Nixon Remains In Lead
In the wake of President Johnson's decision not to seek re-election, the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the strong possibility that Vice-President Humphrey will bid for the Democratic nomination, THE
METEOR found a good opportunity for another poll of school opinion on the candidates.
Since the last sampling of opinion late in February, much has occurred on the political scene: George Romney stepped completely out of the Republi- can race; Nelson Rockefeller made it clear that he was not a candidate; Richard
Nixon swept the first two primaries unopposed; Eugene McCarthy nearly de- feated LBJ in New Hampshire, and took victory in Wisconsin; and Robert Kennedy threw his hat in the Democratic race.
Polling the junior and senior classes THE METEOR asked these two ques- tions and received these results:

deep South and the men and women Faulkner's County is a photo-
graphic essay that memoralizes what are perhaps the last remnants of the way of life Faulkner lived in and
wrote of, attempting to preserve Yok- napatawpha County that was, while the atomic age and the era of civil rights slowly drag Lafayette County into the present. In this essay there are hundreds of pictures, many set with quotations fr o m Faulkner's words, which delve into the subsur- face existence of a people who have not radically altered their way of thinking since the time of his writing.
Indeed, there is much of Faulkner's county to be found. In the courthouse are the ever-present idlers sprawled along a wooden bench talking, listen- ing, thinking, waiting for nothing to
happen. There is the county jail, lone
it fosters. r-----------------,

The white - columned
dingy stands in the background against a pale overcast sky. Before it stands the confederate statue with two men sitting at its base, listless, immobile, al- most a part of the sculpturing. In the foreground there are more peoplee-- standing, talking, walking rather aimlessly. In reality this is courthouse of Ox-
ford, Mississippi, county seat of Lafayette county and lifelong home of the Southern author, William Faulkner. In fiction it was Jefferson, center of Yok- napatawpha County, the famed center of action in most of Faulkner's greatest novels. It is against this background that Faulkner portrays the culture of the
courthouse
