Isn't it silly? Mr. Wrighr thinks it silly, too—
sometimes. Then, he reads press notices in thc
Valley newspapers concerning our disputations,
and people write and ask if all is not well with
Fresno State, and immediately Mr. Wright is gal-'
vanized into an action that is calculated to plug
such "leaks" concerning our happy family.
Out of such galvanization comes such pronouncements as that of last Wednesday—wholly
untenable, wholly indefensible.

preserves of that division, then it appears to us
that all ethical and obligatory principles have been
grossly violated.
