University Classes Are Peacefully Integrated A handful of qualified Negroes quietly entered and started attending undergraduate and graduate level classes last weekend. At least 30 Negro students are attend- ing University classes — mostly o the graduate level, according to Dr. Robert Johns, executive vice president. No record was made of the number of Negroes accepted. These are not, however, the first colored students to take University courses. Throughout the years, Negroes have been attending night classes. Integration came about as a direct re- sult of action taken by the Board of Trustees in January to accept or reject all applications on their merits. "All University facilities are available to these new students." said Dr. Johns. SIMMER COMES P The Mia Voi.. XXXVI, No. 27 University of Miami urricane CLAY GOES Pag f* 3 Coral Cahi.es, Fla.

For the first time since the present series comenced, McCall will include orchestral instruction as a special phase of the musical program. "Students and the public can hear the accomplishments of the musicians at concerts It p.in. Sundays on campus,” said McCall. Most visiting campers are residing at Eaton Hall dorm, while local students commute from home. At least 25 junior and senior counselors are in charge of the dorm life. The staff conducting the music activities is made up of high school music directors throughout the state UM music staffers and symphony members will teach students privately and in groups. Eaton llall may ring with the sound of varied instrument during the afternoons, while musicians practice for hand and orchestra work. All work and no play is not the motto, however.

The AAUP committee carefully pointed out that the plan is a tentative one, that is wishes to obtain faculty opinion before moving on to the next step and that it intends to work closely with the Faculty Council. They will also obtain advice from the Washington office of the AAUP before final planning.
