X recall one of the most enthusiastic endeavors of my
senior year was a campus-wide drive to raise money for the
Hungarian refugees. This was during the Hungarian revolu

year. The school owes
these seniors to give full cover-
age to these activities.

closer look.
Thresher editor Hugh Rice
Kelley was charged with delib-
erately leaving the name of the
newspaper's faculty adviser off
the masthead. He compounded
this crime by not speaking with
the dean of students over the
phone because he was sick in
bed.
In reality this faculty adviser's
name had apepared in 14 of the
last 21 issues but not in the last
4 issues. A letter apologizing to
the irate dean for not answering
dent's authority is necessary to
impose the probation.
The real reason for Kelley's
probation can be found in past
issues of the Thresher. Barbs
against the University's jolicy on
guest speakers and the regula-
tions on coed dress stung the
wrong people. The editor had to
be removed quietly to avoid
bad publicity but nonetheless
removed.
The case of the Daily Texan
involves no action against its
editors but likely to bring ser-
ious outcries though it is just as
effective.
Members of the publications
board gave the expense of dis-
tributing free newspapers as their
reason for curtailing circulation.
A more likely reason is the con-
stant embarrassment the Uni-
versity receives at the hands of
this contriversial newspaper
especially when it is delivered
free to members of the Texas
Legislature.
If these men who make it their
sacred duty to censor the college
press chose their courses of ac-
tion because' they feared adverse
publicity their sense of direc-
tion is worse than their attitude.
There is only one way to en-
sure a responsible college press.
