this year after incurring
much wrath for his disas

Sandoe spent last summer
touring Europe paying his

other comic strips.

On deeper examination the
Cult of Sex turns into a

When one reaches the up

forcing those who care, to
join the more sophisticated

There was a time when

were not present.
But, that time is passed.
The future is tomorrow.

'Gag' Rule
Is Disputed
Editor's Note: On July 8
the Ohio State University
Board of Trustees, by a 5-3
vote, elected to retain the
"speakers gag rule" which
prevents Communists and
others defined as subver
sive from speaking on the
OSU campus.
The following editorial, ob
jecting to the decision, ap
peared in an Ohio news
paper, The Plain Dealer.
We present it for our read
ers' information and inter
est. In voting to retain their
infamous gag rule, the ma
jority of the board of trus
tees of Ohio State Univer
sity has flouted public opin
ion, defied the faculty and
the students and ignored
the university's president.
The five members who
voted to keep the 15-ycar-old
rule can be held re
sponsible for the continua
tion of the poor name OSU
has in the academic com
munity of the nation.
They can also be held re
sponsible for the expected
resignations of a number of
respected faculty members
who threatened to quit if the
rule went unchanged.
And any student demon
strations protesting the deci
sion can be charged also to
" the bullheaded backward
ness of the five who disre
garded the recommenda
tions of the professional ed
ucators they hired.
President Novice G. Faw
cett, following the recom
mendations of a faculty
committee, urged the trus
tees to eliminate his power
to veto speakers he felt
were subversive.
Since 1951 an OSU presi
dent has been empowered to
bar from the campus any
guest speaker he judged to
be subversive, allied to sub
versive purposes or whose
views he felt to be just not
in the best interests of the
school. In the '50's Ohio
State w as one of only eight
universities in America us
ing a gag rule.
Fawcett wisely advised
the trustees that "so long
as federal and state govern
ments permit people who
are classed as subversives
... to move about this
country freely, it seems to
me that we set ourselves
up as being over and above
the law when we restrict
... the liberty of these per
sons." In a disjointed piece of
logic, former U.S. Sen. John
W. Bricker charged that
changing the gag rule would
somehow be a repudiation
of U.S. policy in Viet Nam.
Cuba and other Communist
areas. What does the sena
tor think this nation is fight
ing for if not freedom in
cluding freedom of speech?
According to Fawcett,
75'i? of the students favor
ed changing the rule. But
the five trustees who voted
against the change apparent
ly believe most of Ohio
State's students are not cap
able of making responsible
judgments. And apparently
these five trustees feel the
faculty judgment is also
wrong.
One of the five, Carlton
S. Dargusch of Columbus,
is a disbarred attorney pre
sently appealing his disbar
ment. His participation in
the proceedings at all was
in questionable taste, con
sidering his circumstances.
The others who unfortu
nately voted with Bricker
and Dargusch were John C.
Ketterer of Canton. Mervin
B. France of Cleveland and
Frederick E. Jones of Columbus.

'WAS THIS TRIP NECESSARY?
Spoof
I must confess. I had a
blind date last weekend.
That weekly temptation for
non-movers, clamped me in
its frustration-filled trap
once more.
The evening started typ
ically. My date, Maybella
Furd, promised to look dis
tinctive by wearing Madras
so I could recognize her. I
introduced myself to three
Madras-clad honeys before
Maybella came down. But I
mustered the enthusiasm to
try once more, "i'm keith
krueger?" 1 pleaded. Noth
is worse than being stood
up on a blind date.
I opened with my best
line ("What's your ma
jor?"), followed 'by "My
third cousin also studied
Pie-Cambrian geology," and
then my spirit was gone.
Maybe she just sat too
far across the seat to hear
what I said, but after 7:40,
the evening was just one
long awkward silence. May
bella and I had established
a new University and Big
Eight record.
Perhaps I'm just a voice
crying in the wilderness,
but I'm determined to break
my losing streak. May
be my blind date for this
weekend will be better.

But, Why Mot fly
The cheapest way to trav
el is hitch-hiking, and in
this age of the airplane,
with the great proliferation
of private aircraft, sooner
or later someone had to
come up with a plan for
updating the "thumb rou
tine." I was riding to Kansas
City last Easter vacation
with a salesman who
picked me up just outside of
Omaha. He put the bug in
my ear.
"Listen," he said, "I trav
el a lot and do a lot of flying
for the company. If some
one came up to me, and he
was well dressed and looked
OK, and asked if he could
ride along, I wouldn't mind.
In fact it gets lonely up
there and I'd be happy to
have him along. So when
you want to go somewhere
why don't you go out to the
airport and ask around?"
I said I'd try it.
This summer I traveled to
San Antonio. Hitching by
car I made it in two days,
and spent two weeks with
Peter O'Connell, freshman.
When I was ready to
leave, I remembered the ad
vice of the salesman, and
went out to the S. A. Air
port. Asking around I found
a ride with two men who ,
were going to Cincinnatti. i
They were flying a Lock- i

landed at Midway and I
spent five hours looking for
a ride, any ride, going east.
Finally one of the employees
offered me a ride over to
O'Hare Field.
I walked up to a man who
looked as if he had just
landed, I said, "Do you
know anyone who is going
east?"
"Do you work here," he
asked.
"No. I'm a student at the
University of Nebraska."
"We'll, just a minute and
I'll see."
He made a phone call,
came back and said it was
all right.
He turned out to be Frank
Sinatra's pilot, and was tak

to New York.
The trip from San Antonio
