new YORK U.
BANS RACE
QUESTIONS

NEW YORK, Aug. 7-Questions
of race and religion will be elmi-
mated from all registration forms
at New York University beginning
with the new school term next
month.
Assurance that such designations
are to be dropped were given this
week by DR.. Henry T. Heald, chan
cellor of the university, to Herbert
l.. Wright, youth secretary Of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People. In a
conference with Mr.. Wright, DR..
Head said that the new registra-
ton forms will omit the questions
entirely. Meanwhile, students will
not be required to state their race
or religion on the current forms.
The elimination of these qhes-
tions eliminates a two-year cam
paign by the NAACP chapter at
NYU, now headed by Alexander
Foster, third year student pre-
pairing to enter the university law
school.
Chancellor Heald also informed
Mr.. Wright that the guard staff
and otbar carv;co ,,orenpnoI ~ Tho
University would be integrated. AS
result of the killing of Enus l..
Christianii, student, by a uni
versity guard, the chancellor ag-
iced to the proposal to give all
guards at the university special
raining in human relations at the
New York City Police Training In
stitute.
