America's Press Exemplifies
Waning Democratic Principle
Comparatively speaking, this is a country where freedom of the
press still exists in most of its glory. After reading accounts of news
censorship ami press control on the other side of the Atlantic, It can
be realized that this is yet a free country in which one can criticize
the powers that be without fear of dire consequence.
In Germany and Italy particularly, the ordinary person reads in
his newspapers and magazines only what Hitler or Mussolini want him
to read. The press is under such rigid and strict control that it pub-
:
This campus will undoubtedly be lishes only news doled out by the government propagandists or that
well represented in Europe this
summer. There are, however, a
large part of the student body
who have neither the time nor the
money to make such a trip possi
ble. Just what is the average stu
dent going to do this summer?
Ray Hershner, arts and sciences,
junior:
"I'm going to R. O. T. C. camp
at Fort Crook in Omaha for six
weeks. After that, my brother and
I plan to go to Florida for lour
weeks. Then, two weeks at Na
tional Guard camp at Fort Ri
ley, Kas.
Katherine Kilbuck, teachers col
lege junior:
"I am going to Oregon to work
In an Apple Grower's Association
office. I'll be there all summer,
save for a few days at the seashore
and a trip to the mountains."
Ralph Robertson, bizad junior:
"I'm pretty sure that I'm going
to work for the state department
of roads and irrigation. The work
will consist of either highway in
spection or surveying. Outside of
a little jaunt to Los Angeles, I'll
fpend the whole summer at it."
Evelyn Adams, bizad Junior:
.."I imagine I'll just stay at
home.
Walter Spuhler, engineering col
lege junior:
"I'm still looking for a job.
Whatever I sret, that's what I'll
do."
Fred Sukup, teacher's college soph
omore:
"I have a chance either to work
here or go to the coast to visit
my grandfather. I'll probably go to
California."
Oick Kurtz, teacher's college jun
ior: "I'm going back to Trenton,
Mo., and work as a life guard in
the municipal pool."
Clarissa Wicks, teacher's college
junior:
"I have no definite plans as yet.
but I imagine that I'll go home."
Burdette Hilligan, arts and sci
ences freshman:
"I think that I'll just relax at
home and prepare for a hard year
in law college."
Erie Constable, Bizad sophomore:
"I'm going to be a cow-hand to
a soda fountain, and, of course,
play a little."
Sam Swenson, Arts and Sciences
junior:
"I'm going to Yellowstone. I'm
going to work as a "pack rat" and
a "duck shooter." In the jargon of
the park, a "pack rat" is a porter,
and a "duck shooter" is well,
since at Yellowstone there is no
indoor plumbing, there are certain
menial tasks which pertain to the
fact that the frontiers of civiliza
ton have not as yet advanced to
the Park. Collectively, these tasks
are known as "duck shooting."
and one who performs them bears
the title of "duck shooter."
Besides the work, I'm going to
do a lot of trout fishing, horseback;
riding, go on a lot of "paisley par
ties" (a paisley is a blanket) and
dance."
Norman Lewis, Arts and Sciences
Junior:
"As far as I know now, I'll go to
the Moody Bible Instittue in Chi
cago for a month. The rest of the
summer wlil be spent in either
Minnesota or Canada."
Fred Celger, Electrical Engineer
ing junior:
"I hope to have the position of
Student Engineer on the Columbus
to Valley power transmission
line."
Roy Broy hill, Bizad freshman:
"I'm going to work In a bank
In Kansas, unless something better
turns up."

which passes the board of censors.
It is a regrettable situation. Readers in these dictatorship-controlled
countries do not receive a complete, impartial and exact ac
count of conditions whether they be political, economic or social. They
are permitted to know only what they're supposed to know. The pre
vailing rule is the undemocratic principle that the state has the abso
lute right to supervise the formation of public opinion.
And too, adverse criticism directed at the government is out of the
question. There is almost no freedom of expression and consequently
little freedom of thought. Newspapers have degenerated to mere dis
tributors of propaganda, which is disseminated in order that the be
liefs and ideas of the common majority will conform with those of the
dominant minority.
In the United Stales, it has been said there is no freedom of the
press. This is true in the sense that papers can't publish anything they
please, but certainly untrue when the place of the American press is
compared with the subdued representatives in Germany, Italy, Russia
and even England.
The American newspaper today does not fear any censorship or
regimentation. It recently showed some concern, however, when con
ditions created by New Deal methods could have led to an infringe
ment on freedom of the press. Several court cases over the country
put the newspapers on the defensive, altho in nearly every instance
the court decision upheld the papers in their campaign to preserve
the old constitutional freedom.
Publishers realize or should realize that their freedom does not
belong to them as beneficial owners. It is a right and privilege which
the designers of the constitution meant distinctly the public should
have. Publishers lament the fact that people are unaware that the
freedom is solely theirs and that the struggle to protect it is ignored
by them.
American newspapers, aware of the unhealthful condition of the
foreign press, are now organizing to direct an offensive campaign
against any form of censorship or newspaper control
This country has no government censorship as exists in so many
of the other nations. What complaints American newspaper organi
zations did direct against the government were without much foun
dation, being directed only in an endeavor to prevent the application
of such administrative policies the publishers wished to avoid. Ex
amples of such would be collective bargaining privileges, provisions
of the NRA, and curtailment of labor. It has been pointed out there
is by far more censorship of the administration by the press than by
the administration of the press.
Yet another form of control which can be exercised over the press
is that of advertisers. As a general rule there is little. It must be re
membered, of course, that the newspaper today is primarily a business
enterprise and its existence must prove financially profitable. Taking
this fact into consideration then, there is undoubtedly a minor form of
censorship or control by advertisers, altho probably not as much as is
commonly supposed.
In order that they continue to retain their proper place in the
American system, newspapers will have to use sound editorial dis
cretion in the handling of propaganda. Propaganda is flowing in
increasing proportions from government, capital and labor sources.
Inasmuch as the publishers cannot ignore this propagandized news,
they realize their future efforts need be directed at publishing all the
facts in an honest, impartial and courageous manner.
It is the belief of students and observers of our system that the
free press is here to stay, tnai u win continue lo i.Uw ...t'--'h awkwardlv placed the crown

need have no great fears from that direction. In order to preserve its
present integrity, newspapers must convince the public that they exist
thru use of a privilege necessary to the public's welfare.
DENUNCIATION of Fuehrer
Adolf Hitler as an "Austrian
paperhanger" by Cardinal Mun
delein of Chicago brought offi
cial German representations to
the state department against the
disparaging remarks. Dr. Hans
Dieckhoff, new German ambas
sador, made the diplomatic
move aaainst the cardinal's
speech criticizing German trials
of Catholic clergy on charges of
immorality. Sources close to the
cardinal revealed that his attack
was based on personal knowl
edge of mistreatment of Ger
man Catholics and not on orders
from the Vatican. Prominent
eastern church officials have
backed the cardinal in his speech
against nazi persecution of re
ligious sects, many of whom
supported Mayor LaGuardia of
New York when he assailed the
nazi chieftain as a fit subject
for a chamber of horrors.
FILIBUSTERING by republic
an members of the house started
Tuesday as administration leaders
attempted to pass the 166 million
dollar interior supply bill. A re
publican representative on the
house appropriations committee
announced that six separate roll
calls would be sought as political
strategy to delay passage of the
measure and to put off until Mon
day debate on the administration's
1.5 billions work relief program.
Appropriation slashing includes
plans to cut relief expenditures
one-third and interior supply
funds one-tenth.

Local Bookstore and Family
Library Will Reveal
Wealth of Loot.
By Bernlce Kauffman.
The dandelions are in bloom, the
birds are singing, exams are com
ing, and It is almost vacation
time, When the fish refuse to bite,
when your tennis game gets stale,
when swimming is becoming
monotonous, when the orchestra
sounds tinny then, is the time to
recall Fitzgerald's loaf of bread
jug of wine book of verse phil
osophy. Visit the local library, .or the
local bookstore, or perhaps the
family library may contain some
unknown loot. Forget the best
sellers with their garish jackets
and their tabloid blurbs. Strangle
that feeline- that you ought to
read "Gone With the Wind." Mr.
Pulitzer's committee has done its
duty by it your conscience
should be clear. Instead read
some of the older things.
"Nicens Little Ulysses."
James Joyce begins his "A Por
trait of the Artist as a Young
Man:" "Once upon a time and a
very good time it was there was a
moocow coming along the road and
this moocow that was down along
the road met a nicens little boy
named baby tuckoo . . ." and that's
a very nice way for you to begin
your summer reading.
The "nicens little boy" grows
up to be Stephen Dedalus, and if
you follow him up in "Ulysses," as
you will, because Joyce is conta
gious, you will read the biography
of a young man who loses his
nicensness. And when you have
read these, you will make another
trip to the library to read the
"Confessions" of Thomas Acqui
nas, a thing you would never think
of doing otherwise.
20th Century Humor.
After Thomas Acquinas, "The
New Yorker Book of Verse" will
restore vour 20th century sense of
humor and put you in nn excellent
mood for Auldous Huxley's "Brave
New World." Huxley's keen satire
on materialism in general, and on
mechanization in particular will
increase your appreciation for
Henry Adams' fine autobiography,
"The Education of Henry Adams."
There you will find an account of
a life time, spent in the latter half
of the 19th century, that was day
by day shadowed by today's di
lemma, which is the result of over
emphasis of materialism. No doubt
this autobiography, written by a
member of one of America's most
Illustrious New England families
will add to George Santayana's
New England portrayal, "The Last
Puritan."
If you have read Bernard Shaw,
hut only if you have, for otherwise
the charming satire will be lost,
read Gladvs Morris's "Tales from
Bernard Shaw." These tales are
Shaw's plays retold in the manner
of fairy stories, in which the
characters are transformed into
animals. These are not retold,
however, In the manner of Lamb's
"Tales from Shakespeare," and are
not on a child's reading list.
Maurois, Beerbohm.
Two other excellent books, on
the light side, are Max Beer
bohm's "Zuleika Dobson," a bur
lesque, and Andre Maurois's "A
Voyage to the Island of Arti
coles," a satire. The entire stu
dent body of Oxford college com
mit suicide for the love of the
fair Zuleika, and that is some
thing more than being Trom
girl. Maurois's satire has to do
with a mythical island whose in
habitants are all artists or ad
mirers of art. The admirers do
the work and the artists do the j
