Mississippi Among Four States Cited
AS Center Of Most Opposition

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. % (DSN)
- A survey of opinion among
campus newspaper editors at SOU
thern colleges and universities
made last week by United Press
indicated that a large number Of
white college and university stu
dents are willing to accept Negro
students as classmates.
A majority believe that integra-
ton should be gradual in order to
avoid trouble, although few-such
as the universities of North Caro-
lima, Texas and Tennessee-seem
ready to accept the change now if
necessary.
Those universities already have
Negroes in graduate schools and
the change would affect only the
undergraduate classes.
The poll of the schools was
made by the Florida State Univer-
sity newspaper, the Flambesu. The
Flambeau said the poll reflected the
views of editorial staffs at the
various colleges as result of let
tiers, individual polls and general
campus reaction. The Flambeau
pointed out that it did not attempt
to give the views of every student.
