Mudd has been reporting on congressional affairs for near ly 12 years. A native of Washington, D.

Mobberley in a state ment announcing the removal ol sophomore Robert Collins as editor of the student newspapei THE COLLEGIAN. The statement, released Wed nesday at 2:30 p.m., was in response to a fictious story printed with a by-line on the editorial page of the October 23 issue of THE COLLEGIAN. "The Dean " The story, "The Dean," writ ten by a Greensboro College student is a short story about a "strict Methodist College"' in the South which is located near a large university where there have been campus disorders. The students of the small college are attending a required assembly. The dean of the college, "a husky middle-aged man," is walking across the campus when he is shot by a man with "young clean shaven face" who drives a Rolls Royce and shoots a "high powered Marlin." Advisor Resigns The story drew immediate attention from one of the COLLEGIAN'S faculty advisors, Edward Coleman who sent to Mobberley and to Collins a letter of resignation saying that he did not care to advise a paper in which an article like "The Dean" could be printeiV Collins told GUILFORDIAN staff members that Mobberley had contacted Collins' father who is president of Wdsleyan College in Rocky Mount, N. C. Collins said that his tather had Select Committee hearings on racketeering in labor and man agement. Mudd's lecture will be follow ed by a question and answer period. For those interested a jgk fhjge^JuJd^H^New^M^s ponderd * NO 8 told Mobberley, "I only wish that any issue of our student paper were as mild as that article." "See Psychiatrist" Collins also reported that the parents of Gerry Hepner, the author of the article, were told by a member Of- the adminis tration that their son needed "to see a psychiatrist." Collins said that he too had been told by the Dean of Students, Dean Locke, that he was mentally ill." Pub. Board Stymied The Publications Board, com posed of thirteen faculty and administrators and five students, met Tuesday evening with the intent of reaching some decision concerning the article "The Dean." Collins, who is a member of the board and who was at the meeting said that the board considered several motions, all of which were defeated. They then asked Mobberley to reach some decision without their advice. The first motion defeated by the board with a vote of eight to seven was a motion to remove Collins as editor. Other defeated motions were a motion to replace Collins with his associate editor, Ron Gallimore, a motion to request that Collins be given an official administrative rep rimand, a motion that both Gallimore and Collins both be removed from the COLLEGIAN staff, and a motion that Collins be expelled from Greensboro College. The final motion was riot voted on as Mobberley, whc was attending the meeting as an continued to page 3 dinner with Roger Mudd will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday in the Cafeteria.
