This section discusses requirements for the general layout of your manuscript, the order of front and back matter, and page numbering. See the Sample Pages located below for additional information. Guidelines are similar for both theses and dissertations; instructions specific to theses or dissertations will be marked accordingly.
The Graduate School recommends that you use your word processor's global page settings or create a template adhering to the following guidelines:
Margins: i inch on top, bottom and right sides and 11/2 inches on the left, except on the title page, first page of each chapter, and other pages indicated below which should have a 2 inch margin at the top, Line spacing: Double-spaced; long quotations and footnotes may be single-spaced. Spacing on preliminary pages should follow the examples in the Sample Pages below. Fonts: Text font and text size should be chosen for ease in reading. Font sizes 10 through 12 are recommended.

The format selected should be consistent throughout the manuscript. Spell check: Change the word processor spelling setting to include words in ALL CAPS. Pagination: Preliminary pages: Small Roman numerals (ii, iii, iv, etc.) are placed at the bottom center of the page, starting with the Approval Page as ii.

The recent decision of the United States Supreme Court invalidating segregation in
the public schools poses a number of new problems in the area usually called race

from a consideration of what the legal mandate against segregation means when it is
related to the announced objectives of certain elements of Negro leadership—complete
integration in American society. The can best be approached by presenting an analysis of
certain meaningful information which all of us have a chance to share in common.

most simply, a race is a group of people the members of which have common hereditary
characteristics. These characteristics make it possible for the observer to distinguish
between them and members of other groups. There are many different classification of
race. Some of the most important of these or at least the most widely used of these are:
Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negro; Black, White, Yellow and Red.
These classifications are not so definite and authentic that they make it a fool-proof
task separating race groups. In fact, no matter what classifications you use, the
differences between members of any racial group will be greater than the recognized f;\i#Jaehes';:j l^sJji£^fcsk«£ differences between any two racial groups. Some of the things used to classify racial
groups are sldn color, texture of hair, shape of head, relationship of extremities, hairiness
of body, and others too numerous to mention.
