CLASS MEETING THIS AFTERNOON .OPENS SENIOR ACTIVITIES FOR ENTIRE WEEK Dear seniors and underclassmen:

Four years of college work have taught me the · folly of bromides but I still insist that "All work and no play -makes Jack a dull boy." There­fore, I urge everyone, especially the seniors, to enter into the fun and frolic of Senior Class Week.

Many of you . have worked very hard in planning the activities for the week.

It is indeed very encouraging to have a group of students and friends thus willing to share the responsibi­lities of the class.

I wish that every senior · and underclassman will participate in all the functions of Senior Class Week.

KA LEO O HAWAII, MONDAY, MAY 6, 1946

Let them speak . .. Behind the hue and cry raised over charges. and denials of mis­

interpretation and misrepresentation of views and news regarding the recent forum on the campus lies the paramount consideration concerning the extent to which expression can be maintained in any university. '

Whether or not the fontm presented by the Hawaii Y outh_ for Democracy showed decided one sidedness is beside the point. Whether or not newspaper accounts indicated "slanting" of the news is not the issue.

Newspaper editors who are not experts by far on foreign policy strive in their columns to prese1~ facts and arguments, reflections and opinions. Similarly, laymen and stµdents, often sh31 of a thorough, adeqitate background, venture to present their thoughts, nevertheless.

When faculty members unclose their mouths to holler at a down­town forum or at a group discussion, startled c-itizens gasp in horror that the supposedly absent-minded professors forsake and discard their staid, typical role.

No one cl~'ims that university instructors who are not professors of pol sci, qualify to be called authorities on foreign policy. But they do not nialiciously intend to distort the opinions 'of . their audience. Students , believe they are entitled to hear opposing viewpoints.

Students here do not agree with some of the statements appearing in local journals and the men who made them . . To prevent misunder­standing it would do well to invite them, to speak on the campi1-s.

For All To Enjoy ... All through the week the seniors have planned activities for them­

selves and for the student body. These programs are open to all.

See the nwvie tomorrow. Listen to the concert of classical and

semi-classical music by student talent Wednesday. Take time out for

meditation at the worship service Thursday. Decide now to enter

the Berndt Extemporaneous Oratorical Contest or, if not, to attend the contest.

These programs are sponsored by the seniors but they are for all to enjoy. Everybody is invited.
