decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without government. I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."
By God's will we in the United States have !>oth. We know
now that a free press cannot exist without a free government, and a free government cannot live without a free press.
Around the world newspapers expound the opinions that s,a'
reflect the expressions of men. It is when the newspapers      "
fall into the hands of men wh.. wish to dominate instead of JJ '
advise that it becomes a weapon against the freedom of a on
nation or an individual. The role of the newspaper is to in- in N
"orm. advise, criticize, entertain, and reflect individual and n
public opinion.                                                                                     ■ tllni
When it goes beyond these Ih.uii.1s. it ceases to strengthen on i
truth, it ceases to function for the good of society, it ceases ""■'
to distinguish between right and wrong.
There are approximately 12,000 newspapers (dailies, week- 1BCl
lies, semi-weeklies and etc.) presently being published in the      „
United States. The majority of these operate with a strohg (,v ,
sense of obligation to the public, but on the other side of
the coin we have those  utilized   for the sole purpose of '>""
propaganda. ud's
To borrow from another phrase, bad newspapers drive-out JTf^
good newspapers. It is the responsibility of newspaper readers ai»o
to distinguish between the two and to provide the motivating in tr
orce to defeat these so-called perverters of the truth. ■'■•"•'

But I digress. We were .smoking a Marlboro and
talking about the latest campus style.. Casual, we agree,
in the key word. But casual need not mean drab. Liven

But I digress. We were smoldng a Marlboro and discussing fashion. Let us tum now to headwear. The motif
in hats this year will be familiar American scenes. There
will be models to fit every head—for.cxamplc, the "Empire 8tate Building'' for tall, thin heads; the "Jefferson
Memorial" for squatty heads; "Niagara Falls" for dry
•calps. Feature of the collection is the "Statue of
Liberty," complete with a torch that actually bums.
This is very handy for lighting vour Marlboros, which
is terribly important because no matter how good
Marlboros are, they're nowhore unless you light them.
