Top Court Liberal In Espionage Rule
Freedom of press and speech is one of the most cherished rights of the American people. In the past, however, in times of national danger, Congress has curtailed that right, believing it is better to be safe than free. The Alien and Sedition acts passed soon after the Constitution was written and the Espionage act of World War I are examples of this.
In the present struggle, the government and especially the Supreme Court are taking a more liberal view. The theory that we should not let a war destroy those qualities we are fighting for is being acted upon. As soon as war was declared, newspapers were warned that the Espionage act of 1917 was again in force. Eut the infamous Sedition Amendment that was part of it during the last war is no longer a section.
The Supreme Court's decision of last Monday in the Baumgartner case is evidence of this new liberal view. The Court in revoking the cancellation of the American citizenship obtained by a German who was declared to have falsely pledged allegiance to the United States laid down broad principles to be followed in the future. The decision, which was unanimous, said the man shall not be punished for giving silly or even sinister-sounding views which native-born citizens utter with impunity.
Earlier in the war Attorney General Biddle wired all U.S. district attorneys not to make arrests under the Epionage Act which involve only free speech. No longer is a mere criticism of the government enough to jail a man in time of war. Now it must be shown that his words are "a clear and present danger" to our national security and that he intended to destroy that security. The U.S. is progressing toward a truer evaluation of the "freedom of speech" right—K.G.
It was once believed that rubies contained an internal fire that could bring water to a boil.

We Live and Learn—Often the hard way, finds Laura Schmid, new Harmon Co-opite. Laura, who came to school only a few weeks ago, was doing a little exploring. In quest of the post office, she found herself lost in the basement of Frank Strong.
A half hour of aimless wandering, and still no exit. Then Laura spied a stairway. In delight she sped up, to find — several members of the Navy of the United States reclining at their leisure in the "peace and security" of their ship. There is some debate over who was most startled. After several attempts, the mixup was explained, and one of the sailors, taking pity, also, took Laura by the hand and led her back to the basement. And still she was lost. So the good samaritan guided her through the corridors, up another stairway, and, still holding her by the hand, saw her safely to the proper door.
There are many ways of becoming acquainted with one's campus!
All You Desire—Bargain of the week, we hear, is a ticket to "Gaslight" movie which is being sponsored—in no uncertain terms—by Pi Beta Fhi, for their physi-therapy award fund. Any unsuspecting male who comes within 25 feet of one of the super-saleswomen finds he hasn't a chance. "Care for a phone number,—Can we fix you up with a date?" And how many dozen tickets did you want, sir?"

All In the Family—The Sloans are in the news again, this time with a share your manpower problem.
Last Sunday Janet had a date with male interest, Chuck Shields, V-12. With others, they had planned a picnic, and when her date arrived Janet was still up to her neck in sandwiches. So sister, Pat, volunteered to entertain Chuck till Janet could take over. Her sister agreed and went back to her work.
Half an hour passed. The lunch was ready; so were the picnickers—and no Chuck. An hour passed and still no word. Finally, some quarter of an hour later, the pair returned, looking quite innocent; and Pat turned her charge back to Janet. Sister Sloan, however, is still wondering.
