The segregation problem in the South is one of the most significant social issues of our time. A necessary prerequisite to reasonable social action on this difficult issue is the clear understanding of underlying attitudes and beliefs held by the people who are inevitably influenced by such action. This article presents the results of a study of attitudes toward segregation held by a random sample of undergraduate men at the University of Texas. By jusing a specially devised Tolerance of Non-Segregation Scale, the author found a number of personal background characteristics to be related to attitudes towards desegregation.
