entered," Northern said. "There was no such thing as integration."
"The majority of the nursing students generally were very nice. In fact, they were not aware that blacks had not been going (to study at the hospital)." Northern said. "The majority of students were from small places in Kansas where color had been no problem."
She said her professors were not as receptive.
some were tolerant, some were
openly hostile and some ignored me,
she said. "You had to work to
get the grade," white students to
get the same grade."
Northern said that she was assigned to care for the most difficult patients by prejudiced head nurses
but that some of her white friends in the class helped her complete her duties.
Edward Williams, who became KU's first black medical school graduate in 1941, also found racial tension while pursuing his degree.
"There was some obvious indications that some of the professors blamed of because of color." William O'Reilly of them were extremely good to me.
Williams said some of the professors were uncomfortable because they were teaching a black student.
"They would say 'Negra' when they were discussing a patient and they were trying to say it politely." But "they would never say nigger."
Haldeman-Julius wrote that black students once were admitted to former Chancellor Ernest Lindley's recceptions but were later excluded by big blood couples had danced at the same time as white couples during the event.
Fourteen years earlier, Loren Miller, a KU student who transferred to another university, criticized the University for racism in an article published in "Crisis" the official magazine of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Anna Marce Haldeman-Julius, the wife of the magazine's publisher, came to KU to investigate.
Haldeman-Julius also wrote an article about racism at KU that was inhoused in "Crisis" in January 1928. B&H Miller's complaints were legitimate.
Miller's article criticized KU for excluding black students from the receptions.
"It would be funny if there were not such a grim aspect to the crass stupidity of such an attitude," she wrote.

Group wants more library money

"This has had disastrous effects upon the information base supporting our academic programs," Ranz said.
"I think the quality of the library is threatened if this problem is not rectified in the near future." Hamburg said.
Steve Hamburg, chairman of the University Senate committee on the Library, said he had reviewed Rans' report and had encouraged Universities to address the issue and make increased library financing a priority.
Ranz also said that this lower support was forcing the library to forego the purchase of one of every publications previously acquired.
among the top 106 research libraries in the nation. The KU library fell from 31st in 1985 to 36th in 1988 in the category of total volumes. It fell from 33rd in 1986 to 47th in 1988 in the amount of volumes added during the year. KU fell from 43rd in 1987 to 48th in 1988 for total library expenditures.
According to the Association of Research Libraries, KU is ranked
Ranz said the upkeep of periodicals and various texts had suffered cripping reductions.
"There can be no question that increased financing for books and periodicals must be the libraries." No.1 priority in its budget requests for both 1989-1990 and 1990-1991," Ranz said.
Hamburg said it was important that the University continue to increase library financing or it would be difficult for the whole body of scholarly knowledge.
Bob Jerry, University Senate Executive Committee chairman, said SenEx would be addressing the

issue at its next meeting Thursday.
Ranz said that if additional money besides that from the Mignar were not to have to students and faculty would have to give to other items from other research libraries.
"For the last decade the University of Kansas has consistently borrowed more books from other libraries than has any other member of the Association of Research Libraries," Ranz said.
He also said it was doubtful the University could continue to borrow heavily in the future.
He also said newer publications were the most necessary for the university's work and it would be the most applicable that were not acquired.
