Ease Race Barriers » TCU Congress Asks Academic Restriction Target of Resolution By MARY MARTIN By an overwhelming majority—unanimous except for three abstensions—Student Congress Tuesday called on the administration to open the TCU academic program to Ne- groes. The sole test for admission, Congress argued, should be scholastic qualification. The resolution, which asks the University's Board of Trustees "to remove any racial restriction from admission requirements to any part of our academic program and that this be done by the end of this academic year if possible," is to be forwarded to Chancellor M. E. Sadler. The move, began by Student Body President Mark Was- senich, brought the largest student crowd of the year when word spread that integration would be Congress' topic for the night. Action came during a fast-moving business session, dur- ing which Secretary Nancy Savage apologized for spilling Coke on the minutes.

Social Barriers Untouched Wassenich introduced the integration resolution, say- ing that it did not call for integration of social functions but for the removal of admission requirement barriers.
