...Daily News's top expose expert, Capital Correspondent George Thiem (pronounced theme), told him to start digging. As Thiem, 59, began to turn up pay dirt, most other Chicago papers ignored his story. But by last week Thiem's digging had unearthed the biggest state scandal in years, spread it across Page One in Illinois papers from Waukegan to Cairo. Fearful that the scandal could rock Republican chances at the polls in November, Governor William Stratton last week ordered Auditor Hodge to 1) withdraw as a candidate for reelection, 2) double his surety bond (to $100,000) within...

Connell: "According to the ideas of 'intercredal fellowship and brotherhood' current in the United States, and accepted by many Catholics, the Catholic organization performed a commendable deed.

What he did, in my opinion, was at least morally wrong . . . It is common practice for at least 75% of all those representing us in Austin and in Washington to get their fingers into public appropriations...
During the Class of '31's junior year, the only College issue that received much notice was the scrubwoman scandal, which wasn't resolved until about a year later. The scandal broke just two days after the Soldiers Field Locker Building was completely destroyed in a three-alarm fire, after which Clarence Dillon '05 offered funds for a new field house. Then on 17 January 1930, Boston papers revealed that 20 cleaning women in Widener had been dis- charged by the University. Apparently their salaries were not up to the legal minimum wage, and the University was unwilling to raise...
