So successful was the party that the Slide Rule committee decided to follow suit and was equally successful, having a sell-out after the tickets had been on sale for only two days. The popularity of these two dances clearly shows that the campus will no longer pay high prices to dance for a few hours to the music of a famous band. Ben Bernie, who played for the J-Hop, hardly drew enough people to pay the expenses. It would therefore be wise for those who tre planning dances in the future to profit by the success of our last two parties and reduce their prices to a level within the reach of the ma- jority of students. Col uibia s PmChild THE SPECTATOR, bad boy of the collegiate press and problem child of Columbia University, is in trouble again. This time an iavestigating committee has submitted a report on the policies of the editors, and its recommendation, that there be a drastic, change in the manner in which the editors of the Spec- tator carry out, in practice, their guiding prin- ciples, has been approved by a' student board. The student board has asked Dr. Nicholas Mur- ray Butler, president of Columbia, to make use of his power to curb the Spectator and recom- mends that: "The Managing Board of Spectator be informed, that, in our opinion, Spectator might be improved both as a newspaper and a critical force by a more careful inquiry into the facts of situations which it proposes to improve, by a more courteous treatment of opposed points of view, and less fre- quent use of sensational headlines and editorial invective." If the Spectator is purposely or otherwise gar- bling facts, we certainly feel that it should be reprimanded, and we agree with the criticism of the student board. The editors should certainly be sure of the facts before an attempt to deprecate or advocate improvement on any situation. However, before any student board attempts to dictate to the editors the sort of headlines that should appear in their paper, it should make sure that it is in possession of the facts. Personally, we have never noticed anything sensational about the headlines of the Spectator. We question very seriously whether the student board is a compe- tent judge of sensational headlines. In fact, after reading its dictum, we feel safe in saying that it is not. As far as the more courteous treatment of the opposed "points of view is concerned, we agree with a comment which appeared in the Williams Record: "It must be remembered that when undergrad- uates' are agitating' for a change, they must as- sume the attitudes of suppliants for favors- young men asking older men to be kind and make this or that alteration. It is necessary therefore. that the suppliant adopt as strong an attitude as possible; so that his case will receive a fair hear- in g . " We admit that the Spectator is a bit radical; but we feel that a college publication, like a metropolitan publication, loses influence and cil- culation when its facts are consistently garblec and when its editorial comments are unfair. Cen- r sors of the collegiate press should remember tha circulation figures and prestige are a sufficieni e force, over a long period of time, to regulate a e paper's editorial tone. Our advice to the Columbia student board is , to adopt a laissez-faire policy toward the Spec- tator, and if the problem child is cutting u; s again, the student body as a whole will bring s enough pressure to bear to make the bad bo3 a behave. if the Spectator is to be censored, we urge th board to have it censored by a group that know , something about journalism. There is no point ii ruining one of the few remaining real studen r newspapers. Musical Events ROY HARRIS - ON AMERICAS EMOTIONAL RhYThM CAMPUS SOCIETY a ;?
