Next, these women presented their petition

Three West Coast theaters have decided to
substitute another film in place of their scheduled
showing of Charlie Chaplin's "Limelight." This
occurred, according to Time, after the theaters
were visited by representatives of the Holly
wood Legion post.
It would seem that the Legion's Un-American
committees are not only interested in what books
the American citizen is allowed to read, but also
in what entertainment he may choose to see.
Some may welcome such action. After all,
sometimes it is a little easier to let others think

The Legion move apparently stems from the
still incomplete investigation of Chaplin by the
Department of Justice.
But, even with this so-called reason, are not at

jurisprudence violated?

Students are probably the biggest gripers in

changed much in 20 years.
The following complaints are quoted from
The Nebraskan in 1933 and were tabulated from
themes written In an English cjass:

These complaints have survived the depression,
war and inflation and are still regularly heard
today. However, one of the gripes is hardly ap
