In a sworn statement given to the university police, two freshmen charged that the city police had attacked them following their arrest. "As we drove away," one reported, "the officer who had arrested me turned around and hit me in the mouth.

Regardless of the tone of such an advertisement--whether a reasoned statement or a scurilous attack--the Bulletin acted correctly in rejecting it. The policy which it follows of avoiding intramural controversy is a healthy one; the Alumni Bulletin correctly sees itself as a pleasant journal which lets the alumni body keep in touch with each other and with the University.
