IAN exceptional scholar, tea

DR.. Williams in a formal
statement in December said:
@The University and the

sissippi. We must provide
young men such as DR.. Hay
wood with career prospects

nifty and security if our in

"The University of Missis-
sippi and other institutions

must pay competitive salar-
les but must have on their
a mpuses an environment
conducive to intellectual pur-
suits and academic achieve
ment,' the Chancellor con-
tlnued.
1.-THE full. moral and finan-
cial support of the people of
Mississippi is needed as
never before by their insti-
tutions," DR.. Williams said.
We suggest that all of our
readers interested in the fu-
ture Of the University and
in the future of Mississippi
contact Chancellor Williams
and let him know he has
your support. Of you read
our editorial this week you
will see why he needs it,
It would be a very fine
thing if more Mississippians
would speak out to DR.. Will
liams and to members of the
Board of Institutions of High
er Learning in Mississippi
and let them know you sup
, port them in their efforts to
keep the University open and
accredited = and will do
everything possible to back
them up in maintaining dis
cipline and an environment
conducive to learning for all

Lexington's one per cent
municipal sales tax is bring

valorem general tax levy, ac-
cording to Mayor w. B. Ken
ma. The other 5-mill levy of

During 1868 it is estimated
that $42, $4,000 will be gained
from the sales tax, Mr.. Ken

remainder of his term are
from $4,000 to 100000.

In a column two weeks ago,
I deplored the lack Of dignity
shown towards those who
hold high positions In our
Government. I commented
that, from the President
down, all too many lean to-
wards a back-slapping Hi,
Joel" attitude when address
ing those in high places, Such
an approach is actually show
ing a lack Of respect-not to
the man himself but to the
position he holds.
For example. greeting the
President Of the United
States as Jack" whether
you have known him since he
was a little boy or not is
absolutely disrespectful. The
President should be addressed
as "Mr. President" or Sir"
at all times, regardless Of the
circumstances. Even those Of
ficials with whom he works
daily should follow this dig
nified and customary pro-
cedure. The President himself
should expect no less - not
because he is trying to stress
his exalted position, but be-
cause tradition, down through
the years, demands such rec
ognition towards the man
who holds the position that
is the highest honor that our
Government and people can
bestow.
I received many interesting
letters from readers with re-
gard to the comments ex-
pressed in the column. With
out exception, all agreed with
my sentiments.
Among these letters was
one that brought up a side
of the picture that, to me,
would seem we'll worth some
thought on the part of those
responsible for such a reac-
ton. 1t is doubly interesting
as the writer is a school,
teacher. I quote the letter.

Questions, Answers

Question: My wife and I
had a discussion recently
about printed stationery. I
asked what would be wrong
with using an address label
at the top Of the page, as I
have done on this page to
show you what I have in
mind. But she disapproved. I
realize that printed stationery
would look much nicer, but
thought an address, stick-on
label would be acceptable. We
would like your comments on
using an address label in this
manner.
Mr.. H. Sc.
Answer: The name and ad-
dress printed at the top Of
your stationery would be
much more appropriate than
the "stick-on" labels. The
latter come in handy for put
ting on the back of an en-
velope when paying a bill or
