that the objection to this past vacation was thai
it came too lair in the semesier. On ihe other
hand, it is a good idea to sample opinion on the
question, and it may attract a larger number
of voiers to I lie polls
a worthy enough reason
in itself.
I hen. on Wednesday, the legislature
agreed to
place a second question on the ballots. I his
time, the voters will le asked if they approye ol
paying ihe president a salary of SI00 a year, and
the I yy p
a salary of S"0 eac h, an
action which must lie put up to the voiers since
ii requires a constitutional change.
There an
several objections to paying student government
officeholders, the principal onr liring the resultant greener pastures for campus politicians.
Bui if the greener pastures ailrart a larger mini
her of ranclidairs, perhaps those who are forced
to work for an eduralion and could not consider
such iMtsiiions without remuneration, or mavbe
those capable students who scorn the idea of
"big shot" honor but who ran appreriaie ilu
language of partial payment for services rendered: and if. by paying ofT. the voters ran hold
their represent a lives more strictly accountable
for work done in offirr. then that question, too.

The Legislature's Choice

President Frank

L. McVey

riliiilo to long vcars of service ami loy
alty to tho I'nivcrsitv. the Student Legislature
has asked a leading economist, writerliiial
sticntist. and student of the arts 10 sjieak at
une commencement exercises.
In asking President McVcvi to make the ad
dress, the legislature has made a significant gesture in praise of his manv ears as l'niveriiv
head, of his worth as educator and thinker, and
ol his ability as a speaker.
Ii is fining that ihc President
should give
the mosi outstanding address on the campus this
year, not onlv liecause he is retiring in ulv
hut because it will give the student lodv and
tiliens throughout the state an opportunity to
hear him sum up his iews and principles in a
concise and compact form. I.. C.

I Ion 'ever, whether the
proposals are accepted
or rejected, the average sludent should le par
ticiilailv interested in how his time is shifted
around, and also in how his money is skiii.
Still more inqiortant. naturally, than minor constitutional changes is the choice of president and
But many potential voters haven't seen the light yet. in spite of the main instances this year which have demonstrated the
inqioriance of ability and hard work in student
government. They seem to need additional inducements.
So
if "money" questions and "vacation"
questions can be settled by one vote, and if these
questions will coax shy voiers to the olls
we
say more power to the legislature.

Let Us College Students Decide
In The Bertrand Russell Case
Although ii appears that the entire matter
should have been settled weeks ago. the
Russell "case" is still hanging fire in al
most daily flare-upthat leave one with an increasingly had taste in the mouth.
On one side are those who claim the British
philosopher and mathematician would teach
"immorality" and "atheism" to American col
lege students. They maintain that ii is a clear
case of " . . . academic freedom being used as a
cloak to promote the popularization in the minds
ol adolescents acts forbidden hv penal law."
On the other side of the fence we have those
who insist the court rescind men t of the Paris
apointmeni to City College constitutes an in
fi ingemcnt on academic freedom. The American
Committee for Democracy and Intellectual Freedom,
of educators formed to combat educational retrenchment and encroachments against freedom in teaching, regard the
cas as
a denial of Ixith the democratic
tradition and the principles of free education."
But thus far, little has been said concerning
the student's position in the controversy. Wc
undergraduates arc caught somcxxhai Irctwcen
a social Scylla and Charbdis
both sides claim
to know what is best for us and Ixnh sides seem
as if
determined to make the decision for us
vec had no discretion, no intelligence, no minds
of our own.
And yet. if wc, who arc to Ik- the ones immediately affected in either case, were permitted
to "le heard as well as seen" in the matter, there
seems to be but one conclusion to le arrived at.
The implication that men and women of college age arc incapable of distinguishing for themselves hetween right and wrong is nothing less
than an insult to our generation!
l iidergraduates who have studied under Karl
Russell at the I'nivcrsitv of California at l.os
Angeles report that his lectures adhered strictly to the subjects he was engaged to teach namely, logic and higher mathematics and philosophy
and that on no occasion did he advance a
Inliel that could be considered immoral or irreligious under even the strictest of eihical standards. In fact, many of his students there say
they consider their lives "enriched" bv haying
been exposed to so brilliant an intellect.
I his newspaper
believes, in y ieyv of what has
slated alxivc. that here is one instance in
vdiieli all concerned would le U tter off if Ix.ih
sides in the adult row would stop their bit ker-inand listen to what the younger generation
thinks alvrtut something for a change. It is sel
(lorn enough that we are in a xtsiiion to make a
vtund conttibiition to our society, but here is
one case in which wc have an inside track.
