...University ofAlabama, now considering its third Negro applicant in five weeks. The only one publicly known is Vivian Malone, 20, of Mobile, daughter of a housemaid. Applicant Malone, presently a junior majoring in business education at all-Negro Alabama A. & M., will not have to go to court to establish the right of Negroes to enter the university. The school has been under federal court order not to discriminate ever since 1956, when Coed Autherine Lucy (now studying education at Texas Southern University) was expelled because she charged university collusion with the mobs that chased her from the campus...

Temple University Student Prathia Hall, 22, led the all-Negro congregation in a worship vigil. "We may not be free in our lifetime," she prayed, "but O God, Lord in Heaven, we're going to be free...
...Orleans this year has seven Negro children peacefully attending five formerly all-white schools. To this relative progress the school board last week added an ironic footnote.

King is also accused of status seeking. He recently moved his Southern Conference headquarters into a predominantly white office building in Atlanta, where he puts up with segregated toilets and restaurants; in contrast. Snick's Atlanta headquarters is a windowless cubicle in an all-Negro district. King began to lose status with young Negroes last May when he failed to take a Freedom Ride into Mississippi. He lost even more last month at a civil rights demonstration in Albany, Ga., when he was taken off to jail vowing that he would stay behind bars indefinitely, then meekly posted bond...
...Negroes sometimes add to the resegregation trend by shunning integrated schools even when perfectly free to attend them. More than three-quarters of Oklahoma's biracial school districts have desegregated, for example, but the number of Negroes in mixed schools is actually declining. Some officials say that many Negro youngsters fear competition with better prepared white children, preferring to get high marks in inferior Negro schools rather than low marks in superior mixed schools. Worse, the decline in Oklahoma's all-Negro high schools seems to be cutting the number of Negro youngsters going on to college...
