Meredith, the Negro who says he may quit school unless the campus situa- tion becomes more conducive to learning. Students demonstrated inside the cafeteria Thursday night when Meredith went to eat. When he left the building, more than 300 students outside shouted jeers and taunts at the 29-year-old air force veteran, Harass Again number of students -had gath- ered in the west wing of the cafeteria where Meredith norm- ally dines. When Meredith, accompanied by three justice department men, entered the cafeteria, he saw the mass of students and went instead to the east wing to eat. The students hurried into the east wing and started a com- motion. The demonstration was the most serious since Nov. 1 when Chancellor John D. Williams warned students the university first of his race ever knowingly admitted to the university. Several persons were taken into custody briefly by campus security policemen, who dis- persed the demonstrators with- out calling on federal troops who were nearby.

ISN'T UNUSUAL Thus all the time and care that went into arranging the backgr d and ling the presidential identity goes out the window. It happened to Eisenhower. Now it has hap- pened to Kennedy. In 1959, Eisenhower had a se- ries of White House background dinners for a select group of newspaper men who sent out and wrote what he said he thought without saying he said Then a public press confer- ence one reporter, not at the dinners, asked Eisenhower bluntly if he wasn't the one who had done the -talking. He ad- mitted he was, He said he wasn't sure these background dinners were a good practice. But he continued them. Twice in a row--at the end of 1961 and the end of 1962-- Kennedy held similar back- grounders at Palm Beach. And both times the reporters pres- ent wrote stories on what he thought without saying he told | them.

But it's a system which feeds on itself. Theré are more and more. background conferences, not only with Kennedy but with various officials below the White House level. A real danger in a_back- grounder is that a member of the government can try to influ- ence public opinion without tak- ing public what he says. $1 MILLION BLAZ IN BUSINESS AREA Kitchener Fire Under Control.

Officials said that Kennedy's determination to carry out pol- icies he considers right despite allied opposition does not mean that the president is indifferent to the need for the fullest possi- ble consultation and agreement when time permits and com- promises are workable. But they said that sometimes vital security interests require decisions of the highest impor- tance on short notice, as in the case of Cuba.
