...comes the news that the student government body of the University of Oregon seeks to control the editorial policy of the Oregon Emerald, the university daily. This move against the freedom of the Emerald is an outgrowth of editorial criticism directed against the A. S. U.

The new board of censorship would pass judgment on all editorial policies of the Emerald, and shelter its sponsor from unwelcome criticism...

Granted his, method of attack, it is necessary that his characters should be vivid and distinct, their personalities clearly differentiated. Unfortunately they are not.
