PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Campus Crime Wave Just as the crime rate in big cities of this nation has been going steadily uphill, so has the crime rate at this University. In fact, one Might even call it a crime wave. Every night- the . University libraries account for fewer and fewer books. Theft is the cause of thil situation. With the litutie3 funds available for maintaihing the already understocked libraries, not one person at this University can or shculd tolerate such thievery. We are indeed fortunate at this University that we have freedom to come and go in our libraries. We do not have to undergo a humiliating and time-consuming search of our belongings when leaving the library. We, - as stu dents, must see that check-out points never need to be set up in our libraries. However, if the rate of book stealing remains at its present level or increases we see no other alternative. j it has taken many years of effort to secure addi 'onal funds for increased facilities and books. Neith the University norihe students can afford to have th . effort go for naught. . - .- - - - Use 'Series' p Tickets _ Tonight the University Artists Seriti will present its. first program of the fail term—John Browning, pianist. This year, under the. direction of ' . Mrs. Raymond Brown, the Series will bring performe - rs to this Univer sity in many interest' areas. _ Much t . ) our rowel. this well-organized and extremely beneficial rT::sram is being taken too lightly by some of tiro Lody. This is evidenced by the number of tickoLs sludents pick up at the Helsel Union desk and r'.ever rue to the limited seating available in Schwab, we urge students to use the tickets which they have secured and i. it is impossible for them .to attend the program, that they give their ticket to another student who will attend. Student neglect on this matter causes shameful waste of valuable seating area and is an unfounded insult to the, commendable efforts of the Artists - Series committee and director.

As I'm a senior now, lieel called upon to make a few suggestions for the good of the University family (as a whole).

Amendments to the bill which is over a year • old have toned it down considerably, but lack of faith in the judgment of the American people is Written into every line of the portion direct ing the Post Office to detain any Communist propaganda the mails. _ The fact that postal rates are being raised again is bad enough, but seemingly necessary to enable the Post Office to operate in the black. When Congress expresses a need for a bill to prevent Ameri cans from receiving Soviet litopa ganda in the mail, it is saying democracy '(or freedom) is not working. It is saying that Ameri cans must be protected from, fall ing prey to the ,Communists; be cause they have so_ ' much more to offer than a democracy.: 71 This.portion of the bill•is very probably unconstitutional and is certainly un-American . . - Whether or not Communism is "ever is a moot question here. The qu e stion is how' will we differ from the Communists when we begin placing more end -more re strictions on our freedoms?

I(AP)L-A boo ing crowd of students and a report of gunshots scattered the" mood of easing tensions on the Univer sity of , Mississippil campus yes terday. Still, there were signs that fed= eral officials, holding a tight grip on the situation, feel the. crack ling sense of danger is letting up. Nicholas Katzenbach, deputy U.S. attorney general, said he thought; "we've gone .a long way toward ;relieving tensions" here and getting back to normal. The developments came near the end of Negro James H. Mere dith's first week as a student at previously all-white Ole Miss. The .29-year-old Meredith planned to leave the campus for the weekend -- destination unan nounced, but - .believed: to be meeting with his wife and perhaps their 2-year-old son. !The report - of the.shots fired at an Army vehicle carrying three or four soldiers came in just as the school day Was nearing its nd.

'The report of gunfire was the first since the rioting on the cam- Pus Sunday night and in the town square Monday. Negro Transfer Denied •by Court ALEXANDRIA, Va.
