Ole Miss Guilty Of Interference
DALLAS — (UPI) — The University of Mississippi was under close and continued observation today by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools for allowing political interference in Negro James Meredith's attempt to register as a student.
The association did not strip Ole Miss of accreditation yesterday as it could have. It did, however, find the school guilty of political interference when Gov. Ross Barnett took over last September as registrar to keep Meredith from registering.
The association, which has 388 college and university members in 11 southern states decided to suspend sentence. Six other Mississippi schools were covered in the order because they are state-supported. They are Mississippi State, the University of South Mississippi, Delta State, Jackson State, Alcorn A&M and Mississippi State College for Women.
MEREDITH WAS finally registered after U.S. marshals and troops were brought in and two persons were killed in a campus riot.
The association said it is watching conditions at Ole Miss and "failure of the administration and faculty to maintain, through normal student discipline, a climate conducive to intellectual pursuits . . . will be considered cause for immediate and rigorous re-examination of the accredited status of the institution."
IT IS STILL deeply concerned over the possibility of new riots and violence at Ole Miss, the association said.
Chancellor John D. Williams of the University of Mississippi said the school was "deeply appreciative" of the expression of understanding and support.
The association accepted the assurances of Barnett and the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning that there is no interference now. However, it warned that re-submission to political interference, any legislative punitive action or riots may bring quick loss of accreditation.

High School Seniors To Take Test Here
About 30 high school seniors will be on campus Saturday taking the College Board Entrance Examination.
The College Board Entrance Exam is the required admissions test for many colleges, so most will be taking the exam for entrance requirements. However, the person now attending a university which does not require the exam and wishes to transfer schools may be requested to take the exam.
KU is the regional testing center for the Northeast Kansas area. The testing period will last from 8:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. in the Big Eight Room at the Kansas Union.
Neither KU nor any other Kansas university requires the exam, although a number of them make use of the scores if they are available.
Jimmy Green Gets Fewer Paint Jobs
KU students have outgrown vandalism.
Joseph Skillman, campus police chief, said yesterday that in the 15 years he has been at KU vandalism has been decreasing steadily.
"I think the decrease is because the students are becoming more sophisticated," he said. "The nightly painting of Jimmy Green is a thing of the past."
The only real trouble we have had this year has been with the traffic control booths and traffic signs, Skillman said.
On several occasions windows have been broken in the booths, but this is mainly because they are new, he said.
We have had several reports from the sheriff's office on stolen traffic signs, which seem to be being used for room decorations, he added

Albert Schweitzer, the well-known musician and missionary, is not a Christian, a minister said here last night.
Schweitzer Termed Unchristian by Minister
MAYNARD STROTHMANN, director of Westminster Center, said that even as a theological student, Schweitzer was not satisfied with the Christian beliefs and later formulated his own philosophy.
The Rev. Mr. Strothmann discussed the philosophy of Albert Schweitzer at a study group on "Great Men of the 20th Century."
Schweitzer bases his philosophy on the will to live, or reverence for life. The Rev. Mr. Strothmann said that it was an egotistic kind of philosophy.
"SCHWEITZER BELIEVES that this egotistic base must be extended to the fullest limit, then the will to live becomes the will to sacrifice as well." the speaker said.
"Schweitzer rejected traditional Christianity and traditional rationalism in formulating his philosophy. The problem as Schweitzer saw it was for man to have the ability to think and act freely in an ethical world.
"SCHWEITZER SEES all creation as made up of wills to live. He believes that somehow these 'wills to live' experience wholeness together, and this makes life," the Rev. Mr. Strothmann continued.
"So Schweitzer based ethical action on sense experience in order to face honestly the terrible order of the want and meaning in life. He based ethical action on the world as it is," the Rev. Mr. Strothmann said.
The speaker said that the missionary believes that the human species is not to be considered superior to other life species. This sentiment gives rise to three kinds of unethical actions, according to Schweitzer's beliefs.
"One group is actions that are unnecessary. This includes purposely stepping on insects or carelessly plucking a flower.
Another action is destroying a life for self preservation, the Rev, Mr. Strothmann said. He explained that although the action was for self preservation, it did not absolve a person from the action.
The third unethical action, the minister went on, was to maintain other kinds of existences, this not freeing a person either.
