''Ole Miss Faces DINNER
Future Than Meredith

The reports from Oxford Mississippi repeated
ly tell of jeering hooting students"-in the cafe
teria in the dormtory, the street. wherever James
Meredith put in an appearance before he left the
campus last week.
The repetition of these incidents can only occur
with the connivance active cooperation of the
University officials 1t is clearly the responsibility
of any properly institution to prevent such
demonstrations, corrosive they to the learning
process for which the university exists In the case
OF Mississippi 1t Is especially the duty and respon-
sibity of the university administration to act be-
cause policies of worldwide importance are in
Volved.
Instead, the University, by neglecting to dis
cipline the offenders, has let crowd of hooligans
take over set the tone for the entire university and
In effect create worldwide reputation of the in
stitution as a haven Of hoodlums.
Whether James Merediths decision were to
stay on as a matter Of principle, or to go elsewhere
in the interests of his own education and the per-
sonal safety of himself and his family makes little
difference now far the University of MISSISSIPPI
pi is concerned The university has damaged itself
beyond repair as institution of learning. LAS an
institution of football, perhaps it survive).
At least one third of the faculty are leaving.
And these by and large the ablest since those
who are leaving those who have been able to get
other jobs. Those who remain largely those who
couldn't connect with other colleges. By the same
token, Mississippi will have to be content to fill
vacancies with applicants unable to get better jobs
for example with colleges not under imminent
danger of losing their academic accreditation.
Somewhat the same process is going on in the
student body. Serious and ambitious students who
understand the Importance of good education, will
go to colleges and universities capable of meeting
their standards Mississippi will become even more

URGES SCHOOLS TO

If school administrations and
student bodies are left alone to
work out their own problems (af-
ter integration) there will be little
furore, if any, and few incidents.
If on the other hand, campuses
are overrun by outsiders who have
no business there, ugly situations
akin to that at Oxford could be
created. This will be doubly true
if agitators from outside the state
are allowed to converge on the
schools. - Anderson, SC, DAILY

representative.
The pertinent question is who
the government represents. A gov
ernment that represents the corp
crate interests cannot also be rep
resentative of the working class.
This is because, If the working
class is benefited, the corporate in
terests lose some of their power
over the working class. The most
striking Illustration of this is the
lot of the migrant workers and
the Mexican "wet-backs" that are
permitted to enter the country
illegally to work on the landed
estates Of the western states. Be
cause these farm laborers are not
represented, their lot is dire in
deed. The wealthy land owners
however are able to elect and de-
feat representatives and otherwise
use the checks and balances Of
American government to their own
advantage.
Because the Negro generally
also is not represented, the econ
omic lot of the Negro has not i'm
proved despite massive changes in
the relationships between the races
in the past ten years. The effect of
this lack of representation of the
Negro citizens was described very
clearly by Whitney M. Young, Jr.,
executive director of the National
Urban League in addressing the
sixth annual convention of the
s ou thern Christian Leadership
Converence (SCLC). Rev. Martin
Luther King incidentally is the
head of the SCLC. According to
Mr.. Young, in spite of massive
changes that have occurred in re-
cent times in relation to the so
called race issues in the United
States, little if anything has been
accomplished in solving the basic
meat, bread, and potatoes" prob
lens confronting nearly 20 million
colored citizens Of America at this
moment.
To substantiate this statement,
he cited the following facts:
(1) The average income of the
colored family today is 81 per cent
of that enjoyed by its white equiv
alent, which actually represents a
decline of three per cent since
1852.
(2) One out Of every six col
ored homes In the nation is dilap-
idated and substandard compared
with one out of 80 for white fam
lies. .
(3) The average colored child
receives three and a half years less
education than the average white
child.
a. The life expectancy Of the
average Negro is seven years less
than that Of the average white.
True there is a certain amount
Of representation Of the Negro
within the United States but this
representation is only within the
judicial branches Of the govern
ment. BY means Of this judicial
representation, some minimum
steps have been made concerning
basic civil liberties Of the Negro.
Judicial representation, however,
is not adequate for achieving econ
omic security as the decline in in
come Of the average colored family
as compared with the average
white family clearly shows. This
injustice can only be corrected by
means Of legislative representation.
