age in writing about the flagrant abusers
of society.  It might be remembered  a
local rcporler uncovered gambling and b;
vice   throughout   this   city,   under   the;1"
name of the Shortcnder, while the local *
constabulary couldn't (or didn't care to) ?J
find the front door to these same places.    „ ,,„
And. as we recall it, the Los Angeles dleuaes
dailies did a fairly good job of exposing
the antics of Brenda Allen, Charles Sto¬
ker. Audrey Davis and the rest of that "
infamous Southern  California gang of nf
prostitutes, bribe-solicitors, and pander- „i Women Evelyn Weigh

Above if all, however, we arc remind- Applications available
cd of one old saying when the 1;
The profession of scissors and paste-
pot has been attacked before, and there
is no doubt in anyone's mind the attacks
will continue. No thinking newspaper¬
man will say the profession is lily-white
—but by that same token every news¬
paperman will defend the great good
done by the press.
Last semester, it was our privilege to
hear the professors of criminology at
Fresno State expound their theories on
a multitude of things. Chief among these
things was their condemnation of the
American press.
Far be it from us to advocate the cur¬
tailment of freedom of speech. But to our
way of thinking, a professor who is
charged with teaching impressionable
college students should be fair enough to
show both sides of every question.
We repeatedly heard, last semester,
the crim teachers tell students in Crim
H2 how much of an ogre the press is.
In defense of our chosen profession. s»e
have this to say:
Taken man for man, from the best
metropolitan editors down to the young¬
est cub reporters—we'll stack the men
of the press against the men of the law-
enforcement agencies any day of the
week. And it's our contention the intel¬
ligence of the press side will be far out¬
weigh the intelligence of the men in blue!
