Moreover, unlike the spineless, stand-aside attitude taken by the University of Mississippi faculty during last fall's bloody Oxford riot, the University of Alabama faculty seems determined that there will be no student violence on their campus. President Frank Rose, an able educator and a moderate, months ago called in student leaders, pledged strict disciplinary action against segregationist demonstrators. Last week, with most of the main campus' 9,000 students already gone from Tuscaloosa for the summer, there seemed little inclination toward violence on the part of those who remained.

He meant Vivian Malone. But as things now stand, the one person who seems most likely to disrupt education at the University of Alabama is the Governor of the state.
