By BILL DEVRIES
Staff Writer
The love of a beautiful maid,
The love of a staunch, true man,
The love of a baby unafraid.
Has existed since time began.
But the greatest love, the love
of loves,
Even greater than that of a
.mother,
Is the tender, infinite, passionate
love
Of one drunken bum for an
other. STORK: A bird that gets
charged with a lot f things
which should be blamed on a lark.
Then there was the girl who
used to be the campus belle, but
somebody tolled on her.
The weather man says fair
and warmer with . eontlrued
gutter slop.
I eat my peas with honey, .
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on the knife.
A baby rabbit had been annoy
ing its mother all day. Finally the
exasperated parent replied, "You
were pulled out of a magician's

Clayton Hits
U.S. News
Suppression
By DEL HARDING
Staff Writer
There is a growing tendency id"
surpress news in America. So
said Charles Clayton, editorial
writer for the St Louis Globe-
Democrat at a Love Library con
vocation Wednesday afternoon.
News sources practice this sur
pression more than newspapers
themselves, he said. ,
Police officials, school boards.
and state legislatures are continu
ing the "surpression trend" which
originated in Washington, Clay
ton said. Declaring "it can hap
pen here," he pointed to cases of
attempted news surpression in
San Francisco, Atlanta, and Lake
Charles, Louisiana.
Newsmen who accept ' nana
out news" as gospel also drew the
criticism of Clayton, who de
clared they should investigate the
validity of the news releases.
"The rjublic has a right to know
Tthe" score frgm the precinct level
up to vWshingtMeue
"The American people can thinL
straight when given the facts. The -news
reed not be "sugar-coated
the public can take the good' with
the bad," Clayton added.
Contending "the right to know
is basic in a democracy," he criti
cized some newspapers for not
living up to their responsibility
to "confine their opinion to the
editorial page." But as a whole,
he believes the American press is
"alert in attempting to avoid sur
pression." The primary function of a news
paper is to print the news ac
curately!" he said. Other func
tions of nearly equal importance
are to "comment fairly on issues
of the day, but to "kepp sepa
of the day," but to "keep sepa
accounts. Clayton spoke at the first of
a monthly series of journalism-
school sponsored convocations.
