Beginning with an address by E. Palmer ("Ep") Hoyt, publisher of the Denver Post, and a speech by Arthur Hayes Sulzberger, publisher of the New York Times, the newsmen all day Thursday tossed one bouquet after an other at each other's political performance during the last few months. Both publishers stuck up for what President Truman and Gov. Stevenson chose to call the "one party press." Sulzberger accepted the figures of Editor and Publisher which showed that 67 per cvents or at least a lack of interest in such by the c oi we uaiiy papers supported r.isennower students Members of the University family have THE DAILY NEBRASKAN LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS By Bibler to pat their backs are due for more than a twisted arm.

NU Tradition A quick glance at our University campus life would indicate an extreme lack of traditional while 14 per cent favored the governor. But, he declared, in effect, you can't go down the line as signing one paper to support the Republicans and the next the Democrats. After stating this ob vious difficulty, he attempted to prove that the press does not control, and is not controlled by, big business as Truman has intimated. Hoyt, too, agreed with the Eisenhower-heavy figures, but he dismissed the matter by declaring, minus the frills, that after all editorial pages and editorial stands really influence nobody so it doesnt make any difference. Both stressed the importance of complete ob jectivity in news columns and seemed to assume that it existed in most American newspapers dur ing the campaign. With this lauding of the press as introduction been harping publicly and privately, for many years about the lack of tradition on our cam pus. However, this past week something happened which has proved that students do hold their traditions in reverence and do act to retain what tradition we do have. The Mortar Board's forced cancellation of their annual Ball the turn-about affair after the Military Ball, caused students particularly men students, to voice many objections to the tem porary halt called to one of their traditions.

"The Bomb That Fell On Ameri ca" has timely significance for all of us.

Threats of paralyzing strikes the next year caused him to seize the railroads and later to order an anti-strike injunction suit against John L. lewis.

The peo ple with the great humani tarian dream, the friend of the underdog, the protester against persecutions and atrocities, the supporter of the Hague and Geneva con ventions, the father of the Kellogg Pact, the lover of peace. The people who set a pattern for the world in free government. The people who for a century provided a refuge for the persecuted and starving of Europe. The people who fought a four years' war to free black men from bondage. , The people who fought an other war to save the Cu bans from the horrors of the Spanish concentration camps. The people who took Cuba, cleaned It up and gave it back to the Cubans as an organized democracy." "The people who cry out against empire and the rule of the mighty over subject races.
