An Associated Press survey finds eight Southern states admitting Negro students in both graduate and undergraduate programs with minimal if any violence. Arkansas opened a law school to a Negro in 1948 and other states report students in campuses, cafeterias, and some fraternities, though social mingling remains limited.
