BradshawSays
Has Received Much Criticism
Concerning Peace Movement
Dean Says Faculty
Has Been Termed
War Mongers'
Stating that the University admin
istration has received "from many
sources" criticism of the peace move
ment on the campus, Dean of Stu
dents Francis F. Bradshaw yesterday
said some faculty members have ob
jected "to the fact that some of the
publicity has lumped all faculty' to
gether as war mongers."
"This last point is of course loose
writing," he said, "since there is al
most certainly as much diversity of
opinion among faculty members as
among students."
His complete statement to the" Tar
Hixl follows:
"The University administration has
received from many sources criticism
cf the peace rally. This criticism has
been mainly along three lines:
"1. Such a movement is consid
ered contrary to national policy as al
ready announced by the President.
"2. It is unrealistic.
"3. Some faculty members have
objected to the fact that some of the
publicity has lumped all faculty to
gether as war mongers.
"This last point is of course loose
writing, since there is almost certain
ly as much diversity of opinion among
faculty . members as among students.
"In regard to the other points of at
tack, it should be understood that the
administration has characteristically
refused to interfere with student dis
cussion and agitation on the. subject
cf peace and war just as in the case
cf ether social controversies.
"Proponents of war or preparedness
vrould of course enjoy the same free
dom from interference with orderly
exercise of free thought and free
speech." . ... . . v . . .
Student leaders of the peace move
ment last night said no accusation
against the entire faculty was meant.
They pointed out that a paragraph
at the end of an editorial feature on
last Sunday morning might be the
cause of the criticism.
The paragraph read, "But the older

Disturbances During War Skit
Quieted After Graham Appears,
Student Leaders Make Talks
By John E. Lindsay
A peace rally of over 1,000 students which threatened riot in
its early stages last night subsided into a calm, lengthy open
forum discussion of relationships between the United States and
the European war.
Opening turbulently with derisive shouts from the audience
and some throwing of eggs and fruit, the meeting calmed quick
ly after the appearance on the platform of President Frank P. Graham,
who did hot speak, and talks by several student leaders representing varied
points of view on the rally.
President Graham rose from his seat near the front of the auditorium
and approached the platform at a time when the program had been forced
to standstill by audience reaction.
. The President said nothing but merely looked out over the audience. He
received a tremendous ovation for several minutes.
The meeting then continued, under slight disturbance, until Beb Sloan,
student leader. explained his action in distributing a satirical handbill con
cerning peace and asked that the audience permit "the right of freedom of
speech. Let every speaker have his say," he urged. After Sloan's talk the
session continued quietly for about two hours.
, A report late last night said that Dean of Administration R. B. House had
frspoken during the early part of the

President Frank P. Graham,
whose silent appearance on the plat
form at last night's peace rally was
an "important factor in quieting the
audience and permitting the pro
gram to continue.

Campus Papers
Defend Press
For years the American college stu
dent has been openly critical of the
press. There still is vociferous criti
cism in the classroom, in informal
discussions, and in the campus publica
tions. But it has grown steadily more
constructive.
The charge that all newspapers are
packed full of lies fails to win col
lege support today. Rather, students
are familiarizing themselves with dif
ficulties that beset the press, with its
aims, with peculiar conditions rela
tive to certain newspapers. And still
they believe extensive changes must
be made if newspapers are to give
fullest service.
Student editorialists at the Uni
versity of Idaho note a trend toward
the return of personal journalism, a
trend brought about by many factors.
And they conclude that "the machine
press has fallen into the same dis
favor as have most mere machines.
A new crusading newspaper fight
ing its personal fight to stamp out the
evils of a careless democracy on the
home front would not solve all of a
nation's problems. Social scientists,
educators and many enlightened news
paper men, however, agree it would be
a big help."
Washington and Lee undergraduate
journalists feel that "despite its pro
testations to the contrary, the journ
alism profession, by and large, is one
of the most conservative in the world."
Speculating on the newspaper's fu
ture, this publication continues. "It
seems to us to be inevitable that the
position of newspapers in the future
will be much different from the past,
when the papers had a complete mo
nopoly on all news sources, and that
if the papers themselves do not soon
begin to realize the changes that are
