* From The New Editor

Tlie editorials in each year's final Kernel are usually devoted largely to a review of the year's events and some predict ions almut next year.
Tin's year we tan comment with justifiable pride on both

,

-

:":r)'-

?i'?iliipi

v'

Aspects.

This has been a year of growth for the University new
housing, a new women's dorm, increased enrollment, and the
itart of construction on our medical center, to name a few.
In other fields, we saw the man in the brown suit coach
ln's "fiddlers' to an unprecedented fourth national basketball

championship.
Last week the faculty adopted what we think is the year's
most significant measure: the raising of the scholastic standing
required to remain in the University.
All has not been sweetness and light, however. There
liavc been controversies, some trivial and some of
significance. The Kernel has been in the thick of most of them
and has been criticized for its stand on some.
We do not mind criticism as long as wc receive it on the
same grounds that wc give it: in tlic belief that the otlicr
is tcronx and that Jus actions are detrimental to the best
interests of the University.
A new era will begin for us in September. We will publish
the Kernel four times a week, thus enabling us to report on
events while they are still fresh. The Kernel has gained recognition among college papers as a weekly. We shall do everything within our power to maintain and further that reputation as a daily.
As to our policy, it will remain unchanged. We shall publish news stories with as much accuracy and clarity as possible.
News will be selected as in the past: it must be of interest to
our readers and in accordance with ethical journalism.
The Kernel, unlike a great many college newspapers, 1ms
no faculty or administrative censorship. The responsibility
for his editorial comments rests entirely on the editor. This
freedom of expression has proved to be a better curb on irresponsibility than censorship ever could be.
The editor makes no claims to infallibility of judgment,
and he will no doubt make mistakes at times. For this reason,
ve shall continue our policy of publishing letters from readers
which take issue with statements we have made. The only
requirement is that letters must be signed. Names will be
withheld upon request.
We recognize our responsibility to the University community, and its interests are paramount. If we seem to ignore
national events, it is not from disinterest but because we
haven't the facilities to cover them adequately.
Finally, we realize that situations may arise when we must
deviate from a previous decision and change our mind. Most
likely our only explanation will be that which is written on a
sign in the Kernel newsroom, to wit:
JUST
"THERE'S NO DAMN REASON FOR IT-I- T'S
OUR POLICY1"

editorial by the
Now the time has come for the farewell. It isn't going to

this,-howerare going to miss
It has been an interesting and fruitful year for the mem
bers of the staff. It can only be hoped that in some small way
we have made the University community; aware of the vital
issues and caused some concern over them. We hope that we
have presented the news and comments in a fair manner.
To those whom we have criticized we can only say that it
was not done from malice, but in the hope of bettering a
situation. To those few praised, let it be known it was only
because they truly deserved it.
The staff has tried hard to raise the standard of reporting
and comment to a high professional level. We feel that this
aim has been accomplished to a degree. The final judge, how- ever, is the reader and we nav'e no Xvay'of Knowing wiwi

Nevertheless, we leave with a feeling of achievement. A
vote of thanks is owed to the various news sources on campus,
our reporters who worked diligently, and the Journalism School
which provided us with the opportunity to publish the Kernel.
We leave with the hope that by our presence the University
lias gained something as we have by having been here.
We wish success to the new staff in its endeavor to publish
a Daily Kernel and we have confidence in their ability to do so.

THE

COURIER-JOURNA-

appeared on the editorial page of '
last week's Kernel, I'd like to make
a correction: The PR's did not
take every first place In the Regl- mental Drill Meet as you are prob- ably aware. There were two events
in which other universities of the
regiment placed first.
It is disappointing th3t you are
not able to appreciate accomplish- ments made in fields other than
your own and cannot refrain from
your customary sarcasm in writing
of them. I believe that honors won
by any group on campus ought to
be a source of pride to the Uni- versity and its members and not
an object of ridicule and flippant,
sarcastic articles in the University
paper.
Whether this is an attempt to
be humorous or to ver.t certain
prejudices, it is certainly petty,
immature and an poor taste. Such
articles do little but alienate your
readers and cause their, to lose
respect for the writer.
The Kernel is a fine paper in
many ways and shouldn't allow its
reputation and influence to be irn- paired by cheap journalism,
Sincerely,
