Keep The Distinction

In the working out of the segregation issue it is

to be SOTO differentate between action taken primarily

A year ago. it will be recalled, Miss Autherine Lucy

safety On petition the federal court ordered her rein

by her in her behalf that trustees and officials of the
university had "conspred" with the mob to drive her
from the campus.
These charges, apparently acutely embarrass-

entered the Miss Lucys attorneys conceded they
could not prove the charges
The university readmitted Miss Lucy and promptly
expelled her permanently for making courageous,
false and baseess accusations" against the institutions

with it, by implication the right of university officials
to take disciplinary action. The federal judge who
had ordered Miss Lucys readmssion found on the evil
