The Special Admissions Students who were admitted in 1973--
when Bakke was refused-- demonstrate clearly that their Race alone
was no qualification, and that the standardized tests which normally
would have kept them out of medical school were no test at all of
their ability to become doctors.

Ovel Knight graduated this year. He received his class'
highest honor, the Senior Class Award. He was a special admissions
student.

Only one student in the whole class of 100 earned both a
Medical Degree and a Master's Degree in Public Health-- he was Pat
Harris, a Black student, one of five children in a family that lived
on $3,000. a year of Federal Assistance, who completed four years of
college in three, and graduated from Davis in the top of his class,
as did each of the five Black Special Admissions Students who
graduated in 1977.
