Mr.. de Lugo stated that he
is shocked at a brazen attempt

OF the consequences said de
Lugo, who also said that
there were two particular
statements contained in the
radio address delivered over
WIyI Tuesday night BY Unity
Party Chieftain, Senator Earle
B. Ottley, that both sickened
and disguised me. That state
ments like these should be
made, shows the ruthlessness
and reckleSsness of the Unity

truth on Monday night.

Students must never be afraid to ex-
press their feelings, for the cause is a
Just one. Although we do not suggest
violence, we feel they should continue
to hold public demonstrations, both oft
en- and enthusiastically. Even our dicta-
tori. federal government can not deny
freedom of assembly.
They should demand that candidates
IN future campus elections state their
stand in regard to the current contro-
versy. If o of them have a satisfact-
Dry position, then a candidate should be
entered who does.
All members of the administration and
faculty who have suggested compro-
mise, should be regarded as enemies and
treated thusly. Perhaps, one day the
state will be fortunate enough to be rid
itself of these menaces to our society.
Victory or defeat now rests suuarelv
Or the shoulders of Ole Miss students.
They may be comforted ITO know, how
ever, that they have the solid backing of
all sincere, dedicated Mississippians.

State Solid Behind I'm Students
By Jack Shearer
Gan EDITORIAL)

Despite the insidious demoralizing tao
tic OF both federal agents and certain
school authorities, the great majority of
University of Mississippi students have
continued to keep the faith" All re-
sponsible Mississippians applaud this
courageous stand, made even in the face
of threatened reprisals.
But the fight has just begun. Repre-
sentativeS of the federal government are
using every mems at their disposal to
influence student leaders, thinking that
this action might hold the key to a pos
Sible breakdown of principle" Certain
weak administrators and faculty men,
bers are adding their voices to the 81
Surrender" chorus. A campus newspaper
has periured itself.
Yet, those attending the University
continue to display the indomitable spir-
it and enthusiasm of freedom loving pat
riots. If they continue to act in such a
magnificent manner, victory will be the
reward. And, the victory will be a sweet
one, indeed.

For Protection Of Civil RIGHTS

Lexington Rotarians moved Tuesday to ~spearhead a state
wide drive in support OF browbeaten University of Missis-
cinri ct,1dautc
Holmes County herald., 1962-10-18

An unanimous resolution by
the club called for the forma-
ton of countrywide organiza-
ton of civic and luncheon
clubs to protest the violation
of civil rights of Ole Miss
students and other citizens of
the state.
The measure, prompted by
j. A. Thornton of Lexington,
urged all other Rotary Clubs
in the state to promote SINH
liar coalitions so that a state
wide organization of civic
and luncheon clubs could be
formed.
Aimed At Authorities
The motion was clearly
aimed at both federal and
school authorities, pointing
out that the university of
Mississippi is the property
and institution of the taxpay-
ers of the state Of Mississippi
and that students at said Uni
versity are entitled to enjoy
the constitutional rights of
freedom of assembly and of
speech without coercion"
In suggesting the adoption
of the resolution, Mr.. Thorn
ton noted that eve may have
lost a battle, but we have not
lost the war"
We are going to lose the
war, however, if the average
person doesn't act now" he
said.
The proposal, in it's final
form, was drafted by Paul
Lindholm, Edwin White, Par
ham Williams, Jr., G. H. Nc
Morrough, and Pat Barrett,
all local attorneys. E. w.
Hooker was appointed chair
man of the resolution commit
tee by Eugene Herman, who
was acting as president in
the absence of w. r.. Sullivan.
