Censorship Of Daily Texan” Is Condemned
College Editors, Honorary Journalism Groups Take Action
FREEDOM DEMANDED
Proposal Made to Place Power Of Removal In Hands of Publications Board
RUN-OFF ELECTION SET FOR NOVEMBER 16
At its regular meeting last Monday the Student Senate set next Monday, November 16, as the date for the run-off election of the Vice President of the Student Body.
Julie Davitt, Lambda Phi, and Helene Couch, Sports Club, are the candidates.
This run-off election was made necessary by the fact that no candidate received a majority in the first election November 4.
(I.P.)—Asher Lans, of the Dartmouth, the oldest college newspaper in America, and Con Ashby, editor of The Sheaf, official publication of the Students’ Representative Council of the University of Saskatchewan, have both written to Ed Hodge, editor of the Daily Texan, of the University of Texas, questioning the basis and advisability of the censorship of the Daily Texan.
Asher Lan’s letter, in part, follows: “I hope that you knock this censorship gag for a loop. The Dartmouth is lock, stock, and barrel against all forms of censorship, and we’d like to know a little more about what is going on in Texas.”
Con Ashby’s letter reads: “In the twenty-five short years of the University of Saskatchewan, the University authorities have adopted a consistent policy of letting the students make their own mistakes and learn their own salvations. Since the University was founded this principle has been applied, and the students have faced their own problems, getting the advice or help of the various authorities only when they themselves asked for such aid.”
Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi, honorary and professional journalism fraternities for men and women, have presented to the board of Regents their proposal for ending the censorship of The Daily Texan.
Adopted by the two organizations, the resolution provides a plan for freeing the Texan by insuring the election of competent editors and by giving the board of publications power to discipline or remove an editor.
It was stipulated that in cases of removal of an editor, public charges must be filed, public trial conducted, and a public vote taken by the board.
The present method requires that the Students’ Assembly shall impeach the editor and that the Judiciary Council shall try the case. The board of publications can only recommend impeachment to the Students’ Assembly.

(By A. F. of L. News Service)
A new profit-sharing scheme, called a “labor dividend plan,” has been devised by the officials of the National Brewing Company of Baltimore for its 200 employes. The workers are paid the current wage scale, the stockholders are given 8 per cent dividends and what is left each year will be divided into three equal parts, one part being transferred to reserves (a capital and surplus account owned exclusively by the stockholders), one part to stockholders, and one part to labor, labor’s share being called a “labor dividend.”
An official of the company explains that “the size of the annual dividend of labor, as well as to capital, depends on the earnings of the company. The payment is a businesslike allotment of an earned dividend and has no bonus, Christmas present or ‘gift’ element.”
The company, with the usual optimism manifested in connection with profit-sharing schemes, expects the new plan will result in increased efficiency and output of the employees and a larger interest by them in the company’s problems and financial success.
It is interesting to note that the company expects to avoid a certain amount of federal taxes by the plan. Under present federal tax laws payroll costs are exempted from tax assessments and payments made to workers in the form of dividends are included in these payroll costs. It follows, according to officials of the company, that where earnings are high labor dividends actually will cost only about 50 cents on each dollar distributed, the other 50 cents representing money which would have to be paid in taxes if it were not given to the workers.
Mr. Norvel L. Church, conductor of the Columbia University band and orchestra and Vice-Supreme of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, national music fraternity, will arrive Friday to inspect the Sigma Phi Zeta, music fraternity. If the local organization passes the specifications, steps will immediately be taken to ensure its entrance as a chapter of the national fraternity.
Among the committee delegated to meet Mr. Church are: Mrs. Frances Hovey Bergh, Mac Mehlman, Charles Staltman, Laurence Tremblay, Joseph Title, Harold Hall, and William Lebedeff.
Mrs. Bergh, a faculty member of the music department, has taken several courses under Mr. Church and expresses delight in again being able to greet one of her former instructors. Says Mrs. Bergh, “Mr. Church is an extremely interesting man in that he has writen a number of musical treatises and books. His efficiency and capability as an instructor is highly commendable and a noteworthy goal for any music instructor.”
Phi Mu Alpha, commonly called Sinfonia, was organized October 6, 1898, at the New England Conservatory of Music by Ossian E. Mills and thirteen associates. Its organization at first was that of a Sinfonia club, but in 1900 it was determined to expand and form a regular college fraternity in musical schools of approved excellence.
There are approximately 75 active chapters with a membership of about 5000.
Government is through a board of supreme officers constituting with a member of each chapter a supreme council. Conventions are held every two years. The fraternity admits honorary members such as has been done with Percy Grainger, Mischa Elman, and Abram Chasins in Sigma Phi Zeta.
The fraternity issued an annual from 1901 to 1914. This contains chapters letters, portraits of the members, lists of initiates and the like.
It also issues twice a year a periodical called the “Sinfonian.” It has published 3 song books, words and music being written by members. It also publishes every two years a “Handbook,” containing membership lists.

Not a bit superstitious about the 13 per cent increase in enrollment in his department, the dean of the college of Agriculture at the University of Vermont predicts greater increases next year.
Warner Hardman will give a piano recital, Monday evening, Nov. 30 in the auditorium of the University. Mr. Hardman is a senior in the university and was heard last year as soloist at the closing orchestra concert of the Conservatory season. All students of the university and residents of Coral Gables are cordially invited to attend this concert.
The inquiring reporter has been busy again. This week the question was: Do you think a party system would be favorable in school politics?” Tom Condon: “I do. It will do away with the sorority and fraternity factions and tend to bring out the policies of the school.”
Whitey Wolcuff: “I’m not a politician. Did you ever see me going around kissing babies? No!”
Flo Ryan: “No. I don’t favor a party system any place. I’m a radical.”
Transfer Teeter: “Yes. Otherwise one party or clique can get control of the politics and keep it.”

By Eliot Thomson, Jr.
A small, hard-fighting Stetson Freshman football team out-gamed a heavier Miami yearling squad yesterday, in West Palm Beach to earn a 6-6 tie in a game that the Hurricane Frosh should have won by two touchdowns.
Miami, who so overwhelmingly out-played a Rollins outfit
two weeks ago, fell down under fire when the going got a little tough and, as a team, just failed to click at all.
Both teams scored in the third period. Henderson, Stetson quarterback, fumbled a Miami punt to open the quarter and Miami recovered on the Hatter’s 47. The Baby Hurricanes benefited on an exchange of punts and started a touchdown drive from the Stetson 28. Stockdale picked up four yards through guard and a pass, Douglas to Miller, was good for 11. With a first down on the Stetson 13, Radachio heaved the oval into the end-zone right to the waiting mitts of Douglas for the first six points of the afternoon. The kick for extra point was low.
Miami was right back knocking for another counter but Walkup, swift little Stetson backfielder, stepped into the picture to intercept a toss which Douglas had intended for Radachio, and moving out into the clear, outran the entire Miami secondary to travel eighty yards for a touchdown. Woods kicked for the extra point went wide and the margin of victory was passed up.
The Baby Hurricanes should have had another touchdown on at least two occasions. In the second quarter, Douglas flipped a sweet pass to Miller over the line of scrimmage, Miller, just before being tackled, lat-eraled to Stockdale, who had a clear field ahead but stumbled and fell 23 yards from the goal.
Raski and Olson were outstanding in the Miami line. Raski, one of the toughest tackles ever to wear a Miami uniform, turned on the steam time and time again to put the Stetson boys on the turf. He was by far the best tackier on the field.
Noppenburg was the only back to gain consistently for Miami. Douglas and Kaplan were good now and then, and Paul Miller finally came out of his slump to turn in some good ball carrying. As a unit, the Hurricane backfield looked bad. Cooperation on the blocking end of the plays was lacking. Tommy Moore wasn’t up to his customary form on the running plays.
Darst, a cracker-jack fullback, did most of the Hatter ball-toting and raised the devil with the Miami line until injured in the second half. Walkup was the fastest man in West Palm Beach yesterday afternoon. He made much yardage other than his touchdown journey and was a constant threat when the Hatter babies had the hide.
When the Darst boy was injured a kid named Anderson came into the old ball game and passed his way to potential stardom in the second half, but Raski and Corcoran got to him with one of those “two-Timer” tackles and we saw no more of him for the remainder of the contest.
Cudmore, Stetson center and brother of the star varsity end, played in Miami’s backfield and was very mean about throwing Hurricane runners for sizeable losses.
The uniforms of both teams were practically identical and made it difficult to distinguish one from the other at times. Miami may attribute the long touchdown gallop to this fact, in the event that no other excuse prevails.
The University of Miami band put on another snappy exhibition between the halves, and Warren Hoff, the master of the baton, again did his stuff for the benefit of those assembled.
On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, November 24 and 25, the University Players will present their second production of the season Broadway,” a three act modern melodrama by Phillip Dunning and George Abbott.
In selecting the ganster story of broadway night-life which is a departure from anything ever done by the department, Mrs. Opal E. Mot-ter, director, has had in mind a varied program to please all types of audiences.
“Broadway” includes singing and dancing by a chorus of six under the personal direction of Mrs. Sidney Casell who has had experience in dancing. The dancers are Dorothy Mae Buddington, Miriam Lockhart, Gwen Davis, Adele Rickel, Jean Moore, and Mary June Peiter who is with the Sortelle dancers.
The principals in the cast are:
The song and dance man is Russell Hall. This was played by Lee Tracy in the New York production. Billie, Adele Rickel; Katie, hat check girl, Shirley Mandle; Steve, Sidney Casell; Scar Edwards, Bob Master-son ; Nick, the Greek, Leonard Tobin; Dolph, James Thayer; Porky, Victor Levine; Cabaret primadona, Theresa Hester; Joe, the waiter, Eddie Baum-garten; Dan, the detective, James Daar; and, other gangsters — Harry Miles, Frank Fitch and Maxwell Marvin.

Chips Yates: “Such a thing is not necessary in a school as small as this. We all know one another well enough to be able to select our best officers.”
Virginia Witters: “Yes. It would give everyone on campus a chance to have a voice more so than is now possible on this campus.”
Peggy Searing: “I don’t think it would do because it is not necessary and would take too much time away from other activities.”
Jackie Rheney: “I think that such an idea carried out on this campus would create too much antagonism
