A few minutes before, a co- ed had said the same wun), almost the exact words. And several more students did later. Along with their memories of college days among the trees of the university campus, the} present generation of Ole Miss} students will have to Hage co a night of exposed hatreds} amid the stink of tear gas.

The pop of tear gas grenade launchers became almost con- tinuous. Blinding clouds cut communications on the main axis of the campus. The last effort that had any resemblance of light hearted-/ ness came when students got a pus fire engines. With them The sight of the Greek - col- ummned glycéum Building, the original college structure built in 1848, ringed by marshals who wore gas masks and carried a grostesque blend of battle equip- ment--that alone was enough to give the feeling of a bad dream.

A camera car was methodic- ally smashed. Pop bottles were thrown. Then the outnumbered officers let loose a barrage of tear gas.

Appearing perfectly at east,) he's quick with a smile for any well-wisher and gives a friendly wave to' people he knows in the courtroom. Standing five feet, seven inches and weighing 137 pounds, he seems at first glance to be an unlikely figure to go agains more than a century ofs egrega- tion tradition at the University of Mississippi. He tried three times in 10 days to enroll at the university and turned back another time because U.S. Attorney-General Robert Kennedy feared violence if Meredith and federal mar- shals ran up against a citizens' army massed on the campus. Federal marshals finally estab- lished him on the campus Sun- day night and a pitched battle followed. But the strain, undeniable as it is, doesn't show.

Only action by President Ken. nedy could halt the work stop-| page, other than immediate agreement on a new work con. tract, which seemed remote. But there was no word that the president was considering invoking the labor law to force the union dockers back to work for an 80-day cooling-off period.

Meredith's father, now 70, says his father was a slave. Although Cap Meredith never got past the fourth grade, all 10 of his children graduated from high school and seven went to college.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) -- The University of Mississippi en- rolled James H. Meredith, a Negro, as a student today. His presence on campus had sparked night - long rioting in which two persons died. It bole gig 7:15 2 day--almost jours after rioting started--that Brig-Gen. Charles Billingslea, commander of federal troops in Mississippi, was able to say: "I now de- clare this 'area secure."

"All of the witnesses neces- sary for Maj. Platt to call in support of his defence were in Indochina," Mr, Laishley said, Maj.
