Tenor, Bass. and Clifford Wynns, Vanc.i, 'Graham John Lewis T-aiiit Funny Magese*- ( Editorial,) The flying of a swastika from a flag pole on the campus was done as a joke, which.is comdemnation enough for what it stands for. We,don't need to worry that Nazi agents are working in our midst, but instead that a thoughtless moron is wandering about loose who thinks that his act was funny. No more damage has been done other than a possibility that the University may get unfavorable publicity from the nationwide attention the affair attracted. This indeed would be an unfortunate outcome, but the oppc site is more likely to be true. Every account of the inci' dent stressed the fact that students and townspeople were irritated at the act, and that vigorous attempts were immediately made to remove the blight from the campus. The attitude of the people and students here is obvious so no fair minded person will suspicion the sentiments of a whole school because a weak minded prankster practiced a joke.
