Press Restrained
In Southern Past
A study of press suppression in
the American South in the period
leading up to and immediately fol
lowing the Civil War was deliv
ered in the Student Union brows
ing room Wednesday evening by
Warren C. Price, associate pro
lessor of journalism, in an at-!
tempt to shed light upon the press
tensions of today.
Speaking on the subject "An
American Crisis in Freedom of
Speech: The South, 1830-1870,”
Price declared that as we vindi
cate the defeats of truth in the
past, so shall the defeats of truth j
in the present be vindicated in the
future.
"To forget the journalistic |
struggles of the past would mean
eventually to lose the rights which I
those struggles have won," Price
stated.
Story Is Tragic
The story of press suppression in
the South during this yeriod is one
of sheer tragedy, he said. Yet we
can look back on the intellectual
defeat of the South 100 years ago
and see that our contemporary
struggle for freedom of speech is
a mild one.
No freedom of speech, press or
thought on the slavery issue exis
ted in the South before the Civil
W'ar, and very little of it existed
afterwards, Price said. The era
marked the complete defeat of!
truth.
Issue Dodged
The press in the North was too
busy growing up economically and
took little part in the slavery con
troversy, generally dodging the
issue. Abolitionists papers had to
carry the burden of the issue •
alone, and were in disfavor among ;
large segments of the northern
press.
News and exchange of ideas
simply did not get through to the
South, Price said. In Southern
dailies the moderate voices were ]
not heard.
In answer to a question during
the discussion period lead by W.
H. Stephenson, professor of his
tory, following the lecture, Price
admitted that press suppression
hinged mainly on the slavery is
sue and that freedom of speech
was relatively unhindered in re
gards to other topics of the times, i

Board Votes Not to Sponsor
Red Cross Benefit Mixer
the student Union board Wed
nesday turned down a proposal to
sponsor a Red Cross benefit mixer
in the Fishbowl. They recommen
ded instead that cannisters be
placed in the Fishbowl to take vol
untary contributions from stu
dents.
Disapproval of the Red Cross
board's request was made because
the proposed admission charge was
ffot in line with the board's free
mixer policy. It was also pointed
out that other campus groups
might seek similar benefit mixers.
Under the Red Cross board's
proposal. 20 cents admission would
have been charged. They planned
to have a band to provide music.
In other business the board ap-!
proved resuming sponsorship of!
the recitals given by seniors in ■
music. The concerts will be under
the supervision of the SU music
committee, headed by Dick Bara
novich.
The music school will regulate
the recitals, required of senior
music students. Three such con
certs were held in the SU ball
room last year. The board recom
mended that future recitals be
held in the Dad's lounge.
Bob McCracken, chairman of the
coffee hour forum committee, re
viewed his committee's program
for the year. The board suggested
tentative topics for coffee forums,
other than assembly speakers.
In a discussion of the Union
Crier, house organ of the SU pro
gram staff, the board recommend
ed that the date line and place
of publication be printed on each
edition.

ment will be held next Wednes
