Student Riot in Protest
To Action; Put Gag
On Statue.
Columbia students Wednesday
were rioting In protest to Har
ris' dismissal. An attempt was
made to put a gag on the Alma
Mater statue In front of the uni
versity library as a symbol of
the alleged "gag rule."
Reed Harris, editor of The
Columbit Spectator and stormy
petrel of college Journalism, who
has successively attacked football
as a big Industry, compulsory R. O.
t r nnH th Columbia Univer
sity officials, has just been dis
missed from Columbia by Dean
Hawkes with the consent of
President Nicholas Murray Butler,
known throughout the world for
his liberal policies,
harge Exploitation of Students.
The Immediate cause of dis
missal was a charge made by
Harris that the management of the
university dinning service was ex
ploiting student waiters. Accord
ing to the Spectator, the waiters
were hired to work from 5:50 to
7:50 p. m. daily except Sunday and
"receive in return meal tickets
with value of $1.50 a day. Deduc
tions from meal tickets are made
when the waiters do not work the
full two hours.
As the doors to the dining room
close at 7:15 p. m., it is only when
he has late customers that a waiter
is enabled to serve tne two rours
necessary for him' to keep intact
his meal ticket."
Objections were also made by
the waiters to the Spectator that
there was a general feeling of ani
mosity among the waiters toward
the assistant manager of the din
ing room, Mrs. Elizabeth Gardner.
Waiters also charged that "Will
S. Thompson, the head waiter, is
forgetful of promises and uses
poor judgement in the distribution
of work. He has the power of sus
pension and discharge."
List Several Complaints.
Among the other complaints
were: the waiters did not have the
choice of food they should have;
they are subjugated from the fear
of losing the jobs; that their full
working time is not checked; and
that they are compelled to eat in
cafeteria style, while the regular
dinner price is punched on their
After this attack was published
in the Spectator, Miss Mable Reed
manager of the dining hall, called
a meeting of the waiting personnel.
Asking them pointblank for any
criticism, there was none ventured,
the jobs of the students being in
her hands.
Paper Criticized President Butler.
President Butler has been em
barrassed twice this year by edito
rial attacks upon himself made by
the editor of The Spectator. The
papergave considerable space re
cently to a criticism of Dr. Butler's
sincerity in the matter of world
peace. .

age. and a member of the Phi

The editorial which caused his
dismissal follows:

ferred from her position. Yet that partic
ular member of the management remains
one of the biggest reasons for complaint
among student waiters. Conditions are
strikingly similar to those obtaining last
year, and complaints are reaching Spec
tator with Incrraslng frequency. But the
most careful search falls to reveal any
university official trying to better condi
tions. There was once a room In Hamilton hall
caled the Gemot. It served as a center for
relaxation between classes. That room,
long ago, became the Columbia Statistical
Bureau. Perhaps, If no university officer
will make a wholehearted attempt to bring
jood food at student prices Into John Jay
hall, then the Grill may become the statis
tical bureau, and the Gemot may once
more serve Its original purpose. There
would, at least, be less indigestion.

O
By GEORGE ROUND
Wahoo, Nebraska . . . Just a
lonely college boy in a strange
town. That is me. Here I am in
Wahoo working for one of the
leading weekly papers In the state
of Nebraska. Editor Pickett is
known throughout the state as one
of the most progressive newspaper
men In the weekly paper field. He
puts out a real sheet.
Nevertheless, the college man or
woman who may think they know
a lot about their supposedly cho
sen vocation but let them get out
practicing their art and they soon
find out that many of the class
room teachings are only theoret
ical. But they help.
But a most interesting thing
happened Sunday night in the
city. The county sheriff had his
automobile stolen while be was at
tending church. Laugh I thought
I would die, as Oz Black of the
State Journal would put it, for
sheriffs aren't supposed to go to
church.
. . . We wonder how Virginia
Tollard is getting along in Albion.
Good old Virginia. . . . George
Dunn has set out to make a name
for himself in Newman Grove. . . .
We wonder how Elton Lurt and
Neva England of the famous Per
kins family radio family at the
agricultural college are getting
along. . . . Kathryn Pickett. Uni
versity of Nebraska graduate,
works in her father's newspaper
office in Wahoo. She was a Delta
Gamma at Nebraska. . . . Gerald
Bardo is in the home town for two
weeks. It must be nice to be near
North Loup.
It seems as though the sheriff,
and a mighty good one too, de
cided to go to church that fine
evening. When he came out of
the building his automobile it was
gone. He looked high and low
but it couldn't be found. Even
yet it is a mystery. Robbers are
robbers regardless of whom the
victim may be. They pay no at
tention to officials' cars. The
moral of that story might be,
"Sheriff Round lock your car
back In the old home town."
Editor Pickett of the Wasp re
fers to us as the agricultural edi
tor of the paper. Just because we
ride around the country and get
out of work is no reason why he
should draw hasty conclusions.
Most anyone can do that but a
secret is a secret. He isn't sup
posed to know that riding isn't
working. Mum is the word.
Lawrence Pike, associate pro
fessor of journalism in the Univer
sity of Nebraska, just stopped in
long enough to say hello, goodbye
and buy us a coke. That is one
nice thing about these professors,
they always buy a fellow the treats
when he is away from school on
his own but in the classroom they
give you the "beats" if he isn't up
to par. Regardless, thanks a lot
Professor Pike!
It was only a longing for the
good old countryside that sent me
to the wide open spaces today,
Monday. There once again to see
the husky farmers getting their
spring work done was music to
my nostrils. To hear the birds
sing softly in the tree tops gave
me another thrill. I'll take the
countryside most any day. How
ever, I still keep my hat on so
people may recognize me when
other farm animals are close by.
Evidently these journalism stu
dents ran into business when they
visited the weekly and daily paper
offices over the state on Monday
of this week. For instanc Don
Carlson covered Governor Bryan's
speech in Norfolk, Himes visited
with Billy Sunday in Fremont
while for myself I ran into the city
election. And still Joe Miller of
the Rag claims these are "dog
days" for the newspaper reporter.
Bunk, Joe, your conclusion is all
bunk. If you don't believe it just
come out to Wahoo.
No Dick Moran there are no
sixthlets down here in Waboo. We
find it hard to find just onclcts.
