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

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.
