able. Modern chronological develop
ments require the most advanced in
tellectual skills for their conception and
progress. Without such skills, industry
of today cannot compete or even begin.
Thus. the concentration of modern in
dustry in close proximity to the high
scientific skills in graduate schools is
not surprising.'
The words in quotation marks are
from a recent edition of Tulane Uni

and high-leveI educational institutions.
We bring it up again in order to
point out that this stage in the tech

the time for Mississippi to allow poll

tons. Our campuses must be posted
off-limits to demagogues of all eche-
Ions, or the furnaces will grow cold all

State University's school of

million surplus at the end

This figure did not include,
he said, new or increased
expenditures that may arise;
nor the states increasing
wealth. its natural growth

CaAo4laA
rs The Future HopeIess!'

University OF Mississippi STANDS To-Day
like q large mirror in which is reflect
ed the entire state and all it's people,
as the nation and the world sees us.
Our state has been and is being
judged daily by the events which tran
spire at Ole Miss. AS the University
goes, SO goes Mississippi. We will stand
or fall in direct proportion to the way
problems at the institution are solved,
or resolved. Other state institutions of
higher learning will be judged accord
ingly.
The future belongs to those who
prepare for it = and without a superior
system of public education, especially
higher education, there will be no flu
tulre to speak of for Mississippi. We
will be doomed.
Modern industry, on which our
future depends, is keyed to personnel
possessing the highest knowledge and
scientific skills. These are obtainable
only through education and training
s and through research conducted almost
entirely in graduate schools of the high
est rank. 1t is no accident that virtual
ly all of the highly scientific e~lectronic
industries are going to California and
Massachusetts. The research programs
in top ranking NIT and the University
at Berkeley have consistently paced the
nation.
Important industry will not go
where educational facilities are not full
" adequate or superior nor is it's
highly trained personnel willing to live
and work in a negative, closed society.
The cloak of conformity and in
doctrination which the Citizens Coun-
Gil of Mississippi would like to force
upon our colleges Gas well as our
churches and all other facets of life)
would put them. in a s~traitjacket
and stifle and suffocate them just as
surely as they would kill the creativity
and character of citizens dedicated to
seeking the truth in our halls of learn
ing. Without real academic freedom,
there can be no university or institu-
ton of higher learning.
The threat presently posed to the
University Of Mississippi in the loss of
personnel is real. 1t should be met by
leaders of Mississippi who do not wish
to see the state drained of its most
competent teachers, a forerunner of
equally serious losses in other fields
and professions.
Those citizens who have the vel
fare of u state at heart, especially
members Of our state college board,
would do well to meet this situation
with both candor and resolve. They
can do SO by letting the entire world
know this thing Of letting political
hacks and demagogues run the states
colleges is past - and by making it
clear to the University's dedicated
Chancellor and faculty that it is back
ing them UP firmly in their efforts to
make Ole Miss what a real University
should be.
Otherwise there may not be a uni
versity.
Mississippi's future may well de-
pend IN it.

UNI Profs Ask:
eIs the future hopeless 2"

rs the future hopeless
This is a question now being asked
more and more on the campus at the
University of Mississippi by faculty
members, disappointed and unhappy
because of the failure of the admins
tration ia discipline and mete out prop
er punishment to a hardcore of student
offenders who have kept the campus
in a turmoil since the entrance Of
James Meredith as a student. The over
all effecteof these incidents on the cam
pus is a serious loss of respect and
prestige for the University and every
one connected with it.
Informed sources report that Is or
80 faculty members will resign at the
end. Of the year. Some have already
done SO. Many others are considering
such action.
Eight out of eleven persons in the
chemistry department are reported to
be planning to leave, which would vir-
tually wreck the department. The
whole classics and art departments are
similarly affected. The Provost has al
ready resigned, to accept a position
with the Bank of America in San Fran
cisco, and the Director of Institutional
Research is leaving February 1 to fill
the post of Academic Dean at Memphis
State University.
Regardless of what reasons are
publicly given for the designations of
these faculty members and administra-
tive officers, the loss to the University
is real and serious. They will be ex-
tren1ely hard to replace. They repre-
sent some Of the best qualified people
connected with the University.
One source stated that even if
stopped now, the attrition of person
mel is such it will take ten years to
get back the place the University occu-
pied two or three years ago.
s"The University is doomed for a
generation, I'm afraid" another said.
It is a matter of record the Uni
versity has been losing some of its best
faculty members since 1857. Job op-
portunities have increased everywhere
in these United States and there is a
serious shortage of well trained profess
sors in almost all fields. Starting sal
aries at these other, institutions are
from $4,000 up more than they earn at
Ole Miss and other state colleges in
Mississippi.
At a time when other states have
been doing all within their power to
attract and hold qualified teaching per-
sonnet, here in Mississippi they have
been subjected to a continuing cam
paign of carping criticism by a pres
,sure group and certain by now well
known individuals, who have : done
everything within their power to de-
stroy the University as such and re-
mold it in their own image.
During this past academic year the
bitter fruits of their efforts have been
readily apparent I'M the brainwashed
attitudes and actions of some few stu
dents, like the cowardly andsdisgusting
Rebel Underground, and the adults who
have inspired and ~conspired with them.
