CAMPUS MARTYR NO. 1492
The eNpulsion of the Columbia Speclalo) editor for
1 r• continued ci iticisins or campus conditions has stilled
I.p a tremendous and lathe, unfoi Innate bum about
the fieedoin of the undo gi actuate press. "Liberalism

Any college editor will defend the fieedom of the
collegiate pieqs, and its sight to libeiality; hut the bogey

POLITICAL MAY QUEENS
On what basis should the May Queen and her at
terdants be chosen? Should the position of May Queen
considered the seventh senior women's honor, lo
rdlier with that of bow girl, slipper gill, 01 fan gal?
Must a May Day attendant have a high scholastic aver

Von Eckhardt—Russia.
Even the most recent economic and
political developments in Russia de
mand an understanding of her earlier
history and social development. This
German work revised and brought
down to date for English aml Amer
man readers not only fills this need
but also gives a very understanding
discussion of recent Soviet political
and economic changes including the
now economic policy, the Five Year
Plan, agrarian and industrial policies.
"It (the hook) remains without excep
tion from the beginning, even in the
review of the history and the analysis
of intellectual development, true to its
purpose: to explain the meaning of
the revolution," declares one reviewer.
