  We establish the formalism in the nonsymmetric gravitational theory (NGT) for
stellar equilibrium and gravitational collapse. We study the collapse of a
pressureless, spherically symmetric dust cloud. By assuming that the interior
solution is smoothly matched at the surface of the star to the quasi-static,
spherically symmetric vacuum solution, we find that the star does not collapse
to a black hole. It is anticipated that the final collapsed object will reach a
state of equilibrium, and will emit thermal, gravitational and other forms of
radiation, although the radiation may be emitted only in small amounts if the
red shift from the surface of the compact object is large. No Hawking radiation
is emitted and the information loss problem can be resolved at the classical
level.
