University Students Discuss
Effect of Faculty Interior

BERKELEY, Nov. 3.-Whether Ed :

Bile Pelican without mourning cen.
sure from the faculty and student body
is the question that is being asked ON
the campus of the university. The next
edition OF the comic paper, after the
fateful edition of former Editor Roland
Fay. the day of the freshman game,
will appear junior day. this month. No
big game" number viii be printed this
year.
Since Fay was deposed as chief of
the publication and incidentally sus-
pended from college for a year. the
uppermost problem with the students
has been whether the Pelican can
thrive without the spice interjected
into it by Fay. He declared that. the
comic publication was doomed to fail
ure unless there was something at
tractiYe in it for the students. The
stock OF college jokes of the unques-
tionable kind seemed TO be so limited
that the variety not exactly to the.
faculty taste were used in the book.
Fay's Pelican was exceedingly popu-
lar. The suppressed edition brought as
much as 81 a copy, with the defna nd
clsmorous and the supply wea X But
the faculty and students affairs COM
mittee did not think much of the bird:
as a student publication.
Kergsn. who was selected by thy.
English club for the post of editor un-
til the end of the term. has the task
on his hands of making the Pelican
a readable and attractive paper for the
students and earning the proper divi-
dends without ineurring the displeasure
Of the authorities.
He will follow in the footsteps of his
predecessor in that he will keep the
same staff. but ii is said that he will
not have much trouble with the fac.
ulty, as the proofs of the publication
will be FIRST blue peneiled by the au-
thorities. This method of procedure
is something new on the campus.
