Wilberforce Bill Passed Senate Test Mon. The Gray hill to create a new col­ lege of education and industrial arts at Wilberforce University wiis passed by the senate last Monday night by a vote of 20 to 13, after Senator Wayne L. Hays, D., Belmont, charged that the measure was-intended to eliminate the Incumbent prasident of the university, Senator T. M. Gray, R., Miami, said his hill represented a “turning point in the history of a great institution.” Ht. said the creation of the new college and abolition of the present Combined Normal and Industrial Department was necessitated by stricter require­ ments for the university. Graduates of the colfege ho said, would be eligible for degrees of bache­ lor of science and science in education degrees. Hays contended that the hill would “legislate the Wilberforce president Out Of a job.” “When the effect of the hill is fully seen, some members will 'regret that they voted for it,” he predicted. “I feel that there’s some reason more than has been brought out why this bill is being rushed through the legis lature before we adjourn." ‘ “As‘near as I can figure it out, it is a step to segregate "the Negroes— and that’s class legislation. I under­ stand'that there is n light between two groups on the hoard of trustees.” Gray said all twenty-one members of the board had endorsed the hill, but in response to TUqtlpstien by Hays, admitted that the president Was op posed to the measure. m i m * <***).
