White students at formerly all Negro colleges rise to 600
New York ANP reports the United Negro College Fund found six hundred white students at nine historically black colleges and universities. West Virginia State College and Lincoln University each host about 300, while other campuses in Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina and Texas show smaller numbers. Dr Patterson notes all member schools are open to qualified applicants regardless of race, with many charters updated to remove Negro student references. He says white attendance will not surge soon due to social pressures and better options elsewhere.
