    I Letters to the Editor
Headline Questioned
Emerald Editor:
Mxy I call your attention to a
»e‘vvH Item appearing on page
*‘*ven of today's (March 1i Dally
Emerald.
The headline reads. "College
Student* Want Elsenhower." Yet
In the atory which follows we are
told that a number of college
student* were naked whether or
not they think that Mr. Elsen
hower will run for a second term
In 1956.
I suspect that among these
students who were polled, at
least some would like to make
a distinction between what they
want to happen and what they
think will happen.
I do not mean to suggest that
this was anything but an over
sight on the part of your paper's
staff. However, similar distor
tions are all too frequently de
liberate on the part of certain
editors, and I would not like to
see you included among thefe
people.

On Thinking
| Kmmld Editor:
j t noticed «n the editorial page
i of today's (March 1» Emerald
that you eloquent leaders of the
Fourth Fatale on thia campus
were surprised that a poll of U.8.
1 College atudenta ahowed that 51
percent of them don’t know what
SEATO la. Personally I waa sur
priaed that the Emerald printed
| auch an editorial. I had come to
uHBiime that it waa your editorial
policy not to editorialize beyond
the bounds of campus affairs,
i It aeems to me like the pot call
ing. the kettle black when the
Emerald pointed Its finger at the
half of the country’s college stu
denta who aren’t concerned with
the world they live in. However
f took your editorial aa a spark
of hope. Since the Emerald odi
I lots have become appalled at the
fact that half the nation’s col
lege population doesn't think,
perhaps we can now begin to
read what the Emerald editors
do think.
Presumptuously yours,
W. B. Swenson
