the case of Virgil D. Hawkins
who sought to inarticulate in
the law school of the University
| of Florida but was prevented
from doing so by a verdict of
the Florida Supreme Court
which allowed the university to
! delay in registreing him.
Tire verdict of the U. S. Court
today reverses the ruling of the
| Florida court and orders the
j university to enroll the 48 year
l old Daytona Beach, Fla., man
| without delay.
Tiie order of the U. S. Sup-
I reme Court said:
! " As th!s case involves the ad-
1 mission of a Negro to a gradu-
1 ate professional school, there is
no reason for delay.
“He is entitled to prompt ad¬
mission under the rules and
regulations applicable to other
qualified candidates.”
Only last Monday the Su¬
preme Court affirmed a lower
court decision which broadened
to include tax-supported colleg¬
es and universities the court’s
1954 decision on striking down
segregation in public schools.
Today’s order noted that the
Supreme Court in 1954 had or¬
