When Communist pamphlets were confiscated at Harvard two weeks ago, "The New York Times" stated triumphantly that authorities were beginning a quiet and efficient drive against "red" groups in the University. The story turned out to be almost completely false. Just a few days later when unimpeachable sources reported that a new "ism"-- the Yale Imperialist Association--had long been burrowing beneath the Yale Campus, "The Times" refused to touch it. Only the courageous "Yale News" dared print that undergraduates "tossed off their vodka, smashed their glasses against the wall, and pledged their White Russian honor to the Romanoffs...

Moreover, there has been intensified action on a number of University fronts; although none of the recently issued statements alters one whit the positions which have been previously taken...
