1950_03 The Daily Collegian March 1950

Since the beginning of the newspaper
profession there has been a tendency on
the part of pressure groups, political
parties, labor units and organizations to
obtain control over a newspaper.
In many cases these controls vary.
Some buy and publish the paper, and
thereby dictate the policies. Others,
whenever possible, attempt to place in
charge, an editor who is sympathetic to
their policies.
In the case of the Collegian neither
control is available. The paper is pub¬
lished by the student association with
funds derived from student body cards
and advertising.
The Collegian has no censorship from
the board of publications or from the
administration.
As in the past it has been the policy
of the board of publications, which ap¬
points the editor, to select from the ap¬
plications submitted for the editorship
the one which shows enough experience
and general know-how to run the paper.
After the appointment the board at¬
tempts to hold no authority over the
policies of the paper except in the line of
The editor, therefore, is free to pub¬
licize any news story or editorialize on
any subject he feels is of enough interest
to the students.
He is subject to no one. He is, how¬
ever, subject to the basic precepts of
journalism; free play, integrity, and the
unbiased reporting of the news.

The State Department of Education, which

To the county welfare agencies this will
mean that bulk supplies will be substituted
for packaged foods, and that the counties
will have to bear transportation and pack¬
aging costs themselves. The federal gov¬
ernment has announced It win no longer

Both the Young Democrats of Fresno Coun¬

We heartily recommend that the read¬
ers give the front page column in this
issue. Behind the Rapping Gavel, by
Waren Kraft, student president, more
than a cursory glance. The president's
opinions, although not necessarily shared
by the editors, are worth reading.
For the benefit of the readers, we wish
to say that the column was not changed
or edited.

legislature to immediate action.
But it probably won't! Funds may b .
propriated to tide over the immediate relief
load and committees will certainly be appoint¬
ed to investigate the problem.
A fear of definite spending, a fear of si
ing the California industrial farm struct
and   legislators  who   have  always  thought 3
in terms of emergency relief acts and temp¬
orary measures, will probably effectively pro-
vent any program to get at the core of the  ,
perennial   misery   of   unemployment,   low ,
wages, and their consequent social effects.
Solutions to such problems are not easy,
and probably any solution would be imper¬
fect. But it is paramount to the interest of
the many thousands of farm laborers and
the general economic wealth of the state
that a large range program that goes U
the heart of the solution be enacted.
Long range means, in terms of the voters, '
candidates who are willing  to stick  their c'
necks out a mile long to upset the economic
unbalance that exists in the state. Long range •
means, in times of legislation, measures such  e
as full social security coverage, laws giving a
labor the right to organize effectively among ti
