Towneend Somhp '37 filitnithing Editor This issue Wow.liLor This Tuesday, March 31, 1936 THE COLLEGE PRESS Recently there has been throughout the country widespread discussion of the collegiate press and es pecially.of the freedom of that body. On several cam puses student editors have been deposed by the college authorities when they have flatly refused to go along with the college's wishes. in practically every case when this has - happened there has resulted a row Which quick ly:spread to the metropolitan press. This has probably 14en most evident in the case of Reed Harris at Colum- hia University several years ago and the case of his successor who was also relieved of his duties The easy access to the metropolitan papers there made the reports of the battle between the college au thorities and the student newsmen most interesting The control of the college press has long been dis cussed in college groups. It is interesting to note that 'the method by which this control is attained in different colleges varies widely. With few exceptions the methods for controlling the campus newspaper by the college administration may be classified in three categories. They are 1. The newspapers which are controlled through the college authorities outright by means of faculty censors who read all the matter beforehand closely. Nothing ever gets into these papers of the slightest controversial nature. These papers are usually found in the state teachers' colleges and in small denominational. institu- 2: The papers which are controlled through what might be called "lobbying." This "lobbying" is car ried on by the offiCials of the college by having editors in to discuss minor problems with them, sometimes over a supper table. In this method the college officials at tempt to show the student publicatiOn,editors that "for the good of - the - college" nothing too controversial should be published. It 'almost essential in this kind of Set- MVtitat the college officialS be more or less remote from the general student body so that the student . will feel that he is being highly honored and is , really helping,to solve the institution's problems. 3. The•third type of college newspaper is entirely free of anc sort of pressure from the college adminis- tration and carries on a bitter and insulting campaign against every move the administration may make. A good example of this type of paper is the City College of New York Campus which for days carried on a cam paign "to find our president, dear . Dr. Robinson." It carried headlines reading, "Where Is Our College Pres-- ident? Nobody Knows; Not Even His Wife." It plainly hinted then bat he was at the ranch of William Ran dolph Hearst in California but, could not be gotten in contact with. Of the three types the second is undoubtedly the best. It provides for some sort of harmony between the students and the administration which the third- does not and reduces greatly the chances of someone ''sneak ing7, something controversial past a censor. AMERICAN YOUTH ACT This American Youth Act was drawn up and is be ing sponsored by the American Youth Congress which is composed of 800 organizations representing 1,500,000 American youths. If you as a college student are secure ly entrenched financially and care nothing for your fel lows, both in college and out, who are not so fortun ately placed, thiS bill means nothing to you—ignore it. If you are one of the 073 students here who are de pending on monthly N. Y. A. checks to remain in college, or if you are one of the hundreds of students from whom greatly needed N. Y. A. was withheld because of the limitation of N. Y. A. appropriation, or if you have just enough of the milk of human kindness in your heart to wish to see your less fortunate comrades given a chance, this is your ,bill—back it. The success of last year's F. E. R. A., and this year's N. Y. A. programs—in spite of technical diffi culties—is evident. However, like the F. E. R. A. the present N. Y. A. is of the extraordinary type known as relief measures and as such is merely temporary. The American Youth Act, if enacted, will set up a perman ent system of national aid to American youth who face nothing but 'disappointment, dissolution, and eventual bread-lines during the present economic crisis. lines the present economic crisis. Under the present temporary N. T. A. set-up the hverage amount which students may earn is set at $l5 pet^ month; under the Youth• Act $25 per month is the minimum requirement. The bill provides for administra tion of the Act by the workers themselves. The Act discriminates against nobody because of nativity, sex, race, color, religious or political opinion or affiliation.

(gperint to the Collegionfroin IThoth No. 17) Brooklyn Dodgers Lynn Christy, well-known bandleader, had a gal from Brooklyn up to Soph Hop a couple weeks ago, having met her on the boat going to Europe last sum mer. While she was here,. they happened to be out in the Pi Kappa Phi house, and Christy, realizing that it was a big dance week-end, thought that the gal ex- . pected him at least to put his arm around her. But the gal evidently had other ideas, for she drew herself up haughtily and said, in a rather loud voice: "Mr. Christy, no man ever got to first base with me." Christy thought no more of the matter, and the girl went back to Brooklyn. Then last week he got to mulling it all over, and decided that it called for some action. So he got Jim Dugan to draw a picture of the little man holding her in his arms and running like hell from home to first base. He captioned it "Christy Gets to First Base with a Brooklyn Dodger" and sent it to her. He hasn't' heard from the gal since. Johnson Brennrmnn '37 _..W.
