ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People to outlaw segrega-
tion in education, Thurgood Mar
shall, special counsel, said today.
The decisions involve the refusal
of the University of Georgia and a
junior college in Texas to admit
Negro students.
The United States District Court
in Georgia rejected a petition of
the University to dismiss a suit
filed last year by Horace Ward to
compel the state university to adj
nit him to its law school. The
suit, filed year ago, alleged that
Mr.. Ward, a graduate of More
house College and Atlanta Univer-
sity, was denied admission to the
law school when he first applied
in 1850 solely because of his race.
The court, in a ruling handed down
on May Is, ordered the case set
down for trial.
The University board of regents
had offered to pay a major part
of Wards tuition at a Negro law
school or any law school in the
East where segregation was not
practiced. The offer was turned
down.
The University then petitioned
the court to throw the case out be-
cause Mr.. Ward had failed to "pur-
sue and exhaust the administrative
remedies available to him under the
regulations of the university sys-
TEN of Georgia, and that the rights
claimed by Ward are individual
rights and he is not entitled to liti-
gate or invoke the Judgment of the
Court with respect to the rights of
others"
The second victory for the MA
ACP came in decision also handed
down on May Is by the United
States Court of Appeals for the
Fifth Circuit, in a case involving
six Negro students seeking ad-
mittance to the all-white Hardin
Junior College in Wichita Falls,
Texas, the only publicly supported
junior college in the district. The
nearest Junior college for Negroes
is the Prairie View A & M College,
367 miles away.
A lower court had ordered the
Hardin Junior College to admit the
Negro students in view of the lack
of equal facilities. The school board
appealed the decision.
In upholding the lower courts
ruling, the United States Court of
Appeals stated: g. The facts
here show that the privileges of
attending the defendant Hardin
Junior College is much less ex-
pensive in both time and money
for those who reside within the
Wichita Falls Junior District than
for those who are forced to go

and as an interpreter of folk mu-
sic. He is member of The Amer
lean Folklore Society and has con-
tributed to it's official organ, The
Journal of American Folklore. On
his Whitney grant he will complete
his book The Black Bard, trea-
tise on Negro folk music from
early Africa to contemporary
America.
g. When asked recently what was
his conception of folklore, he
thought for moment and then re-
piled, ~ may say, first, that folk
lore includes: music, manner of
speech, customs, beliefs, tales and
legends, folk dance, and folk art;
all occasionally, lacking in aca-
demic sanction. But it is a con-
tinuing process, a part Of what
we call cultural change. Folklore
belongs to any emotional crisis:
death, birth, panic, accident, con-
flict, or grief. Or we could say
that it is common experience that
unites group and sometimes
makes it different from other
groups" Mr.. Clark added that
folk music is indigenous to GER
tain region, and is created by
people who lack formal training,
but preserve their own peculiar
traditions. Mr.. Clark will fly to
Trinidad July 8 on the first leg of
his research period.

Business Outlook For Year Is Good
Business looks good in Missis-

Prisock, executive director of the
Mississippi Employment Security
;s~ N Prisoc'- says not
MINOR recession this year
will affect the stable economy of
and continued high employment in
Mississippi. "We don't foresee any
slack or decline in business or en-
ployment unless it is a minor re-
cession near the end of the year.
But even if that comes, l doubt it

qr.ng Enrolment At
Mississippi State
Total enrolment for the spring
semester at Mississippi State Col
lege is 2673 students, according to
DR.. T. K. Martin, registrar. This
includes 1913 now enrolled in the
Spring Term for teachers and in
Saturday classes. Of the 2673 total
for the spring semester, 2216 are
men and 457 women. For the spring
semester year ago, 2499, students
enrolled, TIA under the total for
this spring. In other words, the
total enrolment this spring is Z
per cent above that Of a year ago.
Pine Beetle Curtailed
Control measures have resulted
in an 80 percent decrease in the
Southern pine beetle in Mississippi
between January and May, the
Bureau of Entomology and Plant
Quarantine reported. However, an
increase of 14O per cent in turpen-
tine beetles was recorded and the
State Forestry Commission warned
an epidemic of turpentine beetles
may result. "The Serious Southern
pine beetle epidemic in Texas in
1950-51 was followed by turpen-
tine beetle epidemic and there is
evidence the same may follow in
Mississippi" Forest Management
Director C. B. Marlin said. He said
control crews have been spraying
stumps of infested trees in an eff
fort to prevent a serious outbreak.
