Graduate Record Exam
Aids Minority Students
PRINCETON N.J. —
Many minority students,
entering their junior or senior
years of college or already
possessing undergraduate
degrees, may be thinking
about continuing their
education in graduate school.
If so, Educational Testing
Service (ETS) and the
Graduate Record
Examinations Board can help
identify opportunities for ad
vanced study.
Through the Minority
Graduate Student Locater
Service, developed by ETS and
offered by the GRE Board,
college juniors, seniors and
graduates who are members of
racial and ethnic minorities in

Milton L. Oliver was a black
18 year old private first class
He was in Vietnam less than
three months when his platoon
was assigned to pursue an in
surgent as reported by official
Army records. While on this
assignment, Private Oliver
and four other soldiers were
quietly moving through the
jungle when a grenade was
thrown into their midst.
Private Oliver, being alert,
saw the grenade, caught it
with his hand and fell to the
ground absorbing the blast
with his body. Private Oliver
unselfishly sacrificed his life
for the life of fellow soldiers.
BLACK HEROES IN
OUR NATION’S HISTORY
records the heroism and
unceasing display of courage
and tenacity that make a
Black face his own badge of
courage, a symbol of valor that
all Afro-Americans can
proudly share.
However, since history is
normally read only be his
torians, the veterans of
Morehouse College have
united to ensure that the
the United States can make
their intentions known to
graduate schools seeking such
applicants. There is no cost to
students for this service.
Students sign up by com
pleting the registration form
contained in the GRE/MGSLS
Information Bulletin. It is the
same form used to register for
the Graduate Record
Examinations. The GRE are
comprehensive aptitude and
advanced tests used in the ad
missions process by many of
the nation’s graduate schools.
Students need not take the
GRE to use the Locater
Service.
The Information Bulletin
explains all students must
educational and social
problems facing us as veterans
enrolled at Morehouse College
are dealt with effectively. We
will provide an avenue for
better communication between
Morehouse veterans, the
student body, and the faculty
and administration. Because
of our experience, age, and dis
cipline, we are taking it upon
ourselves to become the con
tinuum by which Morehouse
men are measured.
Alone with clearing up all
negative views of veterans, we
also plan to educate the non
history majors of the role that
the Black man in the military
has played in the liberation of
our race.
“It is only out of military
necessity do I free the slaves,”
stated President Abraham
Lincoln. Honest Abe became
famous while we who fought
are cast aside.
H ow n ver, Morehouse
veterans know that slavery,
integration, the right to vote,
and the punishing of such acts
were because of us.
know to participate in the
service. Copies of the Bulletin
can be obtained at most
colleges or by writing to
MGSLS, Box 2615, Princeton,
NJ. 08541.
To take part in the Locater
Service, students describe
themselves by answering a
series of questions on the regis
tration form that ask for ethnic
background, undergraduate
major, intended graduate ma
jor and other information
about educational experience
and objectives. This in
formation is placed in the
Locater Service file and made
available upon request to
participating graduate
schools. GRE scores are not in
cluded in the Locater Service
file.
Each graduate school es
tablishes it s own criteria for
identifying students from the
Locater Service file based on
ethnic background, expected
major field of study, degree ob
jective and state of residence.
Students who use the Locater
Service and meet the criteria
set by a particular school will *
have their names
automatically submitted to
that school.
Students who want to
make information
available to graduate
schools three times during
the academic year must
have their registration
forms in by Sept. 22. A
student who misses that
deadone and has the form in
by Nov. 6 will be able to
participate twice. Graduate
schools will correspond with
those students in whom they
are interested to inform them
of the procedures to follow in
applying for admission.
Because of the interest
among graduate schools
throughout the nation in at
tracting qualified minority
students, it is likely that a
student’s name will be sent to a
number of institutions.
Because a graduate school
may not wish to contact all
students whose names it
receives, students are not in
formed of the identity of those
institutions to which their
names have been forwarded.
The Locater Service is not an
application to graduate school
or for financial assistance and
does not constitute a
guarantee of admission or
financial aid. It is designed
only to supplement a student’s
own efforts to locate and seek
admission to a suitable
graduate program and to find
resources for financial as
sistance.
Information students supply
for the Locater Service file is
treated confidentially and is
released only to participating
graduate schools and
scholarship programs.

students made use of the
