She notes the arrangement helps black students relax in a hostile atmosphere and cites visible segregation as a concern. President Peterson accepts the review and plans room drawing after Spring Vacation.

Barnard hosts racism meeting to address tensions
Barnard College sponsored a discussion last week on racial tensions in the Brooks Reil Hewitt complex. More than 100 students attended as faculty members Catharine Stimpson and Edward Kaplan spoke on race, respect, and consciousness raising. The event led to plans for follow up discussion groups supervised by a College Psychiatrist with white and black counselors.
