"If  America isn't for everybody,   it   isn't   America."   said  . v  /yn y,
Judd Arnett, columnist of the  \:fj - fgfyf-
Detroit Free Press, in his address on "The Tragedy of Mississippi" Tuesday night.
Arnett began by typlifying
the mood prevalent in Mississippi before the Oxford incident
with a pathetic incident.
"A negro child of 13. playing in a truck cab, was shot
in ihe stomach when he ran
from    investigating    police.
'Help   me!'   he   cried.   'Don't
touch me!' was She reiori -of
police."
"James Meredith (first negro
to enroll at 'Ole Miss')  was a
brave and courageous man," according to Arnett. As he faced
such  opposition,  "his life was,
and still is, in danger."
Arnett continued, "Meredith
faced opposition from state and
local officials based on the
tenth amendment to the Constitution." (Powers not delegated to the United States, nor

"Most feel that the law of the

campus and set off the riots; so
there must be something wrong
with the law of the land."
■ Federal troops were called in
tp halt the rioting that began
the night before Meredith's registration on October 2.  Arnett
encountered  a   group  of  state
poliGe  at  an  intersection  one-
half   mile   from   the   erupting
campus that same night. They
were doing nothing to halt vio-%
Jence on the campus.
"The same breakdown "pi law
enforcement was  demonstrated
by city police the following day
in the town-square rioting," he
added.
