A quick glance at our University campus life
would indicate an extreme lack of traditional

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

years about the lack of tradition on our cam

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

The Mortar Board Society had no recourse but
to cancel the ball And it seems that Military

He did not want to become
president and was not cut out for

during one of the nation's most
critical periods and he has had to
meet some of the gravest respon
sibilities in history. j
He attained national import
ance as head of the Truman com
mittee, a senate group to investi
gate national defenses. Primarily
because of this national recogni
tion, he was chosen when a com-!
promise candidate was needed in
the 1944 Democratic convention.
Compromise made him vice ;
president and chance made him :
president ia 1945 when Frank

In the first year of his presi

decision of whether or not the
Atomic bomb should be used to
speed the end of World War II.
Six months before he had never
heard of such a weapon.
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.
In 1847 he initiated the Truman
Doctrine, forerunner of the Mar
shall Plan. Aid to Turkey and
Greece through this program
stopped a rising surge of Commu
nism there.
