Page 2 University Daily Kansan Monday,Dec.17,1950 Hutchinson Paper Says— Let Students Have Fling At Politics Wilt the Stilt has one foot safely in the door of basketball's hall of fame; Chuck Mather's effigy has been cut down from the lamp post where they hanged it. But, still, all is not well on Mount Oread. The student governing board of The Daily Kansan, student newspaper, has voted to remove from its constitution a clause which prohibits the paper from taking sides on political issues. The dean of the School of Journalism opposed the move and warns that he will "make sure neutrality is observed if the Kansan Board is unwilling to continue to do so." Dean Marvin is concerned, of course, with the possibility that a Daily Kansan editorial attacking Democratic Gov. George Docking, say, or criticizing the Republican legislature, would bring down on the University the wrath of the politicians so needled. I appreciate the dean's concern, but I don't agree with his stand. In the first place, it would do the Democratic governor and the Republican legislators, and all the rest of us, a lot of good to read what your youngsters think about political issues. More important, The Daily Kansan is a laboratory for the training of the state's future reporters and editors. Politics is a large part of a working newsman's life. If he is to be well grounded in it, he needs to get his feet wet when he's a student. Let the young Daily Kansan editors have their say. Let them know that political slanting of a news story, or an irresponsible political editorial will be cause for dismissal. But let them have a fling at it. You don't produce newspapermen out of hot house plants. —The Hutchinson News-Herald Santa Effigy A Mockery Of Christmas SANTA HUNG IN EFFIGY! Either some KU students have an awfully morbid sense of humor or a warped set of values. The Santa Claus dummy which was hung in a tree in Fowler Grove was apparently supposed to draw some sort of an amazing parallel with the Mather incident which occurred a couple of weeks ago. If it was supposed to, it did. The Santa effigy business smacked of the same childish mockery and ingratitude as did the other, but this time not a mockery of a man, but of Christmas. About 8 p.m. the other day, I was passing by Strong Hall. It was the night after the sleet storm and the ground was still blanketed with white. The Christmas lights were on and somewhere on one of the top floors of Strong a voice major or perhaps a voice teacher was singing "Oh Holy Night." The setting and the background were perfect and the music which could easily be heard from the street created an atmosphere of Christmas—unequaled by at least my experience at the University of Kansas. This feeling can be contrasted with the small and perhaps to some, insignificant hanging of Santa in effigy which exemplifies the meaning of the word nauseating. While Santa Claus certainly does not bring out the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Christ, he represents to many the spirit of giving. He is often so closely linked with the idea of Christmas that the prank seems almost sacrilegious. Perhaps some students on the Hill should examine themselves to see if they really believe in anything. Evelyn Hall After Six Years Negro Still Trying To Enter Georgia U. ATLANTA — (UP) The case of Horace Ward versus the University of Georgia—one of the most persistent examples on record of a Negro's efforts to break the color barrier—finally came to trial today. After six years of preliminaries, Ward went into federal court still contending that he was denied admission to the University of Georgia Law School because of his race. The nonjury trial was before judge Frank Hooper. The state maintained that Ward failed to comply with registration requirements set up for all prospective students and that he did not "exhaust administrative remedies" before filing suit. The state arrived its top legal UNIVERSITY Dailu Hansan The state got an unexpected windfall in 1953 when Ward was inducted into the Army. When he resumed his case after his discharge, the university faced him with a long-standing rule that all applications pending at the time of a call to military duty must be started over again.

Ward received a Liberal Arts degree from Morehouse College here and did graduate work in political science at Atlanta University, both Negro institutions. After Ward applied at the Georgia Law School, entry requirements were stiffened for everyone. Ward contends it was done to keep him out, but the university says is was because of a protest by the American Bar Association that it was "too easy" to get into the law school.
