WATCH ON THE POTOMAC
By ROBERT G. SPIvACK Washington. D. C.

been more elaborate, but in their
simplicity all have been eloquent.
This great change in these most
docile of all Negroes, these quiet
profiles in courage, are worth not
ing because they also have their
effects on white men. That's the
other side of the coin. All men adj
mire courage and the effects of
what some regard as "all this agi-
tation'' about Negroes shows itself
in a variety of ways.
There is, for example, the political
effect. At the high point of the Mis-
sissippi conflict the voters in
Georgia's Fifth Congressional Dis
trict defeated Rep. James c. Davis,
an arch-segregationist. Davis, as a
member of the House District Com
mittee, came to be known as the
"Mayor of Washington, powerful
man. He made career of racist ora
tory, but the Georgia electorate de-
cided they had enough.
In that connection it might be
noted. that it was the much-abused
Supreme Courts decision ending
rural dominance and the county unit
system that made possible, at long
last, the election of a Southern
moderate.
For the Southern Negro progress
in race relations must seem unbear-
ably slow. Hesitancy and indecision
in Washington confuse him.
MUST FIGHT HIS OWN BATTLE
Yet once having tasted the fruits
of freedom, it is doubtful that even
the Mississippi Negro will settle for
less. What the struggle in
that state teaches him is that lasting
results will come when, as now, he
stands on his own feet and fights his
own battle in his own way.
For the rest of us, Negro self
reliance is also a welcome develop
ment. No one, not the Justice Depart
ment, or the President, or any white
man. can "give" him first-class citi-
The rest of us can help. But in
the final analysis what the Negro
does for himself is what counts.
What he is doing in Mississippi
makes the Negro a better man and
a better American. Can the same
be said of Gov. Ross Barnett and
his bitter-end associates of the
White Citizens Councils?

The Emerging American

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Battle
of Mississippi will provide the law
yers with plenty to argue about and
the historians with enough to write
about but all the rest of US will reap
the big rewards from this dogmatic
conflict.
For what we are witnessing is a
tremendous change in the character
of the Mississippi Negro, hitherto a
dispirited and lost soul with no real
sense of personal identity.
For many years there have been
Negroes also whites, but for
different reasons-whose counsel has
been "Move North" eff we are not
wanted in the South" some Negroes
have reasoned, '1et's get out, save
our own skins, and the devil take the
hindmost.
Racists, on the other hand, have
said, "You are not wanted in the
South, get out" From this grew the
so-called reverse" Freedom Riders.
But James Meredith, a young man,
and dozens of older Negroes in Hat
tiesburg, Petal, Biloxi, Ruleville,
jackson, and other sections of Missis-
sippi, are now rejecting this advice.
They do not choose to run.
Faced, as they are, with economic
boycotts, social ostracism, even the
midnight shotgun blast, they have
decided that Mississippi is as much
their home as it is the home of
those who would keep them in
slavery. For 100 years since Eman-
cipation and for 200 years before
that these Negroes worked its soil
and toiled on its plantations.
What pleasure, the elderly now
ask, is there to be found in Chicago
or Harlem or Bedford Stuyvesant?
And the young, hard as life has been
in Mississippi, do not find life in the
asphalt jungle any more enticing. A
of visitors to Mississippi have
in recent weeks asked both young
and old Mississippi Negroes why they
are now fighting so vigorously for
equal rights after so many years of
seeming unconcern.
THIS is OUR HOME"
The answers among all age groups
have been surprisingly similar. what |

MISC Enrolment
Hits AN-Time
Peak at 4,478

BOZEMAN-With 4,478 students
registered as the autumn quarter gets
underway, Montana State College has
the largest enrolment in it's history,
reports Martha L. Hawksworth, reg
istrar.
At this time year ago enrolment
was 4,031.
This years freshman class is also
the largest in MISC history with 1921
new freshmen students, Miss Hawks
worth said. The total freshman class,
including transfer freshmen and for
mer students, numbers LIP COM
pared to 1929 last fall.
Figures show that 3,033 men and
LAS women are registered. A break
down of the totals show that there
are 1,712 freshmen, GIG sophomores,
734 juniors, and 764 seniors. Also
enrolled are Fl psychriatric nurses
and 331 graduate students.
The Professional Schools division
has the largest enrolment, total
of 1928. Totals for other divisions
are: Letters and Science, 1,165; Engi-
neering 963, Education GIL, and Ag-
riculture All.

of Russell Barthell's master plan for
the university financing and academ-
ic programs. The master plan will go
long way toward Strengthening out
the language and figures used when
the University System is being pro-
NOTED. Especially in Billings where
confusion is used to push grandiose
dreams. Last week the Governors
Committee on Mental Health sug-
gested, for different reasons, that
the first satellite of the Warm
Springs State Hospital be located in
Billings.
Pages II to % of Barthell's re-
port nail down the programs at the
units to prevent duplication. Pages
81 and 80 establish policy on fee
waivers which has been a special
abuse at Eastern. The students at
Eastern just aren't so smart that they
don't have to pay the fees charged
at other units.
On page SO it explains how the
units can avoid the $618,000 loss
which occurred this month. Income
over-realized should be spent for de-
ferred maintenance, emergency CAPT
tai items and operating emergencies.
But it allows for the income to be
used as it will be this time in fund

$8.6 MILLION IN

The Regents gave the nod to the
preparation of $8.6 million worth of
new buildings preliminary plans. This
re-planning will be done by the in
situations own funds. The units have
been dissuaded from trying to get

loans because FHHFA is a little
discouraged with Montana planning
after the people turned down the
prison bond issue last election.

The University System lost
S618,323 at this months meet
ing of the Regents, Monday
and Tuesday. The leverage"
comes from over realized in
come which was impossible to
spend under h austerlty
budgeting system presently
imposed. The Regents cut roughly
this same sum out of the proposed
budget for the coming 1963-64 BIZ
ennium and the legislature will not
be asked for money to cover the
building maintenance which was de-
ferred from this present budget.
At a special press conference after
the Regents adjourned, Gov. Tim
Babcock lauded the efforts of Budget
Director Ed Nelson for securing from
the unit presidents pledges that they
will not ask the legislature for more
than the 1854 million proposed in
his budget, whether or not it is ade-
quate.
This is the same type of sword
former Gov. Don Nutter held over
his administration when he ex-
tracted statements from institution
heads that they could live within
sharply cut back budgets. The re-
cent events at the Boulder Train
ing School show the results of this
type of thinking. Defer your obi

away-the same philosophy as
used by fly-by-night operators and
other gangsters.
The Boulder Training School and
Hospital is to receive badly needed
assistance from Glen Lockwood's Vo-
cational Rehabilitation. A $50, 1000
project to refrain selected patients
will enable some to return as pro-
ductive members of society, was APP
proved by the Board of Education.
The B. of E. also gave the green
light to the Unemployment Compen-
sation Commission plan to upgrade
the durability of unemployed under
the Manpower Development Act. This
program was stymied last month by
DR.. Gordon Doering. UCC selects
the people to be trained and the De-
partment of Public instruction furn
isles the courses of instruction. The

thing the first year but matching
funds must be provided for the sec

Doering was the only "no" vote
recorded when the Regents approved
the training of the second group of
Peace Corps trainees for Ecuador at
Montana State College in Bozeman.
Babcock, who along with Doerlng
and Cong. Battin, opposes the Peace
Corps, was not asked to give his
views.

in Oregon and this region are keenly
aware of the Importance of fedora
activities not only in agriculture
and forestry, but in many other
fields. Hatfield enumerated the
| perplexing problems of today which
"will obviously be compounded in
the future unless steps are taken now
to cope with them.
Hatfield looked forward to "ade-
quate planning and cooperative
effort" to maintain "payrolls and
Fairgrounds, business and beauty,
food lands and fun lands.
''To the end that our joint efforts
may result in equitable solutions to
common problems" the Republican
Governor pledged the cooperation
of the people of Oregon.
Farmers, businessmen, educators,
civic, spiritual and government lead
ers appeared on the program at Port
land.
MUST HAVE GROUP ACTION
The success of any effort in this
direction, it was stated, is the use
of new tool for group action.
Speaking for The National Catholic
Rural Life Conference, The Reverend
Alcuin Heibel, OSB, said, "More eff
fective utilization of the human and
natural resources of rural areas can
be accomplished only through group
action. Efforts by generous and tai
ented individuals are not enough.
He envisioned the Rural Areas
Development Program as tool
for group action and said, Gas we
examine this program, let us keep
in mind that it is tool not a
panacea".
Again emphasizing that the Every
bone and sinew of our strength" as
\ nation ''has sprung from rural
and their natural re-
sources from people and their
and'', Bert Cole, Commissioner of
Public Lands for the State of Wash
ngton. expressed his firm conviction
hat local initiative must be allowed
% arrive at grass roots solutions,
hat outside assistance SHOULD aug
nent and be teamed with local boot
trap efforts to better the commu-
ity".
AS an observer and reporter at
he Portland conference it was evil
ent that there is leadership in the
even western states which recognize
he need for group action, without
'hich no program for a solution to
ne problem of depressed rural Amer
"a can be a success.
The key remains in the hands of
he individuals who must constitute
lie group at the grass roots.
Has the campaign of recent
years dramatizing "individualism"
been effective enough to thwart
