I- THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, JANUARY S, 1953 U Brown Cites Dissent Role F.or Papers "The American newspaper will die itsit forfeits its defense of the "right to be wrong," said Sevellon Brown, editor and publisher of the Providence, R. I., Journal-Bulle- tin, stated in a paper read yes- terday at the fourth in the jour- nalism lecture series. Because bad weather caused the cancellation of his airplane flight to Ann Arbor, Brown's talk was read by Prof. Wesley H. Maurer, chairman of the journalism de- partment., THE DEFENSE of voicing dis- senting opinions is not only of vital importance to a newspaper's freedom, but is essential for the American newspaper if it is to gain the respect and the strength for assuming its editorial respon- sibility, rather than the criticism so greatly feared, Brown said. He continued by saying that dissenting opinion needs the protection of mass consent and that it is the duty of the press to play a part in winning this acceptance. The essence of Brown's address lay in Voltaire's famous lines which he quoted, "I disapprove of what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it." However the peril which news- papers and editors find themselves in today stems from the reader's misinterpreting the defense of in- dividual's dissent by a newspaper as a sign of condonement. As a result of this "guilt by as- sociation," Brown pointed out, it takes courage and character for newspaper owners, publishers and editors always to see through in times of tension and crisis to the opportunities, the obligations and the realities of newspaper policy.

Seven years later, when the devil comes around to collect Stone tries to breach the contract and prevails upon his friend Daniel Wedster, Edward Arnold, to plead his case. This leads to the dra- matic finale of the film. Prof. Gabra Discusses Diggings in Hermoupolis Culture and life in a 2,000-year- old Egyptian city was discussed yesterday by. Cairo University's Prof. Sami Gabra, who directed 20 years of excavation at the once- flourishing metropolis of Her- moupolis West. 'The site of the city is located about 200 miles south of Cairo, Egypt, and covers an area of 30 acres, most of which is still un- excavated. PROF. GABRA showed slides re- vealing that the people in this area once worshipped the Ibis bird, a genus common around the Nile basin. From 1931 to 1951, when Prof. Gabra was in charge of the excavations, many pictures and statue-idols of the bird were un- covered, as well as Ibis mummies. "The reason that the Ibis bird may have been chosen as an object of worship," Prof. Gabra said, "may have been that they ate many insects which might otherwise have de- stroyed Egyptian crops." Large subterranean galleries, similar to the famous Roman cata- combs have been unearthed at Hermoupolis West. These galler- ies contain chambers for worship and religious meetings. Niches in the walls contained hundreds of mummies of the sacred birds. Hermoupolis flourished as early as 700 B.C. and, as the animal cult spread over Egypt and the Near East, developed into a cos- mopolitan mecca for worshippers, according to Prof. Gabra. Prof. Gabra concluded that the excavations confirm many ancient Greek stories and documents which historians could not pre- viously rely on as factual, Boak to Conclude Jerome Lectures Prof. Arthur Boak, Richard Hudson Professor of Ancient His- tory, will present the last in the Jerome lecture series on "Man- power in the Western Roman Em- pire" 4:15 p.m. today in the West Conference Rm. of the Rackham Bldg. "Government Services" will be the topic of Prof. Boak's round- table discussion. A REVIEW -A Picture OF 1952' Cap-\Is a le I 'hi '.
