Royster spoke on the "Right to be Irresponsible." He said the press is being attacked today with the "main stick" of irre sponsibility. Royster added that the press is never immune from attack. HE CITED the attack on indi vidual freedom and one's ability to separate truth from error He said that society is so complex that the regions of freedom can no longer be separated. In order to prevent irrespon sibility, it would be necessary to have a "trustee" who would know what is responsible and what is irresponsible. Royster pointed out the impossibility of this. ROYSTER SAID that one can not give man the right of freedom f 'Most Eligible' Six men students who were pre sented as the "Most Eligible Bachelors" at the Kosmet Klub Spring Musical Thursday night Tuesday, May 4, 1954 Courtesy Sunday Journal and Star ton and Denim dance, admires tne Deara 01 cap uierKs, Whisker King, sound and high in leadership." He said he is proud to have had a part in the ROTC program, which he believes "is one of the most valuable programs conducted by the U. S. Goverijment. The value of ROTC training was proven in World War II. Without the nearly 100,000 reserve officers available, we just couldn't (have created the tremendous acmed force that we did," Workman said. During World War II, he served in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations, where he commanded the 423rd Artillery Group of the Fifth Army, In the post-war period he served in information and ed ucation fields overseas and in a military government post in Italy. He participated in six campaigns during the war. DURING THESE campaigns he was twice decorated by the Ital ian government, being awarded the Cross of Military Valor and Commander Crown of Italy, and was decorated by the British, who made him an Honorary Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. The U. S. government awarded him the Legion of Merit, American Defense Medal and European, African and Middle Eastern Theater of Operations Medals with six battle stars. Col. Workman plans to spend his retirement in Atlanta, Ga., his former home. re Individual Conscience Royster of speech and then say that one cannot be irresponsible. He clarified his statement by saying this doesn't imply it is a duty to be irresponsible. The responsibility must lie within one's own conscience, Royster believes. Libel is a check on responsi bility, wherein the press is made answeraiDle for its action, -Royster asserted. The readers also are a restraint upon irresponsi bility, he said. It is an error to underestimate that restraint. Roy ster added. Royster said impatience is caused by the seemingly long time it takes for people and events to catch up with each other. Those who accuse the press of being irresponsible want to shorten the process by forc ing a responsible press. He quoted Voltaire saying that error will -never erase truth.- When someone is irresponsible, Royster said, it is fitting to re member his rights and to make him answerable to the conse quences. are (from 1. to r.)

It will be needed soon if Rathbone is to accept Eugene Ormandy's invitation to take the role in the Philadelphia Sym phony Orchestra's presentation of the cantata.
