Collegiate Press Recent troubles of student newspapers at Brooklyn college and Michigan State college illustrate how dangerous - it is becoming in many places to speak one's own mind. BOTH PAPERS were ordered suspended, but the Michigan State News again is operating un der somewhat questionable circumstances. Viewed in the context of the battle now being waged to preserve a freedom system that in cludes freedom of the press, both cases would be ridiculous were they not so symptomatic of a dangerous trend in American thinking. The Michigan State News was suspended for criticizing editorially the Wolirerine Boys' State. an American Legion-sponsored "citi zenship institute." The News decried what it thought were militaristic methods at the in stitute and objected to-a mock trial of a Com munist which it said made a farce of American justice. Durinn - b the summer, when the paper was sus pended,the college announced that publication would be resumed only under strict supervision. An editorial in the first fall issue admitted that a faculty advisor had been appointed for the paper, but insisted that he would not be a cen sor. (This may be true, but it's just what a censored paper would be expected to say about its censor.) THE VANGUARD of Brooklyn college was suspended after it violated a recent publica tions committee ruling requiring it to print an editorial expressing the opposite view every time it took an editorial stand. (We'd like to see the Vanguard print an editorial favoring cancer to countract its own editorial support ing the cancer fund drive.) But the underlying reason for revoking the Vanguard's charter was its support of the right of "communist" organizations to meet on campus and the editor's statement to the New York press that the college administra tion was attempting to gain control of the newspaper. It would seem that both colleges were inter ested not so much in freedom as they were interested in having only their own views ex pressed and contrary views suppressed. We should be thankful that at Penn State it still is possible to have a free newspaper in which varying views can be expressed, and we should hope that everyone students, faculty and ad ministration will strive to maintain the heal thy situation we have here.

That Draft Again The final form of a new policy on draft de ferments for college students, soon to be re leased, is causing plenty of anxious moments among present . and prospective students. THE NEW PROCEDURES are supposed to follow recommendations by six scientific ad visory committees, which recently submitted a report to Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, draft director. Benjamin Fine, education writer for the New York Times, expressed the opinion last Sunday that the new policy would rule out extremes. There will - be no blanket defer ments for all college students, but there also will not be a "no deferment" policy, Fine wrote. Individual deferment, Fine said, will likely be determined by the student's' ability. The report to General Hershey contained a proposal where by students, to be deferred, would have to be high up in their high school graduating classes and be able to maintain that position in college. MOST INTERESTING part of the proposal, we thoug4.t, was the suggestion that sophomores would have to be in the upper half of their class; juniors in the upper two-thirds and seniors in the upper three-quarters. This plan would not only provide an intelli gent basis for deferments btit might also bring on a wave of increased studying by students with one nervous eye on the draft board. Safety Valve ...
