...morale by its outspoken hostility to the administration. He called on professors to put their own complaints in writing or hold their tongues. The students passed his resolution. Afterward they remembered Editor Edmondson's reputed closeness to Dean Wannamaker, wondered if they had not endorsed a bright red herring.

If they fail, then you may talk about other methods." The Green Eagle began to look poorly when Governor Clyde Herring of Iowa, after a telephone call to the White House, invited ten Midwestern Governors and representative farm leaders to meet with him in Des Moines this week.
