With a Sigh of Relief
This is the fourth and last Log issue of the summer ses­
sion. And, it is with a sigh of relief mingled with regret
that we say, "That does it."
The job of summer editor lias a reputation for being
hard, exasperating work. So, if you have noticed my calm
lack of worry (not to mention lack of work), I can only say
that it is all due to John Nellor, Bill Anderson, Jerry Marks,
Art Atkisson and all the other columnists and contributors
who have made the summer more joy than pain.
These fellows have probably added years to my life

Scribe Defends Intellectual Freedom
In American-Educational System
By Art Atkisson
In March, 1811, a young man
was expelled from Oxford for
having written a pamphlet con­
trary to the established thought
of the day. The young man left
college determined to give his
life to the cause of intellectual
freedom and later established
himself as a great poet-Percy
Shelley.
Today in this country great
discussion is taking place on the
meaning and limitations of "·aca­
demic freedom ." The importance
of the discussion and the ultimate
outcome are not to be slighted,
for, if peace does begin in the
mind of man, then the task of
the educator is tremendous. The
delicate balance on the scale of
political and economic progress
must be "tipped" in the right di­
rection, and those who will de­
termine the right direction and
do the "tipping"_ are now being
molded in thought and action by the educators in our nation's
schools.
It is interesting that the mother
count.t·y of communism , the dog­
ma that has brought to head the
long festering sore on the body of
intellectual thought, immediately
after the revolution dissolved en­
tirely the measure of academic
freedom previously existent. The
resulting deterioration of the So­
viet school system led one Rus­
sian educator to remark: "The
Marxist theory of the withering
away of the state has been ac­
companied by a withering away
of the school."
Where academic freedom 1s
suppressed there exists a strong
compulsion from above to con·
form. It must be remembered that
forced conformity is just next

'Women Should Have Help Picking Clo.thing,'
Says LC' s Famous Book Store Philosopher
One evening the conversation among patrons of the Campus
Book Store centered around women's clothing.
"Although most of the girls will disagree with me I believe

Single men say that women
should be allowed to pick their
clothing by themselves. This did
not come as too great a surprise
to the group because, as was
brought out in the discussion,
men tend to be more conserva­
tive than women. So, although
the men would pick conservative
clothing, apparently they like to
see girls boldly dressed. That is,
when the girl bears the respon­
sibility of picking the thing! (This
cowardice on the part of men is
a faworite subject of Mrs. Ward
and will be mentioned again
later.)
Married men think that they
could very definitely do a better
job of picking their wives' cloth­
ing but they admitted that they
never did. Their reason, natural­
ly, was to avoid marital difficul­
ties. Men Lack Backbone
Mrs. Ward was dismayed that
no majority · of any group agreed
with her. Even the married men
didn't agree to the point of ac­
tion. They thought that things
should be different but were un­
willing to brave the wrath of the
weaker sex. She points out that
this is the great fault of the
American husband. She says that
the wife finds that she has the
strongest will and Mrs. Ward
feels that deep down the wife
does not like it.
''She would rather feel that she
has married a man with will pow­
er," said the book store philoso­
pher. "Men don't have the back­

After all, Nature must take her

of germs through the process of
kissing is concerned, most peo·
pie are willing to further science
by "experimenting." "Criminology? Are you going
to be a criminal?"
Strange as it may seem to some,
that is typical of the questions
asked students who took visiting
professor of sociology Randolf
J. Hutchins' criminology course
the first six weeks of this sum-
mer.
But, such is not the case. The
full title of the course was "Prin­
ciples of Criminology." In other
words, Hutchins was trying to
beat into the heads of his class
the reasons why a person be­
comes criminal, methods of treat­
ment and punishment, prison,
probation, parole and other sys­
tems and factors dealing with
criminology. It was NOT to
"Learn to be a criminal and get
away with it in six easy weeks"
course.
The general concensus is that it
was an ·interesting arid instruc­
tive class. However , the question
in the minds of the students was
how Hutchins could go through a
600 plus page textbook and other
lecture material in six weeks. But he did it, to the amazement of
many in the class, and some not
enrolled.
Popular on the campus, as well
as off, because of his "arm-chair
chats" and friendly conversations
with students outside of class,
Hutchins m,akes use of his trav­
els in both North and South
America by bringing into lectures
personal experiences and accounts
of happenings dealing with the
varidus aspects of criminology.
These personal experiences, he
believes, help to establish or put
over a point.
Hutchins has taught in all lev­
else of education, from elemen­
tary and junior and senior high
schools to two-and -four-year
colleges in Southern California
the San Juaqin valley, Washing~
ton, D. C., Oregon and other
places. For a while he worked in
Cuba on a social work project
with the aim of preparing refu­
gees for entrance into the United
States.
To repeat, he did not tell the
class how to be a successful crim­
inal. One Sure Way

The well-known "Thumb

by students between the cam·
pus and town sometimes oper·
ates to the best advantage on
the installment plan. Two
freshmen boys not .long ago
were offered the second half
of their ride at Terwilliger and
Bar bur boulevards. ·
During the ensuing conver·
sation th~ students talked to
the driver freely about the col­
lege and in parting remark~:
'"You keep your eye on LeWIS

lege."
"Yes, I know,"· answered the
