P: As of last fall, said the Census Bureau last week, enrollments in U.S. schools and colleges were up to a record 36 million--a jump of 1,540,000 over 1953.

P: Robert ("Tut") Patterson, secretary of Mississippi's pro-segregation Citizens Councils, suggested that all the councils do as the one in Sunflower County is doing: present high-school students with copies of Circuit Judge Tom Brady's Negro-baiting Black Monday, then offer a $50 prize to the pupil who makes the best attack on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision. The book should provide contestants with plenty of material. Its main theme: that from Egypt to Rome, from India to the Mayans, the Negro has been the cause of the decline and fall of practically everything. P: Antioch College, famed for its now-work, now-study undergraduate program, announced that it was extending the idea to its faculty. From now on, a. professor need not spend his sabbatical years doing research ; he can take a paying job "in the practical society for which he is training his students."

P: In addition to the 308 scholarships it already finances at 34 private colleges and universities, Union Carbide announced that it will add 68 more at eleven new campuses. The company's goal: a total of 400 four-year scholarships, at an estimated annual total of $500,000, with the accompanying $100 yearly allowance toward the expenses of each student's faculty adviser and a $500 grant to the campus of his choice.
