "GI bill"-|
particularly those strapped for
cash-are going to run headlong
into two big problems.
The first is that they will face
a delay of about two months be-
fore they get their first checks
from the Government.
The other is that. in all prob
ability, they are going to have to
shell out some of their own money
in order to start to school.
These unhappy prospects give a
clue to sharp and far-reaching
differences between educational
benefits Congress recently set up
for veterans of Korea and the
more liberal deal open to millions
of World War II ex-GIs. But they
tell only part of the story.
Old CT Setup.
Under the World War II pro-
gram the Veterans Administra-
ton paid money directly to the
universities for veterans tuition
Cup to $500 a year,. fees. books
and equipment. In addition, the
EXCL students got subsistence
payments-starting at $75 a month
for single men-to help carry
them along.
Under the new program pay
mentS to schools are out. All the
money VA is going to pay will go
directly to veterans. For all prac-
tical purposes the money they will
have for Subsistence" will be
whatever is left-if anything
after they pay their school costs.
The money will go to veterans in
monthly installments which, Off
cials agree, will total less than
the World War II men got.
On top of that, the new law
sets tougher standards on the
types of education for which the
Government will pay. And each
EXCL student will be allowed to
make only one change of course.
1000 Enrolment Here.
A rough guess is that about
1000 Korean veterans may enroll
in Washington area colleges this
fall. Another 500 may enroll in
other educational or training
courses.
At the same time. however, Off
cials estimate between $4,000 and
1900 other veterans will con-
tinue schooling or training under
the relatively luxurious provisions
OF the World War II law. AS
evidence Of the drop this program
has taken, however, officials said
about $1,000 were enrolled at the
peak.
Congress, meanwhile, has put
universities, as well as veterans.
on the spot as far as the two
month check delay and the de-
ferred-payment program is con-
cerned. Officials at the Wash
ngton areas six major universi-
ties said they are drawing up def
mite policies this month to help
the students meet their school
bills.
InStallment Plans Created.
Elsewhere, some schools already
have set UP installment plans So
students can pay as they get their
VA checks. Indications were that
some area colleges would follow
suit, but with varying approaches
to the problem.
Each veteran will get IL DAYS
