APARTHEID IN UNIVERSITIES
Protest By President
Of Witwatersrand
Press Association—Copyright) JOHANNESBURG. April 10. Tire convocation president of Witwatersrand University (Dr. Samuel Israelstam) tonight urged that every constitutional means be used to prevent apartheid being regarded as permanent at open” universities.
He was addressing the annual meeting of the convocation. “We should tell the world that we shall never rest until we are once again an open university,” he declared.
Cape Town and Witwatersrand Universities are called "open” because they are the only two multi-racial universities in South Africa.
The Separate University Education Bill, now before Parliament, aims at preventing non-Europeans from attending these universities and setting up special “nonwhite” university colleges.
