Schools Get
Stern Warning
DALLAS — The powerful
Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools put Mississippi’s state
colleges and universities on strict
probation Wednesday with a warn
ing that accreditation may be lift
ed at any time.
The action was, in effect, a
blunt “hands-off” warning to the
state legislators, politician's, and
pressure groups such as the White
Citizens councils. It also was a
demand that student discipline on
the campuses be maintained.
IT STEMMED directly from the
riots on the University of Mis
sissippi campus two months ago
when James H. Meredith, a Ne-
?ro, was admitted, and the charge
that Gov. Ross Barnett and other-
state officials had illegally inter
fered with the university admin
istration at that time.
The association’s college dele
gate assembly unanimously adopt
ed by voice vote a proposal that
the state institutions in Mississ- i
ippi “be placed under continued and '
careful observation.”
THERE WILL be “immediate
and rigmrous re-examination of
the accredited status of the institu
tions,” it said, “if there is evidence
of:
1. “Any weakening of the con
stitutional board, the board of
trustees.
2. “Any encroachment by pres
sure groups, investigating com
mittees or other agencies, as
judged by normal standards, upon
the freedom of the faculty, the
administration, or the students to
ilearn and teach.
3. “Any manipulation of appro
priation bills as a punitive meas
ure or as undue influence upon
internal operations of the institu
tions or any one of them.
4. “Failure of the administration
and faculty to maintain through
normal student discipline a cli
mate conductive to intellectual
pursuits.”

MOSCOW — The Communist
party and the Soviet government
Wednesday ordered into effect an
inspection system making every
Workman a watchman against
cheating and poor workmanship.
This implements a decision
feached by the party’s Central
Committee last week. A joint
state-party control or inspection
system was set up for all pro

This inspection system is one of
the major agencies by which the

VATIVAN CITY —- Pope John
XXIII was ill Wednesday and re

formal denials — that he might
undergo surgery soon.
Two doctors called on the 81-
year-old ruler of the Roman
Catholic Church, spent consider
able time with him, with one
remaining overnight in the a-
postolrc palace.
Vatican officials at first said
Pope John had a cold that devel

enza, forcing him to cancel his
regular Wednesday general au
dience.
Later, the same officials said
it would be more accurate to say
simply that the Pope was indis
posed, without specifying the na

AUSTIN — State officials re
leased Wednesday a list of 52
Texas school districts which fed
eral authorities say must be inte
grated racially by next year in
order to receive federal funds.
The Texas Education Agency
said some of these schools are
now integrated, but said it does
not keep records on segregated
and integrated schools. The list
of the 52 schools was prepared
in Washington.
Leon Graham, assistant to Ed
ucation Commissioner J. W. Ed

Washington to the Texas school
districts this month stating that
both construction funds and o-
perating funds would be cut off
“for children living on feder

dren will be educated in dese
gregated schools.”

of round-table chairmen will be on
hand to complement the keynoters
when SCONA begins Dec. 12.
Newspapermen, educators, in

chosen to referee the student dis

toughest jobs of the conference.
THEY MUST skillfully guide,
