★ Laying Aside the Quill
With this issue the Daily Trojan writes a journalistic “30” to another year of publication.
The year has been fruitful for news —two ripe semesters full of top-notch •tories that pave DT reporters excellent experience, and the staff in general an opportunity to picture the university realistically.
The football squad’s comeback after the PCC nicked its total senior strength, the Idyllwild Conference, Homecoming, the library investigation, the Christmas Show, the boost in next year’s academic standards all were high-grade grist for the city room mill.
The Theta Nu Epsilon investigation, revision of the election bylaws, the controversial ASSC elections and the subsequent protest hearings each afforded material to tickle the reader's palate, and provided the DT with coverage opportunities that secured it another coveted All-American award.
In the process of reporting the news objectively, the DT shunted in and out of controversies, inevitably alienating many who didn’t see eye to eye with its policies or practices.
This in itself was wholesome because. In an intellectual university environment. as in any free-minded society, complete conformity and lack of criticism breeds sterility and inertia rather than an independent; self-sufficient spirit.
Criticism, however. 19 one thing, outright hostility is another, and the DT has attracted both. Yet looking back the DT finds itself as proud of its enemies as of its countless friends.
Most of those whom it alienated beyond repair have been those who sought to use the publication for biased and
selfish reasons—who were disappointed to find that the DT was not a public relaitons medium for pet projects or personal dramatizations.	%
For what it has accomplished and for what it stands, the DT owes a sincere thanKS to an administration that has placed total responsibility on the editorial staff, and permitted it to represent all segments of the university without previous restraint.
Practically on an average of once a week the editor nas received letters from fellow coliege journalists begging information whether or not the DT is plagued with university censorship and restrictions, common on many college campuses.
In all such correspondence the DT has proud.lv heralded that it has never been shouldered by the shameful pall of administrative censorship.
It would be hypocritical, indeed, if a university posed as a center dedicated to training students in the arts and ethics of unbiased journalism and then leveled stringent rules on what its students could and couldn’t print in a workshop publication.
This problem the DT has never been faced with. It has accepted the university for what it is—a community of 15,00ft students shedding adolescent inhibitions and gaining confidence and knowledge in the reality of the world around them.
It has recorded with a clear conscience the pulse and progress of SC. The Daily Trojan is as proud of Troy’s academic achievements as of it? understandable human conflicts, all of which contribute to the heritage and the making of this great university.

PHI KAPPA PHI
Dear Trojans:
These final days of the spring semester afford each of us an opportunity to evalute what we have and have not done this year in campus activities. While many of us were willing to devote much time to student government, others failed to see the value of such participation. I am confident Trojans who gave of themselves for the University will receive in return.
Successful campus leaders are those who have earned the respect, love, and trust of their colleagues and followers. These intangible qualities f' -m the solid foundation on which leaders of the future are built.	%
My sincere gratitude goes to the Trojan student body for making possible one of the most treasured years of my life. No tangible award could ever substitute for the memorable experiences and wonderful friendships I have

Society president watch. Palmer is a junior in the School of Dentisiry. The occasion was an overall tour of the Dental Clinic and its operations taken recently by the Society.
Dent Students Tour SC Clinic
Members of the Pre-Dental Society concluded their semester's activities this week with a tour through the SC Dental Clinic.
They were told that the clinic serves a dual purpose. It operates in such a manner that the dental students gain practical experience in all phases of modern dentistry and the patients receive the benefit of the latest dental techniques at a reduced rate.
All Departments Seen The Society members visired all of the denartments of the clinic including oedodont’cs (children's dentistry), operative W'here most fillings are done, the sterilizing rooms where all instruments and towels are sterilized and the examination room where all new patients are X-rayed for the purpose of locating hidden infections and abscesses, crooked roots, imparted teeth, sttr'1 cavities and hidden cvstc and tumors.
Tlie members were also told that only students in their junior and senior ye^r are allowed to work in thr> cUnic.

1800 Treated "Veklv Aporoximat^lv 1800 nat'ents are treated at the clinic in a week. In addition to these patients there are about 50 children who also receive treatment.
This touT* wras only one of the manv activities of the Pre-Dental Society this 'ear. according to Hal Karlinsky, president of the society.
Committee Kills Vulture
The Student Activities Committee, in an action approved by university Vice President Earl C. Bolton, yesterday “publicly reprimanded” Sigma Delta Chi, national journalism honorary, for its “violation of ethics and morality” in their publication of the 1957 “Vulture.”
Students who were responsible for the issuance of the tabloid humor newspaper will have copies of this reprimand “entered on their official records.” disclosed Acting Dean of Students Clinton A. Neyman, chairman of the committee.
Suspend Vulture The group also recommended that the publication of the “Vulture” be suspended indefinitely. Consideration of renewal of permission to publish the tabloid "will only be entertained uoon satisfaction of the committee that the proper supervision including adequate staff time and a clear definition of policy be established.” he said.
President’s Reply In reply to these actions by both student government and the university administration. Doug Cameron. Sigma Delta Chi president, said, “It is unfortunate
