President Gideonse is Afraid of the Student Body!

Student Flyer,

1950

PRESIDENT GIDEONSE IS AFRAID OF THE STUDENT BODY!

1. That’s why he suspended the students who spoke out against the gagging of student rights last year !

2. That’s why he suspended student council elections and revised the student constitution.

3. That’s why he extended the indicated speakers ruling to keep off campus people like Jaffe, who fight for civil rights.
HE KNOWS THAT EVEN NON “LEFTIST” STUDENTS ARE FIGHTING AGAINST INFRINGEMENTS OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM!

4. That’s why he suspended Vanguard, which is a liberal student paper!
It exposed his speaking in of R.O.T.C. to militarize the campus.
It showed that Gideonse handpicks department chairmen.
GIDEONSE KNOWS THAT THE STUDENT BODY IS FED UP AND HE IS AFRAID!

5. That’s why he suspended the one means of student expression which could get the facts of his Hitler-like rule on campus—Our paper VANGUARD.

6. That’s why he suspended the Vanguard editors who represent all shades of political opinion.

GIDEONSE IS AFRAID AND HE IS OUT TO QUIET EVERY LAST MURMUR OF PROTEST BY THE STUDENTS!

So the issuance of a students paper this FRIDAY is of vital importance!

It means we won’t take his intimidations lying down!

But we can’t let VANGUARD people fight alone for us. The paper is ours. We bear responsibility of seeing that it comes out!

1,000 OR MORE NAMES AS PUBLISHERS OF A PAPER WILL SCARE THE WITS OUT OF GIDEONSE!

LET HIM TRY TO SUSPEND 1,000 STUDENTS!

S0—SIGN UP AS PUBLISHERS!
