Campus Comment On U.A.'s Lucy Case (By the Associated Collegiate Press) T h e A u t h e r i n e Lucy case a t the University of A l a b a m a has become a national issue, and a n u m b e r of leading college n e w s p a p e r s have carried news stories and editorial coment a b o u t it. Following are s u m m a r i e s of some of the editorial s t a t e m e n t s recently p r i n t e d : F r o m the U n i v e r s i t y of West Virginia's Daily A t h e n a e u m : " I t ' s o f t e n been said t h a t those who w r e s t l e with q u a l m s of i n f e r i o r i t y are the ones who m u s t fight to prove their s u p r e m a c y . As f a r as we're concerned, the A l a b a m a stud e n t s only d e m o n s t r a t e d t h e i r imm a t u r i t y , indecency, i n h u m a n i t y , and p e r h a p s , i n f e r i o r i t y . If the White race w e r e superior, ( a n d it is n o t ) , it would not have to fight to insure its position." The Daily C a l i f o r n i a n had t h i s to s a y : "One b r i g h t l i g h t in t h e Alab a m a s i t u a t i o n a p p e a r s to be University P r e s i d e n t 0 . C.

F r o m the Iowa S t a t e Daily. "One f a v o r a b l e note was detected when only about five p r e c e n t of t h e one thousand d e m o n s t r a t o r s involved were s t u d e n t s . This comes on the heels of t h e first r e p o r t , which said t h a t the riot was exploded on the Alabama campus. It w a s only n a t u r a l to a s s u m e t h a t it w a s an all-student display. It is hoped t h a t this m e a n s t h a t t h e y o u n g e r generation, f o r t h e m o s t p a r t , is using s o m e common sense on t h e racial issue. It s e e m s t h a t f o r some y e a r s yet, the Deep South will continue to have perodic o u t b u r s t s involving the racial question. We only hope that, ultimately, these generations of S o u t h e r n e r s will t h r o w off these ' r a c e b a r r i e r ' shackles, and be able to a t t e n d classes on a non-segregated basis." The T u f t s University Weekly: " T h e U n i v e r s i t y of A l a b a m a underg r a d u a t e s g a v e succeeded only in m a k i n g a n a b o m i n a b l e m e s s of t h e whole a f f a i r .
