in the

Official statement of the election

The election committee was
unable to declare a winner in the
presidential race of the Student
Government Association because
of the fact that a great number
of ballots were not voted properly and a dispute arose as to
these votes.
It was felt that in fairness
to both candidates a new election
should and will be held on April
28. 1842. in conjunction with the
election of members to the
legislature.
Marvin Akers was declared the
victor in the men's vice presidential race and Jane Birk in
the women's
race.
Explicit instructions will be given
to voters, and students have been
asked to read the ballots carefully
so that none will be deemed void.
Rules announced for the previous
election will be followed for Tuesday's balloting.
Polling places have been located
conveniently in each college and
students are warned by the election
board that they will not be allowed
to vote at any place other than that
designated for their college.

Tying Up The Loose Ends
This is i ho lasi ki rm I. which
will edii.
Starling nevt Tuesday, ihe new staff will lake
and I will lie back among ihe ranks of the
1

or.

readers, not the writers.
And so today, as is die custom. I am
'nK
to wind up all the loose ends in one last editorial
ud then bow oul.
First, if the reader will xrmii the immodestx.
I would like io ring in a personal note. I would
not do it except thai several persons have asked
r.ie why I am not going to do The Kfrnfi. nevt
vcar. and I have heard several rumors making
the rounds which are 100 per cent false.
I have not been "fired" and I have not cjiiii.
I am dropping from the editor's ost ai the usual
lime. The end of my year is up, that's all.
I did not apply for editor next year because
I didn't want to. and whv I didn't want io are
mv own personal reasons.
In some of the letters primed on today's editorial page are several mentioning "censorship"
tl Thi ktRNix. and I would like to take this
opxriunitv for setting ihe record straight. During the major portion of this year, the policy of
Tiif Kfrmi has been 100 per cent the jxilicy
ot its editor. Although I sometimes received
criticisms or comments after publication which
is fair enough practice in any man's country
thete were no restrictions whatsoever before the

paer

published. This is certainly a liberal
enough policv, and Kfrnfi. editors have always
been proud of the trust put in their judgment.
This "freedom of the press." if that is what
you want to call it, has for many years been
granted Thf Kfrnfi. hy the director of student
publications who. by action of the Board of
Trustees (October. 1937) is held personally
resonsible for 1 hf Kfrnfi. and everything that
appears in it.
In the future, however, we are informed, this
policv will not be carried out to the extent which
it has been in the past. For about the past month,
the judgment of the student editor has not lcen
considered final, and it will not be so in the
future. The director of publications has an
nounced that he plans to exercise more fully
the powers of regulation given him by ihe Board
of Trustees.
These powers of regulation could conceivably
extend to a requirement that all editorial matto date they
ter be submitted for approval-b- ui
have not been exercised to that extent. In the
past month there have been several paragraphs
cut out of an editorial, several letters which have
not been allowed to run, and occasional "advice"
to the editor to moderate this, or to state thai
was

been
differentlv. This-- as far as it has gone-h- as
more regulation than there has been in the past
four wars of The Kernel at least. Although it
perhaps is not as great a faculty participation as
there is at some other schools, it as well as the
recent ruling which abolished the Senior Edition
is no
-i- s clear enough evidence that The Ktrnff
longer "100 rcr cent student operated."
Since it has been decided that in the future,
where the judgment of the faculty adviser and
the judgment of the student editor conflict, the
adviser's opinion will be followed, it might be v al
liable to observe the points where the editor's

Sorry

Townspeople Don't
Understand Edition
To the Editor of The Kernel:
The one thing that seniors look
forward to is the senior edition of
The Kernel. It really is harmless fun;
the students laugh with us when
is comes out. Now it seems that we
tiro not to be permitted this.
Why? Some one doesn't want to
take the' trouble to censor the edition.
The alumnae and townspeople do
not understand that the paper is
the Senior Edition that is the ex- pianatlon given the staff and students,
As for the alumnae, there has always been a senior edition. Surely
they haven't forgotten that. And
the townspeople cant they enjoy
a little fun. too?
Unless better reasons than the
a bove can be given for abolishing the
se nior edition of The Kernel, I, and
t of the student body, still want

judgment this vear was questioned. The main
cases have Ikh-(I) An editorial protesting the
laciilty's ruling on the SGA amendment; (2)
One suggesting revision of a University ruling:
(3) T wo editorials, written at ihe height of the
ami lalxir feeling, in which we presented labor's
side of the controversy: (4) Publishing a SGA
welfare committee's investigation of the residence halls, before' i he report was submitted to
the facultv: (5) An article which almost involved
ihe pajer in a libel suit; and (6) generally, the
"destructive" or
tenor of the editorial page in general.
Of these, one the allegedly libelous piece-sho- uld
not have gotten in the paper. But as for
the others, and for the general trouble-huntinspirit, we are not a bit ashamed. We would run
every one of them again tomorrow if the occasion
c a me up.
..
Under ihe new system we might not have been
allowed io print some of them at least, if we
had. it would have been after a long talk with
the facultv adviser and probably the changing of
some language here and there, so they would not

so

Perhaps this is justifiable, perhaps not. At any
rate, we know it would take a great deal of the
"kick" out of editing any man's paper.
It is the same general feeling, I would say.
that caused such a lack of interest in petitioning
for the student legislature this spring, after the
administration's stand on the degree to which
student government will be allowed io function
on its own judgment.
On the whole, The Kernel this year has been
under a handicap. Where we usually had before the war 30 to 40 members on the stall,
the past few months we have been working with
only 17. We have had to do many things which
were not the best journalism because we didn't
have the staff available to do them right.

Surely no one has a guilty conscience and Is afraid of this edition!
It seems most peculiar that after all
these years they have suddenly decided to abolish such a traditional
"fun sheet."
Member's of the Board, can you
truthfully say that the Senior Edition does any rmrm? Won't you reconsider?
WE WANT IT! !

Editor of The Kernel:
'Senior Edition Ruled Out!" I
don't get it What possible harm
could a few senior journalism students do in poking fun at this institution and those in it? This is a
democratic institution? Don't make
me laugh.
Surely Dr. Plummer couldn't have
been serious when he gave those
six reasons for his decision in the
case. I've heard more logical excuses from one of Dr. Goebbel's
broadcasts justifying certain Nazi
decrees.
Let's hope this is all a joke.

To the Editor of The Kernel
I
to protest very strongly the
abolition of the Senior Edition of the
Kerne!. It is the one issue that I
look foreward to as a source of
good humor at the expense of students and faculty, not hurting anybody if it is taken as it is meant, in
sot ii clean fun.
I cannot see that any of the reason
advanced for its abolition are worthy or even sensible and unless ome
more reasonable reasons are set
forth. I feel that the edition saoukl
be published this year as usual
I feel that I am in aereement with
the majority of students in this
matter and I say Let's have our
Senior edition back let's not censor
that TOO!
