Negro Student Jailed Following
Attempt To Enroll At MISC

HATTIESBURG, Miss. -
Clyde Kennard, 30-year old
farmer of near Hattiesburg
was arrested and charged with
reckless driving and whisky
possession shortly after he
had made an unsuccessful try
to enter the all-white Missis-
sippi Southern College, here
this week.
According to press releases,
authorities at the college had
turned Kennard down because
of application Irregularities
Shortly after leaving the
campus of the celloge, the stu
dent was arrested by con-
stables Lee Daniels and Char
ley Ward. He was charged
with speeding while driving to
the college from his farm near
Hattiesburg and having sever
al bottles of whisky in his car.
Kennard has denied the
charges and relatives of his
are reported to have stated
that he neither drinks nor
smokes and that they feel the
whisky was planted in his
car.
Later reports on the case
are that r. Jess Brown, Negro
lawyer of Vicksburg has been
retained to represent Kennard
when he goes on trial Septem-
Der Is for reckless driving and
whisky possession. Brown is
said to have denied he had
been hired to represent Ken
nard in a court case to get
Kennard admitted to the white
school. The lawyer was hired
after Kennard is said to have
conferred with leaders IN
Jackson, where he showed up
a few hours after being re-
leased from Jail under $500
bond.
In Jackson, Medger Evers,
Field representative for the
NAACP is quoted as saying,
IF he wants assistance, we
aren't going to hesitate to give
it to him.. According to re-
ports Evers did not comment
on the possibilities that Ken
nard's attempt to become the
first Negro to enter a white
Mississippi college would be
taken to court.

suit to compel the admission
of more Negro children in the
