...presence of people. When Searcher beams light from its circling radarlike dishes, Scanner's flailing arm picks up the beacon with its light sensors; then Captive, impelled by a motor, skids and twitches about on a mirrored platform. "The machines process information," says Seawright, 30, an Ole Miss grad who instructs at Manhattan's Electronic Music Center (run by Princeton and Columbia). "Their cells and sensors collect information on light and sound, and they behave accordingly. My aim is to produce a kind of patterned personality. Just as a person you know very well can surprise...
...last week, there has been another indication that Ole Miss and Mississippi society will not tolerate the kind of academic freedom commonplace at most other state universities. During a faculty art show last week, Robert L. Tettleson, chairman of the Art Department, personally took down a painting by Jairo Amaris, an assistant professor of Art. Amaris had been hired under an agreement stipulating that none of his work would ever be censored. When his painting was romoved, Amaris took all the rest of his works out of the show. The AAUP will consider whether or not to defend Amaris...

They gave him two standing ovations, and there was little, if any, overt harrassment. In 1962, only four years before, the two Kennedys had been bitterly resented in Mississippi, and at Ole Miss. Bumper stickers were circulated reading. "The Castro Brothers Are in the White House," and "Mississippi: Kennedy's Hungary...
...would be ridicuously inccurate to see any significant swing to the Left at Ole Miss. Liberalism has been tolerated in the last few years. There has never been a place at Ole Miss for any real rebellion, but in the past, the students have consistently elected liberals and moderates as editors of the Mississippi. Even the Mississippian's temporary summer editor. Bob Boyd, criticized the Oxford school system for failing to observe federal desegregation guidelines. Boyd also attacked Representative Jamie Whitten (D.-Miss.), a conservative segregationist from Oxford's congressional district...
