Meredith Waiting Graduation
'Milestone' in Lifelona Task
Jackion, Miss (Ufl To
James H. Meredith, a 30-year-old
Negro, graduation Sunday
from the University of Mis
sissippi is "but a single mile
stone" in a life-long task of
advancing the status of his
people in America.
Meredith collected his cap
and gown this week even be
fore the state college board
cleared the way for his par
ticipation in commencement
exercises at Ole Miss. He took
his final exams Wednesday
and then returned to his home
in Jackson to await the ceremonies.
Miss Pharris Program Entertaining
Although the audiences
which gathered in the Peter
Britt Gardens Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons did not
hear the programs which had
been announced for Elizabeth
Pharris, they did hear delight
ful and entertaining groups
of songs well presented by
this contralto.
Through some error or lack
in communications, the num
bers which Miss Pharris plan
ned to sing for her two ap
pearances this week for
the Britt Gardens Music fes
tival were not announced or
published; instead the pro
gram which she planned for
Wednesday, Aug. 21, was giv
en out instead.
Since the musicians sched
uled to assist Miss Pharris
next week were not available
this week, she was forced to
sing the numbers originally
planned, and announce them
from the stage. Although Miss
Pharris, by her own admis
sion, dislikes to do this, she
managed the chore with
charm.
No Usa Pratandlng
There is no use in pretend
ing that this was completely
satisfactory. Many of the selec
tions were in a foreign lan
guage and this, coupled with
the fact that the concert was
given outdoors, without am
plification equipment, made
it impossible for many in the
audience to know what was
being sung.
Other than this it was a
good concert, and it was ap
preciated by the audience or
less than 100 persons. Miss

a velvet much, especially in
the lower registers, and she
knows how to aing. Her dic
tion and projection are ex
cellent, and for some com
positions, notably the Brahms,
she sings with a brooding
quality that we found espe
cially pleasing.
The contralto opened her
program with old songs of
Irish and Scotch origin, ac
companying herself on beau
tiful Irish harp. Some were
sung in the original Gaelic,
and one, "Keening," is with
out words. For English songs,
which she explained were not
compatible with the Irish
harp, she used a small Ameri
can carriage harp. This group
also contained two American
folk aongs, an amusing compo
sition called "Old Maid's
Song" and said to be of Ken
tucky background, and the

Upstairs In his apartment
in a red brick building sur
rounded by old wooden Negro
homes, Meredith's Wife, Mary
Jane, was in bed recovering
from an operation. On the
week end of his graduation,
Meredith was having to pinch
hit as a baby sitter for their
3-year-old son, John Howard,
and pick up the groceries.
The Negro whose entry into
Ole Miss was accompanied by
the use of hundreds of federal
marshals and up to 30,000
Army troops told a reporter
he hopes to go "three or four
years more" to college but he
familiar "Scarlet Ribbons
TheBe were sung with great
feeling and tenderness.
Accompanied By Pianist
For her last two groups,
Miss Pharris was accompa
nied by Margaret Moore, pi
anist from Beaverton, Ore. Al
though the two women had
not performed together before
Wednesday afternoon, they
did so admirably. After the
Thursday concert, Miss Phar
ris expressed the warmest
praise for the pianist and said
"she is one of the best I have
ever had."
First of the after-intermission
groups was by Handel,
the last by Brahms, Peter Cor
nelius and Lizst. The Lizst
numbers were "In Liebsluat"
and "Es muss eln Wunder
bares sein". The Cornelius
number was "Eln Ton." The
four Brahms selections were
"Von Waldbekrantzer Hohe,"
"Es traumte mlr," "Unbc
wegte Laue Luft",and "Ach
wende diesen Bllck." Brahms
is a favorite of Miss Pharris,
and she sings these works es
pecially well.
Added to her considerable
talent, Miss Pharris has a
gracious stage personality.

Similar Benefits
Must Be Accorded
U.S. Workers
Washington - (UPD --The
Senate has voted a one-year
extension of the Mexican"
farm labor program, but only
after approving an amend
ment saying U. S. farm work
ers doing similar work must
be given the same benefits ac
corded the Mexican workers.
Under the amendment, U.
S. domestic workers must be
offered workmen's compensa
tion, housing, and transpor
tation that is comparable to
that given to Mexican farm
ers. Now Goes to House
The Senate vote Thursday
was 63-24. The bill now goes
to the House, which voted
down a two - year extension
of the farm labor program.
Opponents of the measure
contended that it aggravated
the unemployment situation
in this country.
Mexican farm workers are
used across the United States,
but they are concentrated on
large farms in California,
Arizona and Texas.
The equal benefits amend
ment drew sharp criticism
from Sen. J. W. Fulbright (D
Ark.). He termed it a "mean
ingless gesture" to American
workers, but one that had "ef
fectively destroyed" the bra
ccro program.
Goldwatar's Comment
Sen. Barry Goldwater (R
Ariz.) said many of the Ihw
makers voting for the
amendment, offered by Sen.
Eugene McCarthy (D-Minn.),
did "not know what they're
talking about."
Sen. Thomas H. Kuchcl (R
Calif.) complained that a few
absentee senators could have
beaten the proposal if they
had been voting.

Moon Test Held
In Eastern Oregon
Bend - flipn - Preliminary
tests which may be the key
to survival for the first Amer
ican landing on the moon
were performed Wednesday
in Derrick Cave, a long lava
cavern In the rugged Devil's
Garden country northeast of
Fort Rock.
Witnessing the tests were
North American Aviation Inc.
personnel, a representative of
the Oregon Department of
Planning and Development,
lunar geologist Dr. Jack
Green, and a representative
of Pacific Northwest Bell, the
firm which provided planes
for the test.
Several tons of railroad
steel were taken into the cave
for the density test, and at
tempts were made to locate
the bundled steel through use
of gravity instruments.
A plane will be used later
in a test of airborne instru
ments. Dr. Green said various
types of rock will be collected
in Central Oregon to deter
mine water content that will
serve as a standard for pre
lunar landing studies.
