University, Miss

Dear P. D.,
In reply to the article, "Aca--
denic Freedom, Or = Methodist
Misfits?" printed in the April
18th issue of THE PETAL PA
PER for one Methodist will
vouch for us being "misfits".
After eight months of being an
active member of the Ole Miss
Wesley Foundation | think the
term ''r1isfits" is the most appro-
pirate adjective for describing the
people and activities of our or
ganization on campus.
But what Christian institution
is not just that in the South to-
day?
We (all eight hundred Method
| ist students) have been held re-
sponsible for carrying on a very
| immoral, intellectual, subversive,
un-orthodox program +. A PO-
| LITICAL SIDE! -. indeed! The
american Way" and even the
Southern Way of Life" condemn
the idea of an integrated church
state relationship t. but we can
not escape that up here on the
Northern Frontier of the Mag
nolia Curtain not that we
haven't tried!
Recently at the invitation OF
the President of Russ College, the
Wesley Players accepted an invi-
tation to stage on his segregated
campus their production of NO
EXIT by Jean-Paul Sartre, but
they forgot to ask permission OF
the state "but, alas, God
found out about it, and within
his rights, He demanded to know
what the heck was up" =. and
when he found out us Methodists
were again down as "misfits"
the idea of having something to
do with "the Sickle Cell Anemia''
that this world, state, and cam
pus are in!
Us Methodists have orders from
God to hide our 'misfitness" by
not letting others know about il
=. but / only wanted you t
know about academic freedom or
the Northern Frontier-we have

freedom is in that the SUDDEN

Snider webs are very useful to a

caught in the web the spider stings
the insect and wraps it in silk

Speech Helpers


Speech Helpers
Boys and girls of the first grade
are listening to words which begin
with the same sound, such as look
laugh, late, ETC., thus recognizing
s the sound of "l'. This helps their
speech, aud will also help them tc
spell correctly.
BY adding one more word that
starts with a different consonant
such as ball, baby, cat, and blue
they learn to discriminate between
the sound of &C" ip cat, and "b'
in the other three words.
They are also listening to the
sound of the last letter in words
such as flag, dog, drum, and bug,
SO as to recognize the difference in
the ending of drum and that of the
other three words.

st. Patrick
Very little is known about ST.
Patrick, who lived about 1900 years
ago, but one thing is certain, he
was not Irish! He was either born
In England, Scotland, or France.
When he was a boy he was cap
turned by pirates and sold into
slavery in Ireland. The chieftain
who bought him made him feed
and tend to hogs and pigs. For six
years he worked among the herds,
then escaped across the water to
France.
Years later, when he returned
to Ireland, he Games as a Mission
ary to teach the people the Christ
ian faith. Many people have said,
f"There were no Christians in Ire
land when st. Patrick arrived, and
no pagans when he died"
There are a lot of legends about
St Patrick. Some people say that
he lived to be 121 years old. Some
say there was such great glory at
his death that there was no night
for IL days. The best known leg
end is the one of how he charmed
all the snakes and they drowned
themselves in the sea, and that to
this day they have not returned.
Science
Our Science class has been study
ing about Helpful and Harmful In
sects. We also studied ways to con-
troll them: We found the following
insects to be helpful: Bees, Lady
bug Beetles, Praying Mantises, and
Dragon Flies.
We learned that Japanese Beet
les, Grasshoppers, San Jose Scales.
Aphids, and Mosquitoes were harm
ful.
Our Solar System
Our Solar System is made up of
nine planets, moon, and sun.
The planet nearest the sun is Mer-
curry, which is airless and has one
burning face always toward the
sun.
Venus has a surface that has
never been seen by man for it is
completely covered by clouds.
The earth is the only planet
where life is shown. Three-fourths
of 1t is covered by water.
Mars lis the red planet where
there is no air. Conditions are very
bad on this planet.
Jupiter has temperature of 200
degrees below zero, and has poi
sonous air and gales which blow
across the surface of the planet at

THE CHAINS ARE
CONFIDENT

Most operators of this nations
chain stores consider the current re-
cession little more than temporary
obstacle to their expansion and sales
goals - and many expect that an
upturn will soon permit them to equal
or surpass last years sales. That
happy observation is made by Chain
Store Age, after surveying some four
dozen chains, representing virtually
all fields of retailing.
As an example of this optimism,
the majority of companies reported
that conditions had caused no curtail-
ment OF previously laid plans to build
new stores and to modernize and
improve others. Only one chain has
abandoned its improvement program
completely. In addition, advertising
and sales promotion campaigns are
not being curtailed, although, natur-
ally enough, all techniques, tools and
tactics are being scrutinized to see
that the advertising dollar does the
most effective job possible. Many of
the systems are spending more ON
promotional activities to reach the
consumer with money to spend.
An important development from
the consumer point of view is that,
due to greater consumer resistance
many chains are looking for better
buys i'll merchandise. The goal is to
offer prospective buyers the best
possible deal.
All of this certainly comes under
the heading of good news. The vol.
ume of retail trade is an enormously
important factor Ill deciding jus; how
good or bad economic conditions IN
general are. Wen all hope that the
chains confidence proves to be n
Justified.

THE MEAT SITUlE.-

STAT ESMANLIKE
COMPETITION

Competitive enterprise is often pic
tured as Il uOg-eat-dog proposition
where there Is no cooperation or team
work. Ii this We're true, the unsur-
passed accomplishments of this coun-
try in production would not be
reality. Nothing Is achieved when
order does not exist.
a good example OF teamwork is
found III the oil industry at the present
time. In the words OF an oil spokes-
man: The petroleum industry's eX-
pectatlon OF accomplishing realistic
alignment OF costs and realizable
prices must necessarily depend on the
restoration OF Il satisfactory supply
demand situation @. Notable strides
are being made in this direction.
THANKS to many evidences OF states
manllke restraint on the part of re-
liners, importers and state regulatory
authorities
Withiut fanfare or shouting the
industry Is going about making adj
JuStments to meet conditions. After
each temporary interruption in its
progress 1t has resumed its upward
course. This private industry is not
cahnlOaIIstlc III nature, although it is
hlghly competitive and working to
keep ahead of the nations oil needs.

ing prices about two years from now
Then the Oregonian said: "The ideal
would be for producers to send just
enough animals to market to maintain
fair prices but not to boost them to
the point where consumers will rebel
D.. But stringent controls would be
necessary to achieve such a situation,
and this no one desires. Government
controls and price supports have COM
plicated other phases of agriculture.
Cattle growers have got along with
out them and SO they should continue,
even though steaks are high now and
may be cheap two years from now"
Meat moves in free market. Like
any free market commodity, meat
prices will vary drastically on occas-
ion. But one thing is sure in the
long run both producers and con-
sumers get Il fair price break. An
other point needs mention here.
Despite price increases, the average
worker earns enough money in %
minutes to buy a pound of round
steak today as compared with So
minutes III 1913.
