Engineering Open Now
To Women, Dean Says

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. IA. =
Modern engineering offers career
to women as well as men, says Dean
E. A. Holbrook of the University of
Pittsburgh School of Engineering.
For at least 40 years there have
been a few women students at the
largest engineering schools in the
East" Dean Holbrook points out.
They have competed successfully
and without embarrassment in at
least civil, architectural, mechanical,
aeronautical, electrical chemical,
general and industrial engineering"
The only limitation to women's

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

When dictator springs up and seiZes
the reins of government he first makes GER
tain he will get the proper kind of pub
licity. One of his first steps, therefore, is
to work out an effective control of the
press of his country. Once under control,
the press becomes that dictator's forum
and his only. His views and the yammer-
ings of subordinate leaders fill the pages
of that press. No contrary opinion is al
/ lowed to creep into print. If it does, off
goes the editors head.
That is why it is dangerous in demo
Heracy such as this one to attempt to con-
troll the press. The minute the people lose
free press they begin to lose their other
rights and privileges. Any man or set of
men who resent adverse opinions aimed at
them in a free press and then attempt to
muzzle that press are plainly seeking to
perpetuate themselves in office. When a
governmental agency cannot stand crit
icism there is pretty certain to be some
thing wrong with the policies and prac-
tees of that agency.

persuade The Citizen from expressions of
opinion regarding the WPA and other fed
eral agencies. We have been informed
that any adverse opinions in these columns
along certain lines would react against
Key West and Monroe county. In short, it
was ntimated that if The Citizen did not
give up it's right to write independently
and fearlessly the federal government
would not make any further allotments for
public works in this community. Although
we do not subscribe to that belief, we still
reserve our constitutional right to criticize
where criticism is demanded, even grant
ing that the threat carries some official
weight.
This is The Citizens platform and we
intend to stick by it as long as this is
free country:
We will always seek the truth and
print it without fear and without favor.
We will never be afraid to attack
wrong or to applaud right.
We will always fight for progress.
We will never be the organ or the
mouthpiece of any person, clique, faction
or class.
We will always do our utmost for the
public welfare.
We will never tolerate corruption or
injustice.
We will denounce vice and praise
virtue
We will commend good done by in
dividual or organization.
We will tolerate Others rights, views
and opinions.
We will print only news that will
elevate and not contaminate the reader
We will never compromise with prin-
ciple
The Citizen believes that while &C.
casionally it may have erred slightly it has
stuck pretty close to that platform. We
believe we have reflected the opinion of
the community, that our editorials have
been open and independent, that we have
taken definite positions on various ques-
tions affecting the best interests of the
community and that we have devoted a lot
of our time to promoting the general wei
fare. "a
So believing, we do not propose to be
muzzled by any man or governmental
agency and will go along as We always
have, fearlessly and independently.
