siders th e term “co u n try new spaper*
uncom plim entary and asks sugges­
tions for a b etter term for "C ountry

into the discard.
It says: "T he term in itself Is m is.
leading an d gives a w rong im pres­
sion. It b elittles th e in s titu tio n it is
supposed to describe. It is a term of
an o th er day and age."
F ollow ing reply to th is has been
w ritten by H arry H am m ond, Jr.,
Junior of th e U niversity of C aliforn­
ia, fo restallin g any a tte m p t to change
th e nam e, and liftin g it to a hig h er
plane:
" I do not agree th a t tho term

"In stead of b e littlin g and g iv in g ;
th e w rong im pression, it connotes !

th a t lack of yellow jo urnalism which
is so evident and p redom inant in the

T he ed ito r does not w ant anyone
to send him any more copies of the

in p u ttin g up an o rd er; a law yer who
never lost a case th ro u g h h is own e r­

w rong box; a w om an who never for­
got to pu t In th e sa lt w hile cooking
or to pu t ten in th e teap o t before
p u ttin g in the w ater.
B ring on some of your m istak e­
less paragons who find It so easy to
criticize th e new spaper, an d we will
give them the chance of th e ir llvet
to find out w h eth er they are really
