Jim Crow To Be Maintained Under New Law
University Head Says System Not Subterfuge
FRANKFORT, KY.—(ANP)—Kentucky educators came up with a new scheme last week designed to get around the U. S. Supreme court decisions that states must provide equal educational facilities for all their citizens.
Under the Kentucky plan segregation will be maintained, and professors at the University of Kentucky will act as "tutors" to Negro students who desire graduate courses or subjects not taught at the jimcrow Kentucky State College.
Colored students will use University of Kentucky laboratories at special times of the day so that they will not come in contact with the white students. Students graduating under this system will receive a joint U. K. - K. S. C. degree signed by both college presidents.
REMAIN AT SCHOOL
Negro students will remain at Kentucky State while university instructors will travel to the colored campus to teach them.
The plan was announced by the state board of education and the University of Kentucky State Atty Gen A. E. Funk made the announcement after a conference with Dr. H. L. Donovan, president of the university; Gordie Young, assistant state superintendent of public instruction, and M. B. Holifield, assistant attorney general.
Discussing the plan, Funk said "We're trying to keep our Day law and still offer equal educational opportunities and facilities. We want to get this set up before we have to answer that suit," he said.
