Memo to: Robert Weide, Editor Trojan
From: Leta Galentine, President, ASSC.
Concerning: Please place this message from my office in a box on the front page of the Trojan (a right guaranteed me in the ASSC constitution) to appear on Jan. 10, 1944.
To the students of SC:
From time to time it becomes the pleasure and duty of the president of the Associated Students to acquaint the students through the columns of the Trojan with the affairs of student government. Today it is more a duty than a pleasure that prompts my message.
The following facts, which were conveniently omitted from the newspaper reports of the Senate meeting of last Wednesday, I wish to be made public in order that a true and unbiased picture of the situation can be presented.
1.	One copy of the ASSC constitution was stolen from my office during the week before Christmas vacation, which fact I promptly reported to Dean Bacon, counsellor of men, and Arnold Eddy, general manager of the Associated Students. Fortunately, this office has always maintained a second copy for reference. Since certain students are so interested in the constitution that they will efiter private offices which are locked to obtain information, I am having copies made which will be placed in the offices of the dean of men, dean of women, and in the library, as soon as possible.
2.	Because of previous disagreements over the matter

for Squires
of appointments, and because I wish to facilitate the choosing of elections commissioner, instead of my naming an individual, I thought it more democratic to let the Senate name a candidate which I would appoint and they would ratify. In this way, all nominees would receive equal consideration. The important thing to me was not the personality or affiliation of the elections commissioner, but that he be selected and supported by that group to which he is responsible—the ASSC Senate.
3. The account of the Senate meeting in the Trojan of Friday, Jan. 7, is not necessarily representative of the meeting nor are ths statements as printed accurate. I know that I speak for the other Senators as well, in asking the representatives of the press who cover these meetings to confine their material to statements of fact, direct quotations, and to refrain from inserting “colored” opinions.
In closing, may I extend a sincere invitation to all students to attend the meetings of the ASSC Senate on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Student Union building. This is your student government, and that I may better carry out my responsibilities as your representative, if I know your desires, I would appreciate meeting you and talking over affairs of student government in my office, 233 Student Union.
In all sincerity,
Leta Galentine, president,
Associated Students, SC.

appearance
Appearing for the last time tonight at 8:30 p.m. will be “Outward Bound,” production of SC’s
drama department. Opening Friday, the play has had a very successful two-day run, according to Miss Frieda Meblin, director, and has greatly encouraged production of future dramas. *
Starring in the play, Dick Gibbs, marine trainee, portrays the part which is taken by John Garfield in the Warner Brothers’ movie rendition. Also featured in the play are characterizations by Mary Ellen Needles and Ned Patton.
Students were particularly impressed by the shipboard setting, said Miss Meblin. This was the work of Mrs. Charlotte Chappie, technical advisor of the drama department.
The various personalities which deal with one another in this unusual fantasy were also well received, according to the director. “These character sketches usually cause quite a bit of comment,” she said.
Students who have not yet seen the play and those who wish to see it again are welcome. Admission is free to trainees and all students holding activity books. Group seating for sororities or other organizations may be arranged for in the play productions office, 217 Student Union.
SC’S EDITOR DEFENDS PRESS
Memo to: Leta Galentine, Acting President ASSC From: Robert Weide, Editor, Troian.
Concerning: In answer to the charges in the above named memo from the office of the acting ASSC president.
This is. not a pleasant editorial to write. It has been written solely because of the accusations made by Leta Galentine against the Trojan.
The editor has had absolutely no ulterior motives in running news items concerning the election in the past week’s Troians. These commentaries are being run for two specific reasons:
1. To acquaint new students at Troy with the background of past elections on the campus.
To insure an honest election on Jan. 31.
2.
1.
2.
Now to answer Miss Galentine’s charges:
To begin with the loss of the constitution was not mentioned at last Wednesday night’s Senate meeting. The loss of the constitution was not even mentioned in the Senate account, hut in the Groundhog column.
In taking a straw vote of the Senate, Miss Galentine
acted in the letter of the law, but not in the spirit of the law. The editor honestly believes that the ASSC head in using this method of naming an elections commissioner failed to assume the responsibility of her office. This opinion is based on the fact that she avoided the obligation placed on her by the ASSC constitution. Rather than submitting the name of the individual whom she honestly believed was best qualified for the positipn, she let the all-important appointment rest in the hands of the various factions represented on the Senate.
3. Spearing for the press coverage of the Senate meeting, the editor feels that the reporting of the meeting was accurate. The direct quotations were printed as recorded. As far as “colored opinions” are concerned, it is the duty of the reporter under a byline, not only to report the event, but to interpret it for the paper’s readers.
This is not the first time in the history of man that freedom of the press has been attacked by those who fear it. We do not pretend to dictate right or wrong, but we do intend to defend our right to print the facts as we see them.
Twenty-seven sophomore men have been recommended by the Trojan Knight cabinet for membership into the Trojan Squires and have oeen approved toy the Trojan Knight body, announced Bob Campbell, president.
These men were chosen on the basis of their work in
freshman and sophomore activities. They will uphold the traditions of the university and they will instruct other lower classmen in SC’s organization, purpose, and university songs. A test was given before the men were officially chosen for Squires.
