• OXFORD, Miss..(N) —,Univer
sity of Mississippi officials warned
yesterday they will not• tolerate
further demonstrations in the
campus cafeteria against Negro
student James H. Meredith.
After three nights when stu
dents hooted and jeered at Mere
dith as he ate supper at the cafe
teria, Dean of . Students L. L. Love
told the student body that further
outbreaks in the cafeteria will
lead to, disciplinary action.
THE STATEMENT was issued
hours after an unnamed Justice
Department spokesman in Wash
ington accused university officials
of failing to maintain proper dis
cipline on campus.
The nightly demonstrations
started after Meredith announced
he would not return to the uni
versity campus unless the atmos
phere becomes "more conducive
to learning."' •
•
• -
The • Student -Judicial Council
held a special meeting to consid-.
er charges against a student ap
prehended after Thursday night's
demonstration.
Shortly before 5 p.m. opening
of the cafeteria last night, campus
security- police turned out in re
inforced numbers.
Whe - n- Meredith entered the
cafeteria last night and took a
table, most of the.students - picked
up their trays and walked out
silently.
Campus police and school offi
cials checked the identification
cards of all students including
Meredith—as they entered. Per
sons standing around the build
ing were dispersed.
Earlier, Chancellor J. D. Wil
liams, speaking out at about the
same time as the Justice Depart
runt spokesman was criticizing
the university, said the latest se
ries .of demonstrations was Mere
dith's own fault.
"WE WERE getting.along quiet
ly and normally," said Williams,
"then Meredith saw fit to give a
press conference in which he im
plied that students and others
were not doing what they should
to make his life what he thought
it should be."
A Department of Justiee
spokesman said much of Mere
dith's campus harassment was
due to Ole Miss adminNtrators
being unable or unwilling ,to deal
with aggressive white students,_

USG Court Studies
Grade Requirements
The grade point' average re
quirement for students seeking to
serve on the Undergraduate Stu
dent Government Congress will
be studied by the USG Suprerne
Court and USG's By-Laws Com
mittee, USG President Dea ri
Wharton said Thursday night.
In announcing officially to Con
gress that there are six • vacant
congressional seats, he said that
the average requirement is un
clear.
A by-laws provision in the USG
constitution - states: "There shall be
a- previous term average of 2:0 and
a 2.0 All-University average for
all U.S.G.• officers."
THE STIPULATION of a pre
vious term. aVerage requirement
is apparently not in agreement
with action - taken March 8, 1962,
when Congress adopted a 2.0, All-
University average requirement
for inclusion in the by-laws. At
that time Congress defeated a
motion calling- for a 2.0 previous
term average, Wharton. said.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Although none of the students
who held the now vacant seats
would be affected by deleting the
previous term- requirement from
the constitution, Wharton said- he
wanted the court to clarify the
issue so that it will not be ques
tioned in the future.
Congress was asked also to con
sider a method for reducing the
number of ele'ctions during the
year. Funds which could be used
in other ways are now spent on
special- elections caused by res
ignations or academic
ity, he said.
LAST TERM two special elec
tions were held in addition to the
fall congressional election.
The election of new congress
men for this term has been set for
Jan. 22. Self-nominating petitions
will be available .at the Hetzel

ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga (il 3 ) President -Moire
Tshombe of Katanga has offered to yield peacefully to the
IThited Nations if he is permitted to remain as a provincial
president in a unified Congo, Western diplomats reported
yesterday.
Diplomatic sources said Tshombe's offer included free
entry for the U.N.- into his last
stronghold, at Kolwezi, and free
U.N. movement elsewhere in the
province.
The informants said Tshombe
wants the United Nations to put
the proposal to the central Congo
lese government, which - would
have to agree to such an arrange
ment.
However, Tshombe left Elisa
bethville late yesterday on an un
disclosed mission.
THE INFORMANTS said re
ports from Elisabethville indicated
Tshombe headed either toward
Kolwezi, his stronghold 150 miles
northwest of Elisabethville, or to
ward the British-controlled Rho
desias.
Tshombe would be beyond U.N.
control in either Kolwezi or the
Rhodesias and free to effect the
scorched earth policy he had
threatened to wage against the
U.N. .military takeover of Ka
tanga'.
Officials at U.N. headquarters
in New York said late yesterday
they had no word of Tshombe's re
ported peace, offer, but a U.N.
spokesman said the United Na
tions would not relay it to the
Leopoldville government. Th e
United Nations takes the position
that such matters are the concern
only of the Congolese people,
However, it was believed that
Tshombe's reported offer could
reach Leopoldville through, other
channels if necessary.
TSHOMBE'S reported of fe r
came as U.N. troops moved slowly
on the road from Jadotville to
ward Kolwezi, a hydroelectric and
mining center 150 miles northwest
of Elisabethville. Tshombe's mer
cenaries and gendarmerie there
had threatened to destroy mining
and power installations if the
U.N. tried to take the town.
A South African Press Associa
tion report received in Johannes
burg said Tshombe spoke to his
ministers in Kolwezi yesterday
morning over the Union Miniere
radio and was believed to have
asked them to suspend scorched
earth plans and meet him in Elis
abethville for truce talks with the
U.N.
The diplomatic informants said
Tshombe also wants the central
government to grant full pardons
to his' cabinet ministers and offi
cials and to grant amnesty to his
army and police. _
The informants also indicted
that Tshombe is prepared to ac
cept a' lesser' role than the one
assigned to him before — he took
Katanga out of the Congo shortly
after Congolese independence 30
months ago.
