Effigy Outcry Sparks Fresh Unrest at Ole Miss
On the Mississippi campus 35 students gathered before James Merediths apartment after midnight and set an effigy ablaze with fireworks. Federal troops moved in to quell the disturbance while a dummy with a Go back to Africa sign appeared in a dorm window. Enrollment had fallen since Merediths 29 year old Negro student status drew rioting. The 5th Circuit gave Gov. Barnett a probation until Oct. 12 on contempt charges, and the Army cutback reduced the 12,000 man force with units redeployed to Memphis and Columbus, as Oxford returned to normal and shopkeepers reopened.
