EDITH JOHNSON Oklahoma City col-
umnist Thursday added another blow to
the already groggy American youth con-
gress which convened in Washington last
week Miss Johnson like other columnists
found a tinge of red in the organization and
proceeded to show why the youth congress is “eager passionate
and fiery’’ She also condemned Eleanor Roosevelt far pro-
tecting the organization against the barrage of criticism levelled
at it by the elders thruout the nation
“If the United States cannot purge its citizenship of com-
munists and their influence how can the youth congress be
expected to do the same?" asked Mrs Roosevelt who showed
more insight and common sense concerning the alleged red
activities than either her husband or the columnists and cor-
respondents who painted the congress as a cross between a
circus and a meeting of the Third International
Miss Johnson also condemns the youth congress for booing
members of the house of representatives Perhaps the youths
did disturb the dignity of that austere body of representatives
but there is a certain school of thought which thinks maybe the
house should be booed occasionally Moreover it might even
add to the democratic element in our government for specta-
tors to express their disapproval of certain things said in those
sacred chamber s When the illiterate gentleman from Podunk
rises to speak and expresses himself on communists fascists and
other groups the gallery is entitled to laugh and hiss as it
pleases The rumor has been circulated that our representa-
tive bodies sitting in Washington are suspiciously similar to
a third-rate musical comedy It’s too bad the members of the
youth congress didn't have a few tomatoes on hand
Democratic Miss Johnson suggests that the youths purge
the communists from their ranks “Otherwise it will lose the
sympathy of patriotic Americans” Getting rid of the com-
munists may be a noble objective but Miss Johnson forgets
that this is the United States of America the only way she’ll
ever get rid of them is to out-talk them

VERY STUDENT at some
! time during his college-days
aspires to write a scratching de-
nunciation of professors who
monotonously read lectures from
yellowed notes of many years
standing
It’s really bad very bad to hare to
stay awake to the accompaniment of
an unbroken stream of polysvllaldc
words flowing mechsnically from the
lips of a bored faculty member
When a college professor gets so
tired of the subject he is charged with
teaching that his own torture become
a chore It is time for him to rwtgn
and take up farming or stamp collect-
ing He might retire only teachers
are paid hardly enough this day and
age to make that possible
WOMEN POLITICIANS find the “bad little
women in the hotels” as big a threat to their
ambitions as the housewife does to her mar-
tial happiness Mrs Ila L Huff told the
Women's Democratic council in Oklahoma
City Wednesday
She asserted that a “bottle and a blonde' have more in-
fluence with Oklahoma politicians than the “constitution and
the United States flag” Evidently she has little confidence in
the strength of character of the men who influence the state of
affairs ' f
She did nut say that she would deny the “blonde" a voice j
in government but she did suggest weapons to use to make the
inflto-nce of the “good little woman" heard She must develop
courage assert her rights refuse to vote for anyone who does
nut indorse the council's program And above all she must
not sell her time for campaign work for S250 a day Mrs Huff
left the impression that it is all right for a woman to sell her
lime but simply lhat she must demand her just dues
Women could ami should 1m- a good influence in government
At any rate it would be impossible to get a true cross-section
in the country without considering the ta lies But until they
kam to work fur issues rather than merely for the sake of
inakin-' their influence felt there will still be men who wonder
why the woman vs given the liallot

approval of the men enrolled -In she
university Lack of interest's u'suaL
will accompany the announcement of
the proposed alteration in our student
government To contrast the local' sit
uation with those on other campuses
read the following which we saw re-
cently In College Topics University
of Virginia paper
“THE WHOLE university ha
watched with amazement the almost
bitter political -battles that have
raged in elections during the past
j few years Some of the ileeper-
I thinking students have viewed
j the situation with genuine alarm
! It is not alarm that a large group of
! students has awakened to Its prlv-
I ilege of voting its own way or that
there has been a resurging spirit of
“out with the okl in with the new”
rather that the students have been
using the elections as a battlefield
and thus tampered with the most
sacred inheritance of this student
body"
While Virginia editorial writers be-
moan an over-interest in stuilent poli-
tics which has led to Intense fighting
we regret the presence of a lethargic
altitude among students on this cam-
pus — or no attitude at all-C B

editor and special events chief re-
vealed in a Journalism lecture Thurs-
day afternoon
“Radio news must be brief and only i
farts are given” Bezoff sakl "Longi
involved sentences must be broken
down into short simple ones”
In reading a newspaper a person
can- go over and over something he
does not understand but when lis-
tening to a radio he rant have some-
thing repeated Besoff explained
The news presented on straight
news broadcasts cannot have any com-
ments On Ik Discussion Is saved for
commentatoraTThe attitude is: “Here
is the news— believe' what you want
to”
“Listener like local news ‘more than
dwy do national news” Bezoff said
“so this is the kind of news WKY emphasizes”
Meter Fee Would
he thought there was no essential dif-
ference between raising water rates
Aid in Maintenance and charging a meter fee
“So far aa I know the city commis-
sioners haveni Inspected the genera-

that the Sikcent fee proposed at the1 Grlm nd Commissioner Ed Collins

itary sewer and waier lines fire plugs
meters and other material necessary
for the efficiency of those two de-
partments might be kept up to stand-
ard" Clement said In his letter
Mayor Sylvester Grim however
took another viewpoint on the matter
“If you Just stop to figure it we
have a reasonably high water rale
