| Summary: | Ole Miss [Mississippi] State College / Registration / James Meredith (Negro) attempted entrance / See Dean negatives 62-7035 / 62-7149 / 62-7098 / First series, showing registration desk / Ole Miss freshmen pre-register quietly / Actual registration of "new students," including freshmen and transfers to begin Thursday / Beanie topped freshmen gather around student building / Anticipated attempted entrance of Negro James Meredith number one campus topic. / Then series of youth with beanie reading bulletin / Ole Miss freshman scans "Liberty Bulletin" / Pamphlet distributed Tuesday calls on students to "place yourself under the direction of Governor Barnett." / Chancellor with a problem / Ole Miss chancellor J. D. Williams had "no comment" for newsmen / Final picture: may not print taken late in afternoon, no flash. / State officers gather at Ole Miss / Plainclothes state investigators examine tank. / This particular picture... couldn't be taken over. Had I brought flash into play would have created friction, didn't feel picture was worth it. Furthermore, tank will not be used in preventing Meredith's registration, so is somewhat misleading in first place. / [Notes included]
