Telling the Editor (Continued from page two) dence floating around. As to Penny naming his sources; that would be killing the goose that laid the gold en egg, and with eggs selling the way they are that just isn’t prac tical. Since when has a journalist had to name his sources ? For a long time now newspaper men have tee* printing information of the type found in Penny’s letter with out causing their sources the em barrassment of having their names Cliff Brooks, Robert Daggett Named Junior Candidates JOYCE NIEDERMEYER printed. After all, Mayo, one of Penny’s little helpers might be a friend of yours. Miss Van Valzah in her letter is also rattling her sword in Penny’s direction. Miss Van Valzah terms Penny’s broadside a collection of half-truths and' misconceptions. She is particularly bitter about Penny’s account of Gil Roberts’ threat to walk out of ISA if Hallock was put in as his running mate. Van Valzah says that such was not the case, and Herb Penny is an old fibber. Is it not strange, Miss Van Valzah, that on Wednesday your boy Gil Roberts made the state ment that Penny’s letter was a true account of the ISA caucus? I have not criticized Mayo’s or Van Valzah’s political opinions. I don’t care who wins the election, but I don’t think either Mayo or Van Valzah have any grounds to criticize Penny for using a report ing technique that has been accept ed for years. Austin Chaney. About Resignation . . . To the Editor: In view of the controversial na ture of my position in campus poli tics as secretary of the Greek bloc, and in view, of the suspicions which this position arouses con sidering my position on the Emer ald, I hereby make public my res ignation as bloc secretary. The unhealthy amateurish politi cal machinations of both parties on the campus impose necessary, but perhaps equally unhealthy, re strictions on the activities of Em erald staff members. As editor elect of next year’s Emerald, I be lieve it is my duty to begin to practice impartiality now. Marguerite Wittwer.
